My husband is a big fan of this fan - he loves it so much, he bought two. He's a truck driver and uses this fan during his breaks instead of running the truck to save fuel. It's powered by six D batteries (not included), but it's worth it because it can run for months. It's portable and versatile, so you can use it anywhere. We found it much more affordable on this seller compared to Dick's Sporting Goods. We'll probably buy more when summer comes. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed. And just to be clear, I'm not being paid for this review.

This fan seems perfect for camping, but I bought it as a backup in case of a power outage. I've experienced the discomfort of being without air conditioning during extreme heat, so I used my Jackery power station to run a fan and keep the room cool. It was a lifesaver, especially for my wife who has thyroid issues. The Jackery power station was quite pricey, but it's worth it for the peace of mind. I even found that it can be used as a mini swamp cooler with a squeeze bottle fogger. I plan to keep a second one in the car for summer motel stays. It's always a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected.

I purchased this fan two months ago at our local Ace Hardware in preparation for potential power outages. I was so happy with it that I bought four more from the seller, as the hardware store was out of stock. I used it in conjunction with wet washcloths to stay cool and sleep when the interior temperature of our house was over 100 degrees. It has a small thin profile, is light, and powerful. I keep at least one on the dining table and one on the bedside table. It can be used plugged in or with batteries, making it versatile for power outages. The fan is quiet and durable, withstanding being pulled off the desk without damage. The only issue I had was a slight rattle in one of the fans. Overall, I am very happy with this fan and highly recommend it.

Our family visited New York in July 2019 and found that the AC in my grandfather's car was broken on a hot day. We ordered two portable fans for $16.99 and they arrived quickly. The fans worked well, had accurate descriptions, and were good quality. They made our trip much more comfortable, and I highly recommend them.

The plastic fan I purchased was cheap and difficult to assemble. I struggled with the tiny screw holding the battery cover and had trouble fitting the batteries in the compartment. After finally getting it to work, I found it suitable for use in my air conditioned home and potentially during power outages. However, I later purchased a similar fan from Bed, Bath & Beyond that was sturdier, had an on/off switch, and was easier to use. The second fan was also cheaper, making it a better option. Overall, I would give the original fan a 3-star rating, and the new fan a 5-star rating.

The fan is suitable for occasional use, such as during camping trips or power outages, but should not be used continuously for long periods of time. The motor is not designed for constant daily use and may wear out if used excessively. It is not as powerful as larger fans, but it is efficient and has a long run time when used with the appropriate batteries. Overall, it serves its purpose for personal cooling but should not be relied on for continuous, daily use.

It is surprisingly big and noisy, but it does provide good ventilation.

The fan is just the right size, but even with fresh batteries, it lacks strong power. However, it is effective for managing mild hot flashes.
