Pros

• Fan functionality is pretty solid. Set your expectation to reasonable levels on how much it cools and you will be fine
• Size is good, it's definitely portable once folded up
• The fan blades are pretty safe - you're not going to hurt yourself with this fan
• The charging cable is USB-C which is great considering that's what our phones and tablets charge with

Cons

• One instance of surprising battery drain (was unusual enough that we thought it was broken)
• Not sure that I would want to rely on the power bank option for smartphone charging
• The kids and grandparents seemed to appreciate having these fans. But I wasn't convinced of their usefulness for a sweaty middle aged man

Go Check it Out

During a recent extended trip, our group purchased several of these portable fans made by Jisulife. We actually didn’t all plan on buying the same fan, but three of us all gravitated towards this one on Amazon due to the price and excellent reviews on Amazon. The fan folds into itself for portability and is roughly the length of a smartphone with the thickness of a small flashlight. The blades are a flexible plastic and are pretty safe – the fan stops automatically when it hits something.

The fan has pretty solid functionality. It has two speed settings and is reasonably powerful for something so small. As an added bonus, it also has a flashlight and can be used as a power bank for phone charging. Although the fan did help cool down the kids a bit during long, hot walks…I’m still not entirely convinced about such a small fan’s usefulness. There comes a point where it seems like those small fan blades are just sort of blowing hot air around. It certainly doesn’t have a similar cooling power to a normal sized fan. If you set your expectation to a reasonable level, this fan is nice to have – particularly for very young kids or older folks. But it isn’t a miracle worker.

We did have one incident during the trip where a fan completely discharged its battery somehow, despite being used the same amount as the other two we were using. We actually thought it was mechanically broken, but recharging set it right again. Other than that one example, the batteries seem to hold their charge fairly well – enough to withstand an 8-10 hour day of moderate use. I wouldn’t consider trying to rely on the power bank feature to charge a phone though. We also found the flashlight operation to be odd sometimes, as it uses the same button as the fan on/off. Overall though, if you’re going to buy a portable fan, this is a good one to purchase.
