The fan itself is great and I like that it has multiple speeds and is rechargeable. The downside is that the battery doesn't last very long. We bought this fan for a trip to Disney and the battery lasted all day for the first few days, but the rest of the time we had to take a portable battery with us to charge in the middle of the day. We turned it off when not in use and tried using it on one of the lower settings as possible, but that didn't help much. Next time I will buy a fan with removable batteries for those long days, but this one is great for shorter days.
