I’ve had a GeekAire 12 inch fan for six years, and it’s been great. They now have a 16 inch and an 18 inch fan.

[@monkeymewmew]

Thanks Steve! Just ordered the 12 and 16 inch. Appreciate your review.

[@melrichardson2392]

Great review thanks love honest reviews.

[@richardt2332]

Amazing review. Thank you

[@kungfusansootsoilihofuthun8895]

Awesome. Keep it in the wind brother

[@MsRotorwings]

I love my Dewalt fan. I just recharge the batteries while I’m driving via a 500 watt inverter and a fast charger. It’s worth the investment. Great camping fan. I don’t have the model with the 110v charging option.

[@connierodriguez5421]

Thanks Ms Rotorwings. The power went out for about 45 min. and now looking for a better battery fan. The charging method recommended is helpful. I have a USB charging port on the charge controller coming from solar panel. Will review your fan closer. Thanks

[@msdella4253]

Thanks for the info…

[@alandavis9697]

Thanks !!

[@SteveOutdoors]

You're welcome!

[@marilynjernigan4673]

This was super easy to set up and hang up. kzbin.infoUgkxclitHMewQyK8ao1RdWQ7Bt5ZZcLG0bWH Fairly quite considering it’s a fan. The versatility is great for me. It gets really warm in my bathroom and this keeps me cool while I’m getting ready in the mornings. When I need it to blow in a different direction I have no problems moving it around. Highly recommended!

[@JavierBonillaC]

Intelligent video. There is so much bull videos. This is superb.

[@SteveOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@williamh1973]

I have both sizes of that fan.both are great. On low air movement is good and super quiet. Can't say enough about these fans.

[@blockkboyz729]

Hello, can you charge and use the fan at the same time?

[@williamh1973]

@@blockkboyz729 Yes you can.

[@dianalynn3959]

In the event of a summer power outage in my home fully electric, I can take a styrofoam beer cooler cut 2 holes one in front side, one in back side cooler, fill it with Large, refreezable ice packs. Place the cooler lid on snug place the fan against the cooler and i have a redneck air conditioner until the electricity is restored. I can cool my small bedroom. It works.

[@heritage_cowboy6568]

That's pretty cool

[@SteveOutdoors]

Pun intended?

[@Oladavol]

Excellent review! Every question in mind was answered, thank you! How does the low setting on this compare to the high setting on the plastic foldable 2 speed fan that takes 6 d's, (02cool maybe)?

[@SteveOutdoors]

I wasn't that impressed with the 02Cool. Even on high it didn't push that much air. This fan is much better.

[@hawaiidogs9277]

[@estevanarizola585]

[@taraaaron1242]

Ty

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Very interesting

[@mattwuxx3888]

I can't sleep anywhere without white noise from at least a 12-19" HV fan. Would be great to do some camping again and be able to sleep through the night. The length of charge when on the high setting is key for me. So based upon what you did here, looks like if I want to get enough white noise to last me 5+ hours, I'll have to pick up 2 of these bad boys and run them both at faster-medium fully-charged, to replicate the same white noise as my 14"-19" on high. Your review really helped. Thanks!

[@ramblingrodriguez3558]

I’m the same way. I’ve also thought about buying an ecoflow power bank. That way I can run a bigger fan of my liking.

VEVOR 40,000mAh Camping Fan,

[@dcfavorite]

I'm intrigued to find out if you can plug in a solar panel and keep this fan going for hours and hours on high

[@TerryManitoba]

As a Portable go everywhere camp fan I use a Milwaukee M12 Fan. It works brilliantly as a cordless very portable a/w plenty of ways to hang it or with the magnetic base or with the sprung clamp. have several other M12 items in the van (light - impact driver - heated jacket- bluetooth speaker - reciprocating saw - air pump - fan) amongst the 1/2 dozen batteries I carry there is ALWAYS a battery at hand that has enough charge to keep the fan going. The same applies for when I use any of the other M12 tools - there is alway a battery I can grab to power it.

