Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

I bought this little thing to use in our 24 travel trailer that we keep on a site where were slowly building our new house. I had shopped for portable fans on many sites and chose this one and I dont even remember why I purchase this one - probably because it had the best reviews in its price tag. Most of the fans I looked at took D batteries, but not this one! I didnt recall reading that it was USB rechargeable, and that part works great. We only have 120v power when running a generator, so we rely on 12V, USB powered stuff for our trailer. We do have solar hooked up, so I could leave it plugged in to the one USB port in the trailer, but its really nice at home too so it travels back and forth. The clip is nice and big and clips on all sorts of spots to help circulate air in the trailer. PLUS it has this flat base in the design of the clip so you can set it on the table or counters or any flat surface! The variable speed is great. The head swivels in every direction - theres no limit to how you can direct the air. It runs while plugged into USB. That means at home I use it as my desk fan and when were up at our camper, I use it in the kitchen to help keep me cool. The price has gone up 25% since I bought it last week - at least for my account on Amazon. Im not sure I would have bought this at the current price.

Waste of money! I was so excited to get this for my baby! First one I ordered had the battery leaking out so they sent me a replacement. (I bought this fan for ball season so my baby didn’t get too hot) Got new one in and no leaking so I thought great! Charged it up, used it one time for an hour and the thing never turned on again. I recharged it (thinking possibly the battery doesn’t last but an hour) well even fully charged it doesn’t work. I’m so disappointed because now it’s past the turn date. I should of just got a refund when the first one I got was bad. Definitely not worth the $20 I spent on this (I notice now it’s even cheaper but still isn’t worth listing price).

Micro USB port broke after the first week of use. I havent had time to write a review, so just got around to it now. You have to mess around with the angle and positioning to get the cord to work. Pretty useless. The fan itself is pretty decently made and works good. My issue is specifically around the poor micro USB jack design. UPDATE 1: After contacting the company for a warranty request, theyre agreeing to replace the fan. I will update this review if/when I receive the new device and if it doesnt fail as well. UPDATE 2: The replacement came quickly. After testing the replacement for a few weeks now, I cash honestly say its working great and hopefully the first (micro USB charging issue) was just from premature wear or unexpected defect. This is why I prefer USB C anyway. Updated rating to 4 stars.

Update 3/1/20: Company finally got back to me and said they were at Spring Festival from Jan 22 - Feb 17 and couldn’t respond. They apologized profusely and said they wanted to make it right and offered to send me another fan or give me a refund. I opted for another fan since I loved it when it still worked and hopefully this new one will last longer than the previous one. I appreciate the company reaching out to make this right so I changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars. I will update again if it survives a year. I loved this fan when I first got it. I’m an RN and I get really hot running around so I needed something portable that I could move around with me. This worked great until it didn’t. Battery would no longer hold a charge after 4 months of use so I bought new batteries (which cost almost as much as the fan) and it still wouldn’t work so it’s a fan issue, not a battery issue. I was sent an email from the manufacturer when I originally bought the item asking me to let them know if there are any issues and that there is a warranty on the item, but did not say what the warranty terms are. I’ve reached out to them twice, but after 2 weeks, I have yet to hear back from them. I do not recommend this fan due to the extremely poor customer service. I will be looking for another fan elsewhere.

This fan is great! The battery life is better than I expected, and I was worried about it being a rechargeable battery. It has been so easy to plug in to our van or charge it at the front door so I dont forget to leave home without it. I live in hot and humid SC and this is a necessity with my now 4mo son! I have clipped this onto the stroller, the babys car seat handle, a lounge chair at the pool, and even clipped it onto one of the straps of my baby carrier while wearing my son at a baseball game. This fan is so adjustable and the clip is very strong. I also love that the fan has varying speeds. I also have a 2.5 yo daughter and she has not had a problem with it. I was afraid that she might try to stick her fingers inside and get hurt, so initially I thought about purchasing a foam blade fan, but this hasnt been a problem. The only con I have is I wish I had bought this sooner to use with my 2.5 yo. Seriously! We have a fan with the water mist and that works fine, it was almost the same price at target as this one is on Amazon, but it doesnt have all the great features of this fan.

Theyre pretty much isnt anything I dont like about this little fan. Its powerful for such a small thing. You can clip it or just set it on a surface. I use it in my daily Zoom meetings when I get warm. I use it in the kitchen when Im cooking and its hot. I keep it by the bedside in case I get a little hot flash. Ive given it as a gift to many women I know. If you have a need to be spot cooled down quickly... run dont walk to your cart.

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 bought a fan nearly identical to this one at Toys R Us and use it on a baby carrier. That Toys R Us fan is okay, but the motor is not very strong and does little to cool the baby during summer months. I also tried to use it to get breeze in a tent while camping, and it was worthless for that. So, when I saw the glowing reviews for this similar fan on Amazon, I thought I would give it a try, hoping that the motor would be more powerful. I was not disappointed. Holding the two fans side by side, the top speed of this Amazon fan is about twice that of the Toys R Us fan. This Amazon fan provides quite a bit of airflow for such a small device. I also love the fact that it can be recharged by USB. Our family has USB plugs everywhere, including the car. Its just so easy to plug this fan in for a few minutes to top off the charge. Finally, this Amazon fan is more flexible and can point in just about any direction. I was initially skeptical of this fan because virtually all of the glowing reviews (at that time, about 70% of them) were from people who had received a benefit for reviewing the product. I hate that practice and wish Amazon would shut it down. Ive been burned before by buying a product with glowing reviews only to find that the product stinks and the reviews were bogus. Why not let a good product speak for itself? Despite my skepticism, this fan basically lives it up to the hype. Its a little flimsy/lightweight, but it has a powerful, adjustable speed motor and convenient USB charging. Id recommend it. (And for the record, Im just a regular Amazon customer who paid full price for this thing based on the good reviews.)

I had been looking for a small fan to clip onto my desk, and this fits the bill quite well. Its a little louder than Id thought - definitely not loud, just not totally silent, which is fine. Its definitely quiet enough. It also comes with/runs off one of those 16650 batteries, so I thought that was a great design decision. Nice to see those, rather than internal battery packs which cant be easily replaced. Note that the unit will also charge the battery via usb, so once you pop the battery in you dont have to worry about it. You just also have the option of swapping in a battery if you want. No idea on run life yet; might update this later, but really I dont plan to unplug the thing now that Ive gotten it set up. The USB Cable is a little on the short side.. I think its around a meter, which is what I would expect to be included, just be aware. The one odd thing I noticed, and Im not sure if its just my unit or not.. The speed controller seems to only do anything when the fan is running on battery. This *could* be because current is being pulled to charge the battery, since these batteries ship with partial charge, so another potential review update if I notice a difference and get around to it would be if theres a difference between plugged-in run speed when fully charged or not. Another nice thing about this fan is its full-swivel. Since the motor and battery are mounted essentially on the motor, there are no internal limits to worry about when adjusting the angle of the fan. Again, could be a touch quieter, but Im only saying that because it doesnt have a completely silent mode - and basically no fans have that. All in all, this fan is very well designed, and I am quite pleased with it.

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.
