Review on Portable And Powerful: BRIGENIUS Clip-On Fan For Strollers, Desks, And Travel - USB Rechargeable And Battery Operated In Sleek Black by Jeff Swan

I’m writing this review with the SkyGenius fan sitting on my desktop blowing a gentle breeze across my face…I love this thing! It incorporates a lot of smart design features along with great performance that when added together, gives you a pretty big bang for the very few bucks you spent for it.First, the fan itself…it moves a surprising amount of air at all 3 speeds and produces very little noise. The articulation capabilities of the fan-body allows you to position the air flow in virtually any direction you want, and the pop-off grill gives easy access to the blades if they need cleaning.Next, the mounting clip. It has an extremely strong spring that ensures that whatever you clamp the fan to, it will stay in place without sliding around. It incorporates an arch-shaped cutout for easy clamping on tubes or rails…smart! The clip also doubles as a ‘pedestal’ for free-standing operation on a flat surface.The heart and soul of any rechargeable device is the battery, and this thing performs pretty well. After a full charge and some run-time testing, I found that it easily runs the fan continuously for 1.5+ hours on High speed, 3+ hours on Medium and more than 6 hours on Low.(A COUPLE OF NOTES ON CHARGING: (1) I HIGHLY recommend charging the battery before using, something the manual does not mention, and (2) when completely depleted, the battery will take 3-4 hours for the charge-indicating LED to change from Red to Blue (using a 5V/2.4A USB charger), NOT the 1.5 hours as stated in the manual).Is there room for improvement? Sure! Battery charge times could be faster (though it’s not that big of a deal since you can use the fan while charging); the rubber pads on the Base/Clamp could be a little thicker, ensuring an even better grip; the (+/-) polarity markings on the battery could be a little larger and easier to read (pay attention to those when installing!), but all these are minor annoyances…This is a great product for a great price…don’t hesitate to buy.
