USB Car Fan

This little fan has been a total game changer for my car. I don’t have great A/C in the back seats, and this USB plug-in fan makes a huge difference. It’s surprisingly powerful for its size, super quiet, and easy to clip anywhere. I plugged it right into my car’s USB port, and it started working immediately — no setup needed. It keeps air circulating nicely, especially on long drives or when the car’s just warming up. The adjustable head is a nice touch, and it feels sturdy even on bumpy roads. Definitely a must-have for hot days or cars with weaker airflow. Totally worth it!

Summer hasn't completely hit, so it's a bit early to tell if it'll do what I hope. BUT, as of right now, it provides a nice little breeze on me that stirs up the air enough to be comfortable. I'm really just looking for something to keep hot air moving because I have no A/C in my car, so anything that creates a breeze beyond two open car windows should be enough. It's really quiet, even at full speed, and to be honest, if you've got the radio turned on, or people talking, or a vehicle that's noisy on the freeway even with the windows rolled up, you might not notice. For me, the noise is negligible. It doesn't feel super solid, but at the same time, it's not heavy, so I'm hopeful that it won't mess up my vent long term. There is a concern that super hot summer days in a car might soften the plastic, and they do recommend keeping it out of extreme heat, so we'll see. I might just take it off and put it in the shade during then. The adjustment is a little fiddily with one hand, so if you're looking for something easy to adjust while driving, this isn't it. I needed both hands to tighten and loosen the big plastic nut on the back to adjust it. It has a pretty good range of motion, but you are, of course, limited by the vent as far as how far you can turn it any which way. I think it works well and the price was decent.

I initially was going to look for another car vent fan because I thought the reviews were claiming that it was useless for its job, that wasn’t the case. Perhaps some people forget a fan is only going to move air around, and not an air conditioner? However, with that said I just got it all setup in my car to replace one that was showing age (Purchased another model by another brand back in April 2020) and it was time for a new one. The only difference I can tell offhand by the two is this one doesn’t have the LED lighting my other one did. I have enough add on interior lighting in this car I can absolutely do without this fan having lights. One things certain, it is INCREDIBLY strong. My Crosstrek is a solid car but the HVAC blower can tend to be a tad bit weak. This helps move air to the back of the cabin, effectively cooling/heating my car quicker. It’s very quiet too. The switch is on the cord more towards the fan head and is easy to cycle through the speeds (3). There is fan noise as it is a fan, but will easily be drowned out by road noise/ambience. I’ll update this review in 3 months to see if anything changes with it but I think 4 so far is a good rating for now. I think the only thing I would change and it’s really a me preference is have it remember if it was on or not the last time i shut my car off but then again, some areas have warm nights and cold morning you may not want it to blast cold air at you. With that said, it won’t replace air conditioning (it’s not supposed to) but it absolutely can help aid a weak HVAC system you may have in your car. UPDATE 4/30/2024 It’s been 4 months and plenty of road trips with this unit. We have a winner! Still very quiet and love the fact you can take off the grill for easy cleaning. Not a single thing i’d change on the unit. I’d recommend this unit for any vent in your cabin that may need some boost. Can easily see this being a hit in the backseat in a fully loaded car to avoid the backseat being stagnant.

It’s a fan people! The cord is a tad long for my particular car, but I am kinda funny about clutter and cords in my car. It works great and has 3 speed options that can easily be adjusted. The only con that I had was with the actual part that slips onto the car vent-this could be car specific, but I found it to be tight and had to put in a little effort to get it to slide onto the vent. Otherwise it works fine, noise is minimal, and it was cheap. I see many reviews talking about the actual temperature of the air this fan will blow and I think that’s a moot point for a car with no circulating cold air - if it’s hot inside-the fan is going to circulate the hot air it is pushing!!!! Expectations have to be realistic-it’s not going to create cold air like a fan in a home per se, but it will circulate air as it was designed -but the temperature of said air is dependent on your environment inside the car. The fan has to be powered on every time the power source to the car is restarted, so remember that because I forgot a few times and was wondering what happened. Overall, it’s a great portable fan for the car to help boost already circulating air, but it is in no shape a replacement for failed AC.
