RoadPro RPSC-857 12-Volt Tornado Truck Fan with Mounting Clip, Small 12v Cooling Fan, Black

Great quality

This is my third one of these Roadpro Tornado fan that I have! I always have one in the house, one in the car and one in storage an extra for backup in case of power outages. In power outage situations I plug it in my solar generator and clip the fan on the handle of the generator! These fans give you a whole lot of bang for the wattage buck! This compact fan moves as much air as a 12" standing floor fan for MUCH LESS power usage. Yes, is it a bit loud when cranked all the way up but when you need to cool off in 100+ degrees, I'm NOT going to be a whiny little baby about it as long as it cools me down and keeps me cool. It's not that noisy from mid setting on down which is where I keep it set on and that is plenty of air. The seller shipped very fast and again, I am VERY happy with this purchase! I may even get another one for the car as a backup. The original and oldest one I have is still going strong for 8 years now with almost daily use! Excellent Quality!

I’m a heavy equipment operator. Sometimes I’m in a machine with no AC. It’s like sitting in a fish bowl. I measured the temperature inside once. It is 15-20 degrees hotter in the machines than outside. The law don’t even allow dogs to be inside hot cars but ppl are allowed because contractors must have production.I have 2 fans in whatever piece of equipment I operate. It may be only moving hot air, but the moving air evaporates my sweat which is what cools down your body. Saved me from getting heat exhaustion again.

Blows a surprising amount of air on full blast (I have it mounted at arms length). Quite noisy at full speed, like a hairdryer, but I use in a semi tractor, so no issues with that for me, but for some in a car, perhaps noise could be an issue, but the trade off for air movement should be worthwhile for most I believe. I like it's performance but am worried about the electrical plugs build quality. Everything is plastic. The fan and housing are "ok" but I wouldn't want to drop it onto concrete getting in and out of vehicle, I have feeling it would break. The clip is very strong and the mounting arm is fine and its adjustability is GREAT. However, the electrical cord and the cig lighter adapter are EXTREMELY cheap feeling. There were no "new" when I purchased so I did the amazon warehouse deal (meaning returned item). Packaging was taped back together and box was undamaged when I recv'd, yet when I first plugged it in it had no juice, nothing. I thought I had a dead unit. I plugged and unplugged repeatedly until it finally fired to life. This was after I inserted the plug into the lighter socket and sorta twisted it and really jammed it in there. Only then is there positive contact. So I am worried about longevity. Using this technique it does work every time now, but still occasionally have to give it an extra 1/4 inch nudge further into cig lighter.... then the fan really cranks! Considering returning for a different unit, but am sure all of them have the same cheap plugs, so may keep it as I am otherwise very happy. If died in first year I'd buy another, I only paid $18.76 warehouse deal so..... One other note the fan must pull a good amount of juice as the adapter (where you adjust speed) gets quite warm. I have GPS, Dashcam and at other times plug in an ac conversion adapter and none of those cig adapters have ever gotten even the slightest bit warm, this one does.

The fan power is very impressive and was stronger than I expected. The fan itself appears well made and stout. The only concern I have is the speed control which is mounted on the plug as it seems to be a little less heavy duty than the fan is. However, it functions well and so far has not been a problem. All in all very happy with the fan.

Extremely powerful and plugs in a cigarette lighter. You will be impressed at just how much cooler this little fan will keep you or and the better half on a long hot day of riding. Couldn't believe how well it worked. It's been wet and covered with mud and still keeps own running. Aplus offroad fan!

This is exactly what I had been searching for to use on my vintage truck in the summer. Having tried numerous other battery operated fans, they never really put out that much air to help cool the cabin. This little unit is a powerhouse. It is fully adjustable, clips firmly on my dash and works incredibly well. The 12V power source is perfect, as I don’t have to fret running out of battery like the other units. Where the heck has this fan been all my life. Don’t hesitate to try this in your rig if you’re after some extra forced air. It works extremely well!

I bought this fan because my vehicle is currently without air conditioning, and where I live that is not only uncomfortable, it's dangerous, at least for 5-6 months out of the year.Even on the highest setting - which is louder than an old hairdryer - it did nothing to cool the vehicle's interior, even when my passenger resorted to holding it up to his face. Also, even on the lowest setting, there is a constant high-pitched whining noise, which is both irritating - it set my teeth on edge, and only ten minutes of it was enough to give me a headache - and dangerously distracting for the driver.The temporary clip - understandably, I didn't get a chance to try the permanent mount - was a little wobbly, but worked well enough. The bolts that hold the two adjustable points on the mounting arm could not be physically tightened enough to keep it from moving, however, and there was no way to lock the side-to-side swivel of the fan itself, so it would change position when going over a bump.I wouldn't recommend this product at all; if it was actually functional as a cooling fan I would, for those who could put up with the noise, but it simply didn't. I'm returning mine.
