Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Stay Cool with the Kensington 62648 FlyFan USB Notebook Fan (PC/Mac) by Matthew Riley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT. until the cat ate it.

I bought this fan because my laptop tends to overheat. It worked great and cooled my laptop very well. The neck is stiff enough to lean where needed and it stays in place. The wind is surprisingly strong, and despite being aimed at the keyboard, it also cools me down. It was lightweight and easily fit in a computer bag. There was a slight hum, but it wasn't much louder than the fan inside the laptop. I was very impressed and used it almost continuously for two weeks. until my cat ate the fan. Yes, you heard right. She ate the little gum leaves straight away. She became obsessed with watching it when it was on and hit it several times, but otherwise left it alone. Then one day I left it when it was off and came home to chew on the little plugs where the gum leaves used to be. I was able to stick the folded pieces of tape over the remaining small end caps and am back to work, but it's not exactly the same. It makes a bit more noise and doesn't look as pretty, but it still works. So if you have a cat, you can take a fan and put it away when not in use.

Pros
  • Minimal power consumption for all-day cooling
Cons
  • Low maintainability
