5.0 out of 5 stars The important stuff is great, but it does have issues

Pros:- Removeable dual batteries for continuous indefinite runtime, even on HI- Quiet and strong air output- Inlet filter option with 5 filters included- Slim profile- Switch lockout to prevent inadvertent activation when not in useCons:- Lanyard connection are not very robust and highly exposed to damage (See photo)- The control button is very small and on the top of the device making it more difficult to access while wearing it on a belt and mostly covered by clothing- Belt and shirt clips are thin plastic and more prone to breakage vs metal- Battery compartment cover is unattached, has very small retention tabs and the opening lever is not fully recessed. Making it susceptible to accidental opening (See photo)More on the battery compartment. The door has a small amount of spring retention to keep it secure, however, if the open latch is inadvertently activated the door fly's off, and with nothing retaining it to the fan housing, may be lost. Having a thin non slip pad on my worktable and scooting the fan bottom across was enough to accidentally open the battery compartment door. It fell off when I picked up the fan.That said, the battery itself is actually retained by a sliding tab from the filter housing (See the red circle in the photo). Sliding the filter housing open and closed allows for battery removal and retention. The door only acts as a cover.Also to note that the polarity sticker on the battery is the only way to tell the correct polarity when inserting the battery. There is a matching sticker in the bottom of the battery cavity to align with the sticker on the battery. If the sticker on the battery is removed or falls off, there are no other markings or indicators on the battery to know which is positive or negative. (I scratched a little "+" sign over the positive terminal in the event the sticker comes off)The light is "okay". It's more of a narrow beam that doesn't really throw any light outside of the narrow beam circle (See photo at 5' distance). Personally, I prefer a wider casting light vs trying to spotlight one specific place, but preference vary. It's "bright enough", useable as a backup light and I didn't buy the fan for the flashlight. LOLMy conclusion: It has some design issues and some things to be careful of, BUT, it puts out a lot of air, quietly, with a slim form factor and with dual batteries can run on high all day long and then some! All at an extremely budget friendly price! You can never have it all and this fan ticks off all the important stuff for me. The rest are minor issues I'm perfectly happy living with in trade.

4.0 out of 5 stars High-tech version of flapping your shirt.

Surprisingly nice kit overall. Fan output is decent and rather noisy, but that's pretty normal for something that's only 1-inch in diameter. Sounds like a hair dryer, though not as loud. Outputs a sort of "beam" of air, so you get cooling no matter how far you are.Battery can go in either way, and unit will operate normally.Batteries charge very slowly, but you get two of them. Power bank feature is fun. True battery capacity is unknown; title says 10000, photo says 8000, and battery pack itself has no marking. But it put 75% of charge into my phone using 75% of one battery, so 4000-8000 seems plausible. It took 2 hours to do this, which is normal for the phone, though the unit got rather warm.Full stars for features, obligatory -1 star for inconsistent specs.
