Get a Battery Operated Fan for Portable Relief from the Heat

When you hear the words battery operated fan you might find yourself thinking of poorly manufactured, underpowered devices that could barely bend a blade of grass let alone give you any relief from the heat. They may fit in your pocket but the usefulness of these cheap devices to produce any degree of cooling is suspect.

Fortunately you can get many more styles of battery operated fans that are suitable for a wide range of environments. One particular model even comes with its own little humidifier. It's no surprise then that you need to think about the type of use you are going to put your fan to. Is it going to be mainly used in an office environment or is it going to keep the air in your tent circulated?

If you camp regularly you have more than likely heard of Coleman who make many excellent models specifically for the camping enthusiast. One of their models conveniently hangs out of the way on the roof of the tent. If you need to feel the breeze a bit more free standing ones are designed to sit on the floor. One of their models can run for 21 hours straight on a set of 4 x D cell batteries

For those who like everything to have a dual use you can purchase battery operated fans that include a light as well. Most of these camping fans have an ingenious method of attachment. Powerful magnetic plates on either side of the tent wall enable you to attach it anywhere. Those all too frequent night visits are also catered for with a low powered night light giving you just enough illumination to stop you from accidentally stepping on your fellow campers.

For a little more cooling power you might like to check out what's available in misting fans. Misting fans achieve an extra cooling effect by spraying a fine mist of water in front of the fan blades. The evaporative effect helps cool your skin and the surrounding air more effectively than just moving air around. The evaporative cooling effect can also be found in portable battery operated air coolers. Air passes over a wet sponge where it is cooled and is then vented out to exactly where you need it.

Personal battery operated humidifiers can also have health benefits for people with allergies. By keeping the air around you moist your throat and passages won't dry out and become uncomfortable. Careful monitoring is required though as too much moisture will create excellent conditions for mold and dust mites to thrive.
