I purchased the fan due to frequent power outages at work and the need for a portable fan to keep cool. When we had another power outage, I used the fan for three hours and it did a good job of keeping me cool. It is small, compact, and quiet. The only issue I had was with installing the batteries, as the instructions were not very clear. Despite this, the fan has been very useful and I highly recommend it.

I purchased this fan for my office, as it tends to get hot during this time of year. It is a budget-friendly option compared to many other desk fans, but you really do get what you pay for. The fan can be powered through a plug-in or D batteries, but I have only used it with the plug-in so far. I am not sure how long it will last with batteries. It offers two airflow modes, high and low. On high mode, it provides cooling for about a foot away, but it is quite loud, so I cannot use it during meetings or phone calls. However, for personal use or during sleep, the noise level should be tolerable unless you have sensitive hearing. It does provide sufficient cooling if used on a desk or next to a bed, but if you are further away, you may not feel much air movement. Overall, the fan is quite loud and the cooling power is minimal. For the price, it is adequate, but if you are looking for a quieter and more effective option, it may be worth looking elsewhere.
