Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

This fan is so convenient. Perfect size. Rechargeable and portable. I use it everyday!

The clip is so strong & holds so well. There really isn’t a good spot on my treadmill so I tried the grip & it’s definitely almost all the way extended & it’s still holding. Even with the movement from walking or running. Very impressed. I also used it outside to tan & I clipped it on another round pole & it hangs on great! No slipping or falling off. The speed options are awesome, I usually just use it on the lowest & it’s plenty but the option of like so much more power is just impressive. I love that the battery is rechargeable, I thought it was going to be like regular batteries but nope, it recharges with a usb. I am just blown away. I thought I was buying a cheap little fan & this ended up blowing (ha ha) my expectations out of the water.

Wanted a little fan just to move some air around as I usually eat my lunch in my vehicle. It did work, but was kind of annoying at higher fan speeds and the battery compartment cover promptly fell off and got lost. I eventually replaced it with a larger fan that pushes more air almost silently. I did recently use it during the CA blackouts just to blow a little air while trying to sleep. Little air movement is much better than hot dead air. Lasted most of the night. I was happy to have it. Think it would be good to clip on work desk just to have a little airflow. Too noisy and small to move more air than a very slight breeze without being annoying.

I bought this fan for my sons carseat. My car gets really hot, so I needed a fan that could quickly cool him down and provide continual airflow. This fan can put out a lot of air and it also has an adjustable knob so you can choose the setting. It is also lightweight and clips onto his carseat easily. The slats are also not wide enough for him to fit his fingers in between, he tried lol, which is a plus. The battery probably lasts around 2-3 days using it no more than an hour or 2 every day. Its also easy to recharge- from an outlet or in your car. Sometimes if I dont think it will last, I just bring the charger with me and can easily charge it in the car if needed. Its also not very loud, it just makes a low humming sound. This fan is great if you are looking for a small personal fan that puts out a lot of air.

So far, so good. Only real issue is that the back cover for the battery fell off and won’t stay on. Not a huge deal for me but something to note. Fits on my Peloton and works well and I like that I can move it when I move to the mat to continue exercising or stretching. Overall happy with the fan.

I have purchased many battery operated fans. This is far and away the BEST product in the bunch. I live in an entirely 12 volt, solar bus conversion. I need these fans to circulate heat down from the ceiling and away from my heating source. They clip on and stay put. I clip them into the bus hatch and they serve as a ceiling fan. Also, they rotate fully in every imaginable position. No rotating fan Ive bought does this. They come with a rechargeable lithium ion battery! So no more purchasing triple As or cycling through rechargeables that generally have to be recharged with 110. Now, you can easily recharge these with standard 110 just like you do your phone but I only have 12 volt. Get THIS, the fan has speed control! Turn the dial on and the more you turn it up, the higher the speed. On the lowest setting, the fans will run for approximately 10 to 12 hours on a charge. So for me, they will run through the night keeping the warm air circulating while I sleep. In the morning, I recharge them. One drawback, the little red LED that says its charging doesnt turn green for instance to let you know it is charged so you have to guess. I charged them for 5 or 6 hours and they were ready to go again. There was no visible drop on my solar battery voltage after charging them. 13.7 volts at start and finish so they must not use much power to charge (I have 3 of them). Im buying 3 more so I can have a set running and a set charging. Im so flipping happy.

Smaller than I expected. Doesn’t move a lot of air, but I guess it works ok for price.

This is how it arrived. No visible damage, but one of the side caps for the clip was detached. Meaning it most likely will detach sooner than later. Also, the center cap for the fan itself is missing. I looked inside the bag and the box... nowhere to be found. Will be updating this review in a couple of weeks/months after I have put some hours of use on it.

I LOVE this fan! Like you, I was skeptical something this small could be such a powerhouse. It keeps things cool in the day and honestly it gets things a little chilly at night on low setting, so thats really dope. The clip is even wide enough for me to attach to the car handle. I wish it was a little softer on high, but its high so theres only so loud/soft it can be. My baby and I sleep sleep through it with no issue. UPDATE: I purchased this November 2019 and its now March 2020. I took one star off because when I turn it horizontally, it moves out of position, as if some part of it got loose. I cant seem to figure it out. I guess at least vertically works, but its very inconvenient for me because I use it daily. Its still a little loud on low, but it doesnt bother me anymore. Its kind of nice having the white noise. Its still giving a strong breeze and I find the battery actually lasts longer than they say.

Update: this fan died after very little use. The problem is, no matter which USB mini cable I try (I have 5 or 6), contact is made only very briefly where the cable enters the fan, only for a fraction of a second. In this state it is unusable. I went to great research expense and cost ($21.17) to order the correct replacement batteries (4 pack) from China and now I have no use for them. Original: Battery is labeled 18650 but that part number comes in many different dimensions/sizes. Actual battery part number might be 18J, 1865 or 168A. Just be certain of the dimensions and voltage: 3.7 volts, 65mm long x 15mm diameter. The mAh can be anything. mAh signifies the rating of how much electricity it can hold making the fan run longer between charges. So 3600mAh is better than 2600mAh but 3600mAh takes longer to fully charge. I like this fan but the battery died after just a few months. Although it is easy to open the compartment to remove and replace the battery it is near impossible to find the correct size battery. Some battery sellers list the dimensions but many do not. Its best to go to Amazons Customer questions & answers to find the dimensions because somebody has likely already asked the question. Again, the dimensions of this 3.7v battery are 65mm long x 15mm diameter. I think I finally found one after an hour+ of searching Amazon and calling retail battery stores. I bought another inferior fan from Amazon but the battery is not replaceable so I will return that one. Good luck.
