13 Best Battery Operated Clip On Fan (2022 Updated)

I have really liked this fan so far and have used it both while sleeping and while golfing. I generally run hot and during these summer months in Texas, I need all the help I can get to stay cool. At night, I will clip the fan to the headboard of my bed and direct it at my head.

It’s helped me stay cool through the night. It can also sit on the nightstand. I just plug it into the outlet using the USB cord and a power cube. When I have taken it golfing, I will clip in on the golf cart and use a portable battery to plug the USB cord into.

It works well and provides a nice little breeze on a 100+ degree day. This thing can really be used in all sorts of situations if you have a portable power bank, like clipping to a stroller for a small child, using it while camping, clip it to your chair at your kids sporting events, etc.

Would recommend for anyone trying to stay a little cooler.

I received this fan in exchange for my unbiased review of the product. This is such a practical fan to have in your work space. I work from home, and sometimes the area heats up enough for a little breeze.

Clips onto your desktop using the clamp or clip. This is just right, because it is powered with your usb connection in addition to batteries. So you can take it with you, and is great for on the go uses.

I have clipped it to a desk, kitchen cabinet, and to a baby stroller. It produces just enough breeze to cool you off, which is greatly needed in warmer climates. Swivels 360 degrees, cooling off the area instead of just being stationary.

This is the fan that you never thought that you needed, but are so glad that you have one.

I wanted something I could clip on my nightstand at night for more air on me and not on my husband. This is a cut little fans, puts out the right amt. of air, thinking of bringing to the gym during work outs bc the head swivels like all over the place and no plug needed.

this little fan last a long time with just one full charge. love it im buying another for when im outside to keep mosquitoes away and when its humid hot for fresh hair. I strongly recommend this lil guy.

I have been looking for a great quality portable fan for such a long time, and this is it! It puts out strong air.

Super light, very quiet, solid lasting battery, dual charge ports. Strong clamp and fast wind! We liked the first one so much we bought 2 more! Old electric fan started making too much noise, saw this fan on Walmart,and decided to take a chance.

I am very happy with how it works, it will run two nights on medium before needing a charge, and it blows well. Will be taking it camping!.

I use two of these when I’m working the Farmer’s Market in 100 degrees. They blow hard, they’re quiet enough to still hold a conversation without turning them off, they attach to the canopy or stand up on the table, and the batteries hold their charge through the whole market.

Every time I’ve used the fans, my market neighbors have asked me to send them the link, so they can get some as well. Good products are really worth sharing.

Summers in Texas get so very hot. The heat combined with the humidity are certainly not ideal for little ones especially ones whom sweat fairly easy. The DreamBaby Deluxe EZY-Fit Clip On Fan was perfect for my needs and nicely kept my little one cooled during small outings transporting to and from the car.

The large clip is great as it securely clips the fan onto my stroller. The soft foam blades and spin speed are just right so I don’t have to be concerned about any injuries. I was pleasantly surprised how well this little fan actually circulated the air.

For its small size, it certainly delivered pushing a decent supply of air. The battery life is good and seems to be sufficient thus far. My only concern is the durability of the fan blades as my little one grows.

The foam blades can easily rip once it becomes more reachable to her. She doesn’t currently reach or try to pull at the fan, but this will change as she grows.

Brilliant little fan. Does the job. I find batteries don’t last long, but that also depends how much you’re using it. Would recommend. Just a tip – sometimes the fan blades can get stuck on the stem and you think the batteries are dead, but if you pivot the fan away from the stem it starts working again.

Great for strolling with an infant in the hot summer months! Definitely difficult to install batteries unless you have a small jewelry/eyeglass screwdriver. Otherwise it’s a breeze!

I didn’t want to buy a cheap crappy handheld fan like the ones you find in the shops. They don’t work and are a waste of time. Looked online for the best handheld fan and this was one of the ones that came up.

I love it, I take it to work with me. Its lightweight, folds up nicely. You can use it straight away as the battery is already charged and then when you need to recharge it, you can use a standard phone charger.

It sounds loud when you’ve got it close to your face but its actually very quiet. All in all well worth the money. Definitely recommend.

This fan saves me, regularly. Its small and quiet for a fan, and surprisingly powerful on the highest setting for its size. Being able to prop it up on a desk or hold it on my lap while driving is very useful.

I take it everywhere and highly recommend it. Ive used it regularly for a week and only just needed to charge it. Great product.

Just what I needed as I cant function without a fan in hot temperatures. Easy to use, there is a battery and a seal to pull out for the battery to start working and you press the on button and the fan functions.

Its a three speed hand held, using the same on/off button. I still havent had to charge it but there is USB supplied to charge. Ready for my Israel trip and I am happy. Arrived in time as estimated. No postage.

The Saxz fan that I’m replacing was charged by a usb cable and it’s battery simply couldn’t hold a charge any more. I found the size, price and aesthetic of this fan to be perfect for my needs. When it arrived I discovered that it runs off two alkaline D batteries.

Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with a battery operated fan. With fresh batteries this fan puts out a strong breeze I could feel 10 or so feet away. I’m not keeping the fan because I want a model with rechargeable battery/batteries.

