Portable Fans – Desk Fans & Standing Floor Fans

DESKTOP FANS

A small desk fan helps you feel a nice, cooling breeze as you work without taking up too much surface area. Our affordable Classic D12 Portable Desk Fan model is 12 inches in diameter and features four blades with a metal cage, rounded base, and front-facing speed controls. With retro-inspired design elements, this desk fan is versatile enough to fit spaces of all styles. And although it’s called a desktop fan, you can use these compact, portable fans in any indoor space where you could benefit from some extra airflow, like on your bedside table, vanity, or living room side tables.

In addition to its compact size, the D12 desk fan offers low-noise operation, making it an excellent choice for workspaces, reading nooks, or anywhere silence matters. Its sturdy design and polished look bring elevated style to small spaces where both design and performance are essential.

PORTABLE FANS

Ideal for fitting into corners and compact spaces, a portable floor fan brings air circulation to indoor areas like bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and more. Hunter’s Classic S16 Oscillating Standing Fan has a 16-inch diameter, rear-access speed controls, and a sturdy metal base that gives you the ability to adjust the fan height to meet your needs. This stand-up fan also includes a metal grille covering the four blades, offering a protective barrier and a vintage aesthetic.

As a floor fan, the S16 not only moves a serious amount of air—it looks good doing it. With a durable finish and sleek design, it works well in modern, transitional, and traditional spaces alike. Use it to circulate cool air in the summer or help distribute warmth from a space heater in cooler months.

PORTABLE FANS FEATURES

Both our desk and pedestal fans offer quiet, three-speed operation so you can choose the breeze level you want without excess noise interrupting the atmosphere. They each feature an easy-carry handle for convenient transportation, so you can move your fan wherever you want. Once you’ve found the right place to set it up, enjoy side-to-side oscillation to spread the air throughout the space. Our floor fan also offers tilting adjustability to further customize the direction of the breeze. The non-slip base design keeps fans from sliding and scratching floors and desk surfaces for worry-free use, and both fan models are available in Brushed Nickel and Matte Black finishes, so you can choose the best color to suit the style of your home.

Built to deliver targeted airflow and reliable comfort, Hunter’s portable fans are perfect for anyone looking to personalize their indoor climate—without committing to a permanent fixture.

WHERE TO USE A PORTABLE FAN

Portable and floor fans are ideal for almost any room in your home. Their flexible designs and easy mobility make them the go-to solution for spaces that need a quick cooling fix. Here are just a few spaces where a portable fan shines:

• Home Office: Stay comfortable while you work without turning up the AC
• Bedroom: Enjoy white noise and airflow on your nightstand or dresser
• Living Room: Circulate air while relaxing without bulky equipment
• Laundry Room: Help manage humidity or warm, enclosed air
• Garage or Workshop: Create airflow while working in tighter or warmer spaces
• Dorm Room or Apartment: Add comfort without needing to install a permanent fan

Wherever you place it, a portable fan brings instant, focused airflow that can help boost comfort and reduce energy costs. Need something more fixed in place? Check out our wall mounted fans for targeted airflow in tight spaces like home gyms, garages, or workshops.

PORTABILITY THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Unlike ceiling fans or wall-mounted options, portable fans can be easily moved from room to room. With integrated handles and lightweight frames, both our desk and standing floor fans are designed to travel with you—whether you’re doing chores, working, or relaxing in different areas of the home.

This flexibility makes them an innovative and affordable solution for people who want cooling without renovation or long-term commitment. Use them in place of, or alongside, ceiling fans to enhance circulation and target specific areas that tend to run warmer or feel stuffy.

PORTABILE VS. CEILING FANS: WHICH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

While ceiling fans are perfect for permanent, overhead airflow and ambient style, portable fans offer unique advantages. Floor fans are ideal for renters, small spaces, or households where airflow needs to change throughout the day. Because they’re easy to relocate, you can cool one room in the morning and another in the afternoon—all with the same fan.

For homeowners with ceiling fans already in place, a portable fan makes a great supplement. Use one near a window to bring in fresh air, or add one in a corner that your ceiling fan doesn’t quite reach. Together, they create a more balanced environment and help keep energy costs down—or complement your portable fan with a ceiling fan with lights for all-in-one comfort and illumination.

FIND YOUR FIT

Whether you prefer a low-profile desk fan or a vintage-style oscillating floor fan, Hunter offers portable solutions that blend design and performance. With finishes like Matte Black and Brushed Nickel, our fans match a wide range of aesthetics—from industrial to classic to modern farmhouse. And because they’re designed with quality and durability in mind, you can count on them to deliver lasting performance wherever you place them.
