Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

this fan has a couple features that make it a 5-star product in my view. 1) from a full charge, on the lowest speed, this fan will run for 6+ hours. and ive found that the lowest speed is very powerful and quiet - great if youre running it while sleeping - so i doubt ill ever need a higher speed which might drain the battery more. set on low, the amount to air/breeze is plenty! 2) the clip is super strong - such an important feature! i accidentally left the fan clipped inside my car and went for a drive on a mountain road and it never budged an inch! thats a big one for me. 3) versatility - you can clip the fan to anything and it can be turned, rotated 360 degrees in virtually any direction so you can direct the air flow exactly where you want AND it will hold there! it wont move. it is a perfect, quiet cooling addition to my Honda Fit. highly recommended from a picky car camper.

This fan works and does the job well, I just wish it had a lower starting setting. It is adjustable but the low setting is more like what I would expect for medium or high. Would like to be able to turn it down.

Great for travel. Used it on trip to Italy during heat wave and it did great job as a fan while I slept. Battery would be dead by time I woke up, but that didn’t cause any problems and I recharged during day. Small enough for packing away on long flights and the lithium-ion battery is removable to place in carry on. Great for international trips.

I exercise on lunch at work and have had the problem of difficulty cooling down while trying to get dressed afterward - especially because the locker room tends to be hot and humid from other people taking hot showers while I am trying to cool off. I ordered this fan to blow air on me while I got dressed and it works great. I just clip it on to the locker door and turn it on. My only complaint is that the flow of air is pretty narrow so I end up constantly adjusting the direction to point to me (easy to do) as I move around while getting dressed but it does a great job of controlling my heat and keeping me from re-sweating after a shower. It is small enough to store in my gym bag and fairly quiet. I can also sit it on my desk if I am still hot. The fan charges from USB so I just plug it in by my desk. The charge lasts for several weeks of workouts. There is no way to tell when the charge is getting low, so just charge the fan once a week because it will just stop without warning when it does run out of juice. Overall one of the smartest purchases I have made.

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!

Current usage update: So, we had bought 3 of these fans and now, after two years, we are down to just one now. Although they are great, they just don’t last. Keep in mind we use them for about two hours at a time and maybe once a week on average. One, with the dial on the base and two batteries had just stopped working and the other one with a single battery had issues with the usb connection. I think it might be soldered poorly and makes intermittent contact which worried me so I stopped using it. I am about to order another. Regardless, these are pretty great when functioning. The only irritating thing is that if they are plugged into an external battery the fan speed is poor compared to when it is just running off its own battery. I even tried removing the battery and running it but still runs poorly. We just keep them charged and run them full blast and plug them in when we stop. On camping trips in the north east, these are great for the kids. Our external packs kept them running all night. Hence my average on 2 hours once a week. We don’t use them during the winter, spring or fall. UPDATE: SkyGenius had contacted me and offered to replace the fan. The new one came in and I had turned it on and let it drain. After it drained, I had recharged it and it worked again just as long. The output is great and fairly quiet. Our baby likes the extra air movement when shes in the stroller and we have to cover her up due to the sun. Shes a ginger with sensitive skin. Id give SkyGenius a perfect 10 in trying to remedy this faulty fan! Customer Service was top notch. I bought this fan exclusively for our road trip to Boston for when our 13week old baby needed a little extra air. It worked great until the battery die after first use and I tried to recharge it. It never recharged again and the light (assuming a light that shows the charging status) never comes on. This this is now useless and Ive gone past the return period since we were traveling for a few weeks. Junk. At least this one.

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.

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.

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.

This fan is so convenient. Perfect size. Rechargeable and portable. I use it everyday!