[@SteveOutdoors]

I have the same setup with multiple DeWalt tools and fan.

[@TerryManitoba]

@@SteveOutdoors A non M12 fan might do some stuff "better" but for me it is clutch to 1st - never running out of battery 2nd - not having to charge a separate cordless battery - I bought a non M12 vacuum before I got on the M12 track & have a scene how it is a bit of a pain.

[@SteveOutdoors]

I hear ya. Having multiple tools run from the same battery type is very convenient. @@TerryManitoba

[@TerryManitoba]

@@SteveOutdoors I just got back from 5 months in the southwest, I added the M12 heated jacket to the collection. On cooler mornings when I could get away without having to turn on my furnace - I would just slip on the jacket and it worked brilliantly...

[@oreonjackie]

[@crankshaft007]

Did I miss something? Why no noise comparisons? Would be nice to have comparisons to road pro, and the other cordless outdoor type fans.

[@SteveOutdoors]

All I can review is what I have.

[@justinw7323]

Is it enough to block out near by traffic? I live near a semi busy main road that's not a highway but motorcycles sports cars and freight trucks go through. I live near two busy streets. Both always has construction so I see it all. I'm always caught in the middle. And not fun to deal with on long work vacations.

[@SteveOutdoors]

Do you mean the sound? The fan is pretty quiet so I doubt it will block out traffic noise.

[@feddyresendiz1617]

I put mine to charge I don’t see no led light that’s show that is charging ?🤔

[@51nw]

can you use the fan while it is plugged in and charging?

[@SteveOutdoors]

Yes. It’ll run while it’s charging.

[@factsmatter4760]

Hey Steve can the fan run with ac while charging up the battery at the same time?

[@SteveOutdoors]

Yes

[@Green3062]

I researched this fan and I like it but...... I called the company and they told me that the only way to recharge this fan is through the 3 prong 110v plug. If you have a generator to plug it into or a 110v plug in your vehicle then you wont be able to recharge this fan in the woods. I was going to use my back pack solar panels but it will not take them. Your thoughts?

[@SteveOutdoors]

Yes you will need 110 to use this for very long. If I have no electricity I use my DeWalt fan. I have 3 batteries for it. It will last a long time. Check out my other fan video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWGcaKhthKt3q9U

[@alutious]

Will the fan run while charging? Ty. Haven't finished the vid yet, wondering what recharge time is.

[@cantbuyrespect]

@@SteveOutdoors same. I am happy with my dewalt fan. runs for days on low with an 8ah battery.

[@SteveOutdoors]

@@cantbuyrespect Yes I love DeWalt also. I tested it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWGcaKhthKt3q9U

[@sledlen]

dang...I was sold on this little fan, till I found out you actually need 110 to charge....not really and off grid fan. Would of loved to see a version that charges with the use of a USB. anyone know if they make one?

[@SteveOutdoors]

The problem with a USB fan is it's not going to be very powerful. You're looking at 5V vs 110V. You can get a power inverter for you car to charge it.

[@pierpimps]

What are your thoughts on hanging it to use on a rtt? Is it light enough? Or too heavy? Thanks

[@SteveOutdoors]

I'm not sure what an rtt is.

[@pierpimps]

[@Blimeygit]

I was gonna ask the same thing. Can I suspend it from a tailgate style canopy and use as ceiling fan?

[@RafaelGuerreroThe4th]

Yeah but how long does the rechargeable battery last? When it dies, can you replace the battery?

[@SteveOutdoors]

@@RafaelGuerreroThe4th I couldn’t tell you. I did this video two years ago so far it’s still working. But when I’m camping on my motorcycle, I usually take my Dewalt fan because it’s more portable.

[@teno214]

I’ve had it for 2 years now. Still going strong.

Charging on 12 V or is it only 110charging

[@chrishessey9733]

2.42 mins Hours on high? The web site said it will run 8 hours.

[@SteveOutdoors]

I always do extensive real world testing. But after your comment I went and looked at their website. it actually says "it can run 3 - 38 hours" I'm assuming they are saying 3 on high.
