The Best Clip-On Fan I've Ever Owned

I've used fans in all kinds of places. I do not have air conditioning in my bedroom, and I don't have a lot of floor space or table space for other types of fans. I love clip-on fans because I can quickly mount them out of the way, yet close enough to do their job.

When I was a service technician I always had at least one clip-on fan with me since I would often be required to spend long periods of time in rooms with little to no ventilation, air conditioning or air flow.

Over the years I've owned clip-on fans by many different manufactures and the Holmes brand fans have lasted the longest.

The Oscillating Clip Fan 

Yes! Holmes Clip-On Fans Oscillate!

I could not believe it when I found the Holmes Oscillating Clip Fan. In all the years of buying clip-on fans, one that could oscillate seemed so ideal, but for whatever reasons, I had never seen any.

The fan I was using was a Holmes, and I had been using it for a few years already, so without hesitation I purchased it. Like the Holmes fan I was already using, the oscillating fan has a metal reinforced clip with rubber grips.

In the past, I've kept other brand fans running by taking apart the motor, cleaning out the dust, and adding some lubrication. This is not recommended as an electric motor that is binding may overheat if you continue to use it.

I would manage to extend the lives of these fans by doing this, but they would eventually die for good, since I wasn't truly rebuilding the motors.

I'm happy to say that I've never opened either of the Holmes fans, and both still run. The older, non-oscillating fan still comes in handy, especially in the worst of the summer heat when I need a extra bit of air blowing on me.

I've used larger oscillating fans not made by Holmes in other rooms in the house, and their oscillating linkage tends to break within two years, I've actually had them break in less than a year, but I've had the Holmes Oscillating Clip-On Fan for over two years, and it still oscillates.
