Gama Sonic Rechargeable 15-Inch Cooling Fan with AM/FM Radio #GS-26R



Powerful, quiet fan - my best buddy when the power goes
It gets hot and sticky fast indoors when we lose power here in the subtropics. This sturdy fan, with its three wide blades at an overall 10" diameter, moves more air on low than my 10" O2 Cool fan does on high, and it's so soothingly quiet! Ahhhh...

Its oscillation range is fairly limited, but definitely enough to keep me comfortable while I'm moving around in a room like the kitchen, especially on high, it's a blast! When the power goes, I carry the fan with me by its fold-down handle from room to room. It's a must for the bathroom counter. In fact, that's where I "store" it, plugged in and charging, even though it's fairly large. It's substantially built, measuring 19 1/2" x 15" with a 12" x 6" footprint.

I haven't tested the battery to its limit. Luckily, the power has returned fairly quickly during the couple of outages we've had since I got it. The real test will be when the summer storms come (and we're not going anywhere near that H-word). But I have been...

Emergency fan
I bought this fan because excess heat can be a health problem for myself and my dogs. There have been so many storms with power loss this summer and afterwards even if we don't lose power, the electric company shuts off our power to repair the other lines. Now I don't have to worry about the loss of air conditioning and I don't even have to search for the radio. Amazon was the place to search for a fan this large without having to go from store to store. And we received it almost immediately! Thanks!

Best fan I've ever purchased thus far.
I live in a country where the local power goes out frequently for severl minutes (to a few hours) for load sharing in the summer months... this fan has made that seem to all go away. Especially if the power goes out in the night. The stock battery is good for 2 hours off of a full charge and if you spring to an additional battery thats 4hrs right there. I love this fan.
