    The office heating and cooling system isn't comfortable for a large number of our employees. They are always hot. I placed a number of MiniMax Towers in strategic spots throughout their work areas (i.e. under desks to cool feet, behind on countertops, on desks). Everyone is happier, comfortable, and more productive. A particularly desirable feature is the design which prevents paperwork from flying off the desk when the fan is on.

    The best small fan I have ever purchased
    By Hoot Up the HollerVerified Reviewer from Bridgeport, WV on 3/7/2008
    Pros:
    Adjustable, Compact Design, Powerful
    Cons:
    Can be noisy at low speed
    Best Uses:
    Small Rooms
    Describe Yourself:
    Quality Oriented
    Primary use:
    Personal
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    I have long sought a small fan for use in my bedroom, one that moves enough air but at the same time has small footprint. This fan has fit the bill very well. On the highest speed it really pushes a lot of air, but unlike many other fans where low speed is useless, the low speed on this fan still moves the air noticeably. And there are three speeds.

    Another great feature is that the settings you have in place when you turn it off are also the same when you turn it back on; you don't ave to reset the speed, oscillation, etc.

    Only one small peeve is that it can be a little noisy on low with oscillation. Also, I would have been willing to pay a little more for remote control like the full-size fan Brookstone sells (which I also own, and it is fabulous).

    Powerful, Compact, Excellent Product
    By Jeff GregoryVerified Reviewer from Chapel Hill, NC on 10/22/2007
    Pros:

    Describe Yourself:

    Primary use:

    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    I now own three of these: one for my office, one for my bedroom, and one for a second home and/or travel. They are powerful enough to really stir the air, but not too noisy. I like a bit of hum in the background when I sleep, and the fan provides that without being obtrusive. The closer you put it, the cooler it gets, but it moves the air in the room regardless of how much you can actually feel it. Compact, nice design, subtle footprint. One hint: the oscillating function lights up a pretty bright blue light, which can be a little bright in the dark. My Solution: any sticker will do.

    Pros:
    Attractive Design, Easily Understood Instructions, Easy Installation, Simple Interface
    Cons:
    Oscillate LED Superbright, Overpriced
    Best Uses:
    Dry Climates, Humid Climates, Poor Air Quality, Warm Climates
    Describe Yourself:

    Bottom Line:
    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The LED for the Oscillate function is unbelievably bright! It can get distracting when you are sleeping. Also it is kind of noisy -- it is a lot noisier than when the fan was brand new like the other reviewer stated.

    This fan is kind of overpriced. For this price, it should have an air ionizer built in or something, but it does not! My dad bought this for me and I wish he hadn't spent so money. I would've been happy with a $10 standard circular shaped fan but if you need a fan with a very small footprint and are willing to pay the extra cash, this is the fan to get.

    The fan blows a big volume of air. However, the fan started getting noisy within a month. Using the oscillating motion will make the noise worse.
