 Nice fan August 31, 2010

This fan was pretty much what I expected out of a battery operated fan. It did not provide much cooling, but did help circulate the air. I used it during the hottest part of the summer upper 90s during the days with lots of humidity. It was a good way to circulate air, but it did not do much more than that.
 Great item for 1.5 weeks August 25, 2010

I like a fan when I sleep or to cool me off when it is 95+ and humid and Coleman makes good products so it was a complete surprise when this fan stopped working 1.5 weeks after I bought it. I'd laid in a supply of fresh batteries and even spent several hours taking it apart to check solders and wiring and even bypassed the switch, nothing helped. After using it for 1.5 weeks, the motor apparently died.
Yes it could have been an aberration but I do not care, I'll look for a more reliable brand in the future.
 Five stars for fifteen bucks August 19, 2010

My tent is 10' x 14'. Inside a smaller tent, this fan would probably be more effective to cool multiple people, but when you are just using it on one person from nearby, tent size is not a factor. I estimate that on the low setting it's good for 1-1.5 people and on high for 2-3 people.
Since the fan lacks guards and oscillation, it is fairly low-weight (the D-cells not so much). Even so, I can't imagine anybody carrying this on their back for a hiking trip.
I used this fan for 10 days of summer camping and it made a huge difference inside my tent. Be warned that I only used this for myself on low setting, inches away from me, but it would have done the same job on high from two feet distance.
If you have ever tried to sleep inside a tent in the summer (especially a nylon tent in direct sunlight) you know that it can be impossible. This fan makes it possible, or at least helps you sleep an hour or two later. In the past, after 10 days of camping I have been exhausted due to the inability to sleep [I stay up very late]. Others may wish to get up at sunrise and attempt to take a nap later, in the hotter portion of the day. This fan might allow you to do that. It won't overcome 100 degree weather, but on high it could make it feel like 90, for what it's worth.
If you are car-camping anyway, and need a serious cooling system, I'd recommend instead the Westward 1UCE9 Fan, Clip On, 12 V, Dia 6 In and a 12V battery charger such as the Energizer 84020 All-in-One 12V 18Ah Battery Jumpstarter with Air Compressor and Power Inverter. This fan is easily 5x more powerful (and 5x heavier) than the Coleman, and oscillates, so it could cool 5-6 people, or drop the temperature for one person considerably. It has the advantage of 24+ hours of battery life, as well as a bright lantern light for your tent, outlets to recharge portable devices, and it can jump-start your car or inflate a flat tire.
Great Little Fan August 18, 2010

This fan works really well -- it's perfect for getting some air outside on the patio, without having to hook up a series of extension cords. It lasts MUCH longer on batteries than the description states; I've run it about 50 hours on high already, and the batteries are still going strong. It's not wimpy, either. It's not a tornado, but stronger than I expected for a small, battery powered unit -- perfect for one or two people eating outside.
good fan August 17, 2010

I got this fan for a mission trip I was going on where we didnt know if we would have electrical outlets to plug in fans. I used this fan along with 2 others and this one put out the most air and I didnt have replace the batteries which I did in the other one. I will use it again and recommend to others who need battery operated fan.
