Customer ReviewsHappy Camper/Hiker This is a rather adequate small, portable fan that will put out some air circulation. It is rather lite-weight, until you put in the monster sized D cell batteries. The weight gain is considerable. The battery power does not last long either, approximately three (3) hours if you are lucky when using this in non-stop mode. Have to agree with one of the other reviewers that when you insert the batteries the fan does tend to bulge out and then you have to wrestle with it trying to put the cap back on. I, too, broke the tabs on mine but that was fixed with duct tape. If attaching this item to your tent ceiling using the provided magnet, it will make the ceiling sag quite a bit, especially after inserting the batteries. Recommend using this item in a tent where you have some head room and not worry about banging your head on it. The fan blade is made of plastic, so, theoretically, you should not have to worry about getting cut. Overall, an alrite item. Life saver I took this little fan on RAGBRAI, a 471-mile, 7-day bike ride across the state of Iowa. It is hot and muggy in Iowa in July, and I knew I would need ventilation in my tiny tent at night in order to sleep well. It worked perfect - I situated it so the fan blew across my upper body, and it was just enough to keep me cool and the “white” noise of it was quiet but very calming. It doesn’t take up much room in bag, and in a summer camping situation where electricity is not available, I would never go without it. So glad I found it while surfing around Amazon. Mediocre personal fan at best My family and I bought this fan before a camping trip to South Carolina in July. I was really looking forward to a cool breeze in our tent. Much to my dismay, this puny fan did not provide ANY breeze. Holding it in your hand, 6 inches away from your face, it is a mediocre personal fan. It might work for one-person tents, but for families or hot climates, this isn’t worth its weight. |
