Greater than one weekI ordered this fan 2 weeks ago and I am so pleased with its performance. I live in South Florida and wanted a fan for the back patio since it can get very warm with stagnant air flow. The first time I used it, it turned my patio into an enjoyable summer hang out. On high, it works for almost 6 hours. When I turned it down, I was out all day and it did not reach the end of the charge. I like that the fan level is variable, not just on and off, I cant say how long it takes to recharge because I plug it in and walk away. I also like that it will run when it is plugged into the wall, while it is charging. Thats a nice added feature because I have a blue too speaker that will not play while charging - annoying. There is not a negative thing I can say about this fan!

> 3 dayworks great. Very helpful for a fair sized room. The low speed setting is good at hot nights to cool enough to have a good sleep. Last more than 20 hour when set to low speed. But only about 3 hours at max speed. If it can last long will be perfect

> 3 dayI Brought this on a 5 week, 8500 mile cross country road trip where every night or other night was in a different hotel. Having a portable fan in my face at night is helpful for sleep, and this thing really did the job. On a medium speed setting the battery always lasted the entire night, and the 12” size was perfect for setting up anywhere. The housing construction is solid, this is not a piece of crap. Looking forward to using it outside next Spring to help keeps the bugs away.

20-11-2024Gave this Fan to my Sister who reviewed it: I am totally impressed with this fan. I tested it this morning. It ran on High for 4 & 1/2 hours and took 2 hours to recharge fully back up. If you leave Amazon reviews I would give it a 5 star. Its amazing!!! Great air flow too.

20-11-2024UPDATE: Its been almost 1.5 years, Ive used this a lot and now its dead. I plugged it in last night and nothing. If this wasnt almost $100 I wouldnt be too upset that it only lasted that long. But for that price I would have hoped to have this for much longer. It worked great when it worked but now its a big paper weight. I ordered this to initially use when camping. I use it all the time! Its convenient to take outside when in your yard on a hot day, or to use at night for a breeze and some white noise. The fan isnt really doesnt produce a lot of noise and the charge does last quite a while. If you charge it and run it on high it will last 2 - 3 hours. On a lower speed you are looking at 8 or so hours. The only thing I dont like about it, and it could just be mine, is that when you charge the lights flash on top. At night those lights are bright. Then, when its fully charged, it doesnt stop flashing and just keep the 3 lights on...the last one flashes FOREVER. At first I thought it wasnt fully charging, but it is. It just likes to flash that 3rd light whenever its plugged in. However, with that being said I think this fan is incredible. I recommend it for anyone, like me, that gets hot no matter what time of year. Its a perfect size fan to really stay cool when youre hot.

> 3 dayUpdate: This sat in our RV for a year, getting to slightly below freezing in the winter to over 100° in the summer. It was not fully charged when we stored it, but I dont know what level it was. Today I pulled it out and it started putting out a breeze. I plugged it in, and it is over 60% charged, even after sitting for a year! More impressed now than when we first bought it! It works great for moving air around the RV on hot nights when we dont have power. Its a game-changer for summer boondocking! We bought this for warm nights boondocking in our travel trailer or in our tent. When it arrived, it was about 60% charged. I plugged it in and waited for all lights to go off, indicating a full charge. I then set it on the lowest speed and let it run. 25 hours later, the red light began to blink, indicating it needed a charge! I had not expected that kind of battery life! Another 2 hours on the charger, and back to full charge again. Im excited to have a solution to move a little air when were away from electricity!

> 3 dayI expected a fan that was totally battery operated. You must have heard of hurricane Ian that devastated an area just 70 miles south of my home. We were without power for 5 days. A battery operated fan would have helped a lot since there was no power within a radius of 25 miles to re charge the fan

Greater than one weekSeen this at a friend’s camp site. Gave to my spouse as a gift. So far very happy! Especially very impressed by the quietness of this very sturdy fan. I would use it easily around sleeping area, barely can hear it (at least at lower setting. Looks very sturdy, most all parts are metal, including blades, cage etc. Which does result in a heavier and bigger device but that is ok if all else holds up! The only open questions, the fan swivels up and down but the knobs on the sides which are made of plastic, don’t seem to serve any purpose, they don’t twist to hold the fan position. I also have not exhausted the battery life, so can’t tell how long it will last and how quickly the charging takes, or how long one charge may last! Will update as needed! So far definitely would recommend and buy again.

> 3 dayThe good news is this a beautiful looking, super-portable, long-lasting battery operated fan for indoor or outdoor use. The bad news is despite calling it a hurricane fan, its simply not that powerful compared to the Vornado model 723 which costs significantly less (but has to be plugged in to work). The really bad news is that the fan refuses to stay at the angle I adjust it to. It stays that way for a few minutes at most before going back to the angle it prefers. Iv e tried tightening the height control knobs, and they simply dont work right. The fan is otherwise decent, but not powerful enough to get you through heatwave with no A/C. I would not buy this fan again. Get a Vornado model 723. Now thats power, plus its built like a tank and stays where you aim it. If you are going camping, or to the beach, or just doing outdoor stuff anywhere, or youre in a summer time power outage, then this fan makes sense--especially since it doesnt have to be plugged in once its been charged. It puts out a pretty good amount of air for several hours, but because it wont stay where you aim it, that kind of defeats the purpose.

> 3 dayWatched a you tube video and this fan had great reviews so I purchased it. My husband loves it and it will be great for our camping trips. It does not get as loud as a normal box fan but it still works great. And love that it can be plugged in or just charge it up and go. Highly recommend this product.