I was looking for a small fan for my mid-summer car camping trips. I bought this one because it used D-sized batteries, a size which I already use in other camping applications. It is as advertised. I expect it will provide a subtle breeze in my tent,enough to sleep on sweltering evenings.

It is as far from robust as possible. To be clear: if the plastic was any thinner, it wouldn’t work. It will not take any type of abuse without damage. But for the price I will pack it carefully between uses and be careful while it is in use.

I hate to do this because the seller was outstanding w svc. but this fan is truly pathetic. It requires two D batteries, thus 3v but better current than AA etc but it has absolutely no force. Unless you live in an area, where you get no breeze, then you would understand how pathetic the air flow is.

Yes it is a quiet fan, but that is coupled with very little air flow as mentioned. All I needed this to do was push a slight amount of air in order to push cool air around the back of a wood burning, fireplace insert.

In short to push cool air approximately two and a half feet. Quite simply it doesnt measure up. If all you need it do is move air at your workplace desk, I have to say that it wouldnt be able to perform that meager job.

By the way, yes I tried multiple, new, D cell batteries and had the same poor results. Do yourself a favor and purchase a mini fan that uses standard AC or at worst shop diligently for a decent USB fan.

After all you cant do any worse at 1/3 of the price.

Thrilled with this fan. Amazing! Love it! Stays charged for hours.Fits in my handbag. I use it constantly.

Very good quality fan. The low setting is really quiet. The medium and high settings are powerful.

I just received this and Im having problems with it getting unhooked from this clip and the fan head just falls off. I put this on top of the headboard on my bed as it gets really stuffy esp during summer season.

But when i rotate it you have to hold on to the base so it wont fall off. Its not quiet at all. My bigger stand fan is quiet, this one is certainly not. But it gives good air, so thats why I gave it 2 stars.

But its annoying how it can easily fall off from the clip. It does lock it in place. Wish I can return but since its stay at home order, I cant even go to the post office to drop off return items, so I have to keep it.

I just put a tape to hold it in place, hopefully it doesnt fall on our heads.

My old clip-on fan stopped working, so I decided to get a new one. It was a good price online. There was only one issue that I had with it. Since it can be used as both a clip-on and table fan, it is easy to switch between settings.

I only needed it as a clip-on fan. So, as I rotated the fan, it kept coming apart. I had to use clear packing tape to stabilize the fan. It would have been nice if there were a couple screws inserted to make the fan more stable.

When I read the other reviews for this fan I was wary becasue many mention the noise. Relax, the noise is just fan noise and to be honest I don’t even hear it anymore. Its a good fan.

I was seriously hoping for more out of this fan. For just under $20 I would’ve thought it might have had some heft to it. When the package came I honestly thought the box was empty, only to open it up and find this chintzy piece of equipment.

I bought it for my daughter to bring to college and haven’t heard any complaints out of her.

I keep at least one of these little fans going all the time. I tried finding one in local stores, but they are “out of season”. Ordered them from Office Depot and decided to order a spare. just to keep on hand.

Perfect.

Its ok. A bit heavy for me. Im old and have a hard time with the clamp. But it really does cool nicely.

For the price its a very nice fan. Plenty of power for the size. Sturdy clip on also. I bought a 6″ at another store for $5.00 cheaper and it was just that. No power. I’m satisfied.

Upon opening the box, I found it was broken. It will need to be returned. I had noticed in the other reviews that this had happened before & had just attributed it to an isolated incident.

I meant to write a review earlier but the good news about waiting is you get to hear what several months of use is like compared to if I just received the item and quickly wrote about it. 2020 has been a heck of a year.

I bought this in the beginning of summer. I have purchased many battery powered fans over the year and have always been disappointed, even by the best one. Finally the battery power (this fan being my first rechargeable fan) and fan speed/efficiency that I have been looking for is here.

I bought the 16″ large version (without hose hookup) because I didn’t want to risk a smaller version leaving me wanting more power, however, I convinced my parents to buy the 12″ version with the hose hookup so I know what the smaller size can handle.

I am glad I got the bigger fan but the smaller fan (albeit less power) gives my parents what they were looking for, especially with the hose vapor hookup. I go camping and I also like to lounge in my backyard on hot days so I bought a fan that would be portable.

I was instantly attracted to the quiet sound this fan made while being able to be legitimately powerful. It might not give you the highest power I’ve ever seen from an electric fan that is large and in charge but for a wireless fan, this did what I hoped for.

I love the speed control knob that let’s me fine tune how much power I want to give. The more power, the less battery time you get (higher power range will give you only 2-3 hours, medium power can last a full night).

But when you use it on a lower power it is still a good output and the battery will last a full day (maybe 16-20 hours or so). That said, a lot depends on the placement of the fan. On a really hot day, you may need to put the fan a lot closer to you for the effect.

But if you have the ability to put the fan really close to you then even the lower power levels will be effective on very hot days. I also started using the fan while working from my house during the pandemic.

My work area would get hot regularly and the fan on low chilled me plenty and was nice and quiet with very little vibration. I use it plugged in a lot as well. Then, it happened. There was a terrible storm and the power went out on a hot week for 7 days.

