Geek Aire 12" Portable Battery Operated Fan with Metal Blade, 360 Vertical Tilt, 24h Run Time Cordless Fan for Camping Travel Tent Hurricane Home

I am updating my review 07 20 2023. I am so glad I gave this unit a chance and glad I didn't return it. I have run it on the lower speeds for days now and have gotten up to 17 hours of run time before having to recharge. And it recharges quickly, about 2-3 hours. It is ideal for use in my kitchen where things get a bit heated while preparing food as I said in my previous review. It sits on the corner of my island and I just switch it on. And it is the quietest fan I have ever owned! I moved the rating to five-stars. Okay, the listing says this " This rechargeable floor fan can run up to 20 hours after a full recharge". So, I charged it overnight and turned it on to the highest setting at 6:00AM. It ran until shortly before 11:00AM. So, about 5 hours on the maximum speed. Not exactly what I was going for but I discovered this portable fan is going to work on my kitchen counter with no cords to trip over. I get warm preparing food and whatnot and I placed it on the corner of my island and found a use for it. It is very quiet even at the highest setting; that is a plus; as I said, there is no cord to trip over and I get a nice breeze while working in the kitchen even tho I have a ceiling fan in the adjacent dining area. I have it charging right now and I am going to run it at a lower speed to see how many hours I can get on the next charge. But I fail to see how this unit can run "20 hours" even at the lowest speed but I will report back on my review once I have use it at various speeds to let potential customers what they can expect with the unit. So, no return.

Quiet! Portable! Good battery life. Very happy with purchase!

Before I actually rate this fan honestly, let's address some of the reviews- like the absolute brainiac Einstein of an electrical engineer who did a tear down and said the fan isn't 12,000mAh but really 2,000mAh, showing the battery pack with the label "2,000mAh". I wish I could respond to his review but Amazon doesn't allow that---- the 'battery' inside the fan isn't 2,000mAh, it's 6x 2,000mAh 18650 batteries run in series wrapped together. You know what 2,000 x 6 is? 12,000mAh. So don't listen to that review. Who cares if the battery is "floating" inside or whatever. The fan wasn't built by NASA or NOAA, it's a Chinese made fan with a battery attached. Now, this is where a buyer should pay attention. At the lowest setting, which barely creates enough of a breeze to dizzy a mosquito, it will last you quite some time. At the top power level it does kick up a nice gust. The thing is, I didn't buy this fan to plug it in and catch a nice breeze. My wife and I bought TWO of these fans because we live in Central Florida. We have air conditioning for the heat, but when we get slammed by hurricanes we have no power. This fan did a decent job when we got hit in 2020 and lost power, but at the highest setting it didn't last the night. And that's ok. It's rated at 12,000mAh and we had it turned all the way up. Now we have a son and he takes priority, so we bought a second one for us. Truthfully I wish it lasted longer. But I can't take off a star because I wish it was a 20kmAh or higher. I bought it knowing it's 12k. However, we have since purchased a massive battery bank - and I don't mean ones that charge your phone - I mean one that can charge your laptop, another laptop, and 3 phones as once. I'm no electrical engineer so idk what the wattage/voltage draw on this is but it did dent our battery pack by about 15% after a full 9 hours at 100%. If you're buying this for some outdoor event for a few hours, have at it. If you're buying it to run it on low in a portable setting, have at it. But if you're like me and my wife, buying multiple different sized fans from different manufacturers, specifically for a power outage then just understand it's actual capacity and capabilities. Again, I wish it lasted longer but you can't buy 6 eggs when the recipe calls for 12 and be mad at the grocery store. This fan is what it is, but don't expect some miraculous 15hr drain on high. I think we got 6.5hrs on high, tops, which is great when we're in muggy Florida with no power and the house surges to 87 degrees at night during a hurricane. But once it's dead, it's dead - which is why we got the massive power bank. 5 stars. It's a 12 inch fan, it moves air well, it has a battery backup, and we got what we paid for. Period.

We have purchased a few of these fans and as long as the fan doesn’t have an issues then you should be set. The problem is If there is any issue with the fan, this company absolutely does not stand behind their ‘warranty’. One of our Geek Aire fans stopped charging. Seeing as how it is a ‘rechargeable’ fan, that was a big problem, My husband emailed the company about the issue and we waited for a response. After several weeks of waiting, I located the company’s phone number and contacted them that way. By that time, we were 2 days past the 1 year warranty. The representative had me send an email with the pertinent info. I received an odd response stating that since I stated that I purchased the fan in 2021 (😳?!?-no I didn’t) it was out of coverage. I immediately responded reiterating that I purchased it in 2023, NOT 2021. I received no response. I then attempted to call several more times over the course of the following week, but would get sent to a voice mail box that was too full to accept messages. I eventually was able to reach a representative again with whom I explained the issue. She said she could see that I actually purchased the fan in 2023, not 2021, but it was outside of the warranty. I again explained that we had contacted them within the 1 year warranty. They just hadn’t responded to us within that time period. She then asked what email we had written to and stated that they didn’t have access to that email. I pointed out that the email we used was the one listed on both the Geek Aire website and Facebook page for customer service. She then just started repeating over and over, ‘Sorry, it has already been declined’. I asked repeatedly to speak to a manager or someone else that could assist me if she wasn’t able to, but she just continued to say, ‘Sorry, it has been declined’. Then she hung up on me.

These are great, low-intensity fans. They’ll move a little bit of air for little a while, but their utility lies in portability, not volume of air moved. LED display on the rear housing lets you instantly see how much charge you have left, even from a distance. Recharges pretty quickly. Fairly quiet.

De muy buen calidad, la recarga de la batería dura bastante

El ventilador llego inutil. desde que lo saque de la caja no funciono. La bateria no se carga. Es un producto caro no vale la pena
