yay, glad to see these again. the fans are actually not terrible and this is a really good price for usb sticks. perfect for powering arduino projects.
These are great stocking stuffers. I bought just one set before because I wasn’t sure but they are really pretty nice for the price. My son loved the fan feature. LOL Ordering 3 more sets
These are good, fans are good, and they come with case and cable. I took two of mine apart for the 18650’s and they are well-made with proper insulation. And the cases just snap together so I can rebuild them if needed.

Unlike the fans at Woot, these actually worked. They produce a nice breeze and the sound is somewhat soothing. I’ll probably buy more if they appear again.
I bought 2 pair of these last time. They seem to work pretty well and I love all the little gimmicks. I am pairing them with the Cheerson CX-10 mini quadcopters as cheap gifts for the fam.
All jokes aside these are worth at least 4 times this price i bought four last time and make nice stocking stuffers break it down you get the power pac, fan assembly ,charging cord, nice zippered case , choice of awesome colors , a flashlight and free delivery great deal !!! Just talked myself into a cpl more haha…
I got these the last time and took them on vacation, on a Philipino fishing boat for 3 days. No power, no outlets, just what I had. These things saved the day thanks to the flashlight and kept my other friends phones charged for photos.
I gotta say, generally I am a Meh hater and dislike most of the products on offer here but this is just a fantastic, multi-use device.
The flashlight works, the fan works and is fun, the power bank is cool to have, they provide all needed cables, and even the carrying case is nicely made.
@elpepe Here’s reality China is in fact "dumping " product on the market this item is the perfect example hard to believe meh is selling for 3 bucks can only imagine what they payed and making a profit shipped my guess these came out of China at about 75 cents tops maybe cheaper @ Alibaba either or Nice job Meh at finding the deals whoever found this one Bravo hats off to yah !!!
@mellowirishgent … and I had convinced myself this deal simply harkened back to when Meh reguarly benevolently offered up desirable goodies really inexpensively. In the subsidized-by-the-startup promo budget days.
OK. Bought a set not long ago. Granny found them “cool”. She wants a few for the “fan” club. (Granny wisdom) Sometimes a person needs a little “air,” and a little light when darkness is not your friend. It’s a 3fer: charger, fan, and tiny mini light. Makes great little gifts. I bought a set from morningsave recently for $10 Darnit! Granny will be happy. A fan for all reasons . She can recharge the “fan” and save money on batteries that her small personal fan just burns through.
@mellowirishgent Thank you very much for your kind words. Granny likes small introductions to technology. Got her a BEM speaker (meh purchase) she just loves to use with her portable CD Player and walkman (yes they still work). She can “fan” to her heart’s content and keep her speaker charged if she likes. Can’t wait to show her how to charge the speaker with this.
Bought 3 last go round for a total of 6. 5 worked fine out of the box. 1 came dead and will not charge. VIOLife discontinued these and will not support. Been about a month of back and forth. Meh is backing the product at least. But I would test every single one right away.
@malovett I also got one bad out of 6. The weld had failed on one end of the battery. $3 isn’t a bad price for an 18650, so I just cut the other connection and put it in my 18650 stash.
Most of you will get this by Christmas, but we can’t promise it…
You don’t know our local USPS situation - we are lucky to see the same carrier two days in a row.
Anything you could do to hand these off speedily to the initial Fedex leg would be much appreciated. By us and our usually appreciative kiddies since they’d likely find these contraptions vastly more entertaining than the typical candy, Sharpies, post-it pads, and fruit Santa typically loads in their stockings.
@Mehrocco_Mole My kids are getting some along with led speaker light bulbs, Bluetooth speakers, and some other stuff i don’t even remember. It’s a step up from coal, amiright?
@chienfou So, here’s my guess. They did have the teal on their first sale and they sold out. Meh, being the meh company that they are, didn’t bother to delete the pic on this sale.
That’s life, that’s what people say.
@RedOak Well, I’ll officially own a trio of pairs of these in a week or two, when they arrive. If hoarding is looking at stuff you have but don’t use, yet refuse to get rid of because you might one day actually need it, I suppose I’m pre-hoarding Meh stuff because I don’t need it now, but believe I eventually will!
@DaveInSoCal I agree… I bought a bunch of these for the kid to give to her girlies, and for the teachers at school. I tested out one, and it is a nice little fan… Can’t speak to how long the battery lasts, though.
@tahati you have about an hour window to cancel an order from your account. After that, you need to contact meh.com/support and see if they can cancel it in time for you.
Please note that they work M-F, 8-5 ish, and it’s a busy time of year.
Bought some of these back on Nov 8th, they actually have worked great to keep the Kindle Fire charged while on several trips. Have one for the smartphone, also.

