5 Stars Music
It works amazingly. When I first used it it made that loud buzzing sound but I realized if you don’t have your iPod volume turned completely up then it does that, once I figured that out it’s been working beautifully. I love driving 10x more! I’d say buy it if you don’t have iPod hook up or a cd player.

1 Star junk
This product arrived a day late and the package had been opened (through the Amazon shipping label) and resealed with clear tape. The product did not work and I did not return it as the return postage would have been 1/2 the refund.

5 Stars whats not to like???
This is a great little product. It lets me listen to the IPOD in the car, no problems at all love it would recommend it to anyone…. I have been reading a lot of bad reviews and I just don’t under stand why people are having trouble. Simple product, not a lot of moving parts, pretty much plug and play.

5 Stars Works great, no complaints
I had read some reviews of various cassette adaptors for IPODs and how the problems they have. So I was somewhat reluctant to purchase one. This works better than I expected. The music clarity is great, I have been using it every day for several weeks without any problems. I had tried an FM transmitter, they are worthless, as it is impossible to find clear frequencies that work. I highly recommend this if you have a cassette player in your car and want to use it to play your IPOD.

5 Stars Outstanding!
This is much better then the one that needs a radio frequency. I give the sound quality a 9/10. Great buy!

5 Stars Cool Running!
I ordered one of these to use with my overheating external disk drive (no AC here!) for my desktop, but ended up trying it out by taking it on the road with my notebook. It is QUIET! The hard drive on my notebook is louder than this fan on low, and so far I haven’t had to run it any higher to keep my normally hot-running notebook completely cool. It’s kind of spooky, really, it works so well.

The fan speed knob is prominent enough that you don’t need tiny hands to turn it, and turns smoothly enough that you’ll find yourself casually adjusting the fan speed without even thinking about it. The stand is nice and springy, and has no trouble at all supporting the fan when it -is- turned on high. There’s no blowing this fan over!

The other nice aspect of this fan is that it has a nice long cord and a wide enough range that it can be aimed to cover several devices at once — including the notebook! Pair this one with an inexpensive USB hub to make sure you’ve got plenty of ports on hand, and you’ve got yourself an all-weather kit for your notebook that can take any heat.

I can’t wait to get this home to use on my desktop and external hard drives!

4 Stars good quiet cooling device for PS3
During the warmer months my PS3′s fans would spin up and become loud after 20 mins of playing games like COD4 and CoD world at war.

I decided to try this fan after reading the reviews. My ps3 is not in an enclosed cabinet but is on a 3 level TV stand and sits on the middle shelf. The stand is open on all sides.

Putting fan behind PS3 at the exhaust port to help draw hot air out, did not work.

What did work was aiming the fan across the right side about 3 inches away, my ps3 is horizontal, and letting the fan blow into the intakes and across the exhaust on the back.

The fan is very quiet on medium speed and runs on the USB port so it powers on and off with PS3.

I played 45+ mins last night and the fan did not crank up like it has before.

Seems to work well.

only complaint is it took way too long to get here.

5 Stars Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan – Us USB Fan
In our building we are not allowed to have anything to plug into the walls. The building was built about the time of the Civil War and the ventilation isnt great. I was among a number of scofflaws who had an electric fan anyway because I could hardly breath in this building.

They cracked down in inforcement of electric fans, so when I saw this USB fan it looked to me like the answer to my problems. It only plugs into my computers’ USB port and has a good airflow – not as good as my electric fan but better than any battery powered fan I have every used.

Everybody is happy.

4 Stars Thermaltake USB Fan
Great little fans. I purchased 4 of them for a video recording kiosk box. I love that I can just plug them into the computer rather than have to figure out the wiring. They are quiet, but not silent at low speeds. Instead of using 2 fans in the kiosk (one cool air in, one hot air out) I had to only use one since the microphone did pick up some air noise. The air noise could just be related the box that the kiosk is installed into. The air speed control knob is solid and feels quite high quality and easy to control. I would highly recommend these fans. Hopefully they will last the run of the kiosk.

5 Stars A gift from the Gods! lol
WOW, this little thing is amazing! I just got it today, still have not got my fan pad (that goes under my laptop) and this little fan is already cooling my laptop. I have a GATEWAY FX gaming laptop and it gets HOT HOT HOT. This little fan brought my computers temp down way more then my old fan pad (before it broke). So with this little fan teamed up with my soon to come fan pad my computer will be nice and cool.

Thanks Amazon! FAST shipping!

Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand

Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand




The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand prevents your laptop from overheating. The unique patented wave design uses natural convection to enhance fan cooling. This stand has low power consumption via your laptop’s USB port with no bulky power adapters.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Not so good for MacBook Pro
The Belkin Cooling Stand looks great, but is ineffective. For my MacBook Pro (an older one, which runs very hot), it hardly drops the temperature at all. Also, the fan is very noisy. The “leg” in back of the stand, to hold it up, is flimsy and sometimes falls down. Not something you want to happen when your valuable computer is on the stand. Another thing missing is a switch – so to turn it off (because of its noise) you have to pull the USB plug.

4 Stars Cooling Stand
It works well. The only con is that the laptop often slips off the stand due to the angle. If you don’t tilt the stand up, it doesn’t air out properly, if you do, it slides off.

4 Stars Spiffy device!
This thing is pretty cool — definitely gets the laptop up off of whatever surface you’re using (table, desk, lap, etc.) and definitely provides a constant rush of air to whisk away heat generated by your computer’s processor. The cooling mechanism is audible but not intrusive, and you can most assuredly feel the breeze as warm air is pushed out to the sides of the device. The added “tilt” is also a nice feature, because as for me, it puts the laptop into a slightly-improved position in terms of typing.

Recommended without hesitation!

3 Stars new fan is quiet; with time it gets noisy
Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand

When you get it home from the store or out of the UPS box, it starts

right away, quiet as a mouse.

With time however, it gets nosier, like a coffee grinder. The fan

still turns, and it will cool your laptop, but wreck your nerves; at least

it did that to me.

1 Star Waste of Money
I didn’t buy it with my own money, though I think it’s still a waste when there are probably better fans out there. I got this as a birthday present, and it was my first fan for my laptop. I was glad, since I have a problem with my laptop overheating and then shutting down on me. This fan worked at first, and still does, but now, it makes a loud rattling noise when in use. The sound is nerve grating and my friends give me weird looks when it starts as if my laptop is about to explode, though it’s the fan. I’ve only had this for 2 months, and this problem has been ongoing after the first 3-4 weeks. I won’t be buying any more Belkin products any time soon.
