Buy RoadPro RPSC-857 12-Volt Tornado Fan with Removable Mounting Clip

Customer Ratings:

Delivering mail in my postal vehicle in the summertime in Florida gets kinda warm...can you spell H-A-D-E-S? The little fan that is installed in our trucks doesn't provide much relief and has limited range so for years I've been buying the clip-on fans sold at Wally World only to have each and every one blow a fuse or break within a month or so. The specified fuses on these junkers are impossible to find and replacements that were recommended at Radio Shack would blow almost immediately. But those fans were the only ones I could find locally so this year I decided to try something else and ordered this Tornado Fan and so far (about a month) I'm very happy with it. YES it is loud at high speed but the postal vehicle's built in fan is very loud as well so thats a wash as far as I'm concerned. The variable speed on the Tornado fan means you can adjust it to your liking and quickly turn it down to a relative whisper when you need to. There is a non-adjustable version of this fan but for a couple extra bucks in my opinion you get much more usability with that variable speed. If you listen to the radio in your vehicle the noise may be too much but if you're just working and driving and humming your own tunes this fan will help you be more comfortable.

This fan is very efficient and powerful, but makes a loud sound like a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner. I am a trucker so the sound doesn't bother me, but my friends hate it.

This fan is very popular with truck drivers who need to defrost their windshield in super icy conditions (turn heater on full blast, blow heat from dash/upper vents all over windshield, roll windows to regulate)

This fan has probably saved my life a couple times in Colorado for that, when the wipers ice up, you are screwed! Sometimes its so cold window wash doesn't help So this worked!

The pros:

works very efficiently, has dial to turn down the noise at lower speeds

The cons: Motor is cheap, may require removing and lubricating motor over lifetime of product,

NOISE

vibration

plastic mounting attachment breaks eventually before the fan gives out. (I make my own bracket then)

Keep kids fingers out of there, it will break them.

If you have no car AC, this will help you out for $20.

Best Deals on RoadPro RPSC-857 12-Volt Tornado Fan with Removable Mounting Clip

I can't for the life of me imagine someone being able to try this first, then one of the dozen or so alternatives, then purchasing this. I can best compare it to my red TORO 110/120 volt leaf blower in noise output. It simply doesn't need to be this loud. Only positive attributes are its compact form factor and strong clip. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, or wish to soon be that way, this product is for you. Otherwise keep looking or you can buy mine at my next garage sale. I turned it on and then put it in a drawer and it's been there since.

Honest reviews on RoadPro RPSC-857 12-Volt Tornado Fan with Removable Mounting Clip

This fan is bigger than you think. It's 11" tall, 8" deep and 5" wide.

You can clip it on to something or bolt it down permanently (hardware included). It aims wherever you want it.

I like it, glad I bought it. It doubles as a hair dryer or tent dryer on camping trips!

This fan moves and unbelievable amount of air, but when people say its *loud*..... On the highest setting it's probably going to be unbearable to most people. I have a high tolerance for noise and noisy equipment (construction) but this fan is LOUD, even to me.

On high, the RoadPro Turbo Fan easily drowns out the sounds of my 350 V8 engine, headers, dual exhaust, AND my 38" mud tires. My stereo can't even do that ;)

This fan does what is expected for a small DC plugged fan. I bought 3 others, and this one probably puts out more air flow than all 3 combined.
