This is definitely a personal fan. It's angle is more for desk use but I use it in my bedroom on a table pointed toward the bed to allow for circulation of the air from a window. The only downside is that you can only angle it up or down, not side to side so there's no oscillation at all. I don't think that is what it was designed for though. It's meant for compact spaces so if you have a small space or area to aerate this is just what is needed!
