TaoTronics 12" Rechargeable Floor Fan

Code doesn’t work anymore — I think we overwhelmed their supply :money_mouth_face:

I got a UPS tracking number this morning, due to be delivered tomorrow (says it’s starting in Texas, so we’ll see about that). Paypal here. Wonder if they were blowing out limited clearance stock or if the coupon was an accidental pricing fluke?

6/19/22 Paypal $22.99.

Fedex tracking: Estimated delivery date Wednesday, 6/22/2022 by end of day

It sucks that some of you guys got stiffed.

This is their response to my Canceled order:

“Hi there,

I am sorry to inform that we set up a wrong price for the mentioned product, and have to cancel your order and issued the full refund to you. ”

I’m still left wondering why announce the f’n offer with price on a worldwide forum, take some orders, cancel others, then come up with such a horseshiite excuse.

Guess I’ll be steering people away from Taotronics…

Can you post a photo of it? Are the batteries removable at all? Thanks

Highly doubt OP has anything to do with the company based on post history. I’m speculating OP probably got the code through an email, FB, deal website, etc.

Code probably wasn’t meant for the mass public.

I got an email that says that my rechargeable fans are being shipped.

I even got a couple of UPS tracking numbers.

I agree that it sucks that not everyone is getting this deal.

I ordered two. One shipped one canceled. No refund yet.

I had purchased 2 Fans with a shipping total of $3.99 —- Just the shipping cost on their end combined with that cheap price for the fans they lost money for sure

Yeah, considering this fan sells for $65 on Walmart, I'm guessing that it was a pricing mistake and that TaoTronics will be losing money on every deal they allow.

And $65 is a reasonable price for such a nice fan.

I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Losing profit, for sure, but the actual cost of these units could very well be less than this too-low selling price even with a business rate shipping cost added on.

Sorry this didn’t work for everyone. I had that happen to me a couple times over the years. On the flip side, if these suck or catch on fire then maybe us lucky order people will be the losers. lol

Mine is coming from Charleston Tennessee and should be here tomorrow. If I can safely get the cover off where the batteries are, I’ll post a picture. Sorry for all the folks whose orders got cancelled, that sucks.

Ah, was misremembering his handle as “tao-mmap”, so thought he was “related”. My bad. :blush:

Got mine day before yesterday; fully charged it and ran it “dry”; fully charged and in the process of running it dry again; so far it ’s ok.

It’s a big heavy fan and will be nice during power outages.

$20 and change.! !

Thank you for the photos. For my curiosity do you know what the boxed or unboxed weight actually is? (Kg or lb)

I placed 2 orders. The first one was on 6/16 and the second order was on 6/19. The first order has shipping confirmation and UPS tracking numbers. The second order got refunded.

I used a discount code for TaoTronics that I found on a deals website. I believe the original deal of $49 + tax & shipping is a decent deal; I don’t think TaoTronics will cancel any orders for that price.

On 6/16, I received an email from TaoTronics for their Clearance Event. The floor rechargeable fan was on sale for $99.99, down from the regular price of $129.99. Just for the heck of it, I added a fan to my cart and applied the original discount code and it worked. The final price was $19 + tax & shipping. That is when I immediately posted that deal on this forum.

I suspect that for any of us who placed the order on 6/16 and 6/17, TaoTronic bit the bullet and stepped up to the plate and honored the orders. Any orders placed after that got cancel and refunded.

I guess I got lucky for a change. I ordered one the day the deal was posted. Coming from Charleston TN. It shows as being in town, maybe delivered tomorrow…

Received mine today, initial impressions are positive. It seems solidly built and moves quite a lot of air. It is also quiet in operation and has a good weight, not so heavy as to be unwieldy, not so light that if feels cheap or flimsy. The blades are set deeply and are well protected from fingers and dog noses. The controls aren’t the best feeling but seem functional. I don’t see a way to open the battery compartment without disassembling the fan.

Time will tell for sure, but this seems to have been quite the bargain at $25 delivered!

UPS shows the package as 15.7lbs.

Just received it today, well packed and surprisingly in an Amazon box. It is currently charging, but I can confirm that it does operate using the cord while charging which is nice. Looks pretty well made. This will come in real handy when working in the garage or if we get some Hurricane related power outages.
