I think we're all familar with the widely popular Rant thread. Well, I thought it might be a neat idea to have a Rave thread too. I think it would be helpful for members to post about excellent products and/or services that have made their lives so much easier, happier, or more enjoyable. Sometimes, we come across services, products, and people who far surpass our expectations. Let's share those, so maybe we can all enjoy.....
I have a few Raves, but I'll start with my Milwaukee fans. I have 3 of them b/c I love them so much. Any woman who has ever experienced hot flashes (or just runs hot) knows you can't have too many fans. These things are super powerful with 3 levels to choose from. You can plug them in OR use the lithium batteries for many hours of cordless breezes where ever you may be. I take one camping with me so that if it's a hot day, I can sit in my chair with my book and enjoy a breeze regardless if there is a natural breeze or not. I also have it on at night while I sleep which is convenient b/c we don't have power where we camp and I don't want to use a generator all night just for a fan. I always have charged backup batteries available so it if loses charge, I can just pop in a different battery and re-charge the dead one. They re-charge in just a couple of hours and I have plenty of back up batteries b/c hubs has lots of Milwaukee tools that use the same batteries. I paid $80 each for the fans. I ordered them thru our local automotive store, but I now see them on Amazon for that price as well. Still, I'd rather support our local businesses when possible.
The only complaint I have about them is that they will always run off battery power first, even if plugged in. So, if I have one plugged in, I make sure the battery is not pushed in tightly or I just leave the battery out all together. It's a very minor complaint. The batteries themselves have a energy indicator light button you can push to see how much charge is left in the battery, which is a nice feature.
I use them in the middle of the living room where I don't have plug ins, when camping, when outdoors even if just sitting on the porch when it's hot, etc. They would also work great for anyone who has frequent power outages. Hubs uses them in his shop sometimes and they are also nice to help dry paint when in an enclosed area. I use these fans every day and am so glad I found them! They were worth every penny I paid for them.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
