Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

Update: this fan died after very little use. The problem is, no matter which USB mini cable I try (I have 5 or 6), contact is made only very briefly where the cable enters the fan, only for a fraction of a second. In this state it is unusable. I went to great research expense and cost ($21.17) to order the correct replacement batteries (4 pack) from China and now I have no use for them. Original: Battery is labeled 18650 but that part number comes in many different dimensions/sizes. Actual battery part number might be 18J, 1865 or 168A. Just be certain of the dimensions and voltage: 3.7 volts, 65mm long x 15mm diameter. The mAh can be anything. mAh signifies the rating of how much electricity it can hold making the fan run longer between charges. So 3600mAh is better than 2600mAh but 3600mAh takes longer to fully charge. I like this fan but the battery died after just a few months. Although it is easy to open the compartment to remove and replace the battery it is near impossible to find the correct size battery. Some battery sellers list the dimensions but many do not. Its best to go to Amazons Customer questions & answers to find the dimensions because somebody has likely already asked the question. Again, the dimensions of this 3.7v battery are 65mm long x 15mm diameter. I think I finally found one after an hour+ of searching Amazon and calling retail battery stores. I bought another inferior fan from Amazon but the battery is not replaceable so I will return that one. Good luck.

We used two of these fans for our twin babies at the zoo to keep them cool. We ran them on the lowest setting for four hours or more. They ran great and did a great job providing enough of a breeze to keep the babies cool and kept the mosquitos off of them too. We then used them for a couple of outings to keep the bugs off, also on the lowest setting before we had to charge them. So we probably ran them for about six hours on the lowest setting which is true to other reviews and the product description. The lowest setting produced a low hum that was audible but not obnoxious. At higher settings it was more obvious but all fans make some kind of noise so I wasn’t surprised. It’s obviously as portable as it can be, we were pleased with it. I only give things 5 stars if they go above and beyond my expectations. This fan does a great job for what a portable fan needs to do with a seemingly decent battery life. I haven’t really used it much beyond about 6 hours of use so I can’t vouch for its longevity or the battery’s longevity. But at least you can get extra batteries off amazon!

I wanted a small, seemingly durable fan, which was battery powered and able to be mounted in various positions to help circulate the air in my tractor cab to keep the windows free of any moisture during certain weather conditions. This fan has met those requirements. The cab has its own heat and air circulation system, but the air is limited to blowing out of vents which are mounted in the cabs ceiling liner and face the windshield and side windows. This fan is intended to circulate the air across the rear cab window and it is doing what I wanted. This fan is small, I have attached a picture of me holding the fan in my hand to give you an idea of the size. The spring clip for mounting the fan seems to be well made and does hold the fan where I have placed it. I have also attached a picture of the fan in the tractor cab, circulating air behind the operator, which is exactly what I wanted the fan to do. Its easy to recharge, the battery life seems as described and overall, I am pleased with the fan and its function. For me, the whole point is to move air and thats what this fan does. Its a handy, small fan that I could see being used in a variety of ways. For the price, its hard to beat and I like I dont have to have the fan hooked to a 12 volt outlet when in use, which gives the fan much broader application and function for me. Its done what I wanted thus far. If you are looking for a fan which blows enough air to dry your hair, you might not be happy with this as its air movement is limited based upon its size, which is to be expected. I am also pleased the fan articulates in a variety of positions so its usefulness seems assured. Dont know what else to say. Its a fan like described, moves the air, runs on battery power, has a mounting clamp which seems well made and holds the fan in the positions where I use it. As long as you are realistic about this fans output, which seems in line with its size and battery power, I would think most who purchase this would be satisfied. I know I am............

I used this fan during a hot summer in Virginia with 90 degrees + and 100% humidity with my then-3 month old son and it was a lifesaver to keep him cool. It clipped to the handle of the Graco Snugride Snuglock carseat while traveling in the car or stroller system. The USB charging cable attached to both my apple phone adapter and my car charging port for on the go charges. Prior to buying this fan I bought the FlePow which I returned due to awful battery life. This fan doesnt have the longest life but it was longer than the other product. The downside of this fan compared to the first was that it takes two batteries instead of 1, making the fan heavier. Also, the wheel to adjust the power of the fan is small and located in the back, which you have to feel around to find. I preferred the FlePow knob located in the front of the fan. The fan operates quietly and is quite strong and it did what I needed it to do. It was compact enough to fit easily into my diaper bag so that it didnt fry in the hot car.

