Go Gear SP571204 12V Personal Tower Fan

I've read good and bad about this fan. My review is very good!!!Here's a little about where I put it. I own a 1999 Ford F150 pick up truck. It has a front center console that swings down and it has a single cup holder on it. That's just where I put the fan. There are several other cup holders including two that are close to the AC vent but the fan won't fit there. The AC doesn't work so I wanted the fan as close to me as I could get it.Here's how I used it. I took a six hour round trip today all of which was in DEEP south Texas. It's been 109 degrees several times this year and it averaged 101 today. Please know that I am a desert rat and I LOVE hot weather. I drove all day with the fan running while it was pointed at me. The drivers side window was closed, the passenger window was open as well as the two rear vent windows. Not once was I uncomfortable.Other reviews say this fan is noisy. In my opinion it's not. I had my radio on most of the time and could hear every word. People complain because it doesn't oscillate. They're right, it doesn't but since I was the only one in the truck, that wasn't a problem. It ran almost continuously for six hours and never once did the body of the fan feel hot. The cord was long enough to reach my dashboard with room to spare.I love this fan and am very happy with it so far. It cooled me down in extreme heat with no air condition which is what it is supposed to do. An awesome fan which I'm sure will perform just as well once our weather turns hot.

I choose this model after reading other reviews on it. I would agree that it is fairly quiet but it did not fit the cup holder in the car. We bought it so the dog would have circulating air in the back seat since she gets so anxious. We tried to rig it with tape and a strap to the console aiming it to the back seat but within ten minutes of the trip the fan toppled over. We will try again next trip with another idea but I wish it had fit the cup holder as intended!

While this product does work to an extent, the design could use some serious improvements. The air intake is located on the back of the unit, which presents a major issue depending on how your cup holders are laid out. In some vehicles the air intake was obstructed preventing a good flow of air if you put a drink in the other cup holder.The next design flaw would be that in deep cup holders that are found in some vehicles some of the front vent can be obstructed, which of course results in poor performance from the fan. The final design flaw for me would be the cable placement, why would you make the cable come out the bottom of the unit knowing it is going to be placed in a cup holder? This makes cable management a nightmare, and depending on what you put in your cup holders a damaged cable due to sharp objects.I'm giving this product 2 stars because I could see it working in some vehicles or settings, however buyer beware of the measurements and the design flaws I've mentioned above otherwise you'll end up disappointed if you check as an afterthought.

This thing is noisy, doesn't move much air, and doesn't fit any cup holder I've yet tried it in. It's TOO BIG for most cup holders, and I own FIVE DIFFERENT CARS. We also have Ford Trucks and golf carts at work (where I intended to use use it) and it doesn't fit into the normal sized cupholders of the trucks, and is loose in the golfcarts holders, which are oversized. This is a problem, since it is also top-heavy, and will go flying out if you actually drive around in a vehicle with it.The base is a straight cylindrical shape, with no taper. If it was gently tapered along it's length, like a waxed paper or plastic cup from literally any fast food restaurant you can name, it would likely work with most of the cup holders I have. It doesn't work in my Toyota, Ford, Mini, or VW cupholders. Considering that's it's PURPOSE, and one that it advertises on the box, that's pretty pathetic. I would have returned it, but like I said, it bounced out of the cupholder on a golfcart and was scuffed up, so now I'm stuck with it, even though it's worthless.

I wasn't expecting the world from this fan, primarily due to its low price, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The AC in my car died years ago, but the vent fan still blew out a decent amount of air. Then the vent fan died, so I bought this fan to move air inside the car. It fits just fine in my cup holder, moves enough air to provide some genuine relief from the heat, and while it's not exactly quiet, I don't find it intolerably noisy either.Overall, this little tower fan does the job. I wish it had low and high settings (the only two speeds are on and off), but it's inexpensive and meets my needs. I really can't ask for much more than that.Update: The fan died after three summers. Given the price, I don't consider that a negative, so I'm not going to deduct any stars. I just wanted to update the review with this information. You can decide for yourself whether three years of service represents an acceptable level of longevity for this type of device.

Excellent item. But Amazon website should come with more details of any product with more pictures from different angle. The cord length is of 5 feet which was not mentioned in the website and I tried to get that information from the customer care centre but they failed to provide any further information. As a result I had to buy an extension which was actually not required. The item is good but you can not move the fins in left right direction. But you can move the fins upward/downward. Good item....very good item for the back seat passengers.

This is a good product if you have no a.c. to keep you from dying (my ac died so I was sweating to death) lol but don't expect it to blow cool/cold air. If it's hot out it'll just move hot air and it is a little noisy but not bad. Also a good product to move cold air from an ac to the back seats. I used it quite a bit the last 2mos of summer and never had a problem with it.
