“I have one for my baby bag, which comes in handy when waiting for appointments,” said one mother. ‘The air conditioning was broken and the bub overheated, [the fan] was enough to keep her comfortable.”

Some complained that the fan was noisy, but others were less bothered by the downside.

“I bought four of them and I think for ten bucks they are fantastic. My 14 year old son had it on for over an hour and it was still charged,” one mother wrote. “Full speed and fantastic airflow for a $10 portable fan.”

“I bought one, love it,” another added.

‘Great stocking filler!’ Highly recommended, I’m already thinking about Christmas.