I got this fan to use on a stroller since it gets quite hot in Texas. I didnt expect it to be much but boy i was surprised. Its very efficient, quiet and portable. I was worried how Ill attach it to the stroller or anywhere but the clip is easy to clip on and has a really good range so it can clip onto something as thin as the shade or as thick as the frame. Plus you can rotate it and adjust it basically 360*. I also used it in the car the other day as the baby was overheating (which im dreading the summer if hes already burning up during winter) and i clipped it into the little stick part of head support of the middle seat in the back and set it so it blew towards the car seat but not in his face and he stopped crying right away. Before he was screaming coz he was hot and no matter how high my AC was. Then I had him outside on the porch and just set it on the floor and adjusted it and again it worked wonderfully. So far Ive been using it for few weeks and am very happy with the purchase. Weve used it quite a bit and didnt need to recharge the battery so far.

Its its a great little fan. I bought it to use in my hammock during the summer, I take the clip off and just use the Bale hang it on the Ridgeline. the switch for the speed doesnt work but the speed that does come on with its plenty to blow the air inside hammock. super lightweight but like I said you cant buy replacement battery off Amazon for it so bummer, but you can use a separate battery bank and the plug and use it that way so for the price and what I wanted in the size and everything it works perfect for what I need it for.

This is a great fan for the price. Love that there is a sliding switch to change the speed of the fan. The clamp clip is sturdy as well as the hanging clip a nice addition. Also being able to use the fan while it’s charging is a huge plus. Only flaw is the cord that came with it seems cheep and bends easily.

I purchased this fan because I work in a very large facility in printing. We have hot humid air in that plant year-round, so I was looking for something I could bring with me regardless of where I had to work within the facility. It arrived in a nice box that was illustrated with pictures of the fan and good feel to it. I opened it and was pleased with how everything was packaged, and had no problem getting everything together and ready for a charge. I charged the battery that came with it over night while I slept, so easily 7-8 hours for the initial charge, and this seemed to do the trick. When I finally tested it out I was decently pleased with what I was getting for air flow for what was actually powering it. With a full battery or plugged in off 120 ac it seemed to oscillate about the same. I am not sure how long the battery lasts, but I would guess like everyone else who has purchased one who2 reviews helped me make them last 3-5 hours between charges. As long as you are the only one you are trying to throw a breeze at, and if you do not have access to a larger plugged fan, I would recommend this fan. I chose this one because of the positive reviews and the price. I took a gamble and for me it paid off. Best of luck!

This item is compact, portable and has a variety of ways to mount. Fan cools you wherever you need it. My only dislike is the rubber clamp feet could be constructed from vibration damping material- When clamped to the bed headboard it is effective at cooling but the vibration sound keeps me awake.

If this were any smaller, youd blink and miss it - 7 tall, 5 1/2 wide. The clamp opens to 1 1/2, and has a very strong spring - it will stay wherever you put it. You can also set it on a table or desk without using the clamp, and the fan itself can be turned through 360 degrees to fit your needs. While its listed as a good fan for hooking on to a stroller, its good for other things as well - Ive got it hooked to the edge of the desk, aimed at the base of my laptop for those times when Im gaming and the computer heats up. Its also a good personal cooling fan... just aim it in the right direction, and you might not even need A/C. It will hook into *any* standard USB port - Ive connected it to my BluRay player on those nights when its gotten a little too humid, and it keeps me cool while watching movies. The battery holds a charge for a good long while (though I havent timed it), and it does have a charging light on it. The only real problem is that the fan is just a little slower, a little less powerful when its connected to something via USB - but if the battery is fully charged, disconnect the USB cable and it kicks up a notch. Its just a little big to fit in my computer bag, but it doesnt take up a lot of room otherwise, and its definitely a good value for the price.
