To answer some questions from the previous forum post:
The battery is not removable (like it appears to be on the misting version) and you can charge it and use it at the same time.
The USB port on the side does charge external devices but everything I plugged into it said "Slow Charging, Check Cord" and indicated that it would take 6+ hours to charge or something like that.
The fan has an infinitely variable speed control and is inaudible on the lowest setting and moves a lot of air on the highest setting.
The four-bar battery meter seems a little off and the fan will run a very long time before going from four bars to three then two then dead in rapid succession.
The blades on mine were ever so slightly off balance so it does shake/oscillate a little on some speed settings but that doesn't bother me.
Build quality seems above average with a mostly metal frame and metal blades and the motor seems to be high quality (no whines, hums or rattles).
Overall, I really like the fan and I might buy another.

I bought the misting version a few days ago at this price and I'm very happy with it. Definitely a good deal at this price.
The model numbers also follow the same pattern: Costco : FE40-DBP HD: #FE30-DM

Didn't think I'd use the battery powered part as I just wanted a quiet fan for my at-home work desk area, but being able to just unplug it and put it somewhere else has come in handy a few times. Just yesterday I used it after mopping the kitchen to speed up drying.
This is a great fan for camping and for using during summer swim events for the kids.
