Holmes HACP7W 7-Inch Clip-On Personal Fan


Holmes HACP7W 7-Inch Clip-On Personal Fan
The HOLMES HA-CP7WUC is found improving life at thousands of desks, garages, workbenches, sheds, boats, and hundreds of other locations. This compact 7-inch fan is the perfect fan for any location that could be improved by a modicum of air circulation. White

Little fans work GREAT

My family uses the little fans to clip to doors in our house to help our air conditioner out....they are great and move a lot of air.

Clip on fan

Absolutely love it. The day I bought the fan to work was the day the AC was down. Everyone wanted to chill at my cubicle. Our cubicle walls are paper thin and the fan was so quiet that my co-worker didn't even know I had it on until they felt the breeze as they walked by my desk.

Coleman Free Standing Tent Fan


Coleman Free Standing Tent Fan

  • Perfect fan for all your camping and outdoor adventures
  • Adjustable two-speed airflow control
  • Tent fan folds easily for compact storage
  • Operates up to 21 hours on 4 D-cell batteries (not included)

    2 Speed, Free Standing Tent Fan, Adjustable Airflow Control, Folds Easily For Compact Storage, Operates Up To 21 Hours On Four 'D' Batteries Sold Separately.

    Fan is Great in a pinch
    I own two of these Fans that we use in our 21 ft. Travel trailer we place as to create a cross wind in our trailer when we are camping with no hook ups and / or do not want to waste our Power on the A/C. It is defanitly a two fan job if needed for a large area. one would be good for a small tent.

    weak and noisy
    This fan produces a gentle breeze that can cool off a small tent on a hot night. And it will run all night at low power on a set of D cells. But after just a few uses it has become very noisy. It still seems to work OK if you can stand the racket.

  • WindChaser Outdoor Misting Fan


    WindChaser Outdoor Misting Fan
    This WindChaser fan takes breezy cool-down to a new level by adding water to the mix. Perfect for hot, dry climates, the fan combines an extra-powerful shower-proof motor with simple operation. Just hook it to a standard 3/4-inch garden hose, turn it on, and sit back. The fan features aerodynamic blades and four misting nozzles angled out from the center panel to direct water into the air path. Capable of cooling outdoor temperature a full 25 degrees F, the fan also cuts down on dust and discourages flying insects. The fan's power panel is straightforward, with covered switches and three separate speeds. The unit can also be used indoors or without the misting function, and a simple pull-button in back stops the oscillating. All of the fan's components are resistant to UV rays and rust, and the three-pronged power cord is structured for safety. The fan head measures 16 inches in diameter and the diameter of the base is 20 inches. The unit is adjustable from 47 inches to 58 inches high. It is UL listed for indoor and outdoor use and comes with four replacement nozzles. --Emily Bedard

    Great for Ooutdoors!
    This is a great outdoor fan and it really does mae those hot summer days more tolerable. However, unless you plan on getting wet, make sure you keep it far enough so that you and your guests don't get misted.

    WindChaser Fan
    We live in Florida and to enjoy our back porch in the summer, this was the perfect answer. I highly recommend it.

    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.

    Lasko 3733 20-Inch 3-Speed Box Fan


    Lasko 3733 20-Inch 3-Speed Box Fan
    20", Gray, Compact Box Fan, 3 Speed Motor, Convenient Carrying Handle, Durable Steel Body, No Assembly Required, 1 Year Warranty, Assembled In USA.

    Moves enough air without becoming super-loud
    This fan works as advertised, and like any box fan makes some noise when running. I do think it's quieter than the cheap Sears fan I bought 5 years ago, but it probably moves a little less air. Airflow is sufficient to cool a large bedroom pretty well though. I'd recommend giving this fan a try...anything with more airflow will become exponentially louder. I'm not sure though that the Amazon fan at this price is much different than the Lasko fans at some large brick and motar stores for somewhat less.

    very nice fan!
    This fan is very quiet and blows a nice breeze. It is not as good as the preimium box fan but I still like this fan. Some people are saying that this fan is loud but I don't see how loud it is. It realy has a nice quiet sound to it and it moves a nice amount of air. GREAT FAN!

    O2-Cool 1054 10" Battery / AC Powered In/Out Fan


    O2-Cool 1054 10" Battery / AC Powered In/Out Fan
    O2-Cool, 10", 2 Speed, Battery Operated Indoor/Outdoor Fan, Up To 24 Hours Continuous Battery Life, Pivots For Directional Air Flow, Sturdy Base For Table Use, Portable & Easy To Carry, Folding Design Saves Space, Operates On 8 "D" Batteries, AC Adapter Jack.

