which one do you have?
The one in the link.
Since I have my Xiaomi power banks its easy to keep it running every single night, perfect when its hot while camping etc.
The same one you posted Bunnings had them on clearance for $5 usually $20 different brand same specs.

Anything with 18 mini-leds instead of one proper led is going to be crap.
One of those xiaomi usb fans plugged into a powerbank makes more sense. At least you can aim it.
A 16cm "ceiling fan" off 2 d-cells is just stupid.
For lighting, either use head-lamps, or get a proper 12V lighting system.
I agree the one posted is no good.
But the one I posted can be aimed, has a powerful light, and has a powerful fan.
That's what rechargable batteries are for.
Are you going to bring your battery recharger with you camping? To plug into your car or something?
It's a fair point, I suppose it depends how long you are camping for. Normally I take as many batteries as I will need. The solar rechargers are also an option.
Hmmm do you really want to go camping with pyr0maniac and a fan? Sounds dangerous to me!
I bought this exact item a little while back and have used it maybe 5 times. The fan still works but the LEDs are unreliable and flash intermittently. The kids can’t sleep with it on and it puts my wife in to a bad mood (the flashing light make me mad too).
I don’t recommend this item.
You can just say it's crap if you want to, no need to beat around the bush.
While I agree with everyone that it's probably a piece of crap, I only posted it because it's $9. If nothing else, use it as a backup fan.
I bought a Romoss Powebank (2 usb outputs) on special for ~$20, a Xiaomi usb light and fan ~$3-$4. Not sure if I still need this, especially I only have AA and AAA rechargeable battery.
It looks like a good price for a tent fan delivered. I checked a similar one out the other day in a shop and found it wouldn't be sufficient for me in a hot night. I'm thinking about getting something like https://www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sale/oztrail-rechargeable-f… however most of the time i camp at powered sites and can use a normal 240v one
“……..however most of the time i camp at powered sites …..”
Camping in a tent at a powered site? Is that real camping? :)
It camping enough when you have 3 kids under the age of 5….
Fair enough, I’ll pay that :)
Looks like the adventure kings one from 4wd supacentre that everyone has been raving about and has good reviews except that’s $19.95 plus $10 postage

Had one of these, at best i call it horrible.
I have two of these, and the fan is big, has good power (well, for portable fans, ofc they're no Vornados) and lasts a while. They served me well a couple of years back when the missus and I had to sleep in the car once on a hot night because the accomodation we booked was mysteriously closed when we arrived in the middle of nowhere.
I have found the screw cap on the back comes off fairly easily which is a bit inconvenient. And I can't speak to the LEDs as I haven't really needed them. It's also somewhat bulky but I'll take that for a good portable fan.
To me this is junk simply because its not rechargeable or can't be powered by a usb power bank.
I have one that I got on special for $30 that can and its great, it can even charge my phone. https://www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sale/oztrail-portable-fan-l…
It is $9 though…
