All, Honestly, I have been very, very happy with the battery-powered Caframo crew fans. They take four D batteries and are very powerful as well as portable. They say you can get up to 300 hours of power from them on a fresh set of batteries. They have a high/low setting and a variable speed control knob.
And, as a real shocker, the lowest price I found for them, far lower than Defender, was at West Marine (http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--battery-powered-crew-fans--P012_361_002_504). $20. I have four on board and we move them around to whatever area of the boat we are using, which is far better than trying to catch a breeze from a mounted fan. They are especially great when working in tight spaces in New York’s July and August. All the best, Edd Edd M.
