Good, however, poorly documented product
The Fan Tastic Vent Corp 01100WH Endless Breeze 12V Volt Fan is an acceptably good product and would probably rate a 4/5 on value... I kinda like it but it's a tad bit expensive.
What you don't know is its power draw and that's a big deal to those of us living inside battery constraints. I have measured it and I'll share:
low: 15 Watts or 1.25 amps @ 12 VDC
medium: 27 Watts or 2.25 amps
high: 35 Watts or close to 3 amps
But... Fan-Tastic should have published that! The fact that *I* had to document their product cost 'em a star!
Blows you away
As the majority of other reviewers say, this fan moves an amazing amount of air. Current draw is around 1 amp, 1.5 amps, and 2.6 amps for the 3 speeds. Doubt I'll ever need to use the highest setting, it's that good at creating a breeze.
Can't speak for durability yet. Everything is plastic so I wouldn't let it get banged around or fall. The feet do look a little flimsy so I intend to fill the hollow spots in with epoxy. They'll break off the housing before the feet themselves will bust. OTOH, because it's all plastic, it's pretty light.
Will make a great fan for warm weather tent camping which is my intended use.
Great fan
I have a small Toyota RV.
Most of the 12 volt fans I have used are small and not very useful. This one is a real fan, moves a lot of air and has a current draw that my 30 watt solar panel can just about keep up with. The fan has three useful speeds.
I bought the fan to use when I can't use my air conditioner because I don't have an electric hookup and running my generator is too noisy for conditions. I now also use the fan to circulate air in my RV on really hot days even when I can run my air conditioner.
I also frequently use it outside (I have a handy 12volt plug)
The "feet" of the fan fold out of the way making it easy to store.
I am very pleased with it and and would not be without it.
