In detail: MERTTURM Cordless USB Desk Fan

The MERTTURM stands apart from the rest of our table fan selection with one distinctive feature: it runs entirely on battery power, with no need for a mains socket nearby. Its 4000 mAh battery offers a stated runtime of 4 to 13 hours depending on the speed chosen, plenty to cover a full evening in the garden, a work session at the desk, or a weekend of camping.

Four speeds are available, adjusted via a built-in digital display that also shows remaining battery, a handy detail for planning the next recharge. Recharging itself is done simply via a USB cable, compatible with a computer, a power bank, or a car charger, making it a versatile companion both at home and on the move.

Its automatic 270° horizontal oscillation, switched on with a single press of a dedicated button, covers a noticeably wider area than most desk fans on the market. It pairs with a manually adjustable 105° vertical tilt, letting you aim the airflow precisely wherever you're sitting or lying. The brand states a contained noise level around 30 dB(A), quiet enough to suit a bedroom or a shared workspace.

With its compact 19.2 x 12 x 7 cm footprint, the MERTTURM slips easily into a bag for travel, camping, or simply moving from room to room without unplugging anything. The front grille comes off for easy regular cleaning. This cordless format makes it a great complement to the mains-powered table fans in our selection, for the moments when no socket is available: patio, camping trip, or a simple break in the garden during high summer.

Our tester's verdict: Benoit Richard

See our tester's profile

On a patio, while camping, or on a desk with no socket nearby, the MERTTURM earns its keep thanks to its 4000 mAh battery: expect 4 hours at full speed up to 13 hours on the lowest setting, plenty for a full evening or several days of occasional use. The automatic 270° oscillation, switched on with a single button press, covers a far wider area than most desk fans, with a manual 105° tilt adjustment thrown in as well. The digital display showing speed and remaining battery is a genuinely useful touch day to day, you always know when a recharge is coming without any nasty surprises. The format stays compact, almost personal, closer to an individual backup fan than to a model capable of cooling a whole room like the mains-powered units in our selection. A full recharge takes several hours, worth planning ahead of a trip. For on-the-go use or as a quick fix, it's a smart, affordable choice at under £30.
