plus this will actually blow me

damm so fast!
Landfill.
Why? I have one of these, they are nice and discreet and flat
Can you give a link to a big battery made in America version? Preferable stupid expensive price too
@krisspy: I actually own a 'portable' Xiaomi pedestal fan and the inbuilt battery lasted all of 6 months.
I guess we're all living in piles of landfill, judging by the amount of cheap chinese goods people have in their homes
I guess we're all living in piles of landfill
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.
@magic8ballgag: So do you live in a landfill as you put it, or have you figured out a way to replace all the stuff in your home with non-chinese made goods?
@Butt Scratcher: What's your point?
I would bet good money that within the first year, most people who purchase this will either throw it out, or put it in a drawer/box, and then eventually in the trash.
$10 wasted and more useless tech under the ground, all because it's cheap/cool.
@magic8ballgag: You wonder why its hard to not own chinese goods, and have apparently not realised that chinese goods are the norm and is in fact, hard to avoid.
Do you seriously not see the practical use of a fan, whilst owning a fan yourself?
@Butt Scratcher: Speak for yourself, I manage to avoid them and will continue to.

What does anything I have said have to do with it's practicallity?
There's no doubt in my mind it's an underpowered, flimsy fan that simply won't last.
Speak for yourself, I manage to avoid them and will continue to.
Really, is that why you ended up with a Xiaomi fan?
What does anything I have said have to do with it's practicallity?
I'm not the one who said it was useless
Really, is that why you ended up with a Xiaomi fan?
The Xiaomi fan I own wasn't $10, and is still being used every day (it's well over five years old). What does that tell you?
I understand the practicality of a fan, yes. I don't believe this small piece of cheap assembled plastic would replicate that very well though.
@magic8ballgag: It tells me a lot if you are lying about something so inconsequential, to make a point
So you understand the practical use, but it's useless?
Expecting a personal fan to replicate and be as expensive as a pedestal fan, I don't think most people will make that comparison.
Also, what do you think you're buying here? A rocket?
I'm sure a lot of people, myself included own cheaper pc fans that have ran for over 5 years. Chances are, companies know how to make a fan by now
@Butt Scratcher: You seem to be cherry picking words from my comments to suit you.
I don't hate fans or products made in China. I can appreciate value and practicality from both.
I dislike products that don't last but people buy purely because they're cheap.
@magic8ballgag: We are having a conversation, I am going to pull what you say during the conversation and hold you for what you say. So when I see anything inconsistent with what you're saying, I'm going to point it out
So you are aware of its value and practical use, but assume that it is only bought purely because of the price. Are you not seeing the contradiction?
Which btw, is only this cheap because of two stacking discounts they forgot to turn off
Are you not seeing the contradiction?
There's no contradiction, it's not a secret that the price at which a product is sold for directly correlates to it's quality.
Which btw, is only this cheap because of two stacking discounts they forgot to turn off
It's cheap because the RPP is inflated. Amazon is oversaturated with inferior products from China that can often be sourced for their discounted price on other platforms.
I'm talking from experience here, for decades I purchased cheap crap from Aliexpress etc. because it was 'cool' and affordable. They all reached the same fate - rotting away in landfill somewhere.
If you can't comprehend the difference between a proper $100 pedestal fan and a $10 portable battery-operated fan, then I encourage you to continue to waste your hard-earned money and learn for yourself.

Let me remind you what the contradiction is. Its practical and has uses, but you assume people only buy it because it is cheap.

But your pedestal fan isn't is it?

Great, but you recognise this has its practical use.

I'm fairly certain you are the one with comprehension problem. Are you really unable to comprehend the use case of something that is portable and and cools you down?
This might be news to you, but people have made and used such devices for over 4000 years, and continue to do so.
Let me remind you what the contradiction is. Its practical and has uses, but you assume people only buy it because it is cheap.
That's your opinion. Mine is that most are buying it because it's cheap and cheerful.
But your pedestal fan isn't is it?
My pedestal fan is what?
Great, but you recognise this has its practical use.
No, I don't actually. I do however recognise that a proper fan has it's use, and won't become landfill anywhere near as quickly as this will.
I'm fairly certain you are the one with comprehension problem. Are you really unable to comprehend the use case of something that is portable and and cools you down?
I agree, a hand fan would be far more practical and useful than this portable fan. Buy one of those instead!
That's your opinion. Mine is that most are buying it because it's cheap and cheerful.
You are the one who established that a fan has its practical use
My pedestal fan is what?
I quoted what you said so its easier for you to follow. Is your pedestal fan not mass produced and inflated above its manufacture cost?
I agree, a hand fan would be far more practical and useful than this portable fan. Buy one of those instead!
So you agree that a hand fan is enough to have its practical use. But an electrical fan doesn't?
Okay, if that's what you want to go with. It's not like this is the first time you've applied double standards
Is your pedestal fan not mass produced and inflated above its manufacture cost?
What isn't mass-produced at this stage?
I believe you're either trolling or actually just missing the point.
One last time, some things are mass produced on the cheap and are not designed to last (i.e. the fan in this deal), other things (the products I choose to invest in) cost more, and are designed with longevity and quality in mind.
You can keep mincing my words because I offended you and your purchasing decisions, but my point has been made very clear and what I'm saying isn't incorrect.
What isn't mass-produced at this stage?
Did you already forget your argument? You were trying to make the point that it's cheap because its mass produced. But aren't willing to apply the same standard to your pedestal fan it appears. I was pointing out the double standard, in the hopes you could understand, that it is a double standard
Really, this is probably my fault for expecting you to recognise bad arguments instead of explaining it along the way
I believe you're either trolling or actually just missing the point.
You brought up that I have comprehension problems, but you aren't even following your own reasoning.
One last time, some things are mass produced on the cheap and are not designed to last (i.e. the fan in this deal), other things (the products I choose to invest in) cost more, and are designed with longevity and quality in mind.
I'm not going to go through it again in details.
But so far, to try and say this is cheap. You used a false equivalence comparison. A portable fan vs a pedestal fan. Anyone your average person looking at these two products, can see that recognise different use case.
You then try to apply the logic of, cost reflecting the material cost. But don't apply it properly. A pedestal fan that likely costs 50x more in materials, but is not anywhere close to that much more of this. At least try to apply it properly.
To top it all off, the shining example of your quality product is a relatively cheap fan if you actually made the proper comparison.
Laughable
Sounds like my gf
blue one is $18 pink is $13
nice catch on the pink one.
I didn't think it was worth it based on some quick maths.
But it seems like the 25% discount is taken from the original price, then applied to the lightning deal. So you end up with a bigger discount than expected
not a big fan
Just dont get anything stuck in there like i did like a thread of cotton, theres no way to open them.
Looks like the front case can be pryed away from the rear looking at the second photo in the amazon listing. Shows the clips and all which is pretty helpful for tearing it down.
ill have to try that
Perfect for blowing the hot air in your face
You don't know how fans work, Humans have a thin layer of insulating hot air around them, fans remove that layer, and via evaporative cooling from sweat cools the human. The evaporative cooling does not work where there is extreme humidity but still will remove the hot layer of air around hot humans.
You may be confused by fan forced cooking, and believe the hot air blown on the food is what makes it cook faster, but no, it's removing the insulating layer of cooler air around the food. Why does food have cooler layer of air and humans have warmer layer of air, it's because humans generate heat and the food doesn't
if you buy one, it's your onlyfan
