Camping Gear ~ O2 Cool Battery Powered Fan For Camping From Walmart

I was in Walmart looking at camping gear and I picked up an 02 Cool 10 inch portable fan from Walmart to go in the Adventure Van for camping. This battery powered fan is very affordable and works great. Lately, I've been looking at a lot of budget gear to test and see how well it works. Why spend a lot if you don't have to.
Here is the Amazon link, amzn.to/2x209vn
I consider it a camping fan for tents but I will be using it in my van mostly. You can certainly use it anywhere you need a breeze. If you need a camping fan for your tent, this might serve the purpose well. It's not going to blow you away but it will circulate the air which is what is usually most needed for comfort. This was the only O2 cool fan at my Walmart and I had passed by it many times, but I finally decided to give it a try. The O2 cool fan is battery operated but has a port for AC. It runs on 6 D-batteries. The O2 company claims the fan will run 40 hours on 6 batteries. My O2 Cool fan did not come with an AC plug, it only has the port on the side of the fan. It would have cost more if it were included. If you are a car camper and have the room to bring a lot of stuff battery operated fans for camping is at the top of your gear list. Camping gear at Walmart is an affordable option for most people just like this O2 Fan. I like to try stuff like this out before spending a lot of money. Sometimes cheaper is better. Walmart is the biggest store in my community and it's the first place I look for discount camping equipment. If you have been researching a portable fan for camping I can definitely recommend the O2 Cool Battery Powered Fan. You will not be spending a bunch of money. This camping fan will not blow the hair off your head but it will give good circulation in a tent or van camping or other tight places and you will be a lot more comfortable.

I own this fan and I measured the current drain. It works on 9 volts. It uses 280 milliamperes on LOW (2.5 watts). It uses 330 Milliamperes on HIGH speed (3 watts). It will run on batteries about 3 nights. It is very quiet.

[@thathikingguy]

During the intro, I thought I had clicked on the wrong video to a hip hop dance instructional video lol. I have had this fan for over two years now and I can confirm the things you said about it. Pretty handy little fan for car camping.

[@jarrenlumpkin5178]

Haha I like the salt and pepper song to Steve and I seen this fan at Walmart as well keep it coming. 😊👍🏻

[@v.eatonhart8146]

Thanks for the fan demonstration...A fan is a very important item to my entire family! Even though I have freezing cold AC, I also have 3-4 fans going at all times. I'm heading out soon to live on the road for awhile, maybe indefinitely? It's been a long time since I bought a battery operated fan but you sold me on this one ☺

[@eastsideeddie]

I stumbled upon your channel looking for people who have an O2 Cool fan and man, you are a hoot!! I like that!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Thanks for that Eddie!

[@christinalapoint4135]

Did u buy the fan? How is it

[@kojakdurham]

I actually take two of those camping with me every time I go. I also have one at my desk at work, as it tends to be a bit warm.

[@wyatteaston1000]

i know I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@judedash9930]

@Wyatt Easton Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@chutamiaminnifield6155]

Cool I am getting ready to build a play house that fan will be great to put in it

[@christinalapoint4135]

Please let me know how it is

[@retnav92]

Not a bad deal. I'm thinking if a small hole (1/4" maybe) were drilled in each corner of the flanged area around the backside perimeter of the unit, and depending on head room and gear loops available, it could be bungee'd in a tent ceiling pointing downward. Just a thought.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Dang it, there you go with that superior brain. A modification may be in order.

[@PayieSulaiman]

you are a swag dancer and singer sir.

[@jaylemiere7283]

Need something this during a storm or power outage

[@bryanflores6747]

Bought this today, i just happened to have a 12 volt adapter cable for nitecore battery chargers, and it's the same fit, i currently have it hooked up to a 12 volt solar system.

[@dailycheikh7759]

For how long can be work after charge ?

Lol this dude is really funny!! Subscribed

Great as always!

Thank you for that.

How do you open the battery compartment!!Help

[@terryomosigho9264]

How do you tell if it's charging?

[@Outwestwithchris1]

You could probably mount that in the ceiling of the van. My kids liked your dance moves, lol.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I've been trying to get my age demographic lower and it appears dancing to rap music is how to do it!

[@Outwestwithchris1]

Adventure Outdoors I think you should do it more and consider actually making raps about the gear you review.

[@joelsweatman1503]

cool looking fan

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Thanks stranger. Where you been?

[@AvoidingChores]

not bad item for camping, but nice portable for working in closed spaces like painting, varnishing in the basement.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I ran it all night while camping in the Adventure Van and it was great to circulate the air.

[@Paul-ou1rx]

How many cubic feet per minute?

[@ronkilpatrick5106]

Your a crazy man. The hospitals here use those fans, if you ask for one, they bring them too you. The one I had lasted for 3 days, running all the time. Was Great.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Yes I'm a bit crazy when I forget my meds. Good to know about the fan. It will not blow my wig off but it will circulate some air.

[@tnwhiskey68]

I was actually going to ask about how long it lasted on 6 D batteries. Thanks!

[@cbreeze5279]

Many comments ,,,many. First, I own that fan and it works great for camping trips. Two, those moves are awesome at the intro and I know someone who may need some back up dancers at some point.

[@pamela8570]

I like it.

[@nonya6012]

Will this keep me cool while driving down here on the coast in the hot 🌞?ac only works where defroster is so this work be a bonus but it gets hot my car. I have to fix ac

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Doubtful. It works great to circulate air in my van while I sleep but I think a clip-on fan to your visor or dash and plugged into your lighter would be better for driving.

[@nonya6012]

@@myadventureoutdoors Thanks for getting back. I am going to return that fan and I bought the clip on fan for cars. I'm just waiting for the ready to pick up notification today.

