Surprise! The HandFan 20oz Filter Water Bottle [model HF7] features a 3-speed built-in fan (that works really well!) and an optional charcoal water filtration system. It's sleek, affordable, and fun too, as tech expert Dave Taylor finds out in this detailed demo and review video. It has some limitations too, however, as he explains in detail.

This water bottle has secret superpowers
0:02
Let's check it out. ♪♪♪ Dave Taylor here, and, oh, hang on
0:12
I need a drop of water. All right, so put the straw out, and... Hmm
0:19
Have some nice, cool water out of my hand fan 20-ounce water filter bottle
0:26
But it's also really hot, so while I'm at it, let me go ahead and open this up
0:31
and, yes, it has a built-in fan. So I can just leave this right like this
0:40
and this will run for up to 15 hours, depending on what speed I set
0:44
Now, there are three different speeds, and you see in this close-up how you adjust it
0:49
So that's the highest speed, and that's a pretty decent amount of air flow, actually
0:54
If you're sitting at the beach or you're just, like, sweltering because it's so darn hot
0:59
this is a really nice way to get that air to circulate. Or you can turn it off, fold it back down
1:05
and now it's basically a water bottle, but it has other superpowers
1:09
Before I get there, though, it charges via USB-C, and it includes a USB-A to USB-C charging cable
1:18
so you plug it into your computer, into your wall charger for your phone or tablet or whatever
1:24
and it'll charge in a couple hours. And like I said, it'll run for up to 15 hours
1:29
Now, I'm gonna go ahead and put the lid back on because, like so many of these
1:34
it has a little hidden straw that you fold out to drink
1:38
and then you put it back in. If you want, you can pop this and spin it around
1:42
and now it's fully sealed and you have no worries. It is leak-proof, as you would hope
1:49
for any sort of water bottle, but there's one more cool thing this has
1:53
So go ahead and pull this off, and then let's unscrew the entire top assembly
1:59
and you can see here that I have just a regular straw plugged in
2:04
but it also includes this, and this, dripping all over everything, is actually a filtration system
2:14
So if you pop it open, there's actually a charcoal filter inside it
2:22
and so if you're traveling in situations where you're not sure about the water quality
2:28
you can simply take off this straw and then put on this instead
2:34
and now, when I drink the water, it's filtered. How cool is that
2:39
And it comes with three spare carbon filters. I think these are just made out of compressed charcoal
2:46
Comes with a carabiner, comes with a regular lid only if you wanna just use it as a water bottle
2:52
without any of the fans or other fancy stuff, and it comes with a little cleaner
2:56
because these are gonna get a little grody after a while, so that's all pretty important
3:02
Let's dry this off. So that's everything. So what's the experience like with it
3:07
Well, I will tell you, with this straw, it all works really well
3:11
but with the filtration system, you have to kinda work at it
3:21
to get any liquid through, and that suggests to me that if you really
3:26
are in a situation where you need to have a good water filter system
3:29
this might not be the solution for you, but where this really shines is it's a water bottle
3:35
with, yes, that built-in fan, and that is great fun. It seems very silly
3:41
It seems almost like a gag gift, but in fact, in practical use, it's pretty darn sweet
3:47
If you're at the beach or something, this can be the difference between having a nice, cool breeze on your face
3:53
and just having that sweat drip down and just no one looks pretty that way
3:58
So that's pretty much everything. I will tell you the bottle is 9.1 inches tall
4:04
by 3.1 inches wide, and its capacity is 20 ounces. Let me turn it this way so you can see the name
4:10
Comes with all this other stuff. I would recommend that you use it
4:14
with the consideration that it's just water and just the straw. If you use the water filtration system
4:21
then I would be very interested in hearing what your experiences are like with it
4:25
For me, I found that that was fairly difficult to actually get the liquid up
4:29
and through the filtration system so that I could actually get a drink of water
4:35
Might just be how I'm using it, but seems like that might be an issue
4:38
Oh, I should also point out it does come with this little handle, too, so they've really thought of everything
4:44
You know, this is a fully thought-out device here. So, what we need to talk about is the price
4:50
but before we get to the price, I'm gonna ask if you could subscribe to my channel
4:53
Click or a tap on that subscribe button, and then a subsequent click or a tap
4:57
on that little bell icon for notifications. We're connected. If you found this useful, candid, and valuable
5:04
a like is always appreciated, too. Great, this, let me just go ahead
5:09
and turn that fan on again. Ah, so this is the HandFan 20-ounce water filter bottle
5:18
It comes in blue or gray, and it's interesting. The prices are fairly different
5:23
This is the blue color, and it's $24.54 at Amazon.com, but if you really wanna do for that sort of black and gray
5:32
more perhaps sophisticated color scheme, then that's $39.99 minus 10%, so that's $35.99
5:41
So, black, $35.99, blue, $24.54. Little confusing, but either way, I am a huge fan, as it were
5:51
of a water bottle with a built-in fan. This is perfect for the summer. So, that's all I got
5:56
I'm gonna get back to drinking some of this water, so that means I'll have to catch you in my next video
