Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

This fan is great! The battery life is better than I expected, and I was worried about it being a rechargeable battery. It has been so easy to plug in to our van or charge it at the front door so I dont forget to leave home without it. I live in hot and humid SC and this is a necessity with my now 4mo son! I have clipped this onto the stroller, the babys car seat handle, a lounge chair at the pool, and even clipped it onto one of the straps of my baby carrier while wearing my son at a baseball game. This fan is so adjustable and the clip is very strong. I also love that the fan has varying speeds. I also have a 2.5 yo daughter and she has not had a problem with it. I was afraid that she might try to stick her fingers inside and get hurt, so initially I thought about purchasing a foam blade fan, but this hasnt been a problem. The only con I have is I wish I had bought this sooner to use with my 2.5 yo. Seriously! We have a fan with the water mist and that works fine, it was almost the same price at target as this one is on Amazon, but it doesnt have all the great features of this fan.

This I hands down the best portable fan I have ever purchased!

Initial impressions are positive. Purchased this mini fan to improve ventilation and move air around the inside of a micro-cruiser sailboat cabin. Seems to have adequate airflow for that purpose. Chose this model over others due to design. Variable speed, not just low, med and high. Clip or table top base use. 18650 lipo battery. Fan is relatively quiet. Basically just air movement noise. Gimbal mount allows flexible positioning of air flow in every direction. Clamp is padded with a closed cell foam like material. Clamp allows for ~3/4” thick surface. Pushing it to ~1” is possible. Grip is still positive due to the foam. Powered through the micro-USB charging plug with a 12.5 watt solar panel. Controller limits set at 5V, max 2.1A. Only weird thing was the fan had only one speed. Full on. Powered with the same solar set up with the battery installed allowed variable speed. The battery compartment only allows use of flat top 18650 lipos. Too short for protected batteries. 18650 of choice are KeepPower 3500mAh protected (aka button top) lipos. Used in everything else that accepts 18650. Not sure if the built in charger has a quality battery management system. Unprotected lipo, bad battery charge control can result in a dangerous event. Supposedly the unit will shut down if battery voltage drops below 3.2V under load. If so, little risk to damaging battery during use. Maximum discharge rate is low (<1C)for this fan. Little risk to all but real junky Lipos. Will use “smart” charger vs. the fan’s charger. 4*s for now. If the fan lasts at least one season of use it’s a 5* unit.

Este abanico resulta tener el tamaño perfecto para usar en un escritorio, ya que no ocupa mucho espacio, y la potencia perfecta para librarte del calor cuando el aire acondicionado no está funcionando. La carga en la batería es un poco más corta que la descrita en la página de venta.

This is a cool little fan, pun intended. I have used it at the gym for over 4 hours total. It wont clip onto the sides of an elliptical or treadmill as shown in the pictures, but will clip onto the small lip/shelve on the elliptical and clip onto the cubby/lip on the treadmill just fine. I run it on the slowest speed and it moves a lot of air. I had to remove the 2 plastic covers on both sides to tighten the small screws to keep the fan pointed in my direction otherwise the fan kept slowly rotating downward and the air flow not at my neck/face area. Battery: I have many 18650 batteries that I use in my LED torches (Flashlights). The fans 18650 is a bit shorter than all my other 18650s. None of my 18650s fit into the battery compartment on this fan. So when this battery fails to take a charge I think that will be it. SkyGenius decal on the front of the fan is crooked, not level. I took it off and then reapplied correctly. Overall, I like it. SG battery is the one on the right. Its the pinkish/purple one. Notice the height differences.

Update: SkyGenuis contacted me and sent me a replacement. The fan I got is powerful, quit and the battery still good. The moment I turned it on, my puppy sat in front of it and fell asleep :( . That’s exactly why I was excited to order it at first place. I will clip it on his car during our road trip. Very loud noise and battery dies 5 min after. I was expecting a brand new fan for my puppy during a road trip but With that level of noise I don’t think we will use it!

The lithium battery died in my first one and its an unusual size...not AA or AAA. I use the fan for my treadmill and my recumbent exercise bike. I like it so much that I ordered the special battery for #1 and now I will have a second so I dont need to keep transferring it. Makes good air and quiet. Worked perfectly for many hundreds of users. This new one is identical. Thin and lightly made but just right for my use. I find that passing on reviews honestly is important. This is great for what it is.

This item is compact, portable and has a variety of ways to mount. Fan cools you wherever you need it. My only dislike is the rubber clamp feet could be constructed from vibration damping material- When clamped to the bed headboard it is effective at cooling but the vibration sound keeps me awake.

Battery life not the greatest.

We bought for our wonderfold wagon, they work well. The batteries have a moderate life. The strength of the is alright but I definitely wish it was stronger, if it is on the poles, facing the pusher you can barely feel it.
