Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

must resist.

I put up a review of the Handskit PID soldering iron:

Here’s a fantastic deal!
I just received mine and it’s probably comparable to Geek Aire’s 12” model. Phenomenal output for its size and being rechargeable.
Taotronics 12” rechargeable fan ($129 on Taotronics site) for $45 total after 40% off clickable coupon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0987Q2Y1K/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_ZGBNGTATEPP0AMGYFAFF

I paid over $100 for my Geek Aire. Now I have a backup :smiley:
Worth every penny when the power goes out.

So it has a battery pack that’s built in? So I assume it’s not replaceable?

Are the batteries removable/replaceable?

Can it run on AC power as well?

That's a nice looking fan, and TaoTronics makes some good stuff.

If I needed a floor fan, I'd be all over that.

...

Looks like it's an unbranded TaoTronics, but if it's really made by them, that's a good sign.

Ordered one. Maybe I can add powerbank capabilities to it.

Yeah, but judging by their marketing material it looks like six cells @ 2975 mah each. When it does get to where they need replacing, it doesn’t look like it would be too hard to pop open and find out what size cells are needed and how they’re connected to the unit.

I can confirm that it is, since I ordered mine direct from TaoTronics with a coupon code for $65, right before this listing appeared on Amazon. At the time it was listed for $65 with a 50% off coupon, so I was able to snag another one for $35 total. It just shipped today, and the label print location and package weight is the same as the one I have now. If you look at the image on Amazon full size, you can see that they erased their logo from the front of the unit. Looks like they’re using fake brand names to sneak back on.

Same. My unit was $65 with coupon direct from TaoTronics. This popped up as mine was on it’s way. At the time, the price and coupon came out $35. So, it was a no-brainer to snag another one before they upped the price/reduced the coupon or sold out. I’m going to use mine for tailgating, and working on the truck in the driveway and working on stuff around the house without needing to drag out a cord for it. I’ll probably give the other one to my dad or my brother.

I used my Geek Aire in the attic last week, pulling Ethernet cables.

just ordered the fan. thanks bigtrav261

No problemo.

Can it run while being charged?

Does it have a mini USB port or USB C?

Interesting...

TaoTronics is barely on Amazon anymore.

They only have two products called "TaoTronics", and they used to have a whole bunch, so maybe they got banned for breaking Amazon rules like Mpow did.

Yes.

It does not have either. It charges via the included 30V 24W AC adapter.

Thanks. Delivery dates seem to be 2-3 weeks out. Do they ship from China?

No, they ship directly from TaoTronics’ US office in Anaheim, CA. I think it’s just what Amazon generally estimates based on where you’re at, and that it’s being shipped via UPS Ground. It takes 3-4 business days for them to ship it, and 3-5 business days for it to be delivered.

Ex. - I ordered Friday. Label was printed Monday. Shipped today. Probably arrive at my house here in NC on Wednesday or Thursday.

Speaking of which, those earmuffs you posted, the 8buk ones, were under some Petrocelli brand or something, but they’re actually MPOWs. Same red’n’black box, clearly labeled “MPOW”.

Kewl…
