My latest piece of gear....O2Cool

http://www.o2-cool.com/battery_overview.php

10" 2 speed,..Best part it works with Batteries or AC adapter Incl. & folds up too. I don't play without a fan on stage, learned that lesson from my nightclub days when smoking was permitted in clubs .
Comes in a 5" version also.

Donny how does it fold up?

OldNewb....the batteries go in the base 8D size for the 10" model last approx 3 days........and then you just fold the fan flat against the base you can see the hinges on bottom.
2 speeds also.
The handle tucks in also.



MAXIMUM AIR CIRCULATION. THE MOST POWERFUL FAN OF ITS KIND
LIGHTWEIGHT & TRULY PORTABLE (less than 3 lbs. without the batteries or adapter)
FOLDING DESIGN – EASY FOR TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE.
UP TO 72 HOURS BATTERY LIFE UNDER TYPICAL USE (ALKALINE BATTERIES)
AC/DC ADAPTER JACK (ADAPTER IS INCLUDED) WHEN BATTERY USE IS NOT REQUIRED FOR INDOOR USE

I've used one of those in my golf cart for several years. It will use batteries, ac, or dc with adapters.
DonM

I hear you Don,.....many of my dancers at my club, etc,.. also use the 5" table version all the time, the battery option is perfect on the road........bingo players love em too.

5" model..

Donny, what happened to your Turbo Fan? Mine still works great, they still make them and they're under $20. I would think you would have purchased another Turbo, no batteries or wall wart to contend with, less stuff to worry about, less stuff to carry. Whasup?

Gary on my turbo the pivots locks on the sides wore away wouldn't stay tiled plus the wire broke right where it goes into the motor.....it did its duty nicely,....but alas, it's time to move on,..this new one is slim and trim folded and goes right in my SKB utility box, the battery option is kool also...

I use this one, it has 3 speeds, and adjustable aiming.

Pulls from the side, instead behind, which helps.

Frank wow!! that looks like one of those fans they dry rugs in the casinos with???? Yikes!! .....do you use it on stage all the time? how big is it? looks powerful!

How quiet is it? That's basically my main criteria when choosing a fan. I'm still a fan of the Vornado type of fully enclosed fan blades (which are what make the most noise) for gig cooling.

Main thing is to be ultra careful of not getting any of the flow on the mike... or you will be rumbling all night long!

This is the quietest fan I've had so far.
