Questions & Answers
It's a fan that does a good job of blowing air.
The difficult and upsetting thing about batteries sold by companies like porter cable, craftsman, dewalt, black and decker, Milwaukee, ryobi, makita, and others is that they are all made in the same way and are sold at different prices. Also, in most cases, the company changes the way the battery connections are shaped by a few indents/bumps here and there that differ if it'll fit. If you want to go that far, there are videos online of people modifying their batteries to fit in other brands, but I'm guessing porter cable batteries won't fit as well as craftsman batteries.
No, the CMCE001B (B stands for "bare tool") does not come with a battery or charger.
Handling the fan is made easier by a hand slot on the top backside.

It appears to have been constructed with care. My pet peeve is that it does not produce enough air movement when used as a fan. I had high hopes for this movie. It didn't cause any problems when I dropped it the first time. I wish I had done some comparison research on Milwaukee to see who did better. Last but not least, if you already own Craftsman batteries, it would be a good investment. If you don't, you might as well skip it. Request a trial run at Lowes first.
There is no way to run this thing without purchasing a power cord or a battery, so it must be purchased separately.
I've had this fan for about 16 hours and am putting it to the test in terms of runtime; I just charged an almost new 2. I inserted a 0ah v20 battery into the fan and have been running it on a timer for the past eight hours. On low speed (speed 1) for 5 hours straight. br>The estimated runtime quoted on the box is 8 hours using a 4ah battery on high speed. br>It says 1 battery bar left, so I'm assuming it'll die at around 10 hours. I'll conduct tests with the 2ah and 4ah batteries and report back on my findings. In terms of all the plastic features, it doesn't appear to be very durable, but it has run for over 8 hours without showing any signs of failure, so I give it credit. br>Things are going well so farbr>br>Update: So far, there have been two testsbr>2. On low speed with a 0ah battery, the result is 9. a runtime of 5 hoursbr>br>br>br>br>br> On low speed with a 0ah battery, the number is 31. 4 hours of running time.
You won't feel anything unless you're within a foot of it and directly in front of it. It only blows a little bit of air. It's a complete failure. It is unquestionably unworthy of purchase.
It's what I use to sit on my front porch. I've used it to do attic work and work inside boats, and I take it with me wherever I need air. I've also used it to hang lights for a friend I was working for in a garage. Love it.
Ok, the fan works and lasts a long time, even on a low-power battery. Here's the issue: even on the highest setting, it doesn't blow as hard as a plug-in only fan of similar size. br>That is to say, for the money they charge, this thing should blow much harder. If it consumes the battery, so be it; I'll purchase a larger battery. If you want to save battery life, don't weaken it.
A little on the pricey side. But I'm content. br>It comes in handy when I'm working or camping. br>I also keep this in my camper shell to keep it cool while fishing or watching movies at the drive-in. It takes a long time for batteries to be depleted. br> But there's one thing I'd like to point out. The larger the battery, of course, the better.
Although the fan was rated at 650 CFM, it appeared to move less air than a 550 CFM fan. I chose the cheapest 20V jobsite fan, and now I understand why it costs so little compared to Dewalt, Makita, and other major brands.