[@KayakCatfish]

If KZbin doesn't work out, I'm pretty sure you get on the Thunder from Down Under show with those dance moves. I guess Damon must have watched your video since you already have a thumbs down. He probably didn't like your Justin Johnston shoutout even though I'm pretty sure he is the type that would vote for Hillary.

[@hunda21]

I've had mine for 2 days and it either has a short, or Duracell batteries empty really quickly. The fan runs for about 6-7 hours. That's 14 hours at the most, do you think it drained brand new batteries that quickly?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

You have some sort of problem I would guess. Just guessing, I've run mine on fresh batteries for 15+ hours easily. Try more batteries or exchange the fan is what I would do.

[@christinalapoint4135]

Did u try other batteries

[@Bacardibombillo]

No holes or hook to jang. Toooo many batt for the bit air it pulls... rate it junk?

[@MonkeyNAround]

That fan has come in handy before.

[@adventureonwithchris9092]

That's what she said! #IlikeTheWayItPivots 👏

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Booya!

[@eastsideeddie]

No, bro. "It takes 6 D cell batteries." THAT'S what she said.....

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I like that dance! lmao! Sausage gravy! bahhaaaa

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I'm a completely natural and gifted dancer.

[@jessesilvestre7371]

How long will it work till you have to change the batteries? Will it make it all night?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Never tested that. I'm guessing easily 3 nights. Just guessing though. I've used it a lot and still have the same batteries from when I made the video.

[@toochiesmith]

Can I run that on a Cobra 400 inverter easily??? The reason I ask is to go camping in my car soon. I need a fan like that! Thanks for the video as well. You made me smile when you danced.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I just don't know. I put batteries in mine and I'm guessing I can go 3 nights using mine, maybe more.

[@toochiesmith]

@@myadventureoutdoors Okay! Thanks for responding, and I will use batteries.

[@SPCLPONY]

​@@toochiesmith I invested in rechargeable D size batteries from Harbor Freight. 7.99 for 2 in a pack. This fan uses 6 batteries. I lost my instruction booklet and I'm here trying to find out if anyone knows if the wall plug adapter will recharge batteries when the fan is plugged into the wall?

[@sherrybradshaw6504]

How long does the fan operate on the 6 batteries? On high

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I have used this fan for 16 hours over 2 nights before. I guess it depends on quality of the batteries.

[@Swayy-ut2el]

Would two of these keep my car cool at night.?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Would certainly keep the air circulating real good.

[@thatgirlyaz3285]

How tf u even put batteries in it when there’s big ass spaces can someone please explain

[@waytogojonny]

How long does it last with the battereis?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Never did a full test but it lasted over 16 hours for me.

[@bidenwearsdiapers4026]

I knew when you broke out the Hillary hat to test the CFM with the fan, that I was watching a serious scientific review. Lol .. 🤣🤙

[@endofanage223]

HILARIOUS!!!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@SalineScott]

You da man, Steve. Justin knows it and I do too. That's the problem???? He's in so much denial!!! Lol. 😂 😂 😂. I love both of yalls channel. We need to get together and fish sometime. I might learn something from y'all.

[@dorecondenote851]

For how long can you run it on high with new batteries.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I've ran it for about 20 hours on a set of batteries and it could have gone more.

[@zurdoremi]

@@myadventureoutdoors are the batteries rechargeable or do you have the expense of new batteries everytime?

[@douglloyd527]

how long do the batteries last?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Mine lasted for over 16 hours on fresh batteries.

[@robopam]

How long do the batteries last?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I've run the fan 3 nights without changing batteries and still had power. I guess it would depend heavily on the type of batteries you use.

[@blaque843]

​@@myadventureoutdoors what batteries you use

[@willrothfuss8470]

Okay, I didn't see how you could possibly make a 6 1/2 minute video about a fan and keep my attention, but you are very entertaining. BTW, you never showed it on low for the rest of us who don't want to sleep in a hurricane. You also might want to switch to a better quality cigar, lol. What was that little stick? If I could figure how to hang this fan, I might buy it.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Thank you Will. The high speed will not blow a wig off anyone's head but it is good for air circulation. You could put the fan on your face at low speed and enjoy it all night. I love my Backwood Smokes that come 5 to a pack. It's my Clint Eastwood cigar. It's all plastic and you could drill or even glue some mods to make it easy to hang.

[@willrothfuss8470]

Thanks, Steve. I was joking about your hurricane reference to the fan in your bedroom, lol. I was pulling your chain about the cigar. I had to stop buying the packs and limit myself to an occasional special cigar. But the the Backwoods Smokes are all plastic?? Who knew? ( Now I'm teasing you about your syntax :-) ) Seriously, thanks for the review.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

You are a good guy. Check out some of my other stuff, there is plenty where I make a fool of myself.

LOL, I have to do things sometimes to make boring videos watchable. Shock & Awe!

[@marjoriechavez5654]

I need me one I got to get it

[@christinalapoint4135]

How’s the fan? Worth the money?

[@lyonz6165]

It’s says 24 dollars is that right ????

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I may have got mine on sale inside Walmart for $14 but I'm not totally sure. I can't remember exactly. Online it might cost more.

[@zurdoremi]

how long do the batteries last before it dies? You forgot THAT.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Never did a full test but I've run it at least 3 nights (8 hours each night) before the batteries die.

[@zurdoremi]

@@myadventureoutdoors if that is the case, then it is an acceptable life for batteries. Thanks.

[@no_handle_required]

Some things you just can't un-see.

[@marygreen1716]

This fan was crap in my experience.. dies so quickly went through a few days camping and it broke after the second set of batteries

Sorry about that, mine is still going strong.
