Deal Details

Add the fan and the free gift battery to the cart for $59.

After placing the order, within 5 minutes, go back to the order and cancel the free battery. This results in the fan's price is only $26.99+tax. YMMV as I was using an HD Android App, which allowed me to cancel immediately after placing the order, while my friend (used an Iphone app) had to wait for 5-10 minutes for the order to show up.

You can also wait for both items to be delivered and return the battery in-store for the same net price for the fan, or sell the battery. Happy hacking!!!

Edit: thumbdowns all you want. Home Depot has allowed this type of deal/hack for years. If they allow it, I will do it. There is clearly a price attached to each item. A price that HD sets themselves. I did not force them to give me that price.

I love these fans. They run off battery or can be plugged in.

Online it says you can cancel individual items after 45 minutes of placing the order. Waiting 45 min. on mine then I'll go in and cancel.

Even if the app won't let you cancel, if you have two line items, you can return the batteries.

No, it says within 45 minutes of order confirmation you can cancel the item.

Just ordered on Android phone.
The "Free Item" just showed a blank space on my phone...but when selected, the battery shows up.

Just ordered still working. Just use the direct link not the "see deal" button.
Thanks op. I have the older version of this and have been using it for years. These whisper series are much quieter.

Just ordered the combo on the iPhone app. Battery was only available for pickup at a different store. Within 30 seconds, was able to cancel battery order which left just the fan for $26.99 plus tax. We will see if it goes through for pickup.
