I'm surprised to see negative reviews. We've been using these for 3+ years now and have no complaints at all.

We use them on our boat in the caribbean. the temps are 80+ w/ humidity at 80+ also. it can get hot and stuffy in the cabin. but not with this fan. it puts out a lot of air for a little fan. and the heavy bottom keeps it from flying around the cabin in rough water or falling over when kicked at night.

We run them every night, all night. batteries last about 2 weeks at that rate (about 125 hours.)but i always carry extras just in case.

Plan on using one (1) per person.

We finally replaced ours after the wiring became disconnected. I couldn't find a way in to that compartment to fix it. but at $14 each, so what.

This fan is excellent for a battery-powered fan. Very powerful compared to other battery models; it will put out enough air to keep you confortable several feet of the fan. It is obviously not as powerful as an AC-powered room fan, but great for what it is. I haven't tested battery lifespan yet (I bought it after Katrina for future hurricane-related power outages), so no opinion there yet.

Good battery life and quiet. If you have a large tent you may want two.

I purchased two of these fans for a camping trip with my grandsons and have been using them at home ever since then. Kid safe, they were perfect in our three room tent. At home, used together they moved air around a stuffy room to save on air conditioning while my bridge group visited. Now, I have one by my desk and another by my bed. Very powerful for their size and quiet. Batteries last a good long time. Several of my friends have purchased them after seeing mine with the idea of having cool air if the electricity goes out. Coleman Free Standing Tent Fan

I purchased this fan for a weekend camping trip in humid 90 degree weather. It worked pretty well on the first night....on high, there was significant circulation to my upper body when placed to air mattress on a small table. Unfortunately, the fan wouldn't turn on the next night. I installed fresh batteries and still nothing. I opened up base to discover a faulty switch...it wasn't making contact properly. I thought I fixed it, but once jostled too much, would not make contact again. Ridiculously shoddy craftsmanship, which SUPER surprises me with a Coleman product.

this fan is lightweight and worked great in my tent to keep me cool while desert camping. it's not super high-powered but it worked well and the batteries lasted the whole week (using it mostly in the morning and sometimes afternoon). the blades are soft because there's no cage, and it's easy to position the fan so it reaches you even on the floor.

We purchased two of these fans for a boating trip, and I'm sure glad we had them! We were in a tiny cabin with only a small porthole, and the fans did the job pushing the air around and keeping us comfortable. We used them for three nights on four D batteries, and they never ran out of juice! Great product!

I took this fan to Bonnaroo this year and it worked very well, allowing me to sleep in on those hot Tennessee mornings after staying up late watching some amazing bands.
I haven't used up the first set of batteries yet but have only run it for maybe 4 hours, which really is not too bad. Probably it will run for a good long time.
This fan may not be the quietest but it's ok and a little hum is a worthwhile tradeoff for the lovely cooling breeze it provides.
One warning though, without much to protect the fan blades, don't pack anything tightly against them. I did, they were deformed, and they regained their shape after a little while so no big deal.
Glad I bought it and would do so again.

This is just perfect, great wind force, perfect little hum to drowned out some of the night critters, ran for 3 days on one battery, and still has juice for another week! If you need some circulation this will help quite a bit. Of course not like your box fan at home, but just enough to help.

A really great product. Provides tremendous airflow and,using Nimh batteries, runs for days without a recharge.
