(More customer reviews)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.

Not only does this 8-inch table fan look contemporarily fashionable, it also delivers exceptionally powerful airflow, in part because there's no grill getting in the way. But that's not an issue with this uniquely designed appliance. It comes equipped with a smart motor and soft rubber blade to offer peace of mind and to prevent injury. For instance, if an object or finger comes in contact with the blade, the fan will slow down until the object is removed, at which point the motor will automatically start up again at full speed. Use it on a desk or tabletop anywhere in the home or office to stay cool in the summer or to enjoy refreshing air circulation throughout the year. Other highlights include a simple control dial for turning the fan on or off, quiet operation, lightweight construction at just 3 pounds, and overheat protection with automatic shut-off. To clean, simply turn the fan off and unplug it, then wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. The 25-watt table fan measures 6 by 9-1/2 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
