"Strong and Dependable"
I have purchased and used Tiny Tornadoes for years. They are sturdy and produce a strong flow of air. Great for calming hot flashes! I suggested one to a relative who was to visit the Grand Canyon. She claimed it saved her life.

"PERFECT"
I was so very pleased with this fan. Its quite powerful for something so small and is completely quiet. About 8 inches tall including the blade and 2 inches across at the bottom. I sat it on the table in front of me and was cool and comfortable for the entire wedding reception. One D battery has lasted 11 hours so far with no change in output. My fingers have danced with the blades a couple of times but they are very soft and they don't hurt. As I said at the beginning...PERFECT.

"Great Fan"
It works great. It's a bit larger than your usually hand held fan but it's worth the money. I've only had this fan for about a month now so I can't say it'll last a long time. I'll be taking this fan with me on those hot summer days in line at the Amusement Park. It's worth the money. I'll definetly purchase another one.

"Great "
I had one of these fans for years and it was wonderful. I carried it everywhere. Eventually I lost the blades and wasn't able to find another until now. It's a little larger than I would like but is pretty powerful. The fact that you can set it down while it's running is nice and you can't do that with most handheld fans. Personaly I think it's worth the extra money for a handheld fan that will last for years as opposed to a really inexpensive one that will break after a couple of weeks (if it lasts that long).

"Great Fan, a few flaws that blew by me"
I got this fan to replace a small camping tent fan I was using. This fan seemed perfect after looking around at others. The fan arrived to a very excited customer, me, and I put it together.

The outer shell is removable, and had a belt clip on it which is handy for carrying outdoors activities. Once removed, the fan is just a slim plastic cylinder with a screw off bottom lid for the battery insertion spot. It does seem a little...cheap once the cover is removed. If you dropped it without the shell, I wouldn't be surprised if it cracked.

Once turned on, the fan has a low hum, not real annoying. It has only on and off setting no speed setting. The fan itself is rubbery, and doesn't hurt to touch, I've had a 3 year old touch the fan wings while it was running on fresh batteries and simply giggle, then made a game out of it.

The neck glides a full half circle ALMOST. So you can turn the fan to point directly at you at 90degrees, and without turning the actual fan, you can make the fan point in the opposite direction to almost 90 degrees also, behind hindered a little by the belt clip in that direction.

The suction cup is...well...I havn't really noticed it working at all. I guess if I wetted it or really worked at having it suction it'd be okay. Though, I have no use for the suction cup as of yet.

In my estimation, the battery seems to last 3 - 4 hours, slowly dwindling in speed as time ticks. My biggest complaint is sometimes the fan needs whacked or the wings manually started if the battery is getting a little low. As if the motor needs a little jump start, it's either cause mine is defective or just how it is. It is a small motor after all so somewhat expected. Either way, I use this fan often and love it. Took it to the state fair recently, it was used the entire time and kept me cool. People were jealous!

The fan that needed whacking or turned to start was defective. That is not normal. I have had to replace this fan a couple times because I wore the motor out accidentally etc, but I still use the fan often and am still a fan of it after many many months