Bam!
second, someone just asked for these
Dunno why, but I’m finding this funny.
Blow me.
Should’ve given these away with the Fukos
@oregon_ian get the next fuko…they’ll be there…
@eeterrific but since these would likely be the only thing of any value in that $5 fuko, today’s $6 2fer would actually be a better buy per set.
Power banks for meh fans
Again? Just start giving them
Away. Looking for Christmas gifts not flying chargers. Lol
These are the new speaker docks aren’t they?
Woohoo they’re back! Now it’s time to pick which ones I want to add to the ones I already own.
@JT954 ♪ When you wish upon a star…
@Barney I bought some of them in purple.
@JT954 Aww…
@Barney Aww, what? I was expecting you to say something more.
@sligett It was late and I was tired.
Come for the powerbank. Stay for the little fan.
Just what I needed in the middle of winter… NOT!
@ELUNO Still pretty warm inside where I am…
Do these fly like quadcopters?
Meh
yay, glad to see these again. the fans are actually not terrible and this is a really good price for usb sticks. perfect for powering arduino projects.
I guess Meh does not know what to do with these. Just like me.
These are great stocking stuffers. I bought just one set before because I wasn’t sure but they are really pretty nice for the price. My son loved the fan feature. LOL Ordering 3 more sets
@mommacomet Me too!
I bought some last time. The purple wasn’t all that purple.
(Otherwise, they work as advertised.)
@narfcake I love purple.
@Barney Oh, there it is.
It’s méh-jà vu all over again.
These are good, fans are good, and they come with case and cable. I took two of mine apart for the 18650’s and they are well-made with proper insulation. And the cases just snap together so I can rebuild them if needed.
@awk presumably generic 18650’s, not Panasonics or Samsungs, no?
@RedOak They are made by SZNS, a Chinese brand found in budget power banks and battery packs.
@awk in other words, not likely to yield the advertised 2600 mAh even before charge/transform efficiency matters. Not crying for the price.
@RedOak I tested one of the batteries at 0.5A and it delivered just over 2600mAh, so probably 1800-2400mAh out the USB port. Not bad.
VMP bait.
But not a great “stocking stuffer” bet:
Meh.com bug on iOS 9.x (using an old iPad 2) - could not copy text from the specs section whilst in the midst of composing a post.
Unfortunately the bait worked this time… taking the bet. gigantic-itchy-tortoise
What?? No one has said…“I’m not a FAN” yet???
On the other hand, I’m not a ham sandwich, either.
@eeterrific I’m not a powerbank. Is that ok?
Bought three sets this time around:
Red White and Blue
Green and Orange
Purple and Liliac

I, OTOH, am a ham sandwich. And I have four of these things coming my way. I only hope that I can meet four special people who will treasure them.
@gertiestn Me , myself , I, now look in the mirror thats 4 lol

All jokes aside these are worth at least 4 times this price i bought four last time and make nice stocking stuffers break it down you get the power pac, fan assembly ,charging cord, nice zippered case , choice of awesome colors , a flashlight and free delivery great deal !!! Just talked myself into a cpl more haha…
@mellowirishgent Make that 4 for us givers it’s such a nice lil gift isn’t it?
@mellowirishgent great stocking stuffers, if you ordered them 3 weeks ago…
I got these the last time and took them on vacation, on a Philipino fishing boat for 3 days. No power, no outlets, just what I had. These things saved the day thanks to the flashlight and kept my other friends phones charged for photos.
These look good for hot days at the zoo/park. In for 3.
I gotta say, generally I am a Meh hater and dislike most of the products on offer here but this is just a fantastic, multi-use device.
The flashlight works, the fan works and is fun, the power bank is cool to have, they provide all needed cables, and even the carrying case is nicely made.
All for $3.

