COMLIFEPortable Handheld Misting Fan, 3000mAh Rechargeable Battery Operated, 180° Foldable, Mini Personal Fan with Water Sprayer for Travel, Makeup, Home, Office, Camping, Outdoors

This little misting fan is a lifesaver when faced with blazing heat, whether in a delayed plane sitting the tarmac (when they refuse to turn on the AC), the doctor's office waiting room, when getting in a car waiting for the AC to cool down the interior, or to cool you down when you first enter your hot home, to name a few.Bottom Line First - This fan is excellent overall and performs its job perfectly. The only issue I see users having is (rightfully) getting confused on how to use the single multi-function switch to perform all functions.To those who are disappointed because this little mister fan isn't capable of cooling their entire room, house, or are unable to use this fan instead of getting your car's AC repaired . . . don't be silly. This is a small PERSONAL fan, meant to instantly cool you down when it's blazing hot, or perhaps when you need relief on a bike ride or run.HISTORYMisting fans in concept are nothing new. The idea is to somehow spray water in FRONT of the fan blades, which then shoots the mist on to your "cooling zones" (behind the ears, neck, mouth area, forehead). The first models (still sold on Amazon) were simply a Windex-style spray bottle with a fan attached in some manner behind the water spray nozzle. Way back 30 years ago I bought one at Disney World when it was blazing hot and humid in Orlando that time of year (big mistake on my part going there in August). It worked quite well to make the heat tolerable when I was walking around the park.Fast forward 30 years now we have mister fans that are compact, lightweight, run on internal lithium batteries, and the powered "mister" is a mini-humidifier that works on the same principle as your full-size humidifier. The motors are better made and faster than the clunky electric motors of old.OPERATIONOn this mister fan, a single switch/button operates the fan's various functions. The separate distinct functions are: 1) The fan; 2) the mister; and 3) the LED lights. EACH FUNCTION CAN OPERATE ON ITS OWN.The ONLY adjustable power or performance function is fan speed (speeds 1, 2, or 3). The mister or LED lights are either on or off. IOW the fan will run by itself, so too will the lights, so too will the mister. You can run any three functions in combination: fan/mister; fan; lights; mister; mister/lights; etc.Note: while the mini humidifier/mister will run by itself, the mist output is NOT sufficient for it to be used as a standalone humidifier. It will operate, but it won't cool down your computer keyboard and yourself. IOW, this if best used as a mister with the fan.Note: while the LED lights will function by themselves, IMO those are worthless; the lights contribute NOTHING to the operation of the fan and mister. In fact, run those lights around your friends, they are guaranteed to think you're LAME.BEST USEFor me, I get the best cooling effect by using the mister with the fan on power level 2. I hold the fan close to whatever "zone" I want to cool. For example, I will run it near my lips, ears, chin, upper lip, under the chin, on the neck, etc.What's super refreshing for me is to place it close to my skin (three inches) so the mist accumulates and drips down. I also do that on my chin. It feels like ice water and hitting my "zones" has a refreshing cooling effect. I move the fan in a small circular motion.Bonus Tip: You can try using the fan on #3 speed. If that works for you, great!Plain Speaking InstructionsFor those who don't read directions (I'm raising my hand here), pressing one button in various combinations to control all functions can be confusing. Don't get frustrated; here is how I remember which button presses do what.Again, remember that ALL functions are controlled by pressing the single multi-function button/switch.Side Note: Notice that on the handle front, at the top, there are two tiny indicator lights. The light on your right lights up if a fan feature is ON (mister, fan). The light on the left is the battery status indicator (red = charging; blue = fully charged).OK, here are the button presses. Note: You can press a function regardless of what you have on or off at the time. For example, you are running all 3 features (fan, mister, lights). You can at any time quickly double-click the switch to cycle the LED lights off and on.- FAN: Clicking the button/switch at normal speed (neither long nor quick press) cycles the fan's 3 speeds, or turns the fan off. (1, 2, 3, Off). Each successive press cycles an increase in speed. A fourth press turns the fan off.- LIGHTS: A fast double-click turns the LED light on or off. Again, the lights are added bling, and IMO totally lame.- MISTER: At any time LONG PRESSING the multi-function switch cycles the mister on and off.Note: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MISTER (E.G., IT RUNS OUT OF WATER WHILE STILL RUNNING), the mister has an auto-off timer. After about 10 minutes or less of operation, the mister automatically cycles to "off."Bonus Tips:- To confirm if the mister is on or off I hold the fan sideways with a lighted area in the background so I can SEE the mist. If I don't see it, I either don't have it on, or God forbid, I am running it without water (which may damage the mister.- If your mister is NOT working confirm: Your battery is charged AND that water is visible in the clear tank that contours the top of the fan. Solution: Charge the battery, and/or fill the mister with water.- Noise: In an office, hospital waiting room, or other quiet zones, if all is quiet, people will HEAR this fan if it's on speed # 2 or #3. Quiet operation is NOT one of its attributes. For this reason, if in a quiet zone I recommend you keep the fan on speed 1, perhaps #2. The noise on speed 1 will not bother anyone. While speed 3 is a cooling demon (it really blows a LOT of air), I suspect people will be annoyed if you run it on the higher speeds. At level 3 it sounds like a mini vac. :-)Note: I have bought other fans on Amazon that blow a lot of air but because of intentional design (e.g., the blades are thin flexible plastic) those fans are whisper quiet on speeds two and three. This fan is NOT quiet like those.P.S. Don't leave it sitting anywhere. E.g., on a restaurant table while you are visiting the loo or whatever. Friends, parents, brothers, sisters, classmates, co-workers, police, FBI agents, or strangers will in a heartbeat will ride or drive off into the horizon with this fan. Adding insult to injury, family will act all innocent saying stuff like "I dunno where your fan went. Did you have a fan? I didn't see no fan. How big was it? You should contact Lost n Found. Call the police, file a report. Call your insurance guy, file a claim."Super Bonus Tip: You can detect who stole your fan because after stashing it on their person, purse or backpack they say: "Gotta go, I'm late, bye, so long, I'll call you, see you later, take care, text me, good luck, love you all . . . " as they BOLT to the exit and burn rubber fleeing in their car.

