As a Portable go everywhere camp fan I use a Milwaukee M12 Fan. It works brilliantly as a cordless very portable a/w plenty of ways to hang it or with the magnetic base or with the sprung clamp. have several other M12 items in the van (light - impact driver - heated jacket- bluetooth speaker - reciprocating saw - air pump - fan) amongst the 1/2 dozen batteries I carry there is ALWAYS a battery at hand that has enough charge to keep the fan going. The same applies for when I use any of the other M12 tools - there is alway a battery I can grab to power it.
@@SteveOutdoors A non M12 fan might do some stuff "better" but for me it is clutch to 1st - never running out of battery 2nd - not having to charge a separate cordless battery - I bought a non M12 vacuum before I got on the M12 track & have a scene how it is a bit of a pain.
@@SteveOutdoors I just got back from 5 months in the southwest, I added the M12 heated jacket to the collection. On cooler mornings when I could get away without having to turn on my furnace - I would just slip on the jacket and it worked brilliantly...
In the event of a summer power outage in my home fully electric, I can take a styrofoam beer cooler cut 2 holes one in front side, one in back side cooler, fill it with Large, refreezable ice packs. Place the cooler lid on snug place the fan against the cooler and i have a redneck air conditioner until the electricity is restored. I can cool my small bedroom. It works.
Is it enough to block out near by traffic? I live near a semi busy main road that's not a highway but motorcycles sports cars and freight trucks go through. I live near two busy streets. Both always has construction so I see it all. I'm always caught in the middle. And not fun to deal with on long work vacations.
dang...I was sold on this little fan, till I found out you actually need 110 to charge....not really and off grid fan. Would of loved to see a version that charges with the use of a USB. anyone know if they make one?
Excellent review! Every question in mind was answered, thank you! How does the low setting on this compare to the high setting on the plastic foldable 2 speed fan that takes 6 d's, (02cool maybe)?
I can't sleep anywhere without white noise from at least a 12-19" HV fan. Would be great to do some camping again and be able to sleep through the night. The length of charge when on the high setting is key for me. So based upon what you did here, looks like if I want to get enough white noise to last me 5+ hours, I'll have to pick up 2 of these bad boys and run them both at faster-medium fully-charged, to replicate the same white noise as my 14"-19" on high. Your review really helped. Thanks!
I researched this fan and I like it but...... I called the company and they told me that the only way to recharge this fan is through the 3 prong 110v plug. If you have a generator to plug it into or a 110v plug in your vehicle then you wont be able to recharge this fan in the woods. I was going to use my back pack solar panels but it will not take them. Your thoughts?
Yes you will need 110 to use this for very long. If I have no electricity I use my DeWalt fan. I have 3 batteries for it. It will last a long time. Check out my other fan video: ruclips.net/video/S097u7OFDus/видео.html
I love my Dewalt fan. I just recharge the batteries while I’m driving via a 500 watt inverter and a fast charger. It’s worth the investment. Great camping fan. I don’t have the model with the 110v charging option.
Thanks Ms Rotorwings. The power went out for about 45 min. and now looking for a better battery fan. The charging method recommended is helpful. I have a USB charging port on the charge controller coming from solar panel. Will review your fan closer. Thanks
@SteveOutdoors just called them. Absolutely no help. They don't sell a replacement battery individually and had no idea where to look. Very disappointed in their support. Thanks for your reply.
@@RafaelGuerreroThe4th I couldn’t tell you. I did this video two years ago so far it’s still working. But when I’m camping on my motorcycle, I usually take my Dewalt fan because it’s more portable.
@@Green3062 I bet you are a loud camper when you have to cut up some rope or make some kindling. I don't use my knives for self protection, that's what my Glock and Texas LTC is for.
Yes, when I am where I have no electricity for a while I use my DeWalt fan. I have 3 batteries for it and can last at least a week. With my solar generator I can make them last forever.
When I receive this fan I was pissed then I found out you couldn’t charge it with DC power I feel like it’s a piece of Garbage that I cannot charge with my vehicle
Here is a $15 inverter you can get to charge the fan using DC power. amzn.to/3DLEk3N With the DeWalt you will need to buy a $100 battery and a $110 DC adapter if you want to charge it with DC power. amzn.to/3NrkD5A Hope this helps. Good luck.
For Steve Allen to put this on the same table with the Dewalt is very misleading the door Walt will charge with DC power and the other fan will not you burned me with your bad advice
I never said it was 12V charging. In fact my Dewalt is 110 charging only also. Sorry you feel duped with my honest review. You can get an inverter and charge it in you car.

