O2-Cool Carabiner Water Misting Fan



Chinese knockoff, not 02 Cool brand
The misters I received had fallen out of their cheaply constructed boxes by the time they arrived. They did not display the 02 Cool brand name anywhere on the box or product, instead they were labeled "Cooling You" in Coca Cola's font style. I tested each one and three of the four seem to have strong fans while the fourth had a decent fan. The sprayers all worked. If you want the real McCoy go to WalMart and buy it there instead.

Exactly what we needed for Disney
We used this during a particularly hot week at Disneyworld. Coupled with some water spritzes the fan did a great job of cooling us off in line or walking around the park. And we found that it's so small you can attach it to your belt loop and not even realize it's there until you want it. It's so small that even on things like splash mountain or Expidition Everest you can keep it attatched to your belt loop.

I'm sad some of the other reviewers fan didn't work well. I'd recommend testing it out before your trip and send in for a free exchange if you run into that problem. Since this is sold via Amazon prime you can ship it back for free and get another one that does work.

Bought elsewhere, pleased with product
Work exactly as advertised and perfect for our trip to Disney. Don't get suckered into buying one of the full sized expensive ones while you're at the park. They're hell to lug around and you'll regret it immediately if you don't have a stroller or something to throw them into. These clipped right to the kids backpacks and we had no issues with functionality. While they may seem expensive (we bought them for $5 each plus shipping elsewhere) it is better than the alternative of going without or lugging around huge ones. I doubt they'll last for years to come, but they worked just fine for intermittent use over 5 days. If they aren't working next time we go, I wouldn't hesitate to grab another set. If I had to change something about the design, I would have preferred a "real" carabiner (it was just a plastic keychain pull style) and the misting button would have been easier for our 6 year old to operate. The adults and older kids in our party had no problems, but it's not super...
