    Thanks, was looking at a bigger portable fan for camping.

    Hmm, read some reviews. On low it only lasts 2 hours, high is less than an hour and around 6 hours or more to charge. I don’t think I will buy now.

      Yeh thats why its cheaper then the newer generation ones as its got older battery tech in it. The newer ones have Lithium Ion and will last longer

      • PVA on 23/09/2020 - 10:23

        How do you know new from old. Is the box different?

        • worthy1 on 23/09/2020 - 15:14

          There is no new 12" coleman fan so they are all old. Its a clearance line. Other brand fans of similar size that are newer are twice the price and will advertise on the box that they have Li ION batteries.

          • PVA on 23/09/2020 - 17:19

            @worthy1: Ah, I read it wrong.

            I bought one anyway to try in the Van next week. If it’s no good I will return.

            Got it home and the 240v lead was missing. Got to go back again!,

            I only see two different styles around this size. They either look exactly like this Coleman or another that’s very close the same. I guess all sources do from the same factory.

              @PVA: Please let me know if it is any good. I also thinking of buying one but not sure of the quality after reading all the bed reviews.

            • worthy1 on 23/09/2020 - 17:54

              @PVA: Yup, the style of the fans prob wont every change, much like home fans. Just the internals and especially the battery tech. Depends what you need it for, if you plug it into 240 a lot then it should be a great fan, its the battery life that gets the complaints so if you barely run it off the batteries then that wont be a problem.

              • Iluvfreebies-freeDel on 23/09/2020 - 18:05

                @worthy1: I would be using this on battery, I would skip this. Thank you for your reply.

              • PVA on 23/09/2020 - 22:59

                @worthy1: I meant even the plastic mouldings are all the same. Seems a generic camping fan that many put their name on.

              • PVA on 25/09/2020 - 17:27

                @worthy1: As I commented, so far it’s been going on battery for 5 and a half hours, and still going. I don’t think that’s too bad really.

  • nica80 on 22/09/2020 - 12:18

    Showing $79 for me. Is it a location thing?

    • Coastie on 22/09/2020 - 12:21

      That's weird, which state are you in?

      • nica80 on 22/09/2020 - 12:22

        ACT -

        • Coastie on 22/09/2020 - 12:29

          Maybe try changing your local store- it is still coming up as $49 for me at Big W Canberra City for e.g. OR use a VPN?

    • PVA on 22/09/2020 - 12:57

      Said $79 for me until I chose a location, then said $49

  • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2020 - 12:20

    Showing $79 for me. BCF has it for $50 though.

      I’ve got the smaller version and it’s been fine. Used it heaps on battery around the house last summer for a bit of localized breeze in lieu of using the A/C . Probably paid for itself already.

      • PVA on 23/09/2020 - 23:01

        How long does it run on the battery for and how long does charging take?

        • watts on 24/09/2020 - 00:22
          +1

          Specs say 4hrs high, 6hrs low, 8hrs charge.
          I never quantified but sounds about right if not a bit optimistic in run time.

          I recall thinking ‘thats crap, I’ll never get a full charge during the day or run all night’, but I bought it anyway because forecast was a scorcher and was very glad I did. It’s ok in reality because there’d be enough runtime to get to sleep. Biggest gripe is there’s no timer to conserve battery.

          I bought for camping but have used most around the house. Bloody handy having the small form factor and portability sometimes. It paid for itself 100x the night we came home to a blackout, in a heatwave with a 1day old baby.

    Doesn't have a light, but i'd recommend this one if you have existing Ozito stuff.

    Can just swap batteries over if the battery dies etc.

    Use zip pay to get $20 zip pay credit for $50 or more spent.

    This was one option I considered when looking for a general purpose battery-powered indoor fan for power outages and such last summer, but ended up going with the Heller HPCF45 (also sold under various other names) and would recommend that one. Very flexible with the pedestal, neat/compact storage when collapsed. Runs almost 19 hours on low speed from my testing, which is already enough for a pretty decent breeze - not as powerful as a mains powered pedestal fan, but way better than crappy little personal battery powered fans. 8.5 hours on medium. Haven't tested high but specs suggest 4-5 hours.

    Only wish is that they'd have a battery receptacle instead of them being internal (cracked one open and they run on four 18650s). EDIT: Battery pic for the curious: https://i.imgur.com/FkE24na.jpg

    Hi
    Can any one share the feedback Comparing with SCA portable fan https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-box-fan-300mm/58… with this Coleman Fan

    • PVA on 25/09/2020 - 17:30

      That’s just a 240volt fan, its not a camping one that you can plug into cigarette socket or run on it’s rechargeable battery.

    As someone else suggested, if you have a certain brand of power tool, you are better of getting a fan skin imo. Well for us anyway with the Hitachi/Hikoki batteries we have from buying some cordless tools second hand…

    We haven't bought a fan skin yet but I am inspired now having seen this deal and realising we will need one for camping in summer.

      I looked into that option and bought the Coleman. Makita fan skin was $150 and I can’t charge batteries from 230v when I’m camping. The Coleman charges and can be powered direct from 12v.

      • The Hobo on 23/09/2020 - 00:23

        The Ozito is 59, and can be powered by 12v. It can't be charged via 12v though.

        I have enough ozito batteries around to make it easy to switch over etc.

        If you're charging with 12V, you could run an inverter. (just another option)

          The Ozito is 59, and can be powered by 12v. It can't be charged via 12v though.

          no good for me since I didn't have 12V power at night, when you actually need the fan, but did have 12v during the day to charge.

          If you're charging with 12V, you could run an inverter. (just another option)

          I considered plenty of options (including ozito, inverters etc) and decided spending <$40 on the Coleman was the best for me. Other options would have cost ~3x to give the functionality I needed.
