I bought two 12-inch GeekAire portable fans (model: CF1SE) for indoor use (i.e., part of my hurricane supplies in case of power outage). The portability, fast recharging capability, silence, and ease of use of this model are all great, hence my five stars for the review. The battery duration is also good (about 11 hours next to my bed at mid-speed), but not outstanding. I wish that the manufacturer would increase the battery power (12000 mAh) so that the charge would last longer at a faster speed. The CF1 model offers a 15000 mAh battery, but the unit is $25 more expensive (the CF1SE model is not that cheap in the first place). I am not sure that the additional power would be worthy the additional cost. A more powerful battery would also mean longer recharging time, but I think that a 5-hour recharge time in return for 20000 mAh would still be a good trade-off to consider. I would also have liked the rotary switch to have markers in COLOR so that I could easily set up the fan for optimal speed in relation to duration. See photo--I taped a little mark. Obviously, these comments are more like suggestions for improvement to the manufacturer. Despite these minor weaknesses, I will keep the units, see how the fans perform over the years, and recommend this model to prospective buyers.

I bought this fan 2 summers ago. I only use it during the summer when the temp get too high. I was using this fan for the first time this summer and within a couple of hours I could smell plastic burning. I’m so glad I was by the fan because next thing I knew it was sparking and bellowing smoke. Idk if it got over heated or gf faulty wiring, but I feel like this product should’ve lasted longer than 2 summers of occasional usage.

I had time to use this fan. I must say I love it. I have a remote, glass enclosed, gazebo in my back yard. A little bit away from my house. I do have windows that I can open up on three sides to get air. It is a bit hot in the summer but is a great 3 season gazebo. So for the summer I got this fan. I charge it up and it last a good point of the day. Its is great because I do not have electricity going to the gazebo. Once charged, it is wireless. It is a strong unit and it helps keeping my gazebo cool in the summer months. I recommend this if you go camping. I think it would be good if you can get a car charge option. Im not saying it is waterproof. Is good for a sheltered area. It can go anywhere otherwise.

I was so thankful to have this fan during Hurricane Ian and we lost power. It kept the air in the room circulating while the storm raged. We had it fully charged and it kept us cool until we were able to get the generator running. Very thankful for this fan.

It has helped me out in this hot Louisiana weather took it to my niece softball game and everyone there wanted one, is also good for in home when you need that fan anywhere without a plug.. It small but i will purchase the 16 in soon. Update year later fan is still blowing strong and I have also purchased another one, I have had many many people ask me where did I get this fan. Im telling you its a life saver we took it to the lake and it was awesome under our tent. BUY ONE!!!OR TWO......

We wanted to camp in July/August, but not being able to sleep is a deal breaker for me. This fan really helps remove the annoyance of trying to go to sleep hot and sweaty. We would fall asleep with it on and then turn in off during the night once the temperature dropped. The stated run times are accurate, and the fan is powerful. One thing I noticed (I also bought the same fan for a family member, and they said the same thing): when this fan is 100 percent charged, it seems to cycle up and down in power until it reaches a slightly lower level of charge. This goes away quickly, but is a minor annoyance. Also, we have a 10 by 10 tent, and since the fan doesnt rotate, you have to kind of position it carefully to hit everyone. I tried to charge this directly with a portable solar panel, and it didnt work for some reason. So I just charged it with my portable generator. This to me was the best set up for our long camping trip. Solar charged the generator, plugged in the fan to the generator. Then at night had ample electricity to charge any remaining devices. Very much recommended. Again, if you are like me, if you know you arent going to be able to sleep in the heat, you wont go camping. With this I dont worry.

This 16 inch fan is extremely quiet and versatile. It has impressive air flow at all speeds and the battery life is as advertised. It does charge quickly and is easy to operate. The fan comes fully assembled and charged so it is ready to use out of the box. We bought this to use outside which is convenient since there are no cords. It is well made. This is the second battery powered fan I have purchased and I would highly recommend this one, especially if you live is an area where storms can cause extended power outages. The run time allows you to sleep with nice air flow blowing on you, which in a hot humid climate is a must. After my satisfaction with the first fan I purchased from Greek Aire I had no problem buying this second one. They are a good company with great customer service.

I highly recommend buying this fan. It charges quickly and pumps out the air. I use it for camping as well as a gigging musician. While camping, If I keep it on medium, the fan last all night with is a game changer in humid conditions. This fan will last me a four hour gig on stage on the highest setting. Its easy to change positions with my foot while on stage. Keeps me cool while the rest of the band is soaked in sweat. I have owned this fan for four months. It stopped charging and I got in touch with customer service. They literally had a new fan on my doorstep in four days from my first email. Great customer service. Fan is nice and quite. Well made and put together.

I ordered this fan and it was weaker at top speed than I expected. Checked the box said 1000 CFM, which is different from the 1250 CFM thats listed for CF3 10 fans in multiples places on Amazon, Home Depots website, New Eggs website, and other places. I contacted customer support and eventually acquired this handy table with the actual correct specs on all Geek Aire fans. To be clear, I think these fans are great. Its just important to know these real numbers - for some, fan speed is a higher priority than battery life, etc. My interactions with customer support were mostly positive. Had to order a different fan because of the incorrect specs issue but the quality of the CF3 fan was great and Im looking forward to getting the CF1 soon.

Update: This sat in our RV for a year, getting to slightly below freezing in the winter to over 100° in the summer. It was not fully charged when we stored it, but I dont know what level it was. Today I pulled it out and it started putting out a breeze. I plugged it in, and it is over 60% charged, even after sitting for a year! More impressed now than when we first bought it! It works great for moving air around the RV on hot nights when we dont have power. Its a game-changer for summer boondocking! We bought this for warm nights boondocking in our travel trailer or in our tent. When it arrived, it was about 60% charged. I plugged it in and waited for all lights to go off, indicating a full charge. I then set it on the lowest speed and let it run. 25 hours later, the red light began to blink, indicating it needed a charge! I had not expected that kind of battery life! Another 2 hours on the charger, and back to full charge again. Im excited to have a solution to move a little air when were away from electricity!
