9-Inch Frameless Box Fan, Freestanding Desk Fan with 3-Speed Settings, Portable Fan for Home Office or Garage, BFB09W, White

This frameless box fan is fantastic! It has a sleek, modern design that looks much cleaner and more streamlined than traditional box fans. The airflow is strong and consistent, quickly cooling down the room without being overly loud. I love how lightweight and easy it is to move from room to room, and the slim profile makes it easy to store when not in use. Despite its minimalist design, it feels sturdy and well-built. It’s efficient, quiet, and stylish—a perfect combination. If you’re looking for a powerful fan that doesn’t look bulky or outdated, this frameless box fan is a great choice. Highly recommend!

This is a desk fan, NOT a mini air conditioner. That said, it blows somewhat cooler air than a simple fan, which is fantastic at this price point. Its reasonably quiet at low speed, though fairly loud at high speed. As you would expect. There was no assembly, and setup was very easy. I seriously considered rating it only 4 stars, as it requires a lot of water while operating. It runs out of water in around 4 hours of continual use at the lowest level. This is a drawback. Another drawback is that it is very hard to see how much water remains, due to an odd design flaw. Despite these drawbacks it merits 5 stars because as a desk fan at this price point it is remarkably good.

Full disclosure, I just got this today but have had it in my cart for a very long time. I have lived in an older studio apartment for a year plus now which does not have ventilation in the bathroom. It has just one small window to let out the moisture after a shower. I leave the window open when I shower and for a bit after but it always still moist in there. I bought a dehumidifier as well that I run in there but it just doesn't quite get all the moisture out at the rate I would like. I searched for small fans and this one seemed perfect. I contemplated it for a long time though, because the price just felt too steep. I finally saw it get to the lowest it has ever been a few days ago and decided it was time to just buy it. It was never really going to get much cheaper than this. I received it today, a little skeptical but excited. It fits in my window great. I ran it facing out when I took a shower to get the moisture out and then let it run for a while after the shower as well. I noticed the bathroom felt less muggy than it usually does after a shower and the mirror wasn't quite as foggy. It's now late night and I have the fan facing the other way in the small window to pull in the cool air from outside. I like this option as this window is not street-facing so I feel comfortable having it open late at night in the city. Earlier today I also just ran the fan about 10 feet away from me on the coffee table pointed at my desk as I worked on the low setting and it was the perfect amount of cool air flow. It is actually quite powerful. The sound also isn't bothersome. I have an in-wall ac unit and I dislike running it because it is so noisy even on the low setting. This fan is a great solution as I can just keep it on the lowest setting with minimal pleasant white noise and it will keep me cool enough. I am happy I bought the fan!

Very quiet and low profile for the amount of air it moves.

I originally bought this fan July 2023 and it worked great! Fit just fine in my bathroom window and ran quietly. Unfortunately now, about 2 and a half years later it's making loud grinding sounds when starting, a lot slower to start and sometimes I really need to hit it for it to start at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it dies completely soon.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The BLACK+DECKER Desktop Air Cooler (BDMC10) is a compact powerhouse that brings a pleasant, misty chill to personal workspaces. Its 0.5 L water tank cools quickly, and with three fan speeds, it’s easy to dial in comfort for your desk, bedside, or home office. The cooling effect is noticeably better than a standard fan, perfect for dry or stuffy rooms. I appreciate how lightweight and portable it is, it’s easy to move around, and the simple controls are intuitive. The unit also includes a basic filter to trap dust, which is a nice extra for allergen-conscious users. On the downside, the water tank needs frequent refilling—roughly every 4–5 hours on high speed and the mist can sometimes leave a slight damp spot nearby, so I keep a coaster or cloth under it. Also, it’s best used in well-ventilated spaces, as the evaporative cooling is less effective in high humidity. Overall, this cooler is a solid pick if you’re after affordable, breezy comfort in smaller spaces. It’s not a full-room air conditioner, but it shines at providing personal cooling when you need it most.

Ive seen these around for a few years. They keep getting smaller. This item is great. Hard to believe the cold air coming out of a little box plugged into a USB port. Its quiet.

I bought this fan primarily to aid in drying the carpet after shampooing. It gives great air volume, yes the highest level is loud, but that was ok as it’s purpose was to dry the carpet faster. It worked very well in this capacity and I’m glad I bought it.

Don’t judge my setup lol I had to change the air in the room through the window because creating a natural airflow was impossible. I tried a fan three times bigger, but all it did was move the air around inside the room. So I used this tiny fan with a setup that blocks air from coming in or out, honestly thinking that because of its small size, it wouldn’t do much. To my surprise, it works really well. It’s much more powerful than I expected and on top of that, it’s very quiet.

Estaba buscando un ventilador pequeño para mi habitación, ya que el que tenía realmente ocupaba mucho espacio, tenía algunas dudas respecto a él, pero en cuánto lo recibí me encantó, es pequeño, compacto y realmente me gusta su diseño simple, elegante y limpio, no es muy pesado pero es muy estable, al funcionar, no se agita en lo absoluto y tampoco hace mucho ruido, para el tamaño, tiene un excelente flujo de aire en sus 3 velocidades, refresca bien una habitación no muy grande, creo que es perfecto para una recámara o una oficina y luce muy bien en cualquier espacio.

Il fonctionne très bien.

muito bom! silencioso, ventila muito bem . Amei
