Title: Great! WHEN it works.
Product review: I bought this fan for a week of camping in the Ozarks. I was absolutely thrilled to see the unit ran all night for the first two nights on a single battery. As a precaution I changed the battery on the third night. The unit was not working in the morning. Assuming it was a bad battery I changed it. It slowly began to run and just stopped. I was unable to get the unit to run any longer than a couple of minutes at a time, and then only by spinning the blades to get it started. I gave up after the fourth night and eight batteries later. We disassembled the unit and bypassed the switch. Still nothing. By squeezing the motor, we got it running well. Clearly the motor wasn't up to the task as the brushes were most likely gone. This was unfortunate as the unit provided a decent flow of air, and was quiet enough to sleep with. However, the tiny motor is not good quality. Also, it costs just enough to be frustrating, but not enough to go through the frustration of returning.
