i just bought a 19" freestand one @ walgreens for $15
What kind of batteries does it take and how many?
I meant to type 10 inches, not 19...whoops. And it takes 8 D batteries [eek] which provieds 72 hrs of battery life [according to the box]. The handle also has a hook attatched, but I'm not sure if it would be too heavy to hang in a tent or not.
when i went to wal mart the other day, i saw the one you were talking about rooskew and i also saw a coleman one too. i think the coleman was just as big and took only 4 batteries. the coleman is suppose to be able to run 24 hrs on hi and 48 on low for each set of batteries...
2 speeds and a LED lamp in the middle for fiddling around in the tent at night. Turning this on at 7am allowed me to sleep in another 2 hours before the sun broke up the party.
question is...how well to these fans actually work in the bonnaroo heat? do they really cool things down in your tent or do they just circulate the hot air??

Fans cool by hastening the evaporation of sweat thereby cooling you faster. A slight breeze is usually all that is needed to keep yourself cool enough to sleep.

The 10" @ Wally takes batteries, BUT they last FOREVER. I used only that fan last year, and I've still got the same batteries in it and they are still going strong. And that thing can BLOW! Plus you can hang it (it has a hook), and it has a flip-out base. Highly recommended.
