Many also found the price to be reasonable and the noise level acceptable.

    Stopped working on my way home from the store. It only works for about 1 minute before you have to unplug it and plug it back in. It has no on/off switch either. Great concept, just poorly manufactured

    Great idea and perfect size, however, mine doesn't even stay on for a minute when it automatically shuts off. I have to be plugging it and out in order to have it moving

    Got this as a gag gift for someone who is always hot. It doesn't work very well, and you kind of have to hold it in a certain spot in order for it to work. Oh well, I got it as a joke, so I'm not too upset about it.

    Kids enjoyed the toy for the first few days, but now it is in the drawer. It quickly drains phone's battery.

    The fan works for about 2 days. Then it won't work after that. Don't buy if you want it to work.

    It does the expected job and provided a decent breeze. However it is not very sturdy and broke after the first use.

    My wife had it out of the package by the time we got to the car, and plugged in. By the time we got home, she was already regretting the purchase. The fan wouldn't stay on consistently, and then her iPhone showed the "this device isn't compatible with iphone", which in her experience meant it was going to eventually stop working altogether. Returned the fan the next day.

    This was an impulse buy for my daughter. She thought it was cute but wasn't really going to use it.
