It’s a life saver. I have used it at work to keep from getting drenched in sweat. I keep it on low and get a nice breeze up my neck and cheeks. It’s not super lightweight, but it’s also just heavy enough not to move around too much bending and leaning over.

It’s a little loud on high, but I guess if you need that much air to blow, you’ll tolerate it. I don’t know about battery life since I have only used it a few hours at a time.
