Honeywell HTF090B Turbo on the Go Personal Fan, Black – Small, Portable Fan

We are currently being warned we will likely see power outages as the intense heat continues and taxes our already weak energy grid here in Texas. Since I can't move as fast as I like, I got this little guy to help out as we are also being advised to not set our AC's as low. I'd prefer to be warmer than comfortable rather than having no AC at all. My at home work space is right in front of a window. Blinds are down but hottest part of the day and it doesn't matter.This fan has only one setting, however, at that setting it blows pretty powerfully for a small appliance. I am using it as I write this and it is keepin me cool. I experimented and turned it off and the temperature and comfort is dramatic. It's definitely keeping me chill.The directions are in English and Spanish. For those who ignore directions lol, and open the battery compartement only to see two slots when there should be four - there is an added step - don't worry. You gently pull the string tere ad wiggle it out and the other two batteries go in the back side of it. Easy peasy.As an added bonus its kinda cute. Not Kawaii cute and believe me I spent hours over a few days deciding and I yearned for the cutest ones in pretty colors. However after looking at reviews and descriptions and pictures for so long I finally told myself to choose already!The not so good - depending on the person.There is a smell. I will say here I am super sensitive to scents. Don't give up on a great item though. Some items like organizers or clothes - I actually will set outside to offgas for as long as needed. And of course wash! This one had a strong chemical scent out of the box and when I started using but this dissapated immensely as I used it (turned a bit away). I feel confident that the odor will be medigated even ore in a few days.Sound. It isn't whisper quiet. I happen to like the sound but that is all preference. I have a fan by my bed all year round even in locales that actually have a winter. Partly for the noise. However, if you like fully quiet or close to, that is something to consider. I may have to not use when talking to people for work. However, I have been considering investing in a better pair of noise reducing headphones.I find it lightweight and compact, and my pictures show size comparison. However it isn't the lightest - it has a slight heft that I find reassuring. All around it feels pretty sturdy. It does have a stand that folds up - and with a very satisfying sound.All in all its a good purchase. I may get one for my son who does his work for his virtual science academy in a more sun protected spot but he might appreciate. Plus, if we do lose electricity. However, I kind of eventually want to try one you wear but not sure yet.I am happy with my purchase and may buy another. I may update if the fan stops working or to talk about battery life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Small but PowerfulThis little fan is perfect for my desk! It plugs right into a USB port and gives off a strong, quiet breeze that keeps me cool while I work. Compact, lightweight, and easy to move around—great for small spaces or travel. Definitely worth it!

This review is based on first impressions only from a person who is a big fan (NO pun) of Honeywell fans usually being the HT800 or HT 900 series (just happens to be what i have).... I threw this into an order when i saw the price drop a few dollars with the idea of using it when the power goes out here in Florida where its a triple digit heat index in the summer. I am VERY impressed for this little thing and how much power the fan has ... I mean manage expectations, it IS a small fan... but with these sorts of fans and "no name brands" ... sometimes the power can be "meh ... better than nothing" ... but just like those other Honeywell fans I mentioned, this little thing is powerful and having extra power banks and the option of using this via a USB cord ... I HAVE HEARD (cant say for sure for the record) that this can last for a few hours with a decent quality fully charged power bank.My only issue" so to speak and i am not sure if the power requirement may need this.... is the priority connector for usb ... it's like a round "laptop like" connector on the fan end and USB-A on the other ... i'd like it if the fan end was say USB C to usb A so if i lose this cable i could just use an extra one that I already have ... though for $11 (what i paid) it's not bad to get another fan just to get another cableOne other thing i'd like is a battery pack ... removable so you dont overcharge it if you dont want to but something that is sort of like my "power bank" idea built in ... though I am sure that'd increase the price and really you can just get rechargable AA's (say the lithin/whatever types) and have the same effect.Really my "issues" or "i wish it had .." with this fan are nit-picking. Having extra power banks i can use and also a number of batteries too .... I dont worry about comfort if the power goes out in the hundred degree heat (F), here

it sits up and you can use the "stand" to hang it too. recommended.

It works as described

I chose this brand over the other options from unknown manufacturers. Popped brand new batteries and turned it on. While on the phone, I heard a loud pop and a hissing noise. I looked at the fan, upon touch it was hot so I immediately pulled out the battery cartridge. It was oozing liquid from the batteries. Mind you, my batteries were new so I’m thinking the actual product was overheated the batteries because all 4 were oozing liquid.I’m not an engineer so I can’t point a finger at the exact issue but if you buy this product, keep an eye on it on the initial set up. Maybe this wasn’t meant to be on for more than 30minutes. I get overheated when blow drying my hair so the intended use was to have a breeze while I domy hair and makeup.

IF that's all you want then go ahead and buy it. At 9.50 the sale price was too tempting to resist. Unfortunately I bought it in the middle of winter (who's looking at the weather when buying on sale ?! ;) and started using it last week as it finally started to warm up. That's when I discovered to my disappointment, that it only turns on and off and only moves forward and back and for some reason that really doesn't feel good enough.The table top fan in my vanity is equally small but it has 3 speeds and on hot days... well that makes all the difference.Also, if you want to plug it to the main power outlet you'll need a usb converter plug because it only comes with a usb cable. Price is great but if you don't mind a few extra dollars, I suggest you get a better product.
