In the Box

I bought my Claymore rechargeable portable fan from Amazon in warm gray. Here’s what arrived:

Inside, you get:

• The Claymore fan (arrives 50% charged)
• Tripod legs
• A USB-C charging cable

Charging

To recharge, open the USB-C port at the back and plug in the included cable. A small light beside the port glows while it charges.

• Charge time 6.5 hrs
• Battery 7,800 mAhlithium-ion
• Port input 5V / 2A

It’s the slowest-charging fan I own, but it still runs while plugged in, so you can use it anytime.

Fan Modes & Speeds

I measured all four speeds with an anemometer:

• Ultra-low 2.6 m/s (8.5 ft/s)
• Low 3.1 m/s (10.2 ft/s)
• Medium 3.8 m/s (12.5 ft/s)
• High 4.2 m/s (13.8 ft/s)

Note Claymore markets a 5.8 m/s max, but mine topped out at 4.2 m/s.

Airflow Distance

Using the same anemometer, here’s how far the airflow reached on each speed:

• Ultra-low 7.3 ft
• Low 9.3 ft
• Medium 11.8 ft
• High 13 ft

On high, it cools my whole 6-person tent. On low or medium it’s better suited to a smaller 2-person tent.

Noise Level

I measured each speed with a sound meter:

• Off 41.5 dBA
• Ultra-low 46.3 dBA
• Low 51.7 dBA
• Medium 57 dBA
• High 60 dBA

Run Times

Here’s how long a full charge lasted on each mode:

• Ultra-low 31.5 hrs
• Low 15.75 hrs
• Medium 8.25 hrs
• High 6.25 hrs

Sleep Timer

The fan has a sleep timer with four settings. I timed each one, and they all shut off within about a second:

• 1 hour 0:59:48
• 2 hours 1:59:38
• 3 hours 2:59:20
• 4 hours 3:59:07

Battery Level Indicator

The sleep-timer lights double as a battery gauge when you first switch the fan on. To check the level again, turn it off and back on.

They’re bright at night, so cover them if you need to.

Head Rotation

The head only tilts about 45° – I’d have liked more range here.

Adjustable Legs

The three metal legs are only somewhat adjustable. The head is top-heavy, so spread them as wide as possible or it’ll topple over.

Don’t want the legs? Unlock and pull them off – an icon at the back shows whether they’re locked or unlocked.

Tripod Thread

There’s a standard 1/4-inch thread underneath, so you can mount the fan on a tripod to lift it well off the ground.

Handle & Hook

A built-in handle at the back makes it easy to carry. Loop a carabiner through it and you can hang the fan from the top of your tent.

Waterproofing

I couldn’t find an IP rating anywhere, so I ran my own rain test.

Note Most fans have no IP rating and aren’t built for bad weather. A rare few do – like the Geek Aire Rechargeable Fan.

After 30 minutes of moderate rain, it held up fine.

Opening the port afterwards, there was a little water inside as I expected. The port isn’t sealed tightly, but a light soaking is no problem.

Materials

• Fan head & blades Plastic
• Handle & legs Metal

It still looks and feels sleek and high-quality.

Weight & Size

• Weight 20.56 oz
• Fan body, no legs 7.25 x 7.75 x 5.5 in
• Tripod legs 9 in

It’s not the lightest fan, but leaving the legs off keeps it compact and easy to pack.

Warranty

• Warranty 1 year

A longer warranty would be nice.

Removable Safety Cage

The removable safety cage makes cleaning the blades easy.

Turn it anti-clockwise to release it. To refit, line up the grooves on the cage and fan (there’s a tiny arrow at the bottom of the face) and turn clockwise until it clicks.

Pros, Cons, Recommendations

Now, what are the pros and cons, and would I recommend the Claymore V600+ fan?

Easy to clean

The removable safety cage makes cleaning the blades effortless – a feature plenty of camping fans skip.

Plenty of fan speeds

Four speeds from 2.6 to 4.2 m/s cover everything from gentle sleep airflow to cooling a full tent.

Surprisingly quiet

It’s quiet on every mode – not silent, but noticeably quieter than the average air circulator.

High quality

Strong battery life plus high-grade plastic and metal make it feel a clear cut above other camping fans.

Long charging time

At 6.5 hrs, it’s the slowest-charging fan I own.

Only 45-degree rotation

Head rotation tops out at 45°, though you can pull the legs off and sit the head on the ground for low-down cooling.

No lighting or reversible port

There’s no light, and unlike newer Claymore models, mine has no reversible charging port.
