It's a pain in the butt to work. Wish I could return and get my money back. It is just amazing - the fan alone would be great, but the air blowing out of it is genuinely cool! Not like your car A/C blasting on max, but still unbelievable. Will be ordering another for my daughter next summer and hopefully the price would have gone down a bit by then. This fan was purchased as a gift for my girlfriend and she bought it to work with her all the time. Outside in 100 degree heat, it doesn�t make much of a dent if not right AT your face, but on a beach vacation, or at a sporting event it's perfect to hold and keep you much cooler. Just bring the little bottle for refills! It needs the hot dry weather to cool the air down. If not, it's just a fan. I live in the dry Southwest and this handy cooler is perfect. It's well engineered, quiet, and very convenient to bring around. Is it meant to be a wrist strap? Because I would never attach it to my hand and walk around with it because is a bit large to do that.
Cools you down and I love the concept of how it has a USB jack so that I can plug it into my laptop which makes it convenient. Pricewise it�s more expensive than the other fans available and if cost conscious I'd probably go for the basic fans that always aren't as good, are half the price. Bought this for use at home and it does a lovely job of keeping me comfortable. The design is simple and it works well. However, it's certainly not as cool as your car's air-conditioner. One way to make the air a little cooler is to store the refill water bottles in the refrigerator.
You can run it on batteries and they last a decent amount of time, but unless you have rechargeable ones, it's a hassle to keep on buying new ones. I bought this cooler and took it with me on a trip to the DR. I bought one with reluctance at the time because I have invested a lot of money in the past for multiple portable cooling devices but nothing lasted me that long or always had some type of fault but I figured with the four star rating that it couldn't go too wrong. The first thing I did when I got it in the mail was soak the filter and fit it into the device, it was a very easy process and immediately felt the cooling.
While I was skeptical due to previous disappointments in portable fans, this one lives up to its promises! The only inconvenience is the need for water which is solved somewhat by the included water bottle.
Then, you must be certain to dry the sponge completely prior to storage to prevent mildew/mold. If those issues don't bother you, this fan is PERFECT!

Also, the hose and exhaust vent got truly hot throughout operation with my camping air conditioner. I ordered this camping air conditioner thinking it would be peaceful and it was, it was a squirrel-cage design, and so I figured it might move significant air quantity at low audio levels.