Thanks Steve! Just ordered the 12 and 16 inch. Appreciate your review.
I’ve had a GeekAire 12 inch fan for six years, and it’s been great. They now have a 16 inch and an 18 inch fan.
I found the GeekAire 16 inch, but finding the 18 inch is like a needle in a haystack! Any luck or links would be appreciated!

Do you mean the sound? The fan is pretty quiet so I doubt it will block out traffic noise.
Think this will be great for our son’s baseball game’s.
dang...I was sold on this little fan, till I found out you actually need 110 to charge....not really and off grid fan. Would of loved to see a version that charges with the use of a USB. anyone know if they make one?
The problem with a USB fan is it's not going to be very powerful. You're looking at 5V vs 110V. You can get a power inverter for you car to charge it.
how many amps do they use ..thats the question to how long they will keep cooling
Excellent review! Every question in mind was answered, thank you!
How does the low setting on this compare to the high setting on the plastic foldable 2 speed fan that takes 6 d's, (02cool maybe)?
I wasn't that impressed with the 02Cool. Even on high it didn't push that much air. This fan is much better.

I’m the same way. I’ve also thought about buying an ecoflow power bank. That way I can run a bigger fan of my liking.

You're welcome!
I have both sizes of that fan.both are great. On low air movement is good and super quiet. Can't say enough about these fans.
Hello, can you charge and use the fan at the same time?
@@blockkboyz729 Yes you can.
Died after a year. Any details on battery replacement? Need good source for battery pack. Thank you.
You'd probably have to contact the company.
@SteveOutdoors just called them. Absolutely no help. They don't sell a replacement battery individually and had no idea where to look. Very disappointed in their support.
Thanks for your reply.
Did I miss something? Why no noise comparisons? Would be nice to have comparisons to road pro, and the other cordless outdoor type fans.
All I can review is what I have.
can you use the fan while it is plugged in and charging?
Yes. It’ll run while it’s charging.
I put mine to charge I don’t see no led light that’s show that is charging ?🤔
Thanks for the info…
Yeah but how long does the rechargeable battery last? When it dies, can you replace the battery?
@@RafaelGuerreroThe4th I couldn’t tell you. I did this video two years ago so far it’s still working. But when I’m camping on my motorcycle, I usually take my Dewalt fan because it’s more portable.
Awesome. Keep it in the wind brother
When the battery’s get weak and old , how to you change them ?
I’ve had it for 2 years now. Still going strong.
Can I use my power station to charge tbis? It’s 200 W
Great review! Where do you buy these from? I could not find their website???
Here's the discount link:

Can you run it plug up?
That's pretty cool
Pun intended?
Hey Steve can the fan run with ac while charging up the battery at the same time?
Yes
Very interesting
Ty sir
Is the included battery lithium iron?
It's an internal battery. Not sure what kind it is.
Ty
What are your thoughts on hanging it to use on a rtt? Is it light enough? Or too heavy? Thanks
I'm not sure what an rtt is.
@@SteveOutdoors sorry, a roof top tent
@@pierpimps Ok, I just weighed it. It weighs 6lbs 12oz
@@SteveOutdoors thanks for the reply 👍
I was gonna ask the same thing. Can I suspend it from a tailgate style canopy and use as ceiling fan?
Charging on 12 V or is it only 110charging
The charging cord is110. They may make a 12V, not sure.
Price ??m can I buy from Pakistan ??
Right now it's $129 USD minus 10% discount. You can try the link in the description and see if it can be sent to Pakistan. I'm in Texas, USA.
Is the 10% discount code "Steve Fan" or "SteveFan" (one word)? Thanks

I use my Ryobi fan. Those fans are expensive! The dollar isn't worth squat anymore.
I also have a DeWalt fan.
I'd rather have a digital display over LED lights.
I don't want this guy coming at me in the woods with that knife.
Do you not have a camping knife?
@@SteveOutdoors I have a camping knife. It shoots ,45 ACP. I have another knife that shoots 9mm. My favorite knife are the ones that shoot bullets.
