Gazeled Battery Operated Fan, Camping Fan Battery Powered, Super Long Lasting, 5'' Portable D-Cell Battery Powered Desk Fan with Timer, 3 Speeds, Quiet, 180° Rotation, for Office,Bedroom,Outdoor, F24

I have bought a total of five of these. Four during the aftermath of hurricane Helene where batteries were at a premium. One in preparation for the next hurricane season. With all five, myself and two children, my mother and my sister are all covered. I'm not really sure they last as long as they say they do but they do last stuff really a long time on very few batteries. They are pretty powerful considering their size. I had already been looking at these for camping equipment and in the aftermath of Helene, I got them on a very good price and because it was so hot and we had no electricity, we definitely needed them. It made sleeping comfortable and also having that sound. I use mine at my desk often when I don't want to turn on the ceiling fan. I have not used them in connection to a battery bank or plugging them in, I'm not even sure I kept the cords for that. I wanted battery operated because battery Banks are useful for other things. I love these fans and the only proof I can give you is the fact that I four already bought four and still bought a fifth. I know their price point can be a little daunting considering their size, but I promise you they are well worth it. The only complaint is that the lights are bright at night and my autistic daughter and my typical son both found them overwhelming. That was easily solved with a piece of duct tape covering the lights. Great air flow, they look pretty well but they are a fan. Truly how great can they look I like the different colored handles since that way I can keep straight whose fan is who's. They do function extremely good but like I said before, I don't think they have the lifespan on 4D batteries as advertised, but they do have a longer lifespan than any other fan I've tried. We had a very tiny fan bought from Walmart on clearance for $5 and it ran on 4 d batteries and by the end of one day it would barely be functioning on low. These are definitely going to last you at least 2 or 3 days on low.

BLOWS BETTER THAN MY STAND UP FAN. Very useful due to being able to use with batteries and USB.

I was looking for fans to have during an emergency/power outage and these have been perfect! We live in Arizona where it’s not uncommon for a summer storm to knock out power for a few hours to a day. Also when AC goes out or works poorly, it’s big trouble. We have a couple exotic small mammals that need to stay below 80 degrees as well as our own heat triggered health issues. The first fan I purchased worked better than another more popular fan that was double the price! After testing it out I decided to order a second fan for our household and one for my mom. Then ordered a fourth one while on vacation for some air movement during our stay in Utah. While they can plug into a power source, I have been testing them with batteries. I have had the same batteries in this fan for two months mostly on the second speed, sometimes all night or all day. I have been consistently running it for a week when home and still haven’t had to change the batteries. It moves so much air for such a small fan. It sits bed side perfectly and is so portable for in the car, camping/outdoors, vacation, sleep overs, ect. Working well for cooling up to 100 degrees at least. We brought it for a short stay at a friends house. Her daughter is non-verbal and sensory seeking and is obsessed with our fans. She steals it away whenever she can and it’s very easy for her to carry and perfectly sized for her as well. She has given it her own toughness test and it held up shockingly well so I would say it’s very well made. Even though we purchased these switch the idea of emergency use, we have been using them at home to stay cool on the hottest days, for traveling and vacation. I wish I had these when my daughter was younger and still in a car seat to cool down the back seat area or to bring in her wagon.

I purchased this fan so that I have something to help keep me cool during power outages, especially after hurricanes (I am in Florida). I am happy with it overall. Pros: Lightweight, pivot feature is nice, and works on battery or AC. Well-designed. Battery life is decent but only about one-third of what is advertised when tested at middle speed. Middle speed provides decent air flow and high speed is even much better. Cons: If you want to use AC to power the fan, please be aware that it comes with a propriatery power cord (the end that plugs into the fan is not a standard USB). Low speed does not put out enough air to have much effect. Since I wanted a fan that could run for quite a while on batteries during multi-day power outages after a hurricane, I tested it on the middle speed. How I peformed the test: Day one: Ran for 10.5 hours, then turned it off overnight. Day two: Ran it for 3.0 hours in the morning, then turned it off until afternoon. After turning it back on, I let it run. The low-battery warning came on after about a total of 14 hours run time, but the battery did not shut down until a little over 18 hours total. Note, however, that that the last few hours it was running with noticably-degraded air output (similar to low speed or maybe even less). Summary: I obtained about 15 hours runtime with airflow around normal for the middle speed. The listing states that it should provide around 46 hours at this speed, so actual time is about one-third of what is advertised. Obviously, the quality and type of batteries used will bring different results. In my test I was using brand new Panasonic D cells. The run time is still decent, so I am happy with the fan, but the listing is definitely not accurate.

Having just gone through no power with Hurricane Beryl in Houston for long periods of time, I decided to get my act together and begin prepping early for whatever may come (which I hope it doesn't). I tested several fans, and they were all versions of awful---too loud, only one way to charge them, or did not blow strong enough. So of course the one fan I had zero hopes of being good, turned out to be...really good. This thing feels cheap, some would say looks cheap, and doesn't look like it could cool anything down but it's 100% the opposite. Level one is like a very faint breeze, level two, maybe the level of a hand fan, and level three is a strong breeze. My hair was moving back on level 3, so I was quite impressed. The unit can run on D batteries or USB. You CANNOT use have both in at the same time. If you want to use USB, it must be plugged in, the unit does not charge up so keep that in mind. Thanks to my prepping, I now have an indoor power station and this thing is only 5V, so good to go. Pros: powerful on level 3, can have it run on a timer, very light weight, low cost, tilt function, it can be taken apart to clean the blades, can run on battery OR USB plugged in. Instruction manual is very thorough giving tips of what to do for maintenance issues and longevity of the product. Cons: (not really) but I wish it could be charged up on its own without being plugged in, but I knew that before I bought it and level one really is quite low on the air, but everyone is different and that might work really well for you, but I'm buying it for disaster preparedness--power out--no a/c, so I need something strong, and thankfully level 3 is good.

It works really well and great to have when the electricity goes out. Great value for the money.

We had a week-long, family camping trip during a very hot and muggy week in August. This strong but mighty “little guy” helped me survive. I would take it outside with me, and sit in my reclining lawn chair with the fan blowing right on my face. It’s light-weight, easy to hold. At night, in the camper, I set the fan on a side table right by my head, and aimed it at my face. It’s amazing how much more comfortable you can feel just by keeping your face cool. My grandkids loved it, too, often asked me if they could use it. And, it really helped our newborn grandson feel better, too. Poor little one was not happy with the heat, but calmed down with “fan therapy!” I highly recommend this item! I put one set of batteries in at the start of the campout, and it’s still going strong now, after more than a week. This is very high quality, and especially for a campout with no electricity available! So glad that I bought one! 👍🏼

I bought this off of the reviews. It’s exactly as described. Love that is portable. This is my second one I bought. I have to say it does have some blowing power on high. Probably going to buy another one for when power goes out. I definitely recommend.

Lo uso con unas pilas de amazon basics, y me duran como 16 hrs a maxima potencia, funciona de maravilla, y tiene temporizador de 1,3 y 6 hrs, me ha salvado muchas veces cuando se va la luz en la noche y la CFE no la repara hasta muchas horas después.

Excellent for camping or hospital

achei que era mais potente

Batteries last, so handy. I have a few.

Battery life is less than i expected but it works well
