Yep. Greenbrier International is Dollar Tree stuff. Everything from Dollar Tree says Greenbrier International on it. Some of it isn't absolutely terrible (Will perform it's basic function) but there are definitely limits to what can be had for a dollar. Dollar Tree is generally a whole store full of junk. Maybe a few really good deals.
The price this thing must’ve been worth must’ve been more of an entertainment fee than a cost for the actual product, because this has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while 😂😂
There's not many products that are directly powered off USB, or those that are are intended for use with a desktop computer in an office. The vast majority of them have a battery and charge over USB, becoming fully portable once charged; the convenience of USB being that it's smaller than an AC cord, universal throughout the world, and more practical in a vehicle or for use with a power bank. High capacity rechargeable batteries actually are ever so slightly bigger than standard alkaline sized batteries; I've noticed that they don't fit into several compartments properly. Might be why some manuals say not to use them. Ridiculous that the compartments can't be made a millimeter bigger to accomodate them, but I guess the demand isn't there since no one uses rechargeable batteries. This came from the Dollar Tree, or the Bean Tree for $1.25; I got it precisely because it resembled the Super Mute fan but I thought it might be slightly better since it was sold in a physical store and has proper English. I thought it might be interesting to compare it to the Super Mute ones, but alas looks like that won't be happening. Glad it made a comical video!
Absolutely horrendous quality fan! Also, I was kind of upset that it doesn't have all of the funny stuff on the tag like the other two USB fans. That would've been hilarious.
Oh yes, the cheapo dollar tree fans, pretty sure they were actually recalled because they were found to be fire hazards, got extremely hot and started melting themselves. I think they were using a 1.5 V motor and massively overloading it.
@@JordanU Don’t know if it would even be worth your time unless just for a autopsy to see how crap it really is internally. These motors are usually anonymous maybe except for some random little serial number.(these are really the most common type of DC motor, found and things from model trains to toys and then cheap crap like this, some of the higher end ones are actually decent, but the ones that you find in dollar tree stuff is usually not that great.) I suppose a good indication of its nominal voltage would be the amount of windings it has, usually these really cheap ones only have half the amount of rotor laminations and windings that the better higher voltage ones have.
11:26 I couldn't help but laugh when the cheap super mute "fan" fell off the table and kept making noise lol Edit: And at 12:33 It fell off the table again and then it started spinning lol
here we go again like the last one you had let's hope this one work this time bro lol and the blade broke lol i enjoyed the video i am super late on committing on this video
This thing is a joke and a half it literally fell apart the lol i have a 1999 Honeywell pedestal the fan i got at the goodwill it moves tons of air and has good quality plastic for being made in the china!
That's cheap and garbage because thoose fans can be fire hazard which the batteries can burn people or the fan can catch fire or the batteries can explode on people including kids so thoose fans can be odd
I got one of these at Dollar Tree once and it broke within a year, alot better than I was expecting honestly..

"Always remove the battery if consumed" probably means when it's dead. If its a Duraleak, it will probably leak before its even dead.
I have a metal fan that is similar to this one. It's corded and has a very long cord, 4 blades. It works rather well.
its a mainstays if theres no logo on the front
@@Extremely_crazy_toaster_light if it has no logo on it then, it also possible it could be generic

HOLY COW!

It was well worth the comedy.
Unbelievable, what an absolutely deplorable fan! The part after you discovered the hidden oscillating feature was the best, though.
This is definitely one of the most abysmal I've encountered thus far.

Cheese, not good. I'll have to take it apart and see if I can get any information off the motor about the voltage.

very easy to take apart, throw it at the wall or run it off 200V DC. (congratulations, you have now maid a shrapnel bomb ) brittle junk!!!!
I have one of these. It has a delayed start. After turning it on it takes like 5 minutes to start running. New batteries didn't work either.
i would love to see one of these overvolted!, great fireworks display!!!!!
OK
darn its stuck on circular oscillation
I got one from the good will not long ago. It lasted a total of 2 mineutes before the blades stripped
Not good.
What did it cost? Hopefully no more than $1!
@@Xyspade I had one as well but lost it and yes it was $1
I would like if you put a recharging pack on that fan but it's still a junky fan really horrible to get the batteries out
Hard to open battery compartment, thank you,

Edit: And at 12:33 It fell off the table again and then it started spinning lol
Thanks for letting me know.
Ahh that is a fan that was okay before and after taking it out from my bag is like a trash
That doesn't make sense.
here we go again like the last one you had let's hope this one work this time bro lol and the blade broke lol i enjoyed the video i am super late on committing on this video
True these are all junk unfortunately that's just how it is now.
@@JordanU lol China for you i wish USA made would come back
That thing is possessed
Or it's just a cheap unreliable piece of junk.
That’s a fan from Dollar Tree.
It's an oscillating fan
Edit: it was a joke
You were supposed to use Duracell batteries {the best batteries for the best fan}
I do not have any, and never will.
@@JordanU that's besides the point
At 9:56 LMAO
OK
Yeah it's French smash that fan lol
OVERVOLT IT!
Blades wreck easily!
They shouldn't.
I have the yellow one
Thanks for letting me know.
This thing is a joke and a half it literally fell apart the lol i have a 1999 Honeywell pedestal the fan i got at the goodwill it moves tons of air and has good quality plastic for being made in the china!
Most things were still decent in the 90s, even if made in the China.
friend even the oscillating homemade fan I made is much better than that lol check out the videos I mentioned to you
Lol blade broke
Junky fan
What about it?
That's cheap and garbage because thoose fans can be fire hazard which the batteries can burn people or the fan can catch fire or the batteries can explode on people including kids so thoose fans can be odd
@@CyberX48583 i would love to see one of these things overvolted!
