I bought one. Returning it. bought 4 other brands' similar looking handheld fans since prime day. NONE come close to Diveblues speed or power.
I've tried a lot too, I have an old Taotronics one that's legendary and blows far better than any other I've tested (I've returned at least 4 also). But they no longer exist, and I'm trying to find a replacement. Do you have a link for the Diveblues? Have you compared it to the Jisulife ones (they get the best reviews, usually)?

Quote from GeoffreyK24 :
This looks nearly identical to the Diveblues model that is one of my favorite purchases from this summer. The biggest difference I see is the fan head itself having a much more narrow opening ring for air to come out of. I'll give it a shot and see if it lives up to Diveblues and report back. Thanks, iconian
I just received my fan in the mail this afternoon. As another user reported, it isn't as powerful as the Diveblues fans that are the best that I've tested, this model came in a close 2nd compared to the other style of portable fan in this form factor that I've purchased. I measured the ft/min air speed of both units using my anemometer at a distance of roughly 3-4 inches away from the head of each fan.

Both the Diveblues and the Playhot have identical bodies while the head of the Playhot is larger than the Diveblues. Strangely enough, even with the larger head, the intake on the back of the Playhot fan head is smaller in diameter than the Diveblues. Similarly, the fan blades are smaller than the Diveblues. The air output of the Diveblues FEELS decently stronger but I believe that is due more to the concentrated beam of air coming out of the Diveblues unit when compared to the Playhot that has a much more narrow air output ring around the larger center display that I think causes a wider air dispersion ring.

Measurements taken on fan speed 5 for each of the units came out to:

Diveblues: ~ 1,160-1,180 ft/min
Playhot: ~ 1,100-1,120 ft/min

Ultimately, the Diveblues still wins out with a higher air speed output along with the better/smaller head design. I'm still comfortable holding on to this fan and, after some initial feedback from others, I believed the Playhot would perform much worse than it did. It didn't take 1st place but it absolutely beats the other model of fan I purchased recently with this same form factor so I'll still consider this a win.

I just posted a comment with my comparison measurements with the Diveblues. It isn't as strong but still performed decently well. I'll probably hold on to mine after all.

I bought the Diveblues fan - although it is strong (5 speeds) but it's so loud. Please recommend something more quiet - I don't need it too strong. Thanks so much

You don't happen to have a Jisulife for comparison?

I don't but I also haven't been interested in models of personal fans that don't have adjustable heads. I haven't seen any Jisulife deals pop up that have adjustable heads just yet.

Gotcha. They're pretty much considered the best so I'm curious about those in comparison.

This is much cheaper and same price as this one https://a.co/d/1QjAEfs
I had this, it's got issues charging and it gets really hot,to the point where I'd consider it a fire risk

Which Diveblues model are you referring to? I see multiple models on Amazon.

Sorry. Here is the model that I've been referring to: https://a.co/d/j0GBJSMThe original one or two times these popped up as deals, they seemed to get a lot of traction so I was commenting without stopping to think about the fact that not everyone would know what I've been talking about.
