I bought this fan more than 4 years ago and I love it so much I bought 2 more for the convenience of always having it wherever I go. I generally run pretty hot so it’s nice to have a reliable portable fan to keep me cool.
bought this a month ago and it worked great like twice. only been used maybe 6 times. been inside in the hutch of my toolbox. tried with brand new battery, with fully charged straight off the charger batteries and it shuts off in a matter of seconds. tried at least four different batteries with same result. if you try and turn it on slow, as you ramp up speed when you get to half power it dies. Quite disappointed! the rest of the guys in the shop laugh because they have milwaukee and their fans work great. not happy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like this fan! It works for a pretty long time on 5amp batteries and has pretty good output. I use it to cool myself where I’m working or to dry projects I’m working on.
Helpful for anywhere you need a breeze and can burn through batteries without worry. Does a great job as a fan, but needs an option for wall-power. New models should be able to sit ontop of construction buckets of water for some primo evaporative misting.
I've had this for years and love this fan. It is quiet, portable, and with a 5 or 6 AH battery, this runs for a long time. I've left the fan on medium/low speed overnight and found it still running the next day. I use it sometimes when sanding to blow saw dust away. I also use it in a pinch when it get's too hot inside.
