Review on πŸ•οΈ Rechargeable Outdoor Camping Fan with LED Lantern - Portable and Battery Operated Personal Fan, USB Desk Fan for Travel, Bedroom, Home, Office by Nikki Green

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Short cord, not sure because of the hook

I ordered this fan to work with my exercise bike (Peloton) to circulate air during exercise. At first I looked for one with a clamp but thought it would work well on the ground in front of my bike. The supplied cable does not have a plug, just a USB cable. That wouldn't be an issue if the cord was longer, but it's a maximum of two feet. I can connect it to my bike's touchscreen, but then I have to hang the fan on something very close to use it. The fan comes with a fold-out plastic hook on the bottom, so I tried hanging it on a piece of bike handlebar string. Unfortunately, it ends at an angle, with most of the air blowing towards the bike frame or away from me. It seems to be holding a decent charge so far, but I've noticed a whining noise when you crank the fan to maximum output. Parameter. I use headphones when I ride normally so it doesn't bother me, but it will definitely bother me if I'm doing a workout that requires time on the bike and on the ground. As for the facility to attach it to the bike, there is no way. The base is thick and shaped in such a way that I couldn't attach it. At best, I could try attaching it to one of the side frames, but I have a feeling this will introduce a new airflow problem. If you're looking for a small fan to use on your desk, plug into your computer and around, or have a spare USB plug, this is a valuable find. If you need to place it somewhere far away from you, but not next to some sort of plug-in, you'll have to buy another cable, which is an expense I didn't anticipate. I know you can find something cheap, but why would I buy something that requires accessories?

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Negative gift
