Bring a cool breeze to where you are going.
I HAD to review this after reading the only other review for this fan. I am certain I have reviewed this fan for Amazon before, but for some reason don't see it here. I use two of these fans to move air around in my 20x10 Swiss Gear tent while camping in Texas. It is made from plastic and like all other plastic products, it is breakable if you muscle your way to using it wrong, but usage is fairly straight forward. To open the leg, simply swing it down from the back of the fan on its hinge. Opening the battery compartment is fairly simple as well if you understand what lock, and unlock icons mean. The fan moves LOTS of air, and the ones I own have taken plenty of abuse being tossed into and out of the back of my truck for the last two years. My only complaint with them is the battery compartment cover is a little tough to get back on until you figure out exactly how it works, and on high it will suck an expensive set of D cell batteries down in 24 hours. If you use these a lot, I...
Great fan, good battery life, needs to spend 5 more minutes on the design floor
I bought this fan to keep my girlfriend and I cool during a camping trip this spring. We needed something portable yet powerful with enough battery life to buy us a few hours in the morning once the sun came up (as everyone knows, tents turn into ovens as soon as the first rays of sunlight appear).
This fan worked GREAT. The battery life works as advertised and it moves quite a bit of air without making too much of a ruckus. The stiff hinge allows you to point the fan wherever you want and holds it in position nice and solid like, and it folds up flat enough to stuff it into a backpack if needed. It does take a TON of batteries but again, they last a really long time. This fan kept us very cool and comfortable (Enough to sleep in a little too much, actually!)
The only problem (as my title suggests) is that the battery "lid" or cover is designed really poorly. It's a huge pain to lock and unlock the lid and you have to push pretty hard to get it into place...
Ultimate portable fan
I bought this fan a year ago when my elderly dog couldn't handle temperature in the house greater than 75 degrees. Either we ran the A/C all day just for him or we put a fan near his bed. I didn't want to run up my electric bill when it wasn't really that hot so I decided to try a fan. He liked it but whenever he went to a different room in the house I had to unplug and plug the fan each time. That got annoying real quick so I went out to buy a battery powered fan, something grab n' go. Turns out there aren't any except this one, not that I was able to locate. Batteries can be expensive but nothing compared to running the A/C. I put it near his bed and turned it on low. This fan ran for hours every day without a problem. I loved that it was convenient for me and made him comfortable. It got us through the summer and then I packed it away. It's back out again working as well as ever even though our dog is no longer around to enjoy it (he passed away last month at 18 yrs...
