4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent small fan
I've owned this fan for several years now and it still works like new.

No, it won't create a breeze you can feel in a room or outdoors.

Yes, it's perfect for close-up cooling, such as on a desk and, for me, in a greenhouse or terrarium. Use the lights in the greenhouse or terrarium to power the fan and you don't have to raise your energy bill...

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Toy. Not A Useful Fan At All
The fan works under direct sunshine only. And it's so weak that you can't feel anything. I think the CFM is about only 1 or 2. You can't use it to draw hot air out of even just a 3 x 4 restroom.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pass on it, August 8, 2007
This review is from: Solar Powered Fan for Room, or Desk Can Mount in Window Room Ventilator with Removable Solar Panel
Works only in bright direct sunlight. You barely feel just a little air when it runs. Not worth the cost.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deal or Dud?: This one is a complete Dud!, July 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Solar Powered Fan for Room, or Desk Can Mount in Window Room Ventilator with Removable Solar Panel
This product was terrible!!! It will not run in even the slightest shaded light and must be placed in unobstructed sunlight. There is no on or off switch and there is no battery for the solar cell to charge to use it in evening hours or dusk conditions. The only time it will come on is when you place it in the middle of the yard with nothing remotely around it!

When running the fan is not sufficient to cool anything. So, I can't really imagine any time this product would be useful for anything. It did not meet my expectations and was in my opinion an overpriced piece of junk.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Junk, July 18, 2010

This review is from: Solar Powered Fan for Room, or Desk Can Mount in Window Room Ventilator with Removable Solar Panel
The fan blade hardly spins. Basically a piece of junk. Should be removed from being sold.

The fan is silent when operating, which is another plus, and the breeze is gentle enough for plants or, say, reptiles in the terrarium.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for when you just need a bit of breeze, May 31, 2010

Granted, these things aren't going to cool a room, but if you need just a little free breeze --- like I do in my little greenhouse --- these things are ideal.

I wouldn't recommend this particular product. It works but the fan barely moves any air if at all. There are other products out there that can do much better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that effective.., August 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Solar Powered Fan for Room, or Desk Can Mount in Window Room Ventilator with Removable Solar Panel
This moves a minimal amount of air in my opinion... Yes it works... but disappointed in the volume and force of air it moves.. using it more like a vent and again... just not as good as I had hoped.

Not sure why I didn't read the reviews before purchasing this. The fan has no power, even in full sunlight, if I hold it right up to my face I can barely feel the breeze. Fan is about 6" tall.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, May 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Solar Powered Fan for Room, or Desk Can Mount in Window Room Ventilator with Removable Solar Panel
Like many of the other reviews here say, this fan is useless. It doesn't produce any air flow. You can hold your hand against it and not feel anything even though the blades are spinning. Don't bother with this.
