Reviews: Quiet, powerful airflow, easy to assemble.

Xiaomi Rechargeable Mini Fan, $32.50
The Xiaomi Rechargeable mini fan is a handheld and desktop 2-in-1 fan that has 7 blades and 18.5 hours of battery life. If you are looking for something portable without compromising on the airflow, the Xiaomi rechargeable mini fan may be an option.
The fan weighs only 0.67kg, and is powered by USB-C charging, making it convenient for desks, cars or outdoor use. The 7 blades of the fan produce up to 6 m³/min airflow, and noise levels as low as 34 dB at speed level 1 and 48 dB at maximum speed level 4.

The most unique feature of the fan would be the front-mounted aroma cotton pad where you can drop your favourite essential oil or insect repellent for quick and easy dispersion.

JisuLife Table Fan Pro 3, $156.06
Brand new in the market, the JisuLife Table Fan Pro 3 was launched on 15 June 2025 along with upgraded versions of their handheld and outdoor fans. The brand was originally founded in China and became viral on Tiktok for its powerful airflow and sleek appearance that looks like a mini Dyson hairdryer.
Key features of the JusiLife Table Fan Pro 3 include the 3-in-1 design that combines a high-speed fan, built-in air purifier and customisable RGB mood light. It also has a turbo and precision cooling up to 5.6 metres per second wind speed and 100 smooth speed levels for tailored airflow.
The Pro 3 fan offers 3D movement at 45°, 90° or 120° horizontal, and 15° to 30° vertical oscillation for flexible air direction. Aesthetic features would include the ambient lighting that shows a 7 coloured ring light and a display that indicates battery level, speed and oscillation icons.
If you own a JisuLife handheld fan, you might have realised that although the fan speed is strong, it can be quite noisy. The issue with noise seems to be apparent in the Table Fan Pro 3 with many reviews about the noise. So, if you are planning to use the fan for sleeping or in a quiet environment such as the office, this fan may not be the ideal choice.
Reviews: Size of the fan is bigger than expected, quite noisy, premium price.
The JisuLife Table Fan Pro 3 can be purchased from Lazada.
Muji USB Desk Fan, $33
Don’t really need a very high-tech fan, but it needs to match your aesthetics? The Muji USB desk fan might be able to fulfill that standard. In the good old Muji minimalistic style, the USB desk fan comes in colours of pastel blue, pink, white and black, with two blades and two speed levels adjustable with a dial button control.
The fan comes in 2 different adjustability and variants - one is a non-swing version which you will have to manually tilt the head to adjust the wind direction, and another swing version that allows horizontal swing up to 70 to 80°.
The Muji Desk fan is a very basic table fan that would be ideal if you want a fan to cool down your PC or laptop, or to keep yourself cool while you are working on the desk. It is fully powered by USB, making it difficult for you to use it outdoors or anywhere without a USB power supply.
Reviews: Small and compact, cannot be carried around, perfect for office use.
The Muji USB Desk Fan can be purchased from Muji stores.
IONA 9-inch Air Circulation High Velocity Fan, $38.80
The IONA 9-inch Air Circulation High Velocity Fan, also known as the GLT920 model, is a compact table fan that improves air circulation in bedrooms and small areas. It is easy to use, featuring a simple speed control knob on its rear and comes fully assembled, so there is no need for you to assemble the fan yourself.
Other key features of the fan include the high velocity airflow which is powered by aerodynamic blades, delivering air circulation up to 5.5m/second. Despite the powerful airflow, it is quiet, operating at less than 35dB. The fan comes in 3 speed levels and an adjustable tilt of 90° vertically, allowing you to direct airflow precisely where needed.
The fan is rather compact with a full height of 27.5cm and 27cm base length. The design looks like a mix of the old school metal table fans and the Muji USB desk fan, making it a cute fan to have at home.
Reviews: Not very quiet, speed level 1 is already powerful enough, value-for-money.
The IONA 9-inch Air Circulation High Velocity Fan can be purchased from Lazada.
Remax RL-D77 Low Noise Desk Fan, $19.70
The Remax RL-D77 is another low noise operating fan that features a 90° vertical tilt, and is slightly smaller than the IONA high velocity fan. It has a total height of only 21cm and 16.5cm width.
The fan is rechargeable by USB, making it best for use in the office or on the study table, with the flexibility of bringing it around. The advantages of this fan include the 4 speed levels to choose from, and the horizontal swing oscillation which is usually not possible in smaller desk fans. The fan also comes with easy to remove front grilles, making it convenient to clean and maintain the fan.
