Coghlan'S Mini Fan

We needed a small fan to use in a torch decoration for a Cub Scout dinner so that the "flames" would move in the airflow. We tried several different ways to make this work and this fan was perfect! The torches worked and got a LOT of compliments.

I bought 3 of these in the last 1.5 years and they work very well. It requires 2x double "AA" batteries. Yes, the better the battery, the better the power supply and airflow you will get from the plastic blades. I found the one dollar versions at the one dollar stores, assorted colors, but the motors stopped working after heavy use, but this Coghlan branded version seems to be running very well. The only negative- it comes only in only yellow and looks like a banana, so if you want a different color, spray paint the plastic chassis. I saw similar motors online, therefore it should be easy to replace, if it fails. It works amazingly on hot and humid days. Great for vacations, work place, game days and even a walk at the park. Perfect cool-down mini-fan after a good workout and it can cool down electronics as well, too! I took the mini-fan on a vacation to NYC/Statue of Liberty trip again, and most of the people were staring it at in line while waiting for the ferry ride to the island. Some even asked where to buy one. Weather wise- it was a burning hot afternoon! Hated the weather, but loved the fan- durable and works perfectly! I'll be buying more of this soon! Hopefully, there will be assorted colors for this soon!
