Great fan when you have no electricity
Let's talk about hurricanes. Last year, Irma knocked out my electricity for 6 days. It was September in sweltering Florida. No ice. No electricity. No cool air. I had bought an O2Cool fan YEARS ago (it was really cheap then $7,99) for camping. I dragged it down out of the closet and it saved my life! Seriously, saved my life. O2Cool is a great brand and that old fan works SO good. It kept me alive and cool till my electricity came back on. It takes 8 D batteries, so make sure you are stocked up.
Hurricane season just started again. I bought this updated O2Cool fan (it's a little different than my old one - lighter weight, but otherwise pretty-much the same. I haven't used it yet because I haven't needed to. But, I tested it out and it works great. I put it back in the box and will hopefully never have to use it. This one came with an A/C cord (my old one didn't), so that's good for when I do have electricity. The fan would be great for camping or a picnic. It's super lightweight and is slim and would travel well. It has 2 speeds - low and high.
This is a great little fan. The price $26 was a little high, I thought, but I don't care. When you are sweating to death in Florida with no electricity, the fan is worth it's weight in gold! All good. Highly recommend!