    O2 Cool, powerful fan

    This is an amazingly powerful fan which I just used, when the a/c died 2 days after its arrival! Even in 90 degree heat, it put out a strong breeze which provided great relief. I used an a/c adapter, since I still had power. This company packed the fan VERY well, which I appreciated. I highly recommend both the fan AND the company.

    Sleep in the breeze

    OK, I actually bought this fan last year for a july camping trip and did'nt come back to write a recomendation. Now just back from camping in RI and there was a heat wave, I got home to a bad storm and power outage lasting 12 hours! This fan has been worth its weight in gold! I slept good both hot nights with the fan on low blowing across me. Battery life is good too! Now my Mother wants one for her next power outage. Thanks O2 cool!! Bob- Mahopac, NY

    Bionaire BW2300 Twin Window Fan


    Bionaire BW2300 Twin Window Fan with Remote Control
    With a remote control for convenient adjustment, this double window fan draws in fresh, cool air from the outside or exhausts stale, hot air from inside. It can also do both simultaneously, because each of the two fans can be set independently to draw in or exhaust out, allowing the unit to exchange inside and outside air. Operable either manually or automatically--with its thermostat turning the fans off and on to maintain a selected temperature--the unit has three speeds, electronic controls, and an LCD screen showing the selected temperature and the room temperature. The remote control (two AAA batteries are included) alters speed, manual/automatic operation, air-flow direction, and temperature.

    The twin fan is designed to fit double-hung, vertical-slider, and casement windows. A built-in 7-inch extender and two 3-inch extenders permit custom fitting for windows from 24 to 37 inches wide. Because the unit is lightweight plastic it can be moved easily from room to room. The fans have six blades and measure 8-1/2 inches in diameter. Overall, the unit is 13 inches high, arrives fully assembled, and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

    Great window fan.
    I've had this fan more than a year now and decided to write a review after having bought a Honeywell window fan. I guess I didn't really appreciate this bionaire before I used the other fan, Honeywell. Honeywell window fan is so loud that I can't use it for my bedroom. So I decided to use it for the living room, but now I have to turn up the TV volume higher and get irritated by the noise. But, bionaire's quite and circulate air very well. I really recommend this bionaire fan to anyone comparing between Honeywell and Bionaire.

    Great fan, powerful and quiet, but don't count on temp control
    As others have said the temperature control auto mode is useless. However I didn't buy it for that feature so I don't care. Poor production quality though.
    This fan was very easy to set up and operate. I appreciate the ability to change the air flow direction. The fans are both quiet and powerful. The remote works well.
    Our house is well insulated with 6" exterior walls. Once it gets hot from the sun coming in through the large glass surfaces it is hard to cool off even though the evening outside air is cool. This window fan pulls warm air out of the house allowing us to open windows in strategic places to draw in cool air. The first time we used it it paid for itself.

    Excalibur Electronic FN10BB Winblaster Battery and Electric Operated Fan


    Excalibur Electronic FN10BB Winblaster Battery and Electric Operated Fan
    10 Inch / 2 Speeds / Includes 110V AC Adapter / May also operate on 8 Size D Batteries / Black with Silver Blades

    Works

    I have two of them one of them just stop working, I asked for replacement and I get the new one and new fan works just fine.

    it gives you enough cooling, better then I expected, it might be not enough for desert camping. I am in CA and it is ok. It might stop suddenly so do not trust this machine.

    great fam

    great fan. I have used it with batteries and with cord , works great both ways. has a lot of power.

    Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan


    Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, White
    9" White, 3 Speed Super Turbo Fan, Powerful High Intensity Max Velocity Blades For Dynamic Power, Fan Head Pivots 90 Degrees For Use As An Air Circulator, Recessed Carrying Handle, Durable Base Allows For Wall Mounting Option, 5 Year Limited Warranty.

    Nice Fan, a great price

    this fan moves a lot of air. it is too noisy and ill probably take it back because of that. It has 3 speeds and i wish there were 2 more lower speeds. 2 of the rubber feet were missing and unfortunately it left scratches\dents in my wood floor.
    -my dream fan would Not be made in China
    -my dream fan would be really quiet

    anybody have a better fan for me?

    Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan
    This is a very nice little fan, quite capable of providing airflow in a bedroom. It is very quiet.

    My husband uses Lasko's 4000 OSCILLATING Air Stik Ultra Slim Fan. It's whisper-quiet, great-looking, takes up little table-top space, and works exceptionally well within 6 feet.

    ANOTHER GREAT CHOICE:

    Though it doesn't oscillate, another highly effective fan that offers both a small footprint on your desktop and the option of a clamp, the versatile Lasko Clip Stik Desk Fan, is also terrific choice:

    Clip Stik Desk Fan 2-SPEED

    Clip Stik Desk Fan 2-Speed


    Very nice fan

    This fan is perfect to cool down a small space. On days when the temperatures have dropped some, I love to turn off the AC and open the doors and windows. Even when it's nice outside, it can get very warm inside with AC off. I've discovered that this fan is perfect for cooling off the space I'm in. And, it is easy to move from room to room when needed.

    Hunter 90021 Century 12-Inch Performance Oscillating Fan


    Hunter 90021 Century 12-Inch Performance Oscillating Fan
    Manufactured with the attention to detail you expect from the Hunter Fan Company, the Century Oscillating Table Fan is quiet, and generates an amazingly strong, comfortable airflow in any room. Perfect for home or office! Approximately 15 inches in height

    Great fan

    Nice looking. Quiet. Looks built to last, but we'll see. I haven't experienced the start up issues others have. It move a lot of air too.

    this one's a keeper

    I orderd the floor model and this version from Hunter and have been very pleased. They are beautiful to look at, weighty, as solidly made as they can be and very quiet. The buttons are thick pieces of solid metal. There is no plastic anywhere on these. Their lowest speed is almost inaudible, yet they cool by moving air so efficiently. My friend had no difficulty putting them together for me. They were packaged carefully to avoid breakage. I have one upstairs and one down and my house is cooled wonderfully. Don't understand all the made in China bashing and complaints about degree of diffculty in assembling in all the other reviews. The quality is remarkable.

    Holmes Window Fan w/ Accutemp Plus, HAWF3095-U


    Holmes Window Fan w/ Accutemp Plus, HAWF3095-U
    People who favor fans over air conditioners like to feel a house breathe. A good window fan is a real blessing to a fan person, and doubly so if that fan can be set to blow in two directions. Double the benefits yet again if that window fan has two fan blades, each of which can be set either in or out. The Holmes HAWF3095 window fan has those quadrupled benefits, and then some. There are two 3-speed fans in the unit, each of which can be set for air intake or exhaust, or for air exchange, when one blows in and one out. In addition, there's a programmable digital thermostat and timer, so the fan can shut off automatically when nights get too chilly. And of course there is a simple on/off mode, especially good with the air exchange configuration.

    Air direction is set by using the sliding switches located above each fan blade. The mode button is used to turn the fan on and control the speed. The mode button also cycles through three automatic thermostat settings: Auto High, Medium, and Low. There are two additional temperature adjustment buttons to fine-tune the thermostat to a personal comfort level. In addition, a timer setting allows the fan to be programmed to turn on and off at one-hour increments over a period of as long as 16 hours. The HAWF3095 fits most windows, whether it be a casement, slider, or double-hung style. The fan can function either horizontally or vertically, and there are two 3-inch extenders that can slide on at either or both ends to help tailor the fan to most any window.

    Always unplug fan before cleaning. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild, nonabrasive soap solution. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, or benzene as a cleaning solution; also do not allow water to drip on or enter fan housing. The Holmes HAWF3095 window fan measures 25 by 13 by 5-1/2 inches. (For certain casement windows, a specifically designed bracket may be required; upon request, Holmes customer service supplies this bracket free of charge, along with installation instructions.) Holmes provides a five-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers

    Customer Review: A Toy Fan

    I have had window fans that actually pulled out hot air from a second story room, allowing cooler first floor air to flow upstairs.
    On the exhaust setting this window fan is more like a toy. When it didn't seem to be creating ANY air flow in the exhaust mode, I tested it by letting smoke drift about a foot from the fans. The fans didn't pull the smoke toward them, much less pull hot air from my 8x8 mini office. It might work best as a fan blowing IN, but I needed an exhaust fan. It is one of the more expensive small window fans and I expected it to be more functional.

