I bought this at a Walgreen's pharmacy. They were 3 for $10 to be used for party favors for my daughter's 9th birthday party. The problem is not with the fan part: that spins fine. It's with the LED letters. I've had 2 so far for my daughter. The first one had leaky batteries, so I assumed that was the probelem, and I returned it. The second worked for a few hours, then the lettering got all messed up. I removed and replaced the batteries per the directions, but that doesn't help. I'll return it for a 3rd devices, but my hopes aren't high. I don't know how the others worked, as we gave them to the girls in their gift bags as they were leaving.
I just found out how to fix it. You pull off the fan part, and bend the two very little metal contacts forward. Then push the fan on well, This seems to have helped, although I've had to do it a few times. With this fix, I'd increase the rating to 2 or 3 stars ( I can't see how to change the rating) as it is very cool when it's working

great customer service ... but wow .. horrible durability

looks really cute but definitely can not recommend it

I was looking for a fan, not a toy. The messages can be cute, but this is no good as a fan.

I should have looked at the other reviews. This thing did not work from the time I took it out of the box. Don't purchase the product.

I love this little fan. I have hit the stage where it doesn't matter what the weather is, I need a fan when my own internal oven kicks in. This fan is the best I have found, a lot stronger breeze than any other. The lights are a fun bonus. I am looking for a supply to give as gifts.

i purchased 30 as wedding favors for $150.00. it's a few dollars more than the cheapest electric hand held fans. The fan's 2 "blades" are soft plastic and move NO air. I repeat, there is NO air that comes out of these fans, much less makes you feel any cooler. the LED message is very cool however. the fact that you can program it specific to the event, made me exclaim "that's really cute" when i turned on the 1st one. i've never seen anything like it and the message alone made me not return a single one.

The fans came in good time. The shipping and handling cost twice as much as each of the items ordered. I would have searched elsewhere for better shipping and handling cost if I'd paid attention when purchasing. The shipping city is only about 20 miles from me.
The fan overall was easy to program and only 1 out of 30 did not work.
