Product description

About this product

This is the least complicated fan we stock, and for a lot of people that is the right choice. There is no folding hinge, no LED display, no neck strap – just a motor, a blade and a switch. Every mechanism a small device does not have is a mechanism that cannot fail.
It is built around airflow for the size. High-speed motors in small fans trade battery life for output, so expect a shorter run at full speed than you would get from a larger unit – the compensation is that it actually fits in a pocket.
Where it earns its place is the ordinary heat of a Dar es Salaam day: sitting in traffic, standing in a queue at a bank, at a desk where the air is not moving. Anywhere you are stationary and the air is not.
It will not cool a room, and in high humidity the effect is less than the same fan would give in dry heat – moving air helps sweat evaporate, and sweat evaporates slowly here. It is still the difference between uncomfortable and tolerable when you are sitting still.
Battery capacity, runtime and speed settings are not published by the supplier. We have asked rather than guess.

Questions

Good to know

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship countrywide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Mbeya, Zanzibar and the rest of Tanzania.

Does a small fan actually help in this heat?

It does not lower the air temperature - it moves air across your skin, which speeds up evaporation and makes you feel cooler. In Dar es Salaam humidity that effect is weaker than in dry heat, because sweat evaporates more slowly to begin with. It is genuinely useful sitting still at a desk, in a queue or on a bus. It will not cool a room.

How long does a charge last?

It depends almost entirely on the speed you run it at, and the difference is large - the top speed can drain a battery several times faster than the lowest. Manufacturers quote the figure at the lowest setting. Where we have a published runtime we give it; where we do not, we say so rather than repeat a number we cannot source.

Is it any use during a power cut?

That is one of the better arguments for a rechargeable fan. When the power goes, a charged fan keeps working - so it is worth charging it as a matter of habit rather than only when you plan to use it. Keep it topped up and it is there when you need it.

Will dust affect it?

Yes, and it is the main thing that shortens the life of a small fan here. Dust builds on the blades, unbalances them and makes the motor work harder and louder. Wipe the blades with a dry cloth every few weeks - do not run water into the housing.

Can I take it on a plane?

Anything with a built-in lithium battery travels in your cabin bag, never in checked luggage - that is a firm rule across every airline flying out of Julius Nyerere. A small personal fan is well within the capacity limits and is not a problem to carry.

Does humidity harm it?

Coastal air corrodes exposed contacts and charging ports over time. Keep the port covered or facing down when it is not in use, and do not store the fan in a sealed damp bag for months. If it is going away for a season, charge it to about half first - a lithium cell left completely flat for months may not recover.

Is it safe around children?

Check the guard before you hand any fan to a small child - the spacing of the grille is what stops fingers reaching the blades. Bladeless and soft-blade designs are safer in that respect. Supervise young children with any fan that has a conventional rigid blade.
