How the heck do I add a picture to this deal on mobile app (android)? Can someone add a pic for me, please? Either I'm totally missing it, or it's missing from my app.

Factory blemished = brand new for those new to DTO. Comes in same box as the fan in the store, same manual, etc. Most speculate that Factory Blemished = Overstock. Factory reconditioned = not new, arrives in plain brown box, and item is stamped with an R on it. This deal is for Factory Blemished.

It's nowhere near the awesome deal a few months ago for $45 + an awesome free bit set, but it's a solid deal nonetheless over the $140(?) HD price. Here's that crazy deal I'm sure we'll never see again: https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/640381

- My personal 2 cents on the deal after having the fan for ~2 months:
In all honesty, I love the fan and use it everyday. But, I don't know that it's worth more than the $45 plus free bits I got it for. At $80, I'd look hard at some alternative outdoor fans/shop fans that move way more air. But unlike those, I can take this one almost anywhere and run it on battery. I take advantage of its portability all the time around the house. I take it between the house and backyard deck all the time. It's also got a cutout in the base plate bracket for a bolt, so I'll be looking into mounting it on posts outside pretty soon.

- Advice if you're on the fence about it:
So I guess if you're on the fence, it comes down to how likely you are to take advantage of its ability to run off of a battery vs significantly more air (CFM) at the same or lower prices (many of which are rated for being outdoors with waterproof motor housing).

- The premium you're paying for the ability to run it off a Ryobi battery:
With this fan, make no mistake that you are paying LARGE premium for the ability to run it using your Ryobi batteries. Yes, it's very well made, but that's not the reason they're able to charge $140 for a freaking fan, and sell enough to have nearly 750 reviews on HD.

My porch is hot and I need to install ceiling fans out there, but until then I've been just dragging out a big fan with extension cord and it's a pita and trip hazard. But with this I just sit it out where I need it and done. I feel stupid that I've had it in a box for a few months, could have saved myself some trouble! It's also good for entertaining guests, I just put them where needed and there's no cords for people to trip on. Sure it's not a fancy looking fan, but in the Florida heat, anyone would be grateful for spot cooling.

I want one, but not at this price. I'm going to hope for the $50 one I missed a while back to show up again.

Got the $45 dollar deal. Agree that's about the right price, at $80 think twice. The main advantage for us is the hybrid power, makes for a great piece of hurricane equipment down here. Currently using mine, cord powered, at my farmer's market stand, moves good air.

At this price, why not just buy the ryobi inverter and a solid fan to go with it. 45$ feels like it should be the normal price for this fan.

This website makes absolutely no sense. People have gone crazy for this deal at this price multiple times in the past. The $45 deal was a price mistake that lasted all of 2 hours and now everyone thinks this deal is crap at $80. I bought 2 - was bummed I missed out on the 45 deal and I doubt it will go much lower than 70-80 absent another price mistake.

Agreed, this price is significantly less than retail. I'm in for 2.

With ERCOT warning us Texans of blackouts due to the heat, this deal couldn't have come a better time.... and were not even in the 100s yet Smilie

Great battery run fan, if you are already in Ryobi battery platform. The only one you can actually feel if you are more than 3 feet away from it. Good deal, sure you can be a hold out for a lower price, but the heat is coming and and it is a solid price . We use ours all the time outside for the dogs and no regrets buying it for the $80. Factory blemished =brand new from Direct tools basically. Having a real cord come with it is nice, not like the crappy Milwaukee fan, if you want to use the house power.
You can use those battery adapters as well if you want to use a Makita or Milwaukee battery in a pinch.
