12V or USB Fan

[Sharon the Cat]

Can anyone recommend a good one? Would a USB one be too weedy to bother with?

With the electrics in our lounge we could either have 1 x 12V or 2 x Bluetooth.

Any fan of 6" diameter (minimum) and above should be fine.

I have a few of the little usb 5v units, we carry one always in the van and it works well at moving the air when stopped.
WE got them at £2.50 each reduced in tesco if i remember correctly, one thing i will say is they move air but no fan will cool.

We have one of these in our van works a treat rechargeable runs all night on a single charge and if you stand a bottle of frozen water in front of it to cool down.

Don't buy cheap one, as we did off ebay sounds like 747 airplane take in off.

 

[Greengrass]

The wife sleeps though the one's we have had them about 4years now

I can't even hear our van alarm going off when inside it without hearing aids.

There are proper cooler units on the market but not cheap, they have a mini fridge within which does cool the aire, think ones i seen were called artic breeze and around £20 plus, many are mains only and will require an inverter which will be hard on batteries.

We now have both a 12V, thank you @Greengrass and also a USB rechargeable, thank you @Campervanannie on order. We will also have some bottles of water in the freezer.
Best of all, being the shorter one, I get the bed with a shelf at the end with room for a fan.

Remember a fan wont cool you, it just moves the air around, thats why cars have aircon these days and not just the fan.

After reading Annie's review I ordered one of these, I have hearing problems due to living with a noisy woman so a noisy fan wouldn't bother me but Maggy hears the slightest noise when sleeping, it arrived yesterday so I put it on charge and I placed it on the dressing table on her side, on the lowest setting she couldn't hear it and it blew a gentle breeze over both of us, I will use it in the car for the dog in the back as well without any fear of it draining the car battery.
Thanks Annie, I would recommend this to anyone

 

[Campervanannie]

I have 3 one in the van and 2 in the house even on full speed they aren’t that noisy.

You have heard Maggy at full blast haven't you

I will order a few more, one for when I am in the doghouse and a spare

My thoughts exactly. Ours arrived yesterday. It's a really neat, well made unit.
Thanks Annie for the recommendation, I'm glad I asked as I hadn't come across these in searches.

 

[Sharon the Cat]

And the Greengrass suggestion arrived today. I'm well pleased with this one too.
The noise won't bother me and if it bothers Phill he can always sleep outside.
