Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

This a great little fan for traveling, especially with pets/horses. I bought these for my horse trailer as we have had an exceptionally hot summer. I like the versatility of it, and adjustable fan speed. The battery only lasts a couple of hours on full speed so I swap out for the charged fan while the other fan charges.

I like the option of being able to use it with a plug-in and having a charged battery for when the power goes out, BUT, when the fan is plugged in, the fan speed control dial doesnt change the fans speed. So, it is at the slowest speed without any way to make it go faster while plugging in. But, when it is running on the battery the speed control dial works and you can adjust it from slow and gentle up to screaming like a banshee. But the biggest problem to me is that it is so damn impossible to clean the safety cages. The front one comes off with 3 screws, which is fine, but the gaps in the grills are so small that you basically need to detail it with a toothbrush. The blades dont come off, so you can clean the front, no problem, but the back of the blades are hard to get to without worrying if youre going to break one off. Then, theres the back of the safety cage. This one is made with the electrics housing built into it, which blocks airflow as well as your attempt to clean the grills. You cant run it under water to clean it, so its always at least a little dirty unless youre REALLY, unreasonably thorough. Im not a fan of this fan.

This fan comes with a INR 18650E battery, but also requires a USB charge for the battery. I also charged this fan 24 hours to stay cool at work. After 3 hours this fan also cut off, with a dead battery. On a positive note, I love the clip which attaches to anything; it is lightweight, and on high as I use it, the air output is great. But, unfortunately, one can only enjoy the air for 3 hours when away from home, as the battery life is insufficient.

Using this to clip on outside little screened window on chicken hen house. Powered off 24/7 usb plug to keep air moving inside and on them at night. Hardly uses battery but should power fail they will have it running at least a few hours. Gets dirty constantly I just hose it off let it dry and plug it back in keeps on going! First one lasted a year in this condition which IMO is pretty good for the cost.

I used this fan during a hot summer in Virginia with 90 degrees + and 100% humidity with my then-3 month old son and it was a lifesaver to keep him cool. It clipped to the handle of the Graco Snugride Snuglock carseat while traveling in the car or stroller system. The USB charging cable attached to both my apple phone adapter and my car charging port for on the go charges. Prior to buying this fan I bought the FlePow which I returned due to awful battery life. This fan doesnt have the longest life but it was longer than the other product. The downside of this fan compared to the first was that it takes two batteries instead of 1, making the fan heavier. Also, the wheel to adjust the power of the fan is small and located in the back, which you have to feel around to find. I preferred the FlePow knob located in the front of the fan. The fan operates quietly and is quite strong and it did what I needed it to do. It was compact enough to fit easily into my diaper bag so that it didnt fry in the hot car.

I MAINLY BOUGHT THIS LITTLE BATTERY OPERATED FAN FOR USE IN MY TRAVEL TRAILER WHEN I DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO U.S. 120V ELECTRICITY. IT IS SOLELY POWERED BY AN INTERNAL 5V BATTERY WHICH CAN BE RECHARGED FROM ANY USB PORT. I LIKE THE FAN A LOT BECAUSE IT IS COMPACT, CAN BE CLIPPED ONTO ALMOST ANYTHING, OR JUST PLACED FLAT ON ANY HORIZONTAL SURFACE. IT HAS A VARIABLE SPEED SETTING—NICE BECAUSE ON LOW SPEED IT CAN BE POSITIONED CLOSE TO A PERSON TO INCREASE INDIVIDUAL COMFORT. ON HIGH SPEED IT CAN MOVE A SURPRISINGLY LARGE VOLUME OF AIR. THE SMALL SEATING AREA OF MY TRAILER BECOMES MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WHEN I SET UP THIS LITTLE GUY TO CIRCULATE AIR OVER THE GENERAL AREA. IT CAN ALSO OF COURSE BE USED WITH EQUAL EFFECTIVENESS OUTDOORS. I ALSO LIKE TO USE THE FAN IN AND AROUND MY RESIDENCE. IT’S NICE TO USE FOR INCREASED PERSONAL COMFORT. A FAN THIS SIZE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO MOVE LARGE VOLUMES OF AIR, BUT IN TERMS OF IMPROVING COMFORT WHILE CAMPING, OR AT THE BEACH OR SOMEWHERE THERE’S NO ACCESS TO AC POWER I THINK ONE WILL FIND THIS FAN A VERY HANDY THING TO HAVE AT HAND.
