I am using this fan right now. At 2 feet from me blowing on my back I can feel it though my mesh chair, my dress shirt and a tee shirt.
Also
I have taken this fan apart and bent the metal blades to make a vibration machine.
I did this to vibrate the "work fitbit." The work fitbit was used to reduce the amount of health saving account HSA match my employeer paid.
My employeer lowered the match to zero then made us meet arbitrary daily goals to earn the money back. 500 steps in 5 minutes 6 times a day. 10000 steps a day, and 3000 steps in 20 minutes. Each goal gave you $1 for your HSA. $3x365 = $1095
At first I tried to do the required walking for the match but at a company where it was normal town eat at your desk during unpaid lunch to keep up with work the walking wasn't obtainable. I turned off location services for the insurance company app that kept track of my walking and 3 days later it said it wouldn't report my steps without it. This was the final straw.
I got this fan, a smart switch, an old phone, a new Google account, and a wood box.
I used the new Google account on my old phone that never went anywhere.
I bent the fan blades to vibrate, attached the fitbit to it. I set up the smart switch to get my steps.
I owned one of these for my office for a couple of years. I had to set it on a towel to reduce vibration. It got too annoying to use and I threw it out and got a plastic one.

I just need a small portable fan to put on a desk when I am traveling in hot weather. That vornado will blow my eyes out and its ugly and no USB
The Smartdevil one on Amazon (with the square frame) is the best travel fan I've ever had. Three speeds, even the lowest moves plenty of air. You can tilt it at many different angles. . It's sold under other brands too. I started using it every night at home and it's still going strong after a year. Works great with a battery bank during a power outage.

I have this honestly and It is objectively not worthless. This is perfect for specific situation like me sleeping/napping on bed while the said fan is being on my night stand blowing directly at my face. It not that loud and does help me sleep comfortably, at least for me, and no I'm not exaggerating here. You don't have to buy it lol.
1 quirk of mine. This can be plugged on Xbox One via USB port and it turns on while playing games lol. I love it.

Same for me, is there a code?
I got these since 7/2022 and they're still working well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0867DC9MP
Nice enough fan though.
