More of a rec than a bedside table check. My current apartment has good A/C but when I lived in Cambridge, I had a big room on the top floor of a 170 year old house that had A/C but it didn’t work super well, I had no door to my room and all the heat rose to the top of the house to my room so the summer 85 degree Massachusetts nights would be 10 degrees warmer in my room. Putting this fan on my bedside table and aiming it at me while I slept kept me sane in this room for the 4 summers I lived there.
