Epica 10" Portable Battery Operated Fan with Adapter

A very versatile fan: indoor - outdoor - window - floor - desk


I'm already a "fan" of this fan
I would have given my eye teeth for this fan two weekends ago when a storm blew down a tree on our street, blocking the street and taking down the power lines, with the power not being restored for more than 24 hours. My in-laws a few miles away had power, but we couldn't drive away with our street closed. The fan would have made us a lot more comfortable in the sweltering heat and humidity.

The noise the fan produces on low is minimal but it can be a little loud on high setting. It's bearable in my opinion.

The fan can lock into many different positions. You can angle it to wherever you need air. I thought that was pretty neat compared to desk fans that just sit in one...
