How long does the battery last on a charge?

Expect a few hours on the low setting and well under two hours on high. Runtime drops as the battery ages and in hot weather.

Can it really charge a phone?

It can top up a phone in an emergency, but the built-in battery is small and will not fully charge most smartphones.

It is smaller and adds a power bank and light, but a larger handheld fan moves more air and runs longer per charge.

Yes, it is light and easy for children to hold, but the small parts and folding design mean younger kids should be supervised.

Typically the fan, a short USB charging cable and a basic strap or lanyard. A wall adapter is usually not included.

Most units will run plugged into USB, though airflow may be weaker and the battery will charge slowly.
