Comments about Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light:

First off, I don't backpack. My friends car camp so we can be closer to trails for mountain biking. If you are backcountry camping, the 4D cells this requires probably makes it too heavy for you

I picked this up as an impulse buy, but it always goes in the bag now. It does a good job of circulating the air in the tent so it never feels stuffy. the light is not particularly bright, but is adequate if you're setting up your tent in the dark.

Comments about Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light:

Needed a hanging light and thought this might be nice.
Did not use the magnet per other reviews, I have loops on all my tents anyway.
The weight of the fan itself is not bad but when you add 4 D batteries it is a bit heavy, my kingdom 8 had no problem with the weight but I own other tents that might struggle with the weight.
The fan moves enough air to take the edge off but don't expect AC.
The night light is nice and will burn a long time if that is your main usage.
The main reason I purchased this was for central tent lighting. The main light is plenty bright but has no dispersion, it puts a bright spot directly under it and the remainder of the tent is inadequately lit.
It also seems a little delicate and is awkward to pack, I will most likely replace this on our next campout…

Service and delivery comments:

Received product promptly, it was in good condition.

    This fan really moves a good amount of air. My North Face tent has a loop 12 inches above me and I am able to have it blowing directly on me. What a relief. I bought one for my girlfriend also. Makes hot summer camping, much, much more comfortable.

    Comments about Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light:

    I have owned 3 of these Coleman fans. They work great and can move some air when they work but they generally break after a year of use, 4-5 camping trips. They are not very durable so if you drop it be prepared to buy a new one. Also you better buy stock in D batteries because it will suck them down. My last one the fan stopped working but the light worked. I never use the light because the four white LED lights are not very bright.

    If they could improve the design by only using 2 or 1 D battery and maybe use a brighter LED like used in a Petzl head lamps I might consider buying it again.

      Comments about Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light:

      this thing seemed like a good idea when i got it, but quickly proved pretty useless - pretty much my general opinion of the company that makes this thing since i was a little kid.

      if you have your rain fly on your tent properly so it ventilates, this thing isn't going to help matters a great deal. we wound up using it more for the night lights than the fan.

      if you had a small tent,were by yourself and had it blowing directly on your chest, it would probably work much better than a 3 person car camping tent with two people.

      also, you wouldn't believe how much room this thing takes up. don't even think about taking it into the backcountry. definitely for car camping with a truck or SUV - something with lots of room for extra stuff.

      Comments about Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light:

      We purchased this fan for a 3 day canoeing trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe area in Northern Minnesota. My girlfriend loves to have a fan to fall asleep to so we figured this was a decent compact solution. The fan worked great for the first night, but on the second night it started losing its fan power. The fan would suddenly stop spinning completely and then start up again. Possibly we just received a bad unit, otherwise it would be pretty sad if they broke on the 2nd day.

        Comments about Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light:

        I bought this fan in an attempt to circulate air during the day in 80 degree temps. I was disappointed that unless you lowered the fan directly above your head, it barely made a difference. We used rope and tied it to the loops in the top of our tent (Hobitat 4). It is very quiet as you can barely hear it, I was just hoping for more of a relief. The LED lights are a nice plus. The night light is a good brightness for seeing things in the tent before bed.

          I camp in the SE, in a 2 man tent. This work great if it is right over your head, cliped to one of the tent loops. Do not use the magnet unless it is on a canvas tents that are put up by BSA Summer Camps.

          The fan runs quiet. It would be better if it would move more air. but in a small tent it is just right.

            You get what you pay for. This fan is great if you hang it directly over you. Don't expect it to cool your whole tent.

            The lights are great. But once again, don't expect it so light up a giant tent.

            Great product for the price.

            We have two of these in our Hobitat 6. Don't use the magnets. Just clip them to the ceiling through the loops. We plan on getting two more to make it WELL ventilated. I use rechargeable D batteries and they worked just fine. The only issue I have is I wish the fan circulated more air. Packing these is also a challenge. Would be great if they came with their own storage bags...

            It would also be a nice addition if the LED lights were on the edge rather than just the middle. That way there would be more illumination. The night light is a nice touch however.
