Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

Battery life sux ( luckily I have a few 18650 ). The mirco usb plug is no longer working. Did not stand the test of time ( because very loose after a month ). Look else where !!! Should have been a 1 star but gave it a 2 star because at least at full charge it moves a decent amount of air.

It lasted nearly three years before it took a dump. Never had any complaints about it.

UPDATE: immediately after I wrote my original review (see below), the seller contacted me and made arrangements to replace this fan with a different model. So this revised review will talk about both this fan, the Sky Genius Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, and the slightly larger, but just as excellent

Battery life not the greatest.

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.

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).

Este abanico resulta tener el tamaño perfecto para usar en un escritorio, ya que no ocupa mucho espacio, y la potencia perfecta para librarte del calor cuando el aire acondicionado no está funcionando. La carga en la batería es un poco más corta que la descrita en la página de venta.

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.

This is a great portable fan for the price. I got it for my son to use on the stroller in the hot months and it worked great. You can rotate it literally any direction, so I got to enjoy it too when he would run around. Now that it’s cold I use it in our bedroom in place of our larger fan since we have a newborn in there too. My issue with using it for long periods of time inside is the battery/ power level. When it’s charging it will only work on low, and when it’s not charging and on a higher level, it won’t last through the night. The low is pretty quiet as well, which could be a positive for some people, but I use a fan for the noise just as much as air circulation. I should also say this is my second fan from this company. The one I bought originally broke after about four months. The charging port just fell into the fan so it was basically useless. The company was AMAZING to work with though, and within a few days I had a new fan sent out to me. All in all, I highly recommend this fan and company.

This fan comes with a INR 18650E battery, but also requires a USB charge for the battery. I also charged this fan 24 hours to stay cool at work. After 3 hours this fan also cut off, with a dead battery. On a positive note, I love the clip which attaches to anything; it is lightweight, and on high as I use it, the air output is great. But, unfortunately, one can only enjoy the air for 3 hours when away from home, as the battery life is insufficient.
