This is the best hand held personal cooler I've come across. It does the job well. Make sure you turn the fan off all the way because at the very lowest setting the blades don't move - I accidentally kept mine on that way, and it used up most of the batteries overnight.

This is my third fan. The others only had to be replaced due to my fault (dropping & had it running while in my purse). These fans are durable and have the longest battery life. I carry mine around with me and use it often, even in church. They are so quiet nobody gets disturbed by them. Three of my friends have also purchased one on my recommendation.

My sister and I visited NYC in early June thinking the weather would be not too hot but not too cold. Well turns out it was during a horrible heat wave with temperatures in the upper 90s. We were miserable....then we just happened to walk by a Brookstone and saw this wonderful little fan. These fans are simply fantastic! Love the look. Love the design. It's nice and quiet. It's just perfect!

The best thing out there to cool you off; especially if you get hot flashes. I don't leave home without it. I take it to restaurants, shopping, events, and on airplanes. When they shut the engines off, I can still be cooled with my fan. It's my new best friend.

I bought this fan 2 years ago in Atlantic City, & never, ever leave home without it! I love how it fits right in my purse! I've had women follow me in the malls, just to feel the cooling breeze from it! I tell people that it's my "hot flash" fan! I've had women in work ask if they can borrow it, but I'll admit I am a little selfish with it!! I'm so happy that I just found your website, so I can order more!!! Thank you soooo much for such a fantastic item!!!

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!

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.

User Tip for Maximizing Battery Life
By KC from Minneapolis, MN on 5/26/2008
Pros:
Compact Design, Discreet
Cons:
Can turn on in your purse
Best Uses:
Hot Flashes, Outdoor Summer Activities, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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!!

Hotflash Relief

Pros:
Durable, Powerful
Cons:
Bulky, Lacks Adjustability
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

"Total Lifesaver"

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

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.

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!

Pretty Good
By PaulInNY from New York, NY on 7/23/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Easily Understood Instructions, Simple Interface
Cons:
Less air flow than bigger
Best Uses:
Warm Climates
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.
