Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not what I was hoping for I really wanted to like it but the force of air was weak on the highest setting and with a small water container that constantly needs water

Here is my review of the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Fan, Model FA052 upon which I rate at 4 out of 5 stars. Out of the box the fan in fully assembled and comes with an A/C charger. Please ensure you fully charge the fan which my take up to 3-hours if fully discharged. The fan has a nice sleek design, no phone apps to use, a well-positioned and balanced carrying handle, and detachable base/stand to aid in packing if so desired. The base/stand tilts upward to 45-degrees and downward to 10-degrees. The fan comes with a quick start guide and by scanning the QR code you are directed to view very helpful videos on the fans options to include cleaning and maintenance. The fan has all the operating buttons located on the top of the fan chassis. The 3-buttons are as follows, On/Off, Fan Speed, and Mist. The fan has 6-speeds 1 through 5 plus a 6th BreezeBoost Mode with indicating LED lights. The feature that makes this fan above others is the misting function. Simply open the water reservoir cap and fill with plain tap water until you see the tank window is full. The misting option provides up to 30-minutes of mist on the steady misting option or up to 60-minutes with the interval misting option. The fan operates both on A/C power or on the go using its 4000mAh internal battery—this is a BIG plus. The battery runtime is as follows, speed-1 = 12-hours, speed-3 = 4-hours, speed-5 = 1.5-hours all without the mist option. The fan specifications state it provides over 70-feet of cooling power at its highest setting, while in BreezeBoost Mode. Upon my findings, I could not replicate that distance of cooling while indoors. The best I could feel in my use was 30-feet indoors and 20-feet outdoors due to crosswinds/breezes. As for the misting option, it is designed for use no further than 4-feet from your body as the water vapor is very fine. The fine mist is designed as such to create a 5-degree cooling option and also to prevent the pooling of water when used indoors. Upon the use of the fan, it is VERY important to note this is a PERSONAL use fan and not for multiple people or to be used to cool a a large area as it has a fixed base/stand without oscillation. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and it helped in your purchasing decision.

I love this fan …. I have the regular sized one also perfect for any size room

So i purchased this shark misting fan over a month ago. And let me tell you i freaken love it. I just wish the battery was a little bit more better. It last 2 1/2 hours on high. For the price and size it shoud have a way bigger battery. But beisdes that im in love.

I bought this for myself as a promotion gift, my new position requires me to be outside a good bit during the hot summer Georgia months. We got to use it finally outdoors this week and it was money well spent!

not bad way too expensive though i wish it was a little more powerful for its price point.

It's great for cooling off in the summer, but the battery runs out quickly!

Great airflow, battery just didn't last long enough for what i needed.

Very good rechargable fan, i recomend this ítem for sure

The Shark FlexBreeze fan is small and compact. It isn't too heavy but it weighs enough not to tip over when in use. It's adjustable and easy to carry anywhere with you, and would be perfect for travel. The speed settings are easy to use and work pretty well. The lowest setting is very low and the breeze can't be felt very far. As you increase speed, you get a nice stream of air flow without the noise most fans have at a high speed. The highest setting can cool you off pretty good in small spaces, but I'm not sure how it would do in a larger area. The misting feature is great and really helps to cool you down even more than just the fan alone. It's easy to fill up and use but the more you use both functions, the quicker the battery runs down. When using the fan by itself, the battery lasts for a while. It's easy to charge and charges pretty quickly. There is a light that indicates the battery level so you know when you need to charge it. Overall, I'm happy with the fan and will be using it often. It'll be great to take to the pool this summer.

It’s quiet and does blow up to 10 feet. Cordless on a charge only lasts 2 hours if that. But it’s better to leave it plugged in.

Easy to use. Easy setup. A must have on these hot summer days. Would recommend.

So I have two I have a pink one from the actual Shark site and this black one from BB and it's been almost a month and it's making a rattle noise and nothing is inside and I haven't used the mister yet.. my other one doesn't make any noises

The Shark FlexBreeze Fan’s best feature is that it can be charged for cordless use, optimizing it for portability. It’s small, but if placed correctly, it’s a very nice personal fan. The battery life is great and the misting feature is nice outdoors. It can’t compete with natural wind, so I do find that it works its best indoors, however it’s still a nice outdoor companion. Battery Power I was able to use the Shark FlexBreeze for 5 hours and 20 minutes nearly continuously (I turned it off and on right away to check battery power a few times, but I only lost a few seconds of use, the run time was very close to continuous). At 9am, I turned it on to fan speed 1, then at 10am I turned it to fan speed 3 and kept it at 3 until the battery ran out at 2:20pm. The battery power will come in handy this summer if I want to take it to the beach or the pool. I also wanted a battery powered fan in case of power outages. HydroGo Misting The mist feature is refreshing because it does make the fan wind even cooler, but the threshold is about 3 or 4 ft. The hot weather is where the misting feature can come in handy, but the fan stands no chance against mother nature. A little underwhelming when the fan direction and mist are carried away by a light wind or natural breeze. If you’re thinking that you don’t need the fan if there’s a breeze out, you’d be wrong where I live. It’s a very humid and hot city so even if there’s a “breeze” in the summer, chances are it’s not the nicest natural breeze. The other thing to note about the misting feature is that if the water level is at a quarter tank or lower and the fan is tilted up, the misting might sputter and not work as well. There’s a little bit of maintenance as you have to remove all the water after use and keep the tank door open for 24-hours. I find that running the fan with the tank door open helps dry it out. Fan Power There are technically 6 speeds to choose from, speeds 1 through 5 and the 6th speed is called BreezeBoost, which on battery power doesn’t last nearly as long as the other speeds (advertised 20 minutes). The good thing is that the FlexBreeze fan works plugged in, so you can experience the benefits of all fan speeds for as long as you like if it’s connected to the charger. Fan speed 1 is very light, you have to be indoors and right up on it to feel it. Speed 2 is alright. Speed 3 is where things start feeling very nice. Speeds 4 and 5 are nice and strong. And of course BreezeBoost is pretty powerful, but can drain the battery way more quickly. Final Thoughts This fan by Shark is small but mighty if placed optimally and worked well for me in the right circumstances. I love that it works both corded and cordless. It is very convenient to have a portable, battery powered fan but I do wish it worked just a little better outdoors. Nonetheless, I’m happy I have it.

Very convenient way to pour water in. Not enough power on the fan or mister unfortunately. Overall a decent fan/mister but better options out there at this price point.

This fan is good but not great. It works as advertised but my unit seemed to leaked water. Also, battery life could be better.

the fan works but like others have mentioned, dsoes not last long on battery. The biggest problem though is that the water container is small, only mists for 10 minutes and stops, and you have to pivoty the fan down for it toi continue to mist. But after I used it twice the mist stopped completely

Wasn't exactly what i thought it was going to be. It does help but it doesn't blow up to 70ft.

Not as powerful as i hoped for almost 100 bucks. I think the offbrands may be better.

The fan is OK but for the price i think it should be a lot stronger for these summer days. You litterlt have to hold the fan in your face to be able to feel it. And the boost function is good but drains the battery way to fast. Is good but not an outdoor fan. Barely an indoor one.