    Customer Review: Functional, but missing some critical features

    This window fan is perfectly functional, but the absence of some features mars an otherwise desirable product.
    Pros:

    - It moves plenty of air, and keeps my 12'x15' room nice and cool.
    - It has some nice automatic features, like a timer function and thermostat control.

    Cons:
    - Too deep to fit inside my window screen.

    The back end of the unit is surprisingly large, so I removed my window screen. No big deal, right? Well...
    - No dust screen.

    After a few weeks of use, you'll start to notice dust and grime buildup along the path of the airflow. A decade or so ago, I owned a window fan with a removable dust screen that was easy to clean and prevented such buildup. Furthermore, due to the unit depth and lack of dust screen...
    - The front and rear gratings are huge enough to let critters as large as bees in.

    If your fan is not operating continuously, bugs will be able to fly into your house with ease. Either a dust screen or a closable vent would have solved this, but...
    - No adjustable vent.

    You can't direct the airflow, and you can't close the fan when it's not in use. But that said, even if you could close the fan itself...
    - The adjustable length adapter does not sit flush with the rest of the unit.

    This leaves a gap of approximately 3/8" between the window and the sliding adjuster. I taped the gap shut, but it's just another irritating design flaw.
    - Annoying mechanical hum that's louder than the fan noise at low settings.

    The hum appears to go away after an hour or so (either that or I adapt to it), but if the fan is using thermostat control, this noise will be prevalent whenever the fan is running. Speaking of the thermostat...
    - The thermostat with digital readout is just silly.
    Let's face it, the thermostat is built into the unit, approximately four inches from the path of airflow. If the temperature outside is 66 degrees, the temperature inside is 78 degrees, and your thermostat is set to 72 degrees, the fan will turn on, blow for about 15 seconds, 'read' a new indoor temperature of 71 degrees, and shut off, while the rest of the room is still warm. 45 seconds later, the air temperature will equilibrate and the fan will turn on again. While it's nice to be able to control the indoor temperature, the digital readout is inaccurate and unncessary.
    I'll probably keep this fan around for the rest of the summer, and maybe cut a piece of foam or tape an air filter onto the fan intake as a temporary solution, but bottom line? I'll probably hawk this fan to some poor sucker on the first hot day next summer at a yard sale and buy a better unit.

    DeLonghi DFH132 SafeHeat Fan Heater



    DeLonghi DFH132 SafeHeat Fan Heater
    No more worrying about overheating or starting a fire, a ceramic thermal cut-off mechanism shuts the heater down if it's accidentally tipped over or covered with curtains, blankets etc. A dual heat-flow setting makes it easy to regulate. Choose the "hi" setting for 1500 watts or the "lo" setting for 750 watts. And, an adjustable thermostat helps fine-tune temperatures and conserve energy. When winter is over, the fan operates without heat for summer cooling. A built-in handle and wide solid base ensures optimal stability and convenient portability. And, this quiet operator is perfect for any room in the house. An anti-freeze setting automatically turns on the heater when the temperature reaches 44 degrees Fahrenheit. --Brian Olson

    Fan for office

    I bought this as a space heater for under my desk at the office. It works well. The heat comes on every few minutes as there is a temperature adjustment.

    Good heater

    This is a great heater. It cuts on and off to regulate the temperature and does not give off that burning smell that some do. The fan portion is a little weak put is good for a small room or office. Overall, I think this product is worth every penny.

    Holmes Tower Fan HT38-U


    Holmes Tower Fan HT38-U, Black
    3 Speed Settings / Slim, Space Saving Tower Design / High Performance Centrifugal Blade / Wide Area Oscillation / 8.5" x 5.9" x29.5" / Weight 8.36 pounds

    Decent for the Price

    I'm sort of surprised by a former reviewer's title of "Excellent Quality," as I think the quality is average (at best). I bought 2 of these as well as a Lasko 40-Inch Elite Wind Tower with Remote Control, and the Lasko's quality is FAR superior (granted, the Lasko is double the price). These Holmes fans ARE decent for the price though.
    Pros:
    Decent air volume/movement
    Price
    Not too noisy (again, keeping price in mind)
    Cons:
    Controls feel "cheap," and you have to really push the buttons in firmly to change a setting.
    While the base seems reasonably stable, the fans are a bit wobbly at the oscillation joint.
    Not trashing these by any stretch of the imagination, but average quality is a more realistic description.

