Tiny Tornado II. Heavy Duty Handheld Fan. Standing Option. Built to Last., Titanium, Small

Won't ever be without one & spare batteries. Great for storm shelters, car rides (when passengers have different definitions of air movement) and air travel (suction cup bottom allows me to stick it to tray, small enough to hold or prop against window, great to oscillate with my row mates (when no air is moving or to get perfumes away from you if allergic), hot flashes (inevitable menopause for us ladies) and quiet enough to use at work (take two - one for air movement & other to push offensive odors of perfumes, hair products, dryer sheets, food smells away, etc). Long lasting, except in the hands of children aged 2-4.

This little fan really moves a lot of air to the point that I wish that it had two speed settings. It is also whisper quite and the blades are safe to touch. Don't be fooled by cheaper "mini fans" that don't work well and are usually of poor quality. This fan has an excellent quality build to it and felt very sturdy in the hand. It is larger than due to the use of a D cell battery but the outside sleeve and clip is removeable which makes it much slimmer to hold. I haven't tested how long it will last on one D cell battery but with rechargeables, that shouldn't matter too much. The fan part is adjustable and can be set at various angles with 7 "click" points. The suction cup at the bottom is strong but I would not recommend it on vertical surfaces unless it is smooth like glass. Even there, it would stick for about 15 minutes before falling off. I think you would be pleased with this fan.

THE FAN BLADE KEEPS FALLING OFF! When the fan blade is at a 90 degree angle (from the fan base), it keeps falling off immediately after being reattached to the fan base. Even when the fan blade is pointing straight up from the fan base, it also falls off within minutes! IT’S VERY FRUSTRATING AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING! For the very short time when the fan blade remains attached to the fan base, it does provide a good breeze.

I used to have one similar to this one that I bought from Brookstone many years ago as a kid and I was hoping this would be the same as that. Not a bad little fan, but a bit disappointed in the build quality. It's not overly noisy, but it's not exactly quiet either. In a silent room, other people will be disturbed by the level of noise the motor generates. The one I used to have was almost completely silent running and the power switch was not as cheap either. I would not recommend this if you are looking for a regular desk fan. Unless you need the suction cup for some purpose and don't mind the noise, there are almost certainly better options out there.

I use these fans for when we have power outages here in FL, and I also use it on my nightstand when I get hot flashes at night...it's silent, so it doesn't wake you and puts out a lot of air circulation. It runs all night with no problem. It uses a single D battery, and I can say that the single D battery works in these fans much better than those others that use double or triple A. This fan is very useful and great battery life. They do have a suction cup, but they won't hold on a vertical surface. They are mostly good to keep them from falling over if on the nightstand. Handy little fan to have, works well, and I keep buying them because it's the best of the bunch if you have a hurricane.

I'll admit...I got this for flying as I hate it when I am sitting on a plane that is waiting for passengers or cargo or clearance and there is little to no air being emitted from the passenger vents. I used this unit just recently in May 2008 on a trip to and from Duluth, MN. I found it to be most useful and beneficial....ALTHOUGH, I would like to see a speed adjustment for this unit - both FASTER and slower. It is nice that the fan blade easily comes off (not TOO easily) for storing and that it has a GREAT battery life, thanks to the 'D' cell battery. That adds a little heft but it is great for long use without changing the battery. It is nice that the 'head' swivels up and down for positioning as well as side to side. The suction cup on the base is mediocre at best and should not be relied on for stability. But, all in all, it is a great unit for the price and very well made.

I purchased this little fan for a friend who is always overheated and it works great. It uses a single D cell battery which seems to power it for a long time up to 24 hours according to the literature. It's made in Canada so it is not cheap and it appears to be sturdy, durable and light weight. The soft plastic blades pose no risk or danger except maybe if someone makes the unfortunate or stupid mistake of sticking it in the eye. Since the fan is powerful there is really no need to use it close to the face. It has a clip to fasten to an auto visor or other secure place. Read and follow the simple instructions on first use and you and your fan are as good as gold.

Been using this for years .

This is my second set of two fans! They lasted a long time on a battery! I have forwarded your site to a friend so she can order also! Best portable fan ever! And I've tried a few!

I think something made in China is much better. I bought it because made in Canada, but the quality is made in India feels like.

Bad smell for plastic cover & base.

I love these small but powerful handheld fans. They are great to have on standby on a side table or nightstand for hot flashes, and they fit in the drink holder of the treadmill in my gym for extra comfort while exercising. Only concern is that I go through one of these every 2 years before they stop working. For the relief I get, it’s not so much the cost of buying a new one, but I don’t like throwing these into the landfill and wish they lasted just a bit longer.
