Deals on Fans for the Desk or Wherever

Summer may be winding down, but now may be the perfect time to buy a desktop fan for your home or office; there are great deals to be had on a wide variety of fans on Office-Supplies.us.com, and we'll show you some of the best right here so you can have one ready for the rest of this summer and those to come!

If you're thinking that there is no difference between two particular fans and that as long as you have one you're covered, you may want to think again. There are lots of features and attributes about a better fan that you might be interested in and enjoy. For instance, the ability to control a fan with a remote control, have several speed settings, a fan that makes less noise, or even one with built-in air filter. Check out some of these options from Office-Supplies.us.com and think about if any of these things would be nice for you to have.

The Holmes Group Blizzard Remote Control Power Fan is a great desktop fan with a sleek black design, rubber grip, and 12" blade span, and oscillation functionality. Rather than have the entire fan oscillate though, only the inner fan apparatus swings back and forth, spreading cool air over a small area like a desk or reading chair. Its speeds and time can be controlled via the included remote, and it goes for only $57.20, a great bargain if you're looking for a nice fan that will last you a long time.

Even if you're not looking for a desktop fan, you can still save space with the popular design of the Atlantic Breeze 3-Speed Oscillating Tower Fan. This cylinder-style fan has three speeds, can be controlled by remote and oscillates in a 60 degree radius. It can also be put on a timer of up to 8 hours so if you forget to turn it off you will save energy.

There are still more options if you're not interested in remotes, timers, and the like: you can get the popular Atlantic Breeze Personal Clip-On Fan, a great buy at only $11.88, with a 6" blade span, adjustable tilt head, and two speed options. This is the perfect fan for a small desk, cubicle, or workstation, so check it out and pick one up today.

These are only three of the many choices we carry at Office-Supplies.us.com, so if you've found yourself sweating this summer, it's not too late to check out all of our fans and pick one up now!

Multifunction Printers for Back to School

Perhaps one of the most important and useful back to school buys for a student this year could be a multi-function printer that will take care of printing, scanning, and copying - everything they might need in order to produce great looking school assignments, presentations, and more. Given that there are a lot of choices, we thought we'd point you in the right direction in terms of what you should be looking for in terms of a capable and affordable printer for school, as well as give some specific recommendations.

First thing’s first: decide what kind of printer you want to get. For school-bound people, whether kindergarten or college aged, our recommendation would be to go with an inkjet printer due to their low cost and the fact that you can get very nice color printing in addition to scanning and copying, whereas a laser printer that can do the same would be very expensive. You can view all of the multifunction printers we have at Office-Supplies.us.com and compare. We have great models by trusted manufacturers like Samsung, Sharp, Brother, HP, Canon, and more.
While many multifunction printers geared towards businesses, you can certainly find one that would work great for students, like the HP Deskjet F4280, a multifunction inkjet printer with 16MB of memory, a flatbed scanner, and 26 pages per minute (black and white) / 20 pages per minute (color). At 1200x2400 dpi, it can handle photo printing (and, of course, scanning), and anything your child can throw at it in terms of workload. The ink cartridges are quite affordable on these printers so they make the perfect workhorse printer for school.

Catalog & Computer Cases

Anyone who has traveled to a trade show conference can tell you that it can be a big hassle having to carry around catalogs, collateral, and other marketing materials, especially in a backpack or briefcase.

We have a huge selection of catalog and computer cases that are perfect for trade show trips, for carrying flyers, handouts, business cards, and all kinds of materials for presentations and marketing efforts.

Depending on what style you're looking for, were sure to have something that will work. We have catalog cases in black leather, vinyl - some with protective plastic that lets them stand up well to the test of time and baggage handlers. They also come in varying sizes to accommodate whatever it is you need to take with you, be it a computer, projector, or just some of the handout and presentation materials already mentioned.

Mini / Compact Refrigerators

Compact refrigerators, referred to by many as "mini fridges" are a convenient way to keep cold food and beverages in any room and save the time and hassle of going to a larger refrigerator in the house, or, in the case of many offices, not be able to keep anything cold at all. Many office employees resort to making a trip to a gas station or fast food establishment in order to get cold drinks and lunch because their employers do not have a refrigerator on hand to keep things cold and fresh throughout the day. Buying a compact fridge is one of the best ways around this problem, and luckily, with the great deals at Office-Supplies.us.com, it's an affordable one.

Office-Supplies.us.com has several compact refrigerator models available for you to choose from - all from a trusted name: Sanyo. We have mini fridges in varying sizes and capacities, from small cube refrigerator with a total capacity of 1.7 cubic ft. and an approximately 18" by 17" reversible door, to a larger counter high refrigerator with 3.6 cubic ft of space, manual defrost, and three convenient shelves inside. Some models even come with a small freezer compartment, shelf space on the inside of the door, leveling legs in case you need to fit it into an uneven space, and other features that make them convenient and reliable. More than anything though, they are, as said above, a great way to start keeping water, soft drinks, energy drinks, and food items for lunches and snacks close to your desk, so you can avoid having to eat warm or stale food, and possibly even guard against the dreaded office food thief.

As always, you get free shipping on orders over $75 with Office-Supplies.us.com, and all of our compact refrigerators qualify for that savings. So if you're tired of having to run across the office to get your food and drinks, or worse yet, run across the street to get cold drinks and fresh food, check out our refrigerators and see if one fits your space and budget.

Electric Hole Punches

If you're producing your own documents, manuals, or reports, whether at the workplace or from a home office, one of the things that is most useful to have around is an electric hole punch.

Have you ever tried to use a traditional hole punch on a stack of paper more than 10 or 20 sheets thick? It can be quite aggravating to have some of the papers get punched and others not, requiring a second round of punching for those that were missed. Even worse is when some get half punched and tearing off the hanging pieces leaves the edges frayed or ripped. Perhaps it's not quite so bad most of the time, but certainly being able to slide the papers in and have them be automatically and powerfully punched is certainly preferable to the struggle just described.

If you want to forgo that hassle, you can do so with one of the electric hole punches from Office-Supplies.us.com. We carry a variety of hole punches from trusted manufacturers like Sparco, Acco, Martin Yale, and Swingline. Many are two or three-hold adjustable, can handle up to 30 sheets of 20lb paper. They'll save you time, aggravation, and hundreds of ill-punched catastrophes, more than making up for the increased cost over a conventional hole punch.

As an example, check out this Three-Hole Desktop Punch from Martin Yale Industries. It's got a sleep black finish that fits elegantly with any desk and office decor, has three punch heads, and is capable of handling up to 10 sheet of 20lb paper at once. It's fast and convenient and works consistently without jamming. Punching is as simple as pressing the button on top, and is't 9/32" holes make for easy page turning once the papers are put into a ring binder for storage or perusal. At only $44.49 it's a perfect solution for simple desktop hole punching.

So check out the selection of electronic hole punches we have to offer, and let us know if you have any questions or trouble finding what you're looking for. We'll be happy to help, and as always, you'll get a great deal.
