Functional but misleading
I bought this fan to clip to my daughter's stroller to keep her cool on hot walks. The fan does serve its purpose but not shown in the picture is that there is a cord that plugs into the back of the fan and then to a chunky/awkward battery pack. The battery pack can then be attached to the fan's clip, but that makes it too bulky. I also do not like having the cord dangling. To be fair it might be listed in the description, and I missed it. I would have chosen an different fan had I realized there was more to it than what is shown in the picture. It is OKAY for what I use it for, but not ideal. I do not recommend it for stroller use.
Small fan good breeze - batteries last long time-update as of 06-21-13
I needed a fan that ran on batteries. Use it 10 hours a day - two days a week. One set (2 each) "D" batteries have lasted 4 weeks and another 2 batteries lasted 6 weeks. Have used both speeds. Gives good breeze for where I need it without blowing everything off the work area. Clamp is cushioned and heavy and strong enough to fit on a metal shelf approximately 3/4" thick. Have recommended it and would buy again. Another plus: free shipping! UPDATE: Purchased another so I would not have to carry back and forth. Both fans working great! Maybe the person that didn't like the cord hanging down did not realize that the battery pack slides on the clamp and the cord could be gathered up or wrapped around it, thus eliminating the dangling cord. Hope this update helps. P. S. Batteries still lasting 5-6 weeks using it 10 hours a day - two days a week. I did order my batteries thru Amazon.com and they had a good long expiration date on them.
Great for the gym!
This is an absolute must-buy for anyone who works out on a treadmill / elliptical / stationary bike / etc. I always wish I had air blowing on me when I'm working out at a gym, and the building's A/C never feels like enough. This fan fixes the problem! It clips right on to the elliptical I use, and the flexible fan lets me put it at the exact angle I need to keep me cool throughout my workout. It's also one of the few battery-operated clip fans out there, which is a must if your machine isn't near an outlet (and mine never seem to be). I love it!