Instead of using a manual knob to adjust the speed levels, this Remax fan can be adjusted with a sleek press button and LED indicator. With the rose gold metallic look of the fan head, the fan looks like a good addition to the home or office as well.
Reviews: Love that it is small but able to oscillate left, right, up and down, too big to be portable, battery indicator can be erratic if not fully charged.
The Remax RL-D77 can be purchased from Lazada.
EUROPACE 7-inch Adjustable Height Fan, $59.90
The EuropAce EUF3753D is a compact and versatile 7-inch rechargeable fan designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It has received good reviews for its lightweight and portability (weighing only 1kg), convenience in height adjustment and energy efficiency.
One of the best features would be the adjustable height from 34cm to 75cm and 4 speed levels, making it suitable for various settings instead of just a static fan sitting on the desk. It also features a long battery life, allowing up to 15 hours of wireless operation after 4 hours of fast charging, so you don’t have to keep it plugged in all the time to use it.
In terms of the oscillation, the EuropAce fan offers 90° horizontal and 35° vertical oscillation, ensuring even distribution of cool air across a room. The fan blade and front net are also detachable, allowing for straightforward cleaning and maintenance.
Reviews: Produces strong wind even at 1m away, good to use at targeted areas but not as a standing fan for ventilating the whole room, smaller than expected.
The EuropAce EUF3753D can be purchased from Courts and Climate vouchers can be redeemed on this product.
Mesa Bladeless Fan, $27.37
Need a desk fan for your kid’s playroom? You may wish to consider a bladeless fan that is safe and budget-friendly. The NFY Mesa Bladeless Fan is a compact, USB-rechargeable fan that is designed for personal use in small spaces. The bladeless design ensures safety, especially for those with children or pets.
Most bladeless fans are tall and bulky but this fan only measures 13.5cm in height, making it easy to place on desks or small tables. The Mesa fan comes in 6 wind speed settings to cater to different cooling preferences, and a LED display to show the battery power level.
Compared to a traditional fan from a long-established brand, the Mesa Bladeless fan seems to fall short in terms of performance with some reviews claiming that the wind power is not strong and the fan is noisy at maximum speed. However, if you are looking for a fuss-free bladeless fan for casual use, this is one of the few options available in the market.
Reviews: Nice design, compact size, wind power is weak.
The Mesa Bladeless Fan can be purchased from Lazada.
Mistral 8-inch Turbine Blade High Velocity Power Desk Fan, $55
Another air circulator on the list, the Mistral desk fan features a cyclonic turbine blade and a high-quality double bearing motor, delivering strong airflow suitable for personal use in offices, bedrooms or study areas.
For the speed settings, there are 4 speed levels to choose from, with oscillation of 60° horizontal and 60° vertical swing which is a slightly smaller coverage compared to the other fans. But what is convenient is that the Mistral fan comes with a remote control and a 4 hour timer to turn off the fan automatically. The fan also has a mute setting if you need a quiet operation.
If you are looking for an air circulator to help dry your laundry faster overnight, this fan would be very useful especially with the timer. The fan also has more than 200 reviews with 4.5 star ratings on Lazada, with most customers happy that the fan works well even at fan speed 1.
Reviews: Strong airflow, noisy especially at maximum speed, compact but sturdy.

The JISULIFE Portable Table Fan can be purchased from Lazada.
5 Things to take note when buying a table fan
- Fan size: Besides the physical size of the fan, take note of the blade size. Larger blades tend to move more air and feel cooler. You may also want to look out for the oscillation - a side to side or up and down oscillation covers a wider area depending on your needs.
- Airflow power: Usually fans come with an indication of airflow typically in cubic metres per minute. The higher the value, the better it is. If there is no indication, you may want to check user reviews or test it in person.
- Noise level: Check if the fan specifies a dB rating (decibels). The rating should be under 50 dB to be considered quiet. The blade design, speed settings, and motor type are also factors that affect noise.
- Speed settings and controls: Fans typically come in minimally three speed levels - low, medium and high. Controls can be manual or digital which may have timers, remote control or touch interface.
- Safety features: If you are buying the fan for your baby stroller or kid’s usage, you may wish to opt for one with a tight grille spacing for child safety. Fans that have overheat protection or auto shut-off features are also useful for long use or in hot climates like Singapore.
