Recommendations for portable fan in car!

7 replies

Wednesdayafternoon · 18/06/2022 22:40

I'm falling down a black hole on Amazon looking for a fan I can use in the back of my car. Ideally I want 2 for both children on either side in the back OR one fan which would cover the whole back.
The AC is crap in my car and I don't want them getting too hot in the summer!
I have a 2011 Honda.

Any advice or experience?

It might be better getting your aircon recharged in your car. Most garages will do this.

I literally know nothing about cars.
What does this mean and what does it entail??

Your car aircon will not work forever and so the gas needs to be topped up every few years. I’m sure a 2011 Honda is able to be re gassed quite easily

Ring your garage and ask. It varies depending on the gas used in your car system and likely on where you are in the country. A quick google and Kwik fit suggest somewhere around £60 or £130 depending on age if car and has used.

you may also need the pollen filter changing. Again ring the garage to see why they quote/suggest.

Age OF car and GAS used. Sorry.
