I had to give this product a three star rating, as one of the two fans I ordered did a slow death... Initially it did not spin very fast and after a few days of periodic use, it refused to spin when turned on (unless I twirled the blade to get it going).Amazon has been great as usual so far on handling the return and the replacement fan seems to work fine.Had it not been for the slow motion death, I would give the product a five rating.That said, these fans are incredibly quiet (much quieter than my Dyson Air Multiplier costing 10X as much) - indeed, they are almost silent - and therefore perfect for office use. They are very much personal fans however - you won't get much breeze more than four feet away and that will be a gentle to moderate airflow. Another feature that works well for office are the rubber feet that the fan sits on ...there's no "walking" in direction of power cord like past finger-safe fans I've had - this fan stays put. There is also zero vibration transmitted to the desktop.Two other details to mention ...common to all the fans that I received:1) the power switch, when rotating between on / off position causes a noticeable "pop" sound on my computer speakers ...electrical noise. Not too big a deal, but makes you wonder about the quality of the switch.2) also to be clear, even though there are two ON settings (you can turn the on / off knob either left or right from the off position), there is only one speed as far as I can tell.

THE QUICK TAKE: The Soleus Air Soft-Blade Table Fan is a compact, quiet personal fan with an interesting design. If small size and low noise are important considerations for your use of a fan - such as for a table, desktop, bedside or countertop - consider this fan.There are three major reasons why you might want to consider this fan:First, it's compact - about 10" high, and 9-1/2" wide, and about 5.5" deep. (The four feet could stand on something 5-1/4" wide x 4" deep.) Since it's designed not to need an enclosure to keep things away from the blade, it can be smaller.Second, while it's not silent, it's fairly quiet, and the noise is soothing rather than irritating. You could easily have a phone conversation without needing to turn the fan off, as long as the fan was a few feet away. Some may even like the way it masks other noises, in an office or as a bedside fan. Certainly no one (such as a co-worker) more than 5 feet away should be bothered by the noise.Third, this Soft Blade fan has a fun and interesting design. The blades are softish, and the motor is designed to slow or stop if something comes in contact with the blades. Though it is unpleasant to touch - the blades spin fairly fast! - and children or animals might be a little distressed by it.One bonus, this fan is of course a lot easier to clean than a regular fan with an enclosure - and as you know fans get dirty!It's fairly stable, the layout of the four feet helps on that account. Mine has a slight wobble when it runs, due to something being slightly imbalanced in the fan. If it's more than slight you might want to exchange it.This moves a reasonable amount of air, a light breeze perhaps. You do have to be realistic about what an 8" fan can do, in terms of moving air. If you need more air, get something bigger and noisier.The negatives are minor:- The color scheme takes away from the design, with a light gray frame and a darker gray fan blade. I'd have preferred all one color.- You have to reach around the back to turn it on or off, which is only slightly awkward and probably the only place to put the switch other than on the cord.- There's just one fan speed. It would be nice to have a quieter, slower option. (There are two On positions, but both do the same thing - there's just one fan speed.)According to the label it uses 25 watts of power, which is a relatively small amount.

I bought one of these almost a year ago, and yes it lasted about two months before the dry bearing sound. I just let it sit on the dresser. I tried to pull off the blade to check the bearing, no luck. Yesterday having some time I decided to pull or break, while looking at the blade I noticed two screws in the front face in back of the blade, I undid them and the motor came out easily. A couple of drops of 3in1 and it is back working great. I am glad it was the rear bearing dry, the front one would be hard to get to. Anyway it is a nice little fan, I am glad I only paid $15 at BJ's. Looks like a quality or engineering problem.
