OPOLAR BATTERY FAN ~ A Great Cooling Source For Emergencies….

This is the second of a two-part series about devices for events like hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, storms, floods and power outages. Last month we featured the AYL 1800LM RECHARGEABLE LED Lantern. Today, we’re featuring the OPOLAR ZD201 RECHARGEABLE Portable Battery-Operated Fan. What makes this rechargeable battery-operated, eight-inch fan quite unique is its compact foldability while still maintaining an adjustable height range of 14.2” – 40”. Yes, you read it correctly. It can actually go from being a desktop fan to a floor standing model and still collapse into a disc shaped storage capsule that’s under eight-inches in diameter and can easily be stored under most beds. It’s remote controllable with controls for oscillation, timer, on/off, 3 speeds and a natural wind setting. The oscillating angle is 90° with a rotation angle of its head that exceeds 180°. It has one, two, three and four-hour operational timing modes with the built-in timer, and has an under 40db noise level at its highest speed. That’s the same noise level as you may find in a quiet office. It uses a USB charger, not included, with a charging time of a 4.5-5.5 hour charging time. Depending on the speed you have it set at, and if oscillation is used, it can run between 5 to 11.5 hours per charge. This could easily be a life saver when your power is out, or even be useful when camping. A great way to keep your cool when the power is out!
