I got this fan to replace a small camping tent fan I was using. This fan seemed perfect after looking around at others. The fan arrived to a very excited customer, me, and I put it together.
The outer shell is removable, and had a belt clip on it which is handy for carrying outdoors activities. Once removed, the fan is just a slim plastic cylinder with a screw off bottom lid for the battery insertion spot. It does seem a little...cheap once the cover is removed. If you dropped it without the shell, I wouldn't be surprised if it cracked.
Once turned on, the fan has a low hum, not real annoying. It has only on and off setting no speed setting. The fan itself is rubbery, and doesn't hurt to touch, I've had a 3 year old touch the fan wings while it was running on fresh batteries and simply giggle, then made a game out of it.
The neck glides a full half circle ALMOST. So you can turn the fan to point directly at you at 90degrees, and without turning the actual fan, you can make the fan point in the opposite direction to almost 90 degrees also, behind hindered a little by the belt clip in that direction.
The suction cup is...well...I havn't really noticed it working at all. I guess if I wetted it or really worked at having it suction it'd be okay. Though, I have no use for the suction cup as of yet.
In my estimation, the battery seems to last 3 - 4 hours, slowly dwindling in speed as time ticks. My biggest complaint is sometimes the fan needs whacked or the wings manually started if the battery is getting a little low. As if the motor needs a little jump start, it's either cause mine is defective or just how it is. It is a small motor after all so somewhat expected. Either way, I use this fan often and love it. Took it to the state fair recently, it was used the entire time and kept me cool. People were jealous!

The fan that needed whacking or turned to start was defective. That is not normal. I have had to replace this fan a couple times because I wore the motor out accidentally etc, but I still use the fan often and am still a fan of it after many many months
Customer Review: Great Air...

I'll admit...I got this for flying as I hate it when I am sitting on a plane that is waiting for passengers or cargo or clearance and there is little to no air being emitted from the passenger vents.
I used this unit just recently in May 2008 on a trip to and from Duluth, MN.
I found it to be most useful and beneficial....ALTHOUGH, I would like to see a speed adjustment for this unit - both FASTER and slower.
It is nice that the fan blade easily comes off (not TOO easily) for storing and that it has a GREAT battery life, thanks to the 'D' cell battery. That adds a little heft but it is great for long use without changing the battery.
It is nice that the 'head' swivels up and down for positioning as well as side to side. The suction cup on the base is mediocre at best and should not be relied on for stability.
But, all in all, it is a great unit for the price and very well made.
