Fly Fans for Tables, Practical Fly Repellent Fan with Soft Blades, USB or Batteries Powered, Soundless and Portable Fly Fan Keeps Your Food Clean(3 Pack)

I thought that I might want something like this to be rechargeable, but then I realized that I would rather use rechargeable batteries. That way I could instantly get the fan to work when I want it to, and could recharge some AA batteries while using the fan, only to be recirculated once again - which would enable me to use these fans for long periods of time. Additionally, if I needed then quickly, taking them out of storage, they can work without me needing to charge them. With regard to the USB power supply, the port is recessed with little room for thicker connectors. This prohibits good connection for most of the cords that I have (which really are not that thick). Additionally, I do not want to use the fans having USB cords running all around the table, being susceptible to getting spilled on to, or creating an uneven surface and limiting a stable and flat area to put liquids. None the less, these are a worthwhile addition to the outdoor table to decrease the influx of flying insects landing on the food.

We have a couple versions of this product and I can tell you that they are very handy especially when having an outdoor picnic or while eating in the back yard. The foil blades give off shards of light as it spins creating a definite barrier between your food and the blades. It won’t completely stop flies but it certainly deters them.
