I use it all the time and everywhere because I get very hot. People use to think it was funny when I whipped out my fan but they ended up borrowing it!! They thought it was a "cool" idea and have bought for themselves
from Enid, OK on 7/6/2008
After coveting my step-mother's, she graciously clued me in on where to get my own. I wasted little time ordering it online and haven't regretted it since. It's perfect for keeping with me all night while working on my flight simulators. It's the perfect size and strength (power). All that and quiet, too!! I couldn't ask for more!

I recently stayed in a friend's apt. who had no A/C and also no A/C in her car.... It was over 100 degrees. I used this fan next to my bed....batteries lasted for NIGHTS!! I held it near my neck while dying of the heat in the car....and it gave me incredible relief for a little powerful fan!!! LOVE this fan!!

Excellent small, personal fan - would highly recommend it for anyone, especially those going through menopause. The only drawback is that the strap is useless and can get stuck in the fan because there is no grating or cover over the fan. We just removed the strap and have no problems with it otherwise. Produces a lot of air for such a little, compact shape that can easily be carreied around in a purse.

I suffer from hotflashes and this has been the best relief I've found. I keep one in my purse and one at hand at home. It is so small and compact, that it doesn't attract attention when I need to use it in public.

When the hot flash strikes and I need quick relief, I reach for this little fan. I keep it near my bed at night and it is so quiet my husband never hears a thing. It seemed a little pricey but now that I have it, I wouldn't be without it.

If you carry this gem in your purse, it can turn on by bumping against other items. This can leave you with a dead battery. I'm ordering my third fan and have learned that simply popping one of the batteries out of it's spot and leaving it in the center of the battery compartment means no independent running and longer battery life. This is a super product for travel, buggy/hot outdoor activities and, of course, those pesky hot flashes!!

Grab this number as soon as the internal temp. begins to soar & get some relief. This is the best portable fan I have had, offering higher speeds, and much sturdier quality. It is larger/heavier than other hand held fans which is noticable weight when I toss into bucket bag for anticipated flashes. But those in the know, know that nothing other than immediate relief matters once the heat begins. When a particularly intense flash arrives, I move the fan to back of neck as well as face. All in all, a decent, powerful, well made fan.
from Salem, Oregon on 4/11/2008
I purchased one for myself and one for a co-worker.There is nothing worse than having hotflashes in the office. This fan is quiet,cooling and very discreet.Best of all it's portable so it goes where I go.
from Tucson, AZ on 3/13/2008
It's one of the best gifts I have ever received and one that I have continuously used. It's now been 4 years and it is finally giving out. I use it while at work and it is placed on my desktop with the air aimed at my face. There have been plenty of times that I have actually needed to shut if off because I have gotten cold. Which for me is very rare. It has been a lifesaver especailly on those hot summer Arizona days. It was originally given to me to help me out with hotflashes brought on due to chemotherapy. I know it states not to include personal information but you have a different type of market to introduce your product to. It has been a LIFESAVER. That's why I am buying a new one today. Thanks for a great product.
Great for on night stand when I wake up with hot sweats! I bought a second one for my purse.
This fan is in my purse at all times when I travel or at the office.... I literally cannot function without it.
from Tracy, CA on 2/27/2008
Having hot flashes at any given moment is very annoying. But having the Cool-It fan makes it a bit more bearable!
from Dallas, TX on 2/15/2008
Use it to steer smoke away from me. Also to keep cool.
I've used many personal fans, due to hot flashes. This fan is the best! I keep it in my purse at all times. It's lightweight, quiet, durable, has adjustable speeds...you can use it anywhere!
from Titusville Florida on 10/29/2007
I prefer the all gray color vs the bright colors that are available now. A brown color would be great.
from lancaster PA on 10/23/2007
We have been looking for fans like these for at least (2) years. I guess we have not been looking in the right place. Recently we looked at our original fans that are wearing out and noticed that they had the [...] label on them and looked up your company on the internet and here we are. Maybe these will last us 10 years like the other ones did.
from Cleveland, Ohio on 10/23/2007
Very helpful for my wife! Small size and power make it an excellent aid.

from Chico, CA on 10/22/2007
This is a great fan. Quiet, so it doesn't disturb others around you. Everyone who sees it has commented on the attractive design and how well it cools! I keep this in my glove compartment of the car so I will have it with me at all times. On very hot days, I carry it in my purse. I've used it at work, in restaurants, using public transportation (or someone else's car where I cannot control the AC!), and even while sitting under the dryer at the hair salon!
from Tifton, GA on 10/22/2007
I am a school teacher in south Georgia. I have car duty once a week, and even at 7:30, the heat a humidity are horrid. This fan helps to keep me cooler (not sweating) and it is safe. I never worry that I am going to hurt myself or a child if the fan is on and I let it hang from my neck.
from Provo, UT on 10/22/2007
It is easy to use this fan in a discreet way. Comfort without making a scene or attracting attention.
from San Gabriel, CA on 10/22/2007
This is great for my sons basketball games. He plays in gyms that have no air conditioning and in the summer the gym is hotter and stuffier than the outside summer air. This helps at least circulate some air to make me a little cooler. Easy to carry.
from New Cumberland PA. on 10/22/2007
I bought it for my wife for when we travel.
from Austin, Texas on 10/5/2007
This fan has gotten me through many personal "power surges"! Quiet enough to use indoors and powerful enough to cool during outdoor concerts, parties, etc. I LOVE IT! (And so do all of my friends!)

This is the menapausal woman's "best friend". I am also a cancer survivor on medication that causes Hot Flashes plus I wok in an Oncology office. I alway have a few of these in my desk to offer our patients that can't face the "heat" that comes with their treatment. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Wish it were a little more affordable. I have 3-4 strategically placed so they are always available.
I use the fan(s) everyday when I eat out in Japan. Japan lacks real no smoking anything. They are compact and powerful.
from tulsa, ok on 8/3/2007
my husband sells cars and is outside all day, he uses it to cool off and we have taken it to ball games... it has lasted for 2 summers now and still going strong....
from Austin, TX on 7/30/2007
I treated my fan very carefully and used it rarely and still, when I removed it from my drawer this summer, it simply wouldn't work and [...] would not offer any kind of replacement or help. Waste of money, wouldn't recommend fan [...]

I have two discountinued 6" [...] portable fans which run on 4 D batteries and they definitely move more air and are a little quiter than the Cool It fan. However, the 6" fans are pretty heavy and bulky. The Cool It fan does a pretty nice job for such a small fan. Since it uses 4 AA batteries it has good voltage to run the fan at good speed. I wonder how long the batteries will last but overall for a small device it does better than any others I've found. If it is a REALLY hot day, I might lug the bigger 6 inch fan.
