    I love this little gadget-- love, love, love! Everyone, especially women should own this pocket fan for those moments when you need to cool down. I've been using it on the train after a brisk walk and it works. Who would've thought that this plug in fan has a lot of power. It's great!

    Bought this as a joke for a friend who struggles with hot flashes. She loves it and uses it a lot... in church... at a concert... etc. It's very quiet and gives a small but beneficial air flow. No need to fan herself with a bulletin or program. Wish I'd bought more.

    My daughter wanted this to keep her cool. It is cool but with the phone battery not lasting long I can't imagine using this too often...unless you have an external battery...which she does:) The plug is also the mounting point so if anything is going to break it'll be that.

    Great gadget for your phone. Works great and has a lot of air that is powered by the blades. The only complaint is it does not have a on/off switch, it just comes on automatically. When you plug it into your phone make sure you do so with the blades facing away from your fingers.

    The $5 award I earned from writing these reviews was expiring, so I ended up getting this on my next trip to the local Best Buy (these days, almost nothing in-store costs under $5 except maybe a pair of plain old alkaline batteries, an off-brand phone case, or some cable / accessory that fits anything EXCEPT Apple products!). But now I'm not sure it is even worth the $5 cash I still had to pay. It does work, BUT 1) it doesn't really move much air at all, 2) there's no on/off switch, 3) it doesn't fit in the lightning port unless the phone case is removed, and 4) it's a huge drain on the battery and can't be used while the phone is charging. So, yet one more "good idea" ends up in the pile of good ideas that's accumulating in my junk drawer.

    It’s a fan that plugs in to your phone, so not much to it. So far it works as expected!

    This product helped me in an unusual situation at work when the air conditioning system went out. The pros are it's lightweight, fits in your purse and pocket. It comes in different colors and easy to connect. The cons are, it shuts off after about 2-3 minutes regardless of the fact your phone my be connected to a power cord. It's not that easy to disconnect from your phone especially if the propellers are still spinning. There is no on/off switch and you can't control the speed. This product should retail for $2.00 maybe $3.00 dollars due to all of the cons.

    I was in the check out line waiting to pay for my items when I see this little fan for sell and being in south Texas it's always hot a humid so I decided to take it and it does the job for being a little fan it cools you off using your cellphone so that's a plus

    I plugged the fan into my phone only to have it turn off 30 seconds later. I can plug it back into my phone and get it to run for another 30 seconds, but why?
