The Fan:
Have the part now (Mai 2015) for 3 years. Still hums fine to himself. For the size I find the moving air mass impressed, especially as the noise really is limited. The Vent is not louder than the fan noise of my PCs. The three rubber surfaces below the uprising Ironing leave the USB fan stand firmly on the table. The experience described in a recession, the part would move by the recoil of the air, I can not confirm. The part is in my bombproof. I welcome the fact that the vent in the backside has an on-off switch and you do not off the USB cable and must put up with. Unfortunately, my kids loved the part so great that she first unbuttoned Aben and I had to order a equal yet I do today.
The pricing (skip easy, if not interested):
But I had to fret about the daily changing prices with the same provider: On 15.5.2012 I ordered the first for 9.90 euros, on 22.5.2012 I ordered the second for 8.70 euros and today costs on 24.5.2012 suddenly 11,70 Euro. Even the always specified slashed price to suggest that this is a special offer, Changes frequently. So this may not be the Rec. Its sales price. As I held this pricing unacceptable (is worse than at the gas station), I have made myself to the search for alternatives in Amazon and am found it. For just 6.50 (with free shipping by Prime) I now have the products PC cable Mini USB Fan Fan FAN world blue -USB connection -size 150 x 96 x 150 mm plastic material -Weight 250 g 5V -Power up to 1,2Meter and PC cable Mini USB Fan Fan FAN world orange - USB port - Size 150 x 96 x 150 mm - Material Plastic - Weight 250 g - 5V - Power up to 1,2Meter ordered and the first already received. He is 100% identical to the Mumbi-part and even on the back of the same inspection sticker from production. By contrast, the packaging is even much better: while only a plain white card obtained at Mumbi without any inscription, there is a colored box with a printed product description.
Addendum (april 2015): Unfortunately, the selling fast from me "PC cable world" -Vents are evidently long been discontinued. Moreover Mumbi has now lowered the price to 3.99 euros to counter the above criticisms and to be optically the cheapest. BUT: At the same time, but now requires 5 Euro shipping. So the part will cost 8.99 euros. Alternatively, there are, for example, for EUR 3.75 plus EUR 2.99 shipping (ie in total 6.74 euros.) At Amazon Recreation Recreational Twitfish Retro USB Fan - Black or 6.99 euros in free shipping Mini USB Fan fan following. FAN Power Cooler PC desktop. Look exactly so, but I can not say anything about the quality.
Addendum (Mai 2015): Suddenly the fan costs here again 9.99. It is clear that in any case continue to take a price comparison.
Conclusion:
So there you can get the fan in the same quality and better packaging and at a fixed, clearly günstigerm Price at Amazon, I prefer here (because of the chaotic pricing) again a star off because the price / performance ratio is in the alternative then but be noticeably better. The quality is - even after almost 3 years now - still impeccable and therefore worth 5 stars.