    Excellent Quality

    This circulates the air around the room just fine. What I look for in a product is build quality. I have had mine for over a year and I never turn it off. It still runs without issues. I only buy Holmes fans because they are long lasting and are priced just right. It is whisper quiet as well.

    Soleus Air FTY-25 10-Inch Wall Mountable Table Fan


    Soleus Air FTY-25 10-Inch Wall Mountable Table Fan
    A good fan can make the difference between a sleepless and a restful night. Soleus Air's FTY-25 10-inch table fan has three speeds and a five-finned blade--five fins move more air than the traditional four--to help make a hot, stuffy room feel much cooler. In addition, it has a timer that can be set for up to two hours; that way the fan shuts off by the time the evening is cooling down. The fan head is anchored on top and bottom like a globe, allowing it 180 degrees of rotation, and the fan grill can oscillate to push air into a wider area.

    The FTY-25 table fan has a modern look to it, with an asymmetrical, crescent-shaped stand that curves around the circular fan head. It's built of heavy-duty silver plastic and has blue-gray detailing. It sits on two rounded feet; there are wall-mounting screw brackets on the underside of the feet. Speed selection is made with a sliding knob on the side, and there's a simple on-off toggle for the oscillation. The timer button echoes the crescent shape of the fan's body; it is marked in 20-minute increments, but it can be set at any point between 0 and 120 minutes. The power cord is 5 feet long, which can be especially helpful when using the FTY-25 as a wall fan.

    To use as a wall fan, mount two screws vertically to a wall at a distance of 7-5/6 inches from each other, and use the two wall-mounting screw brackets in the bottom of the feet. Always unplug fan before cleaning; use a soft cloth, dry or only slightly moistened, and towel or allow to air dry afterward. Do not allow water to drip on or enter fan housing. The 115-volt Soleus Air FTY-25 table fan measures 14-1/2 by 14-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches, with a 10-inch fan head. Soleus Air offers a 1-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers

    Got $20 and need fan? Look no further
    I have to tell you, and with much verve as it were, that this fan is wonderful.
    My old fan was loud, rickety, tall and dusty, dirty, etc...
    I brought in this Soleus Air and I am so happy. This is wonderful in any small office space or bedroom for sure.
    It's whisper quiet, you cannot even tell it's oscillating because it's all done very subtle-like which means it doesn't take up a ton of space having to move the entire head back and forth.
    It's beautiful aesthetically, and functionally.
    The best $20 I spent all summer.

    This fan is so AWSOME it will blow you away!

    This is the best fan I have ever purchased. It is so quiet!! It will really cool you off! I PROMISE!!

    The fan was not packaged properly resulting in the motor burning out before i received it.

    Battery Powered Fan (most powerful battery fan on the market)


    Battery Powered Fan (most powerful battery fan on the market)
    Stay cool when the power goes out with this portable battery powered fan. The battery fan is equipped to operate on 12 volts of battery power or 120 volts from a house outlet. A battery operated fan is a must for hurricanes or when the power goes out. This portable battery powered fan goes anywhere and last for over 24 hours on a set of alkaline batteries.

    save your money

    the hinges broke the second time I opened it.
    Then, there was some kind of short in the circuitry. The fan ran for two second, shut off and never ran again.
    Cheap plastic parts and cheap construction make it hard to pack 8 heavy D batteries inside of it. Don't waste your time or money.

    Save Your Money!
    Don't waste your money on this fan, even if they were giving it away for free! You can wave your hand and get a bette breeze then you get from this fan. I read the review and bought two. You get what you pay for. A tissue doesn't move if you put it about 3 feet away from the fan at high speed.

    Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Base Turbo Fan

    Keep the air in your home, office or workspace circulating and fresh with the HONEYWELL HFT114B Fan. This High Performance Fan features an oscillating base for even air dispersion.

    Great Compact Fan Deal!

    I ordered this fan for my new apartment to help circulate the central air that freezes the bedroom while the living room bakes. It really moves a lot of air and isn't loud at all (sure, it isn't silent, but it isn't obtrusive at all and is actually quite pleasant for sleeping.) I really appreciate the oscillating function because it doesn't squeak and helps for a more thorough air flow. It is also quite compact and sleek but with a decent cord length. The head can be adjusted (and stays put!) and has three functions that offer choice. Really nice little fan!

    good fan for the $

    for the price, this is a good little fan. i've had two of them for a while and they both still oscillate. i would definitely recommend it.
