I purchased the original Handy a few weeks ago and decided I liked it so much I would get a second to keep in the car and thought I'd try a cheaper version. First impression was it was identical, but on closer inspection it is more cheaply made and a side by side comparison revealed the Handy put out noticeably more air. However, it is compatible with the AC plug and extension tube I bought for the Handy and does provide a significant cooling effect.

I'll still reach for the Handy on really hot days, but as a cheap alternative I think this is satisfactory.

Not a strong fan, the sponge did have a weird sulfur smell. After wash it with dish washing liquid, it seems to be ok. Soak & freeze the sponge, take it out when needed. That seems to work relatively well.

My main use for it was going to be in my car. My car gets very hot inside when I turn the car off to run in somewhere. I thought I could reduce the gas used in my car by the AC if I didn't have to blast it to cool the car back down every time I run in somewhere for 15 minutes.

Long story short, this doesn't cool the air at all. Especially not to the 30 degrees as stated in the description. The easiest way I proved this was by letting the air blow directly on my face with a wet sponge inside, then removing the sponge and just letting the fan blow air on my face. There was no difference in temperature at all. I even had a few friends help me compare it and they also said they couldn't tell a difference with or without the sponge.

I also tried freezing the sponge as some other people had suggested. Still no difference. In fact, this just makes... Read more
