Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bought 2 models. I returned this one.

I bought 2 portable/USB fans to compare. I wanted to keep both if they are both good. But one "hit" me, so I sent this one back and bought another one of my favorites. Features I was looking for: - mini/portable - lightweight - can be hung around the neck or otherwise attached or hung - long battery life - works when plugged in/charged. After checking out a few models on Revain and reading a lot of reviews, I bought an EasyAcc round pod [EasyAcc fan with a 180° rotating hands-free necklace] and this FUNME-Y shape. Out of the box, the round EasyAcc pod felt more compact at first glance, and I liked how it folded for storage. Both felt like they were about the same weight. I attached straps to each fan. The EasyAcc strap was wider, which felt good around the neck. I liked how the FUNME fan lay in a Y shape on the chest. I glued a strip of cloth to each fan and turned each one to low (first photo). Each fan had 3 speeds. At the lowest speed, the FUNME fan barely moved the fabric, while the EasyAcc fabric blew well and felt great. I barely felt any air movement when FUNME was right in front of my face at LOW and MEDIUM speeds. FUNME felt it only cooled at HIGH speed while EasyAcc cooled even at LOW speed. Both were quiet, with EasyAcc only getting a little louder on HIGH. I lined up the fans (2nd photo) and noticed that while the FUNME fan case was larger (left), the fan blades were smaller than EasyAcc's (right). FUNME could easily have larger fan blades that fill a larger case and create more airflow. They both had 7 fan blades, but the EasyAcc had SIGNIFICANTLY more airflow. Already knowing I was going to return FUNME, my final test for EasyAcc was how long it held a charge at a HIGH level. The description says 3 hours of battery life in HIGH mode. I had it running on HIGH for 4 hours and 17 minutes before needing to charge it again. Very impressive. I would have thought that maybe my FUNME fan is defective, except it was running on all 3 speeds, only LOW and MEDIUM had little airflow.

Pros
  • One Push Power Off
Cons
  • Legacy model
