Suggested Outdoor Battery-Powered Fan

[swampgator352]

Hi all, anyone have a favorite outdoor fan they recommend? Our use case for this would be for tailgating and other off-grid uses where we won't have electrical hookups. I would like to avoid running the generator for power or relying on our inverter.

Options I am considering include one from GeekAire, CanopyBreeze, and Ryobi.

Anyone have a favorite or another option I might not be thinking of?

I have a couple of these (o2cool) which work great, are quiet, and have held up for years:

Ryobi makes smaller fans at about 1/5th the price.
If your battery base is already ryobi, buy the ryobi. Pick a battery platform and stay with it.
A couple or three smaller fans might better distribute air without the annoyance a big fan can be.

This fan is battery OR 120v.

I have lots of ryobi stuff(including a first generation fan) and am perfectly happy with it all.

If only they had designed it with the ability to charge the battery when using the extension cord.

Almost as bad,
Their 6-gang charger only charges one battery at a time.
Full charge battery one, move on to two. Full charge on two, move on to three.

I built this to combat the problem.
Charges four at once.
