This review is from: O2-Cool Model 1054 10" Indoor/Outdoor Fan (Kitchen)
I HAD to review this after reading the only other review for this fan. I am certain I have reviewed this fan for Amazon before, but for some reason don't see it here. I use two of these fans to move air around in my 20x10 Swiss Gear tent while camping in Texas. It is made from plastic and like all other plastic products, it is breakable if you muscle your way to using it wrong, but usage is fairly straight forward. To open the leg, simply swing it down from the back of the fan on its hinge. Opening the battery compartment is fairly simple as well if you understand what lock, and unlock icons mean. The fan moves LOTS of air, and the ones I own have taken plenty of abuse being tossed into and out of the back of my truck for the last two years. My only complaint with them is the battery compartment cover is a little tough to get back on until you figure out exactly how it works, and on high it will suck an expensive set of D cell batteries down in 24 hours. If you use these a lot, I would STRONGLY recommend getting a couple of sets of rechargable D cells and a charger, OR getting the model with the built in rechargable batteries. I like that this model is also available with a transformer that you can use to run it off of 110v power, which makes camping in sites with electricity much less of a drain in the wallet! I rated this fan a 5 as I feel it is the best of its breed. It is NOT to be compared to a corded box fan or anything like that since you do different things with them. But this fan is the absolute best of its kind that I have tried. I have used several different models from Coleman, this thing moves so much more air that there really is no comparison. The Coleman fans simply do not move air like this thing does...

Great fan, good battery life, needs to spend 5 more minutes on the design floor,

I bought this fan to keep my girlfriend and I cool during a camping trip this spring. We needed something portable yet powerful with enough battery life to buy us a few hours in the morning once the sun came up (as everyone knows, tents turn into ovens as soon as the first rays of sunlight appear).This fan worked GREAT. The battery life works as advertised and it moves quite a bit of air without making too much of a ruckus. The stiff hinge allows you to point the fan wherever you want and holds it in position nice and solid like, and it folds up flat enough to stuff it into a backpack if needed. It does take a TON of batteries but again, they last a really long time. This fan kept us very cool and comfortable (Enough to sleep in a little too much, actually!) The only problem (as my title suggests) is that the battery "lid" or cover is designed really poorly. It's a huge pain to lock and unlock the lid and you have to push pretty hard to get it into place. The lid itself is thin and cheaply made. If the fan tumbles around too much I'm pretty sure you'll end up with D batteries all over the place. Also, the on switch is very easy to activate accidentally; all you have to do is brush up against it. When we were driving home we couldn't figure out where the "wrrrrrrrr" noise was coming from in the car until we got home (5 hours later) and found that a blanket had turned the fan on. The good news? The batteries still lasted forever :) Synopsis: despite the design flaws, this fan is AWESOME. If you're trying to keep cool while camping, buy this fan. That is all.

I bought this due to potential power failure in winter times here in Missouri, as last couple of years Ice storms seem to knock power out for a week. I use this little fan to help stir the air in the room, with the fireplace. Read some reviews about a capacitor or resistor blowing up. However, so far that has not happened to me. I would suggest, REMOVE THE BATTERIES IF YOUR GOING TO USE THE AC ADAPTER. I dont believe this unit is safe when using on AC when the batteries are still in the fan. Just advice to others. Otherwise, so far I havnt seem to have any problems yet. It moves a far amount of air for a small battery fan. PS use alkaline batteries. If you use rechargeable,batteries, dont leave them in the fan , when you use the AC cord. This unit is not to charge batteries.