Nice product. Unfortunately does not put out as much air as the non-misting versions. It is also makes slightly more sound. The blades are a bit smaller and spins much faster, which I believe increases the sound. The water container is not very big, but works. From my tests, you can exhaust the a full tank within 10 minutes. I will have to do more testing on the practical use (I will update accordingly) to really see the if this is an issue. In context, I bought this product to see if the mister feature was worth any value compared to it's non-mister counterparts. As noted, to accommodate the water container, the fans are slightly smaller and spin faster, which creates more noise. The real question is, does it work and is it worth this feature.The fan works wonderfully, despite the slight noise increase. It has the standard 3 speeds, low, medium, and high. This is still a great fan, as pumps a good amount of air at all speeds despite being less than the non-mister counterparts. It works well.In regards to the mister... it works wonderfully. I love it. I believe it works best at the slowest speed. The mist is very fine and makes a huge difference in cooling. I have not tested this in high humidity, but within my home with average humidity, it was a dramatic difference. I can also see this being used to help humidify your breathing if needed. It worth it for this feature? Yes it is.Lastly, there are some things that I wish were better that was enough to remove 1-star, but you have to put this with a grain of salt. Overall, this is a great product and I would highly recommend this, especially at this price point. I wish the water tank was at least twice the size as it gets exhausted quickly. Also, I wish the battery was replaceable as this model they're pretty much screwed in preventing you from changing it on the fly if you happen to run out of power. Instead, you'll have to use a power pack and use a USB to charge it.Pros:- Misting feature works very well.- Fan pumps out a good amount of air for each setting.- Compact and folds to half it's size for probability.- The water tank can be opened up for cleaning. Someone thought about this. Great feature.Cons:- Water tank can be bigger.- Battery cannot be replaced without opening the device. (Note: I have not opened it up to see if it stores a standard 18650 battery like it's counterparts. Lastly, I pretty sure it's not recommended to do this by the manufacturer.)Overall, this is a good product and I would recommend it if a misting feature is something you want. If you don't care of the mister feature, I would advise to look for it's non-mister counterparts and save a little money and one less feature to break. The cons are small and may be insignificant to others, so be mindful of this in my review. If these are not an issue for you, then you can argue this is a 5-star review.Tip: If you can, use distilled water in any products such as this to avoid any build-up of minerals that may potentially block and hurt the product. To get an idea, I had a sealed faux tank filled with distilled water for 3 years with no signs of water rings or bacteria build up in it.

These are a strong personal fan. They will have cool air based on the temperature of the air it intakes. So if it’s 90 degrees you’ll get that temp air but it will cool a bit and at lease a strong flow of air at the highest speed.

The fans lightweight and portable, but is surprisingly strong and the battery lasts a long time. Other reviews mention the light mist, which I agree it doesn’t put out a lot of mist. But I personally found it to still provide a refreshing cooling effect. Very happy with this purchase for such a value
