TLDR:
This fan is very nice for cooling yourself off, if you naturally sweat. It is not an AC so yes, it will blow hot air but if you’re sweating and in a place where there is no ventilation, moving air feels better than no moving air at all. The fan can be bulky, but its power, and battery at lower levels makes this fan hit all the marks as a cheap and easy to use portable fan.
Full review:
I'm a chef who lives in Arizona and as the summer has rolled around it has become increasingly more difficult to keep myself cool in a hot kitchen while it’s also very hot outside. The temperatures in my workplace can exceed 100°F and can leave you absolutely drenched in sweat. I haven’t gone about trying other personal portable fans, but this one for its price is quite nice.
First off, despite the fan being quite small, its four modes are quite enough to blow a substantial amount of air. I’ve found that this fan does quite well if you’re the type to sweat a lot, which can easily evaporate your sweat and leave you far cooler than expected.
The battery lasts just fine, and I haven’t really found many times where I’ve had to stop and charge it unless I’m running it on max for an extended period of time. However the fan does take a bit of time to charge, around 20-30 mins from what I’ve seen. It isn’t too bad if you charge it before going out. Though the upside is that it can be charged and used at the same time- so if you have the ability to set it up on a desk or table while it charges and still get air it works just fine.
Power wise, it isn’t going to blow your hair back like it’s some type of dyson hair drier, but if attached to the collar of a shirt pointed at your face, or the base of the pants directed up the back it will give plenty of air to cool you off. You will have to be careful with positioning since the fan draws air in from the bottom and vents it out through the top, so if clothing blocks the bottom intake, you won’t get any airflow. That can easily be solved by clipping the fan on an area away from loose clothing, or bundling up the clothing so it doesn’t cover the intake. You can’t expect the air to hit your face from your waist- that’s crazy.
Noise wise, on the first two levels they aren’t too loud. Though the third and fourth levels can be a little noisy, but doesn’t bother me as the sound gets drowned out in a busy kitchen. The sound on max is about as loud as hearing a vacuum in another room. It’s a noticeable hum, but not nearly as loud as other reviews say.
Lastly, for comfort the fan isn’t too bad at all. It is a bit bulky and the clips to attach to clothing aren’t the best. The fan works best when pointed DIRECTLY at what you want to cool, and at times moving around can shift the fan away from its desired position. I also wouldn’t recommend using the outer clip as it doesn’t hold strong enough to clip onto thin material and does better clipping onto a thicker more grippy material like leather.At the moment I’m working on developing a stabilizer and attachments for the fan to upload for others to be able to 3D print.
