The battery compartment was difficult to close, but I managed to get it closed and everything worked well.

The fan is of good quality, but it would be more convenient if the case closed without needing a mechanic when using the 6 D batteries (not included).

I purchased this fan as a second option for my living room window, as I already have one in my bedroom that has worked well for three years. It is small and easy to move, yet still powerful. I appreciate that it can also be operated with batteries, making it perfect for hot nights when the power goes out.

I bought two of these for a cruise, thinking the airflow and noise would help us sleep. The airflow is okay, but it is quieter than expected. They were easy to pack and travel with. However, the batteries drained very quickly, and they didn't last the whole 9 days when used only at night.

I purchased this fan for the second time and noticed that the price has doubled. However, I find it to be a great fan despite the fact that it is not very quiet. If you don't mind a bit of white noise, it won't bother you. I also noticed that they have changed the design of the battery compartment, making it easier to access without needing a screwdriver. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase.

I purchased two of these fans to use with my hurricane oil lamps to help distribute the heat they generate. However, when they arrived, they did not run with good quality batteries. I found that the batteries were too loose in the compartment and not making contact. I solved the problem by inserting a 2.5 inch piece of aluminum foil between the two batteries to create better contact. Now both fans work well and are quiet while moving a fair amount of air for their size.

During the hot summer with the constant threat of power outages, I decided to buy a couple of fans for emergencies. Thankfully, we didn't lose power, but I was able to test the fans and found that the rechargeable one was not very effective, while the FanFair 10 was fantastic. It made a big difference in my office and is powerful yet quiet. I also bought batteries just in case and I'm so happy with this fan that I'm going to order more.

I purchased this portable and lightweight personal size fan after experiencing a power outage in the middle of a heat wave last week. My usual fans and AC were not effective at all during the 110* heat. I am grateful for this fan, although it is small at 5 and only cools one person. I initially wanted a pink or blue color, but opted for a quicker shipping option due to concerns about potential rolling outages. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.
