Battery Powered Fan (most powerful battery fan on the market)

Customer Rating:
Summary: Loud, heavy, and cumbersome
Comment: 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.

Summary: Not a fan of this one!
Comment: 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.

Summary: save your money
Comment: 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.

Summary: Save Your Money!
Comment: Don't waste your money on this fan, even if they were giving it away for free! You can wave your hand and get a bette breeze then you get from this fan. I read the review and bought two. You get what you pay for. A tissue doesn't move if you put it about 3 feet away from the fan at high speed.

Summary: Way too Big
Comment: I was surprised to see how big this fan was and it took 8 "D" Batterys.
I returned it and found a much smaller version with 2 speeds and only takes 2 "D" batterys. I was loking for a fan for my desk at work.
