The fan is junk anyway. You have to buy a plug or a many D batteries to run it. Better off buying a portable fan on a bendable tripod and attaching.

Says temporarily out of stock for me, but still allowed me to order. We'll see if it gets cancelled.

I initially ordered from Amazon for delayed delivery, but then ended up ordering one from Walmart which gets delivered tomorrow.

I have one of these with the fan and one without. I'll take the one with the fan everyday over the non fan model. I use rechargeable Eneloops (3 AA to D adapter) to power the fan.

Agreed. I have one with and without. Get your self a usb fan or small battery powered one and use that to move the air around.

This is probably the best price i've ever seen. I remember a few years ago when a 99 dollar one was considered a slick deal...

Got one of these from Costco a year or so back that's still in the box. Was going to use in my truck camper but hear lots of comments about this putting out a lot of moisture. What are people's use cases for this?

Get one of those heat power fans that clips on to top/guard. Will never run out of batteries or fail on you.
