Testing and comparing 14 different portable handheld fans, not just another telemarketing video to farm affiliate revenue or promote my dropshipping website.. Because if Otto von Bismarck was alive he would probably add “product descriptions” to his famous quote:
“People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war, or before an election”

My cablebox video:    • Built in custom power strip - the LDN...  

This video took months to make and was over half an hour long, but since probably not that many would want to watch a ton of details that don’t even matter in the end (due to most fans being pretty much trash) I had to omit, skip and simplify.

Each fan was tested at least 3 times on each setting - to listen to the sound signature, test wind and audio level fluctuations. Powered via power banks, computers, phones via otg, power bricks - both smart and powerful and cheap/old/Apple 5V1A, 5V2A…

I can upload bigger audio samples somewhere for you to have a better listen, YouTube sort of messes it up a bit (and takes a LONG LONG time to even find out about it, the original video file is over 60GB that takes 2-3 hours to upload, than about the same time to process… rinse and repeat - wasting days on just that)

The wind spread is also hard to demonstrate and depends on the distance. Initially I was going for 3 different “distances” - handheld with bent arm, stretched out hand and a bit further…
But again that would require making the video even longer (and no good way to demonstrate as I don’t have specialized tools.. Moving the anemometer for a few centimeters, recording the results and trying to make a 3D visualization would require an insane amount of effort when the TLDR: Xiaomi fan has the best performance, the turbine fan is probably second place as far as blowing air into a very focused tiny area).
