C&Xanadu - Portable Mini USB Fan with 2200mAh Rechargeable Battery 8-12 Hours Working Time Travel/Shopping/Football/Fan for Women - Lake Blue

What a great little handheld fan! I searched and searched for a small fan with a decent battery life that wouldn’t die on me within an hour or so. Surprisingly difficult to find as so many were either too large and cumbersome, taking up too much space than I would want it to, or too small, weak and flimsy to warrant bothering about. I hoped this fan would be a good fit for what I wanted it for, a bank holiday weekend festival in near 30 degree temperatures. It was sweltering in the big top but this little fan was perfect for so many reasons. It’s a practical size, true pocket size, the nifty design is great as the soft blades can be tucked in the slimline case/handle. You get 2 speeds, I didn’t use the slower speed much as it was so hot I needed the extra strength of the quicker speed. It really helped to dry my face and neck, and to feel cooler and refreshed. It easily coped holding at waist height as you would hold a drink, and it was powerful enough to make an effective breeze to cool down without the need to hold it 6 inches from my face. So it’s not obviously noticeable. (Could be a nice solution for ladies with hot flushes, it’s more discreet than wafting random magazines or things to hand.) Those who did spot I had a fan seemed to have one of two reactions, either raised eyebrows with a smile and a nod or a slight scowl of envy from those melting in the heat while my hair blew in the breeze from my neat little fan. It’s very light weight so not a problem to hold for any length of time. And I was impressed with the battery life! I did find if you leave it on for 10 minutes or so at full speed the power did drop off a little and I thought the battery may be running down, but no, switching it off for a minute and restarting it again meant it came back to full speed no problem. I’d use it maybe 15-25 times for 5-10 minutes per time, and never used more than half the battery life! When plugging it in to recharge (with the usb lead) I’d still have 2 out of the 4 blue life indicator lights left. I don’t know how long it took to charge, I’d plug it in along with my phone and leave it overnight. Build quality feels good, it’s sturdy in the hand and the soft blades fit snuggly and securely on the spindle, the cap fits well and never fell off in the pocket in my bag along with other random stuff, car keys, etc. It’s not too noisy, there is a small hum, higher pitched on speed one, and lower and quieter on two, which was better. All in all I’m so pleased I got it! It’s a new handbag must have for me, in this heat anyway! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone and everyone. And I haven’t even got around to testing it in it’s phone charging capability yet. Top buy of the summer!

Fan arrived on time and is a very pleasant colour. It works a treat and provides a powerful blast of cool air. It stores neatly in the case which makes it ideal for putting in a bag. I haven't used it to top up my phone yet so can't comment on that feature. Well made, useful, portable fan. Would recommend.

Really good, compact but powerful little fan with added bonus that it can be used (with the cable supplied) to boost your phone's charge. Packs away neatly so you can keep it in your bag. Battery life seems to last ages. Would recommend.

Very happy with this purchase as needed a powerbank to pop in my bag &why not have added feature of fan when im out! The fan has 2speeds which is powerful, also easy to assemble/remove. I tested the charge &it managed to charge up adequate but not a full 100% battery, so good enough. Would recommend!

Arrived in a nice good quality case. The fan was nearly fully charged so the fan could be used straight away. wanted a compact fan to fit in wifes purse and this does just that. In use the fan is fairly quiet and is powerful enough to do the job. Very pleased with fan, haven't had it long but its been very handy in the heatwave.very.

Really handy for those times you get hot, ladies of a certain age will know what I mean.

Stylish little fan, being a woman of certain age, great for when the tropical moments start!! The on off button could be bit bigger but on the whole it’s perfect for my needs!! 👍🏼

The fan arrived after one day, works really well and is a lot better than I expected it to be!The built in power bank is great and lasts for quite a while, making the product extremely handy for days out to the park, beach or taking it on holiday etc to keep the phone charged.I also love how the fan is easily retractable for when you don’t need to use it.The product is suitable for kids and adults alike and even has a wrist strap to prevent it falling.Would definitely recommend.
