I brought this to a workspace where air is....well decidedly lacking. Thankfully, this little guy has come to the rescue. It is actually quiet and with it being a thin format, and 5V powered (by any mini-PC, wall wart, USB enabled receptacle) makes for a easy usage of it. It shockingly moves a significantly large amount of air throughout the area for such a small form factor.It is well balanced on its frame to tilt the center fan up & down easily. Power button is easily used to cycle the fan speeds also. The clamp is a bit of a pain in the arse - tight and doesn't allow for attachment to much but some items it works. The rubber lined clamp is a nice add.Recommend for a small deployable fan

This product arrived the next day via Amazon Prime and was packaged in a small cardboard box.PROS-The materials are only okay in that it does not seem particularly heavy duty plastic (I have several Honeywell turbo fans for the past decade and those have frequently fallen over and can taka beating). This does not seem nearly as robust however the clip stand is a smart design and does offer decent stability.-This fan is surprisingly powerful and performs as well..-I love how compact this is, perfect for a night stand without requiring much of a footprint. The clip allows for installation where traditional fans could not easily be positioned,-... especially since this fan can be powered either by its buil in rechargeable battery or simply plugged in.-I always like to look how fans open up so that I can clean the blades properly two or three times a year as my place gets dusty; while I have not opened this unit yet as it is new, it does not look difficult to dismantle the cage for cleaning.-Simple, easy controls without the need of an app or another cheap remote.-Asking price of $20 CAD is solid, even if this needs to be replaced next year, the affordability makes this easily replaceable.. I think it would be harder to find a more effective fan at a cheaper price.CONS-I have not been able to test the battery life yet in terms of how long it can go before a recharge but a 12000mAh battery seems small for something that likely requires considerable power. What do I know however, and I shall update my review once I have been able to test this out more thoroughly. I don't foresee this to be a huge issue however because I do intend to keep it plugged in to operate most of the time.-While this thing is indeed stable, it is not as stable as a fan with a wide base and low center of gravity would be. While I am not worried of it falling over, be wary if you have small children or pets because I am not sure if this thing would survive a tumble. You could clip it higher off the ground or a surface but the extra height might also pose a problem should this fall from a considerable height. It does not look particularly robust, even though I don't have durability concerns per se.

I love this little USB powered clip on fan. Mostly I just leave it sitting on its base and don't clip it onto things, so I can't say for sure how good the clip on function is, but the rest of the fan is great.Blades spin good and it produces some nice cool air, I personally set this thing on top of a chest freezer and I find it helps to blow some of the cool air off the top of the freezer around my room nicely. I like how this is powered by USB, and once charged you can pretty much put this fan anywhere.As per always though I really wish they included a slightly longer USB cable but that is a minor quibble and I have a fair number of extender cables, so I just use one of those if I need to charge it and my laptop or other device isn't right next to the fan.

When I first opened the box, I wasn’t exactly filled with confidence. The fan rattled in the packaging, felt a bit too lightweight, and the plastic frame seemed a little flimsy out of the gate. But once I secured the front grille, the whole unit suddenly felt more solid—almost like it found its structural backbone.The plastic does flex a bit, so the fan doesn’t sit perfectly centred in its bracket—but that’s more of a cosmetic quirk than a functional flaw.Then I started discovering its surprisingly thoughtful features:✅ Five Fan SpeedsEach setting pushes air noticeably well—even the lower ones are effective, and the highest speed feels powerful for a fan of this size.✅ Built-in LightThere are two integrated LED lights with three brightness levels, which adds a whole new dimension of usefulness. It’s a great feature for camping, bedside use, or even emergency situations.✅ Flexible Mounting Options• The included clip doubles as a base to stand it on a table or shelf.• You can also mount it to a wall using screws.• Remove the clip and you can attach a hook instead. Very clever and very handy.✅ Easy CleaningThe front grille pops off easily, so when dust starts building up, it won’t be a hassle to clean.📊 Noise Levels (measured at 1 ft, ambient ~40 dB):• Low: 43 dB• Med-Low: 46 dB• Medium: 49 dB• Med-High: 52 dB• High: 55 dBDefinitely not silent, but still within acceptable limits—especially considering the airflow you get.So far, I’m genuinely impressed with this fan. I’ll be putting it through its paces over the summer, and if anything notable comes up (like battery performance on different settings), I’ll update my review.Initial verdict: A surprisingly capable fan that punches above its weight—4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
