Coleman Tent Fan


Coleman Tent Fan
Magnet secures fan without harming tent material Soft pliable fan blade 16-hour continuous run time Operates on 1 D-cell battery

Mediocre personal fan at best
My family and I bought this fan before a camping trip to South Carolina in July. I was really looking forward to a cool breeze in our tent. Much to my dismay, this puny fan did not provide ANY breeze. Holding it in your hand, 6 inches away from your face, it is a mediocre personal fan. It might work for one-person tents, but for families or hot climates, this isn't worth its weight.

Fragile Blades
I have one of these fans. It worked great until the blades broke off. I got about 4 or 5 camping trips with it. Next time I took it out of the camping chest the blades were broken. Not much good now & don't know how to get more blades. I would suggest instead of this item to find a tent fan with a good cage around the blades to protect them. No chain is stonger than its weakest link, and these flimsy unprotected blades are its weakest link. I would think Coleman could do better than this.
