Greater than one weekI give 5 stars not only for the product but also for the customer service, the first one I bought did not work well, the battery does not hold a charge to make the fan work without being plugged in, by the time I called amazon to replace it it was already too late and had to call the company directly, I explained what happened to the customer service person, and she tried to solve it right away, I received a new geek fan that works properly, I recommend it, the batteries are kept for a long time time you can use it and turn it off and on again, and the fan keeps the batterie charged, it is easy to recharge just plug it in until it is 100% charged again; the air is not weak and the size of the fan is enough to keep you or the area cool, I have a gazebo and it is super practical to use it there.

> 3 dayThis fan produces a ton of airflow and the battery lasts forever. However, it is quite noisy out of the box (it sounds like maybe the blades are loose or something?) Also, the LEDs for the battery on the back are ridiculously bright. I wanted to use this in the room where our baby sleeps while traveling but the lights are brighter than the night light we normally use by a pretty wide margin. Itd be great if those were more dim or maybe if you could turn them off.

> 3 dayThis 16 inch fan is extremely quiet and versatile. It has impressive air flow at all speeds and the battery life is as advertised. It does charge quickly and is easy to operate. The fan comes fully assembled and charged so it is ready to use out of the box. We bought this to use outside which is convenient since there are no cords. It is well made. This is the second battery powered fan I have purchased and I would highly recommend this one, especially if you live is an area where storms can cause extended power outages. The run time allows you to sleep with nice air flow blowing on you, which in a hot humid climate is a must. After my satisfaction with the first fan I purchased from Greek Aire I had no problem buying this second one. They are a good company with great customer service.

> 3 dayOverall, a nice fan with very high airflow. CONS: - Battery is a bit lacking. Only lasted ~4.5hrs on a full charge on high. I would expect about double that on medium, but I havent tested it yet. - While the stand isnt huge, I feel like it could have been smaller, or foldable for this price point. - The knobs to set the angle seem a bit weak and likely to crack over time (thin walled ABS, probably no UV stabilizer). And God help you if you accidentally unscrew one all the way! You practically have to take the whole thing apart just to get the knob back on since the screw holding it falls into the fan cage. - Must be charged via a 12V barrel jack, a USB powerpak wont cut it. PROS: - Very high airflow - BLDC is good quality and I expect it to last for a long time - No bearing noise (although there is some blade noise at higher speeds, but not much) - Seems like the IPX4 rating is appropriate, this thing should last awhile when doing drive-and-tent camping TL;DR - Overall, pretty good. High airflow, but low battery life at max speed. Stand is the weakest part of the whole design. Its obvious the costs went into the battery, motor, and electronics rather than the stand. Which is a good thing.

> 3 dayI live in a city where temperatures are 3 digits 5 months of the year and when the power goes out, at least twice a summer, this fan is a life saver. I have bought 3 so far for family members.

> 3 dayWe live in an urban area with a surprising amount of mosquitos. I got the fan primarily to use when I sit on my balcony, to blow on me for heat reduction and to keep the bugs off me. They can’t fly very well into a breeze so it’s a great option if you don’t want to mess with repellants. So far it’s worked great for that purpose and I see it being our go to for indoor cooling as well. Maybe also if we need to shampoo a carpet or dry paint or glue for home projects. It’s the 10” size and great for my needs and lack of storage for anything bigger. The only con so far is that it can’t be left plugged in for more than 24 hours per the manual, so it will require some attention on my part to keep from burning our the battery.

> 3 dayThis fan is cool, and the best battery-powered one I’ve ever used (I have a few). I live off-grid so my power runs out by 2am every night and doesn’t come back on until 8am or later. But this thing charges itself during the day and just keeps on running all night, then recharges itself after the power comes back on usually 6-8 hours later. It keeps the bedroom breezy & cool all night long, isn’t too noisy, and the speed is super adjustable. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry because of the handle, so I often take it with me when I go to art shows/fairs as a way of keeping myself and my clients cool while making & selling artwork under my canopy. It also makes hanging out outdoors more comfortable because it gets so darn hot in the summer, but I just pick a spot in the shade, set this thing next to me, and I can keep cool for hours while reading, painting, etc., and not have to be stuck in-doors next to my swamp cooler. The breeze also helps keep flies off my person and my paintings. The battery lasts for many hours, especially if you keep it on a medium or low setting (rather than a high setting) and though I’ve had it for 2 years now, the battery seems just as good, and the fan is still working perfectly. It’s made of sturdy metal and has handled accidental falls/drops/kicks/etc like a champ.

> 3 dayWe recently moved 4 hrs from our previous location in early July, and I wasn’t sure what to do about keeping my goats and chickens comfortable during the drive. I researched several permanent options and none of them were feasible for both timing and cost. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered battery powered fans, but these did not disappoint! I ordered two fans to allow for some cross flow of air. Not only did they stay on at the highest speed for well over 4 hours, but they also produce a nice breeze. I’ve been without power in their barns for the past two weeks and we use these during the hottest part of the day to help keep them cool and to reduce the flies. Once power is run to the barns, these fans will make perfect picnic and/or sporting event fans. I’m very impressed.