Bought one. Had it been by Christmas would have been 3
Bought these last time. Put them into my Kids Fuku bags. I don’t need anymore so NEXT item please.
BTW: These don’t suck. They blow a bit but don’t suck.
@Mehrocco_Mole My kids are getting some along with led speaker light bulbs, Bluetooth speakers, and some other stuff i don’t even remember. It’s a step up from coal, amiright?
Meh i challenge you to a 3-Fer Friday,and if you use my idea a few free VMP months please ty
@mellowirishgent
How about Triple-price Thursday?
@PlacidPenguin lol good one , screw you Sunday etc
These drones look really crappy. I mean I guess that’s what you get when you pay $6 for two. The controller looks hard to use with no buttons.
2600mAh could charge your BlackBerry pearl 8100 from 2006 if you still own it.
/buy --color “LILAC & PURPLE”
Because you can never have too much purple in your life - right @barney?
@ManBehindPlan Sorry, this deal contains 5 unique items and I’m not sure which one you want. Try ordering from the checkout page.
@ManBehindPlan RIGHT! Stupid ol’ mediocrebot, doesn’t know what it is doing. We want purple!
/buy --colors “LILAC & PURPLE”

@D3rick132 pilot error. It is generally considered bad form to fly into things.

I got these last time. They’re actually very handy for cooling off on the train after the walk to the station on a warm afternoon.
Teal all gone? Not even an option on my phone…
I am getting back into RC cars, does anybody think 5v @ 2600 mah might be enough to run a car for 15 minutes?
These would be pretty cheap batteries.
Ordered 2 … always wanted a fan club!
Perfect-- margarita stirrers.

*the first web result on Google is rather, um, terrible. Not posting that.
Son of a… I just bought one. no no no wait. I just bought 3. When I do bad things, I almost drown in it. Sigh…
@daworld88 Good thing the limit wasn’t ten, huh?
@sammydog01 I would have thought it was 2 since its 2 for Tuesday. But no it was 3. Someone can’t count! But ya. Good thing it wasn’t 10…
Does anyone know what the output volts and amps are on these? If they can output 5V 2.1A then I’m totally buying one
@funmerlin they’d have to be 5volts DC but I suspect it would be wishful to expect more than 1 amp output.
Perhaps you could jury-rig a parallel cord to use 2 batteries at a time…
I will now be popular with all the women hot flashing at work!!!
@cglick No joke.
Wish I could order 4 sets. I want one and have 6 coworkers I was hoping to gift to. Life is so cruel.
I bought the max anyway. We should be allowed 3 of each style.
/giphy fresh-fatty-koala
edit ^ oh god…
@darkdragon
Second Meh.com account. Problem solved. Merry Christmas.
@RedOak That would just be silly. Then I’d have to pay $5 shipping just for two more $3 fans.
Was there ever a teal option or was that a posting error? ** Really** wanted the teal ones
@chienfou So, here’s my guess. They did have the teal on their first sale and they sold out. Meh, being the meh company that they are, didn’t bother to delete the pic on this sale.
That’s life, that’s what people say.
@Barney kind of what I figured as well, but one can always hope.
(And thanks for the Sinatra lyric…)
I have to stop this. Is there a word for hoarding stuff you don’t even own?
@jestersheister insanity. Stop the insanity!
@jestersheister
So you’re imagining buying all this Meh crap and hoarding it in your mind, but not actually buying it? Sounds pretty healthy to me.
@RedOak Well, I’ll officially own a trio of pairs of these in a week or two, when they arrive. If hoarding is looking at stuff you have but don’t use, yet refuse to get rid of because you might one day actually need it, I suppose I’m pre-hoarding Meh stuff because I don’t need it now, but believe I eventually will!
@jestersheister … been there… do that!
I bought a bunch of these last time around. They’re GREAT! I’m using one right now.
@DaveInSoCal I agree… I bought a bunch of these for the kid to give to her girlies, and for the teachers at school. I tested out one, and it is a nice little fan… Can’t speak to how long the battery lasts, though.

@fedwkr This is good to know. Thank you.
Why…why did they photoshop nail polish onto the hand model?
I love these
Gave out 3 as Christmas gifts. All were a hit. They especially liked the included stands.
Kids got 'em as stocking stuffers. LOVE THEM.
Also, they are educational! Fans HURT if you try to chop your face with them.
@rprussell should we also educate by giving our kids really dull knives? They’d likely hurt too.
Staples is currently selling these same 2fer kits for $10, shipped free to store. A couple additional similarly ugly colors as well.
But if you had VMP, this Meh $6 deal was still the one to grab. Kids liked them - these seem to be decent gadgets.
@RedOak Thanks for the info. Don’t know if Meh will bring them back soon. I bought some for Granny and she loves them. Now her friends want them.
Again, please.
@joelmw Hmm, I’ll have to look around. I might have some more of these still boxed.
@joelmw Ha! I just found 4 of these yesterday when I cleaned out a closet. You are welcome to them.
@Trillian @cinoclav I’d be happy to take them off your hands. I’m sure we can work something out if you really don’t want them anymore. Thanks!
