Review on πŸ”‹ O2COOL Treva 10-Inch Portable Battery Powered Fan - 2 Cooling Speeds - Includes AC Adapter and USB Charging Port for Desktop Air Circulation by Cody Mckechnie

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Heat up a hot glue gun to turn it into a useful fan.

Drops easily onto almost any surface, even a hard flat surface if the wind is blowing that day or you bump into the surface as you walk by. Yes, it is powered by 6 D batteries which the design depends on to keep it upright under weight. Remove the back and batteries, on the cover you just removed, place a dot of hot glue on each corner of one end and tape to the bottom in a secure location to hold it in place. I also added two dots at the bottom of the other end to keep it from sliding on the glass and laminate). A cable clicker or similar remote works well too and doesn't need to be glued in place as the buttons work like glue. Even on the lowest settings, it's noticeably louder. Controlling with both hands was a brilliant idea because a genius agreed to use a switch that didn't touch anything. (Hot glue and Lego are here to help). Also, there's the ridiculous order of options you can choose from, and that the slider has very little resistance to sticking with each option, so it just slides back and forth until you grab it with both hands and move an option . high. The general idiocy in the design makes it clear that they were more concerned with looks than with actual usability and usefulness, let alone accessibility for everyone.

Pros
  • USB Gadgets
Cons
  • Not All Fit
