“While we love and have gotten alot of use from the slumberpod, the fan is less than desirable. I thought it would give us peace of mind with a little more airflow under the pod which it does accomplish but I dont think is 100% needed. Info on the fan is limited and I was surprised to find it needed to be plugged in vs being able to be recharged. Also the pocket for the fan doesnt allow the air to circulate quite how youd want it to. All in all disappointed in the functionality.”
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know about your experience with the SlumberPod Fan. We really appreciate your feedback. Fans are an optional accessory for SlumberPod and using without a fan does not impact safety. We are sorry to hear that the fan did not offer the desired functionality that you expected.
“This review isn't so much for the fan itself but the fan pocket in the slumberpod. The fan works just fine. Unfortunately, the fan pocket seems like an after thought. The fan does not sit at an angle in the pocket that circulates any air to the child. It sits so low that the air can't really be felt inside. Im going to have to get in there and sew the pocket tighter so it actually functions the way its supposed to.”
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The lower fan pouch creates a chimney like effect circulating the air throughout the pod for indirect airflow. We do have upper fan pouch kits available on our website which would help provide a direct airflow.

“I’ve tried a few potable fans over the years, especially for travel. I like the fan on at night to help me sleep! I’ve never found anything in this size that’s more powerful!! I just put it on my nightstand at night and not only does it keep me cool but gives off a nice white noise. I use this more then my baby!”
