Got one from this deal and it arrived yesterday.

After fully charging, I tested on the high setting and it went for 2 hours on the dot using my phone timer. Advertised rates say 6h for low, 2.6h for med, and 1.3h for high. Knockoff Chinese products of "name brand" items are hit or miss for batteries (the "name brand" ones may have specific QC/QA requirements for battery batch grades in their products), so I may have just gotten lucky. Not bad at all for under $6.

What I found interesting on the included card in the package, it mentions that if you want the charging block adapter you can contact them to get the wall charging block. Also, it mentions that if you want to use it for longer outdoors, you can contact them to send you a 5000mAh power bank (the built-in pack is rated at 1200mAh). I don't know if they'll charge you shipping or not, but that seems decent. I have no use for more e-waste, and the quality of these may seem somewhat questionable, so I haven't contacted them.

This deal comes around a few times, lasts for hours and doesn't cut my baby, also a recognizable brand. Not available now. Just saying there's better deals out there besides this shill junk.

these produce no air circulation. we paid $8 for the hampton bay famous brand from the previous deal and still didnt like how much it blows. fan is just too small and the hinge isnt very solid. imagine this inferior product made with chinese standard...
I went on my Amazon order history and saw that I bought this at the beginning of the year:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088GY64VQ/

It's a bit more expensive than the one in this thread, but I like it and it's got good size. I don't know why the current deal doesn't list specs and Watts like the one I got.

Product Dimensions: 2.4"D x 4.7"W x 10.8"H
Wattage: 2.7 watts

Just received mine
Specs for those interested

Model: F1012
Material: ABS&PP&GEL&Aluminum alloy
Product Weight: 168g
Operating Voltage: 4.5-9V
Input Current: DC5V/1A (USB C)
*box says 5-15V but pamphlet says 5V only*
Power Usage: 0.8~3. 4W
Battery capacіty: 1200mAh
Product Size: 94*94*193.5mm
Origin: Shenzhen, China

they also include a card saying you can contact them for a complimentary wall charger and 5000mAh portable power bank

the gaps are also not too wide but i guess really small fingers can squeeze through if they really try... the little mesh cover they include will prevent anything like that and doesn't seem to affect airflow

it works well, a bit loud when set to high, but for $6, not complaining

Where do you think the Hampton Bay version come from? Likely the same Chinese factory and the same assembly line of this shill fan.
It's not the same model, better battery life and the gaps are smaller.

That is true, I have to admit. The circulation is disappointing even though the Hampton fan had really good reviews.

That's the opposite of using your brain, if you truly want to put your mind to use you'd look for tools and batteries in here and go to YouTube to figure out if you're diligent enough to modify a 5 dollar fan.
I guess it's a brain diff, you rather waste hours rather than spending a couple bucks more for a product that works out of the box. That's using YOUR brain Mcgyver.

LOL yes lets reason with a baby.

ME: Now listen up baby.
Baby: yes sir?
ME: Look I am going to put this fan by you to keep you cool, don't get your lips or fingers anywhere close to it alright?
Baby: Sure thing, cause that would be dangerous.
Baby: Anything else?
Me: Yeah, maybe give me and the misses a break every now and then and sleep for a solid 8?
Baby: Oh yeah no problem, I thought you guys just missed me or something.​
This tells your mental ability very well

I have two of these. One for Work and one at home. I use for myself. The batteries have held up very well for me. And I like that they're USB rechargeable. I absolutely love them because you can hang them about anywhere.

Quote from Wavy-Nife :
I mean, don't let your baby play with fans? Pretty sure that's in a parenting blog somewhere..
I was showing a rental house to two women once. The prospective renter had two children around 5 or 6 years old. At the rear of the fenced backyard was an alley. A wall separated the yard from the alley. A previous owner had built concrete steps to allow the resident to drop garbage over the wall into can(s) in the alley. Both women were concerned that the kids might play on and fall from the three-foot high steps. The same steps that were just as high as the front and back porches, by the way.

My advice to them, which they never had the opportunity to take because the kids later ran wild inside the house, was to tell the kids not to play on the steps. Revolutionary to them, I suppose.

If children understand that you mean what you say, you'll never feel the need to raise your voice. Both you and they will know what to expect because you are always consistent in that regard. Consistency really is worth the bother. The results can be amazing. (Non-communicative infants excepted: Just put things, like fans, out of their reach!)

for those looking for baby safe fan, this may be a better choice. Also USB C https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-P...f=sr_1_17? I have no experience with that model.

Personally I used cloth or foam blade fans for my child. You can get battery powered "bladeless" fans now too but they aren't very portable and don't mount to a stroller.

Have you heard of a screwdriver?
A screwdriver won't help if the batteries are soldered in. You can replace the batteries but it's a real hassle if they're soldered in. And depending on the type and number of batteries, it might cost >$10 if you buy quality ones.

I'm guessing that the complimentary charger and power bank are given in exchange for a positive review. That's fine with me as long as I think positively of the fan. We'll see. For $5, I'm in for two. I have plenty of rechargeable NiCad, NiMH and LiIon (18650, etc) batteries at home so I can likely replace any defective batteries. At worst, I'll just break it apart and use the components for other projects.

All they asked for was my shipping address
seems like no strings attached

I'll probably leave an actual review after trying it out for a bit

As others have mentioned, battery doesn't last too long, but for 1200mAh what more can you expect

(and someone also mentioned it only swivels sideways but it can angle up 90 degrees as well)
