Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

This is a follow-up to my previous review. Another reviewer pointed out---quite correctly I have discovered--- that just any 18650 battery may not fit into the battery compartment; it must be the same LENGTH as the one that came with it; I believe he included that measurement in his post. So, try to find a supplier and compare the length before you buy. I have 1 to return unfortunately.

This fan is amazing! Bought one for our daughter when she was a baby (2018) and we still use it for her to this day! Bought a second one for our son as well so they both had their own. We took the one that was 3 years old to the zoo with us and had it on high the entire time and it lasted the whole time and part of the ride home. If youre looking for a quality fan I would definitely suggest this one! As far as noise level it is pretty quiet, as I said battery life is wonderful, and it very easily clips onto anything. We clip it onto the car seat or onto the stroller and it works great. Because the bottom spins and the top can be angled forward or backward You could basically move this and angle it any way you want. Charging is super easy as well. Definitely worth the money and glad that we got these!!!

Micro USB port broke after the first week of use. I havent had time to write a review, so just got around to it now. You have to mess around with the angle and positioning to get the cord to work. Pretty useless. The fan itself is pretty decently made and works good. My issue is specifically around the poor micro USB jack design. UPDATE 1: After contacting the company for a warranty request, theyre agreeing to replace the fan. I will update this review if/when I receive the new device and if it doesnt fail as well. UPDATE 2: The replacement came quickly. After testing the replacement for a few weeks now, I cash honestly say its working great and hopefully the first (micro USB charging issue) was just from premature wear or unexpected defect. This is why I prefer USB C anyway. Updated rating to 4 stars.

Overall a great fan, but we have had issues with the customer service after one of the fans we ordered did not have the battery (rendering the fan useless). It has taken over a month to try to get just a rechargeable battery, but still no luck.

The fan works well and blows as hard as you would want for something near your desk. Very versatile. Can be angled in any direction. Battery life seemed sufficient as Ive often run it for 4+ hours without plugging it in. Only issue is the USB charging port may be a bit touchy. To be fair, I have had it over 2 years. But, after awhile, I noticed the light was no longer turning on when I plugged it in. I thought the battery or cord might have gone bad before I realized the issue was the connection at the port. I can still get it to charge but only by rigging the charging cord to provide consistent gentle pressure on the port in the right direction. I would recommend not moving it more than necessary while plugged in and treating the charging port gently. Overall good fan, just dont expect the charging port to last forever.

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.

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

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.

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.

I assumed this would be small, lightweight, convenient and not very powerful. It checks all those boxes. I use it in my Jeep to blow on my face while working or cooking, either for cooling or to drive away mosquitoes. It does the trick. It stands up on its own, swivels well, and the clip is sturdy and can attach well to flat objects an inch thick (have not tried it on a round object, such as a pipe). The breeze it generates on high (youll probably always use it on high) is about what youd expect from a plastic fan whose blades are just 3-4 inches in diameter. But its easy to store and handy to move around and situate on a flat surface or clip to something. Holds a charge for at least 4 hours on high (have not tested beyond that, but the advertised life means Ill be recharging daily when in use, I suspect). Ill be testing it out camping and prolly might prefer something bigger and more powerful, but for the price, Im happy with it.