Luckily I was prepared with this fan. It was so hot and I was so uncomfortable but this fan made it possible to sleep in my bedroom (I used another fan plugged into a generator). The fan was small enough to fit on my tv table by the bed so this fan blowing on us did a lot more than the larger fan on the ground that was plugged in.

I even borrowed my parents smaller fan since their power did not fail them and so I had alternating rechargeable fans going from this company. Another thing that comes in handy is how quickly it charges from 0% to ***.

maybe a couple of hours. I’m a ***. of this product. :).

I’ve been having this fan for a while now, and will be getting another due to my large boxer dog sitting right in front of it, blocking my airflow, to keep the bugs away! Air hog!Is the fan worth the money? I was hesitant to fork out the cash, BUT its worth every penny! EVERY! PENNY!Powerful fan.

High setting gives about an hours worth of use, HOWEVER, high setting is very high, and I can’t think of many uses for such power. I use my fan on about 1/3 speed and it lasts 3-4 hours, keeping me cool, and the bugs away, which is wonderful!Takes just under an hour to get a full charge.

Another plus. I live in Louisiana, in a very hot and humid climate. I use this fan for the better part of the year to keep me cool, and maybe even more importantly, to keep the swamp mosquitos at bay!!I don’t have an outlet/receptacle to plug a fan outdoors near where I spend a lot of my time.

I also take this fan with me places for gatherings and events that are held outdoors. – Very light weight and easy to carry around. Everyone asks where I got the fan from, and compliments on the power and ease of tote, of the fan.

Once, it came in use for an elderly and handicap person, who was trying to keep cool at a Louisiana baby shower held outdoors. I couldn’t watch her in un-comfort, so I let her borrow the fan, and she was so grateful.

The battery lasted for the entire baby shower. Thats including before and during. ***. with a little juice to spare. :)I’ve also taken it to a campground, and birthday parties. I’ve used it to help the dry time paint on doors that I painted.

I use it to quickly move it from one location to the other to dry mopped floors. I use it alllll the time!!The battery charge has held up very well in my heavy use of the fan. I have always been more than happy to have it! – That’s actually quite an understatement!!Noise? Please refer to the video for your own judgement.

Please be sure to have your volume on. I would say it depends on if fan noise bothers you, or if you need quiet for a particular reason. and it actually depends on the speed the fan is set to. The fan is almost mute on low setting.

On high setting, the fan puts out a fair amount of noise, but that noise is comforting to me. I sleep with a fan near my bed, in an already freezing cold house, because I like the sound of a fan drowning out all other sounds.

Its comforting. With that said. No matter the speed setting, the noise does not bother me, and I can still hear the birds chirping :)The fan is extremely light and easy to tote around. I would, AND DO, recommend this fan to everyone!! Seriously, check my reviews.

I don’t leave many reviews, and I don’t push products!!This is an item that I use every day! And also, before the summer hits, I’m going to be getting at least one more, to offset my air hog dog!.

I bought this fan as an idea to keep mosquitoes away when family is seated for BBQ dinner in the backyard. During the summer we eat outside at least a few days per week. Since we have poor to mixed results with tiki torches, traps, and other repellents we decided to try a fan after a friend recommended it.

I thought it was a good idea because it seems mosquitoes aren’t very strong at flying. This fan was the perfect size (most battery operated fans are too small for my purposes) and easy to move around.

I’ve been using it under the table to blow on everyone’s legs when seated since most bites seem to happen around the ankles and legs. It’s been great!It’s great to have a power cord free device as long as the battery life is good.

This fan has been good to very good in that regard. I can leave it running outside for well over an hour without issue. The other plus is you can use it while it is charging if you happen to be near an outlet.

The only downside is there is some vibration on higher speed. It’s not horrendous, but noticeable. Also, it doesn’t explicitly state where it is manufactured (as far as I can tell) which I do not like.

Would be great if they were manufactured in USA with American sourced materials. My favorite things about this fan:- At 16″ this is the perfect size for what I’m using it for. Most battery operated fans are too small.

– Not needing an electrical power cord is fantastic making it easy to move around anywhere you want it. – Battery life is good. I didn’t measure the time, but it lasts for well over an hour at almost full speed.

– Battery life indicator is excellent.

Package clearly states that an AC adapter is included. It was NOT. I specifically purchased this fan because it was supposed to include an adapter and yet here we are. Now I have to return the product making the convenience of online shopping nullified.

The fan comes with an AC wall adapter and will also run from D cell batteries. Since the fan will run from a 12 volt DC source it is ideal for running off of a small solar generator. A small solar generator and this fan make a great combination to assist in staying comfortable in a variety of outdoor activities.

I purchased one a couple of years ago as an experiment and just purchased three more for the ladies for use while selling at outdoor craft shows. The women love it! Qualifying statement. For a portable, go anywhere, DC powered, low power requirements, fan, it is a great value.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I bought 3 of these. They lasted about 6 months only using them during the day. Even cleaned them out and lubricated to keep the motor going. Buy something else if you expect them to last more than one season.
