Do you have a roommate who enjoys cranking up the heat?

Instead of negotiating over the thermostat, wouldn’t you prefer having a personalized cooling system?

This is the question I’ve asked numerous people in the last few days. And more often than not they said “YES!!”

If this is you then you need the ONEX Fan Clock. At just $15 on Amazon, this ingenious gadget does a little more than just plain old cooling. It has an LED designed to show you the current time through the rotation of the fan blades. Don’t worry, it has PVC soft fan blades, you can touch them as they spin without worrying about injury—a thoughtful feature, don’t you think?

Due to its USB-powered design, it’s also easy to plug into your laptop—whether you’re working at a desk or relaxing on your couch; you just slide the cable into one of the ports and you are good to go.

Because of its flexible gooseneck configuration, you can easily adjust it precisely where you need more airflow. While moving, I’ve found that the neck bends smoothly and stays put until you decide otherwise. It’s very responsive and does not slip or sag, so there is no need for repeated adjustments to get it back to your desired position. 

Now then, let’s talk about the standout feature on this gadget: the real-time clock displayed on the fan. Now, you might think it’s just a gimmick, but if you have a problem with punctuality, then it can act as that one subtle, in-your-face reminder to keep on schedule. No more excuses like losing track of time because you binge-watched shows or dove into work. And if you want an incentive to get the gadget and be more timely, just know the mid-air display adds a splash of sci-fi into your everyday routine.

In my day to day use I’ve found it to be very portable. While it’s not built to replace a full-sized fan, it’s perfect for people who prefer light cooling rather than full-room conditioning. I’ve also enjoyed how small, quiet, and effective it is. This means you don’t have to fret every time you turn it on and there is someone next to you. 

That being said, for anyone who wants functionality with a touch of novelty, this USB fan guarantees safety, adjustability and practicality while maintaining its unique flair. And if anything ever goes wrong, there’s a one-year warranty.

So, are you ready to beat the heat?
