Get the Air Circulating
This past winter has been ridiculously harsh. I’ve experienced some cold winters but this one was exceptionally bad. We’re already past tax day and the weather is just now getting to the point where we can wear something besides winter coats, warm hats and boots. I was thrilled with the chance to wear my new Sandgrens clogs even for just a day before the next round of snow hit us.
Now that we’re finally starting to see some warmer weather, the last thing I want is to have the house all closed up. Spring is a time for opening windows and screen doors, for letting the wind whip through the house and fresh air replacing the stale air that has surrounded us during the frigid cold. In addition to having some fresh air, it is also an opportunity to adjust the HVAC and have some reprieve on the gas and electric bill for a few months. Along with opening the doors, we turn on ceiling fans and run other room fans. We recently received the Ozeri Brezza III Dual Oscillating 10″ desk fan to try out.
When it arrived, I decided to unbox it and check it out. Based on the size, there is no way it would fit on my desk. Even if it DID, I’m certain it would blow papers all over the place. I love the idea of being cool but not at the risk of having papers shuffled. Instead, I placed it on the floor. Since it comes with a remote control, it isn’t like I need to have it within reaching distance anyhow.
Another unique feature that made this conducive to being on the floor versus on the desk is that it is multi-directional. Every oscillating fan that I have owned has always moved horizontally so having it set at a height to get the most out of it was important. Not with the Brezza III unit from Ozeri – it oscillates not only left and right but also up and down. This allows for a good rotation of airflow whether standing alone or in a corner of a room that uses a ceiling fan. As with most fans, it has different strength levels as well. This one has a “quiet” feature along with three normal airflow speeds.
I find myself resisting the urge to say “and my favorite feature is” because seriously, there are so many great points for this. We started the list with a remote, multi-directional and variable speed but I’m adding another feature to the list: a timer. Our Ozeri Brezza fan is in our bedroom at the moment and I’m not sure I want it to run all night. I can easily set the timer to have it go off part-way through the night. The programmable timer offers the following increments: 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours and Off (meaning there isn’t a timer and it keeps running.)
What I found interesting is that the fan doesn’t have to oscillate at all. It can be set to a stationary position either horizontally, vertically or at a random angle. The owner’s manual actually provides details for utilizing it in both the summer AND the winter maximizing airflow of cool or warm air.
Overall, I’m very happy with Ozeri’s Brezza III Desk Fan and look forward to keeping cool with it. You can be an Ozeri fan too on Facebook or Twitter (whether you choose to oscillate or not is up to you). Do you usually run fans in your home to help circulate air and/or keep the energy bills in check?
This would be perfect for my bedroom at night! I can’t sleep without a fan. Also great for right next to my desk when I’m working.
This looks like a great fan to have in the house! Looks like it is powerful enough to keep a room cool!
I bet this fan would be awesome combined with air conditioning. It would blow the cold all over the house.
That looks like a great fan. We could definitely use a new one. Love that it has a remote too.
Wow – it doesn’t have to oscillate? That’s a neat function. I like the timer function too – being able to set the timer when I go to sleep is a major plus for me. This fan has me thinking of last summers heat already – I need to prepare and grab a few of these now.
It’s justttt started to get a bit too warm during the days here. As a blogger I spend a lot of time at my computer desk, the ozeri breeza would be perfect for me.
That is handy. My husband could use this for his desk. He is always too hot in the summer.

With summer just around the corner, the Ozeri Brezza III Dual Oscillating fan looks perfect! Especially after I come back from a run this would be great to have. Thanks for the review and the post!
This is very cool. Actually I was in the market for a desktop fan and was looking for a replacement. Thanks for the review!
I was actually looking for a small table fan to keep in my kitchen and have to check its available here. Thank you for sharing.
We haven’t yet gotten to where we need a fan. It’s still getting down to the 40’s at night here so the warmth of the day is a blessing. I open my windows daily. Still, I really like this little fan. Especially the remote control feature. I’ll keep it in mind for when our weather finally warms up more.
I really need a few of these to help circulate air through my work space. I like the smaller fans because they’re easier to place. I don’t have a lot of space for giant models.
We all have allergies, so our house will remain closed until June or so, but I do sleep with a fan on every night and the one I have currently is on its last legs.
Oh this is great! And I love the remote control . Perfect for not having to get up when chilling out 🙂
Very nice fan– and with a remote! Cannot beat that for convenience 🙂
that is really a great way to get the air flowing around you so the sir condition doesn’t have to work so hard.
That looks awesome! I’ve been considering a smaller sized fan, that might be right up my alley.
I love all my Ozeri products. I bet this is a great fan.
Fans are awesome, especially when you try to talk into them and sound like a robot.
You sold me! I totally want one of these. My family is always fighting over the fan for when they sleep. Maybe I should purchase more fans. This fan would be perfect!
I have never heard of this before, but it looks like it would be great.
I had no idea they make fans. We are renting a house without ac so come summer we will need several fans.
We’re big Ozeri fans in this house, hahaha pun totally intended. 😉 I didn’t know they made them tough until I saw your post about it on Twitter and now here. 🙂 I’d get one without hesitation. And it’s about to be the season to need one, woohoo!
I would love a fan with a remote, never mind all the other features!
Table fans are usually a designer’s worst nightmare, but this one is small and really cute.
Oh, I love a good fan! We have fans in almost every room of our house LOL
What a great fan! It would be great to have a remote with a fan. So easy to use!
A fab with a timer and remote is super cool. I love how adavace it is.
What a cool little fan. Interesting that it has an non oscillate feature. Major plus it comes with a remote control.
I’m actually looking for a couple of new fans. This one looks like it would be perfect for my office!
Hey Nicole,
What a “cool” idea! Looks like a great and useful appliance to have with the warm weather coming. Great post!
Ozeri has always fun products – how cool is that it also has a remote!
