It keeps the temperature inside of my Camper refrigerator more consistent. So far, I have run it for 26 days on one set of batteries. I do not know how long they will last so we shall see. I read allot of negative reviews on this, but it is working for me. I did install my own switch, (waterproof), in the unit so that I do not have to remove the batteries to shut it off. This will take care of the weak battery door problem, and the switch rusting problem on the model with a built in switch.
Thanks to all the reviewers for pointing out the weaknesses to me so that I could fix the unit before I had a problem!

So I was skeptical of this after reading the reviews. But it works amazing and keeps the fridge cooler. You have to turn it on it’s side so the fan points straight up from the bottom shelf. But it’s flat so it works fine. We have a thermometer in the fridge and it keeps the top so much colder now, before it was much warmer. Give it a try, don’t listen to the naysayers, it doesn’t blow crazy hard, but you can feel a gentle breeze and that’s enough to do the job in a small fridge.

Ever have those times where you just need to step away from the Amazon? That is when I bought this. I was thinking “why doesn’t someone make a baking soda holder that has a small fan” and then saw this and thought this could work. Sometimes we buy dumb things, and here it is.
First, “clack, clack, clack, clack”. Mine seemed to have a rotor fan that is hitting something or is not balanced so we get that sound. My GF complained it sounded like a ticking boom in my fridge. Close the door, and there it is. I joked that at least I can hear when the battery dies.
Second, the battery lasted about 4 days. Ok, I probably can’t expect months from 2 “D Cells” and I am using rechargeable batteries. Better be ready to recharge a lot…if you use disposable you’re in a world of $$$.
Third, the airflow design is weird. The small charcoal packet is above the batteries. There is a side hole for intake and you can see the outlet out the front. Most of the air doesn’t pass over the packet…would have been better to have some tray where air passes over the charcoal (or whatever you are using as a fresher).
So yeah, I’m stupid…I’m not returning because I’m too lazy (and I already threw out the packaging). Of course this wouldn’t be so bad it it wasn’t $20. I’ve bought some useless things on Amazon, but this probably is right up there that got much me much mocking from my GF.

The fan works much better than the blue cube type and takes up about the same space.
The carbon filter option/feature is pretty much useless. It sits inside the battery cover which has some open vent slots….but that compartment isn’t in the path of the airflow so there is no air exchange through the filter whatsoever….would never even consider buying replacement charcoal filter packs as it can’t really do much. You would get more “filtering” if you just lay the pack on one of the shelves by itself.

I own a small refrigerator, I would estimate it to be about 17 cubic inches. It’s design would rely on the natural convective activity that would occur when the evaporator at the top is cold. That may be fine if the fridge is not regularly opened, but as it is in my room it gets opened several times a day, letting that settled cold air at the bottom of the fridge escape.
Using velcro strips I managed to affix the fan at the top back of my fridge, positioned in a way that it would draw air through the evaporator and blow it downwards, displacing the hot air below. The hot air would now rise up to the evaporator by force, then get drawn through the cold evaporator by the fan. I now have circulatory airflow in my fridge.
Placing my hand at the back below where the fan is, I can feel cold air being blown down in the fridge. It’s not a powerful fan but it does not need to be. The only downside I have is that I cannot access the on/off switch without first taking it out of the fridge, but that’s a minor grievance since it is secured by velcro strips.
