Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Battery Powered Fan (most powerful battery fan on the market)
Customer Review: Nice Fan
Summary: 4 Stars
After spending two miserable nights without power after Hurricane Gustav, we were watching Hurricane Ike head our way. I ordered this battery powered fan and received it in only 5 days. Ike hit a bit to our west, so we never lost power, but I will have the fan for next hurricane season. I am currently using it with its a/c power adapater and am very pleased with the fan. It is cool and light weight and easy to move around. Customer Review: Great for hurricane season
Summary: 4 Stars
Worked well for me. Eight batteries is a pretty large electricity diet, but should come in handy next hurricane season running from the generator. Whirs kind of loudly but becomes quickly ignored.Customer Review: Loud, heavy, and cumbersome
Summary: 1 Stars
This fan looks cute and compact, but it is large (10" x 10"), noisy, and cumbersome. Unfortunately, the description did not give dimensions and the picture looks like it is a small fan. It takes five (5) "D" batteries to operate it, which makes it heavy. It does not fit in my backpack like another O2-Cool fan (5" x 5") does that operates on only two (2) "D" batteries. Anyway, I had to send it back...completely dissatisfied.Customer Review: Not a fan of this one!
Summary: 1 Stars
The fan moves a good amount of air, but the battery compartment design and hinges are incredibly bad. Batteries won't fit without major effort to force them into the slots, power from batteries is lost every time the hinge is moved, and hinges are both fragile feeling and stiff to move. After 6 months, the plastic that the battery holders are made of is deforming so that the batteries are loose and no longer make contact. Good idea, but incredibly bad engineering makes this a loser! Works OK as a 120v fan with the adapter, but if you want a small wall-voltage fan, there are several lighter, cheaper, and quieter fans on the market.Customer Review: save your money
Summary: 1 Stars
the hinges broke the second time I opened it.
Then, there was some kind of short in the circuitry. The fan ran for two second, shut off and never ran again.
Cheap plastic parts and cheap construction make it hard to pack 8 heavy D batteries inside of it. Don't waste your time or money.
