Has anyone else wondered why Milwaukee hasn't made their portable fan more multifunctional? It would be great if they could include a USB-C port so it could double up as a power bank. Just imagine having a fan that also charges your devices and maybe even has a built-in radio! I'm thinking about modifying mine to add those features when I find the time.

I get what you're saying about wanting more features, but remember that adding extras can complicate things. If it breaks, you're left without a fan when you need it most. I do agree that a USB-C port could be useful in emergencies for charging your phone, but keeping it simple can mean fewer repairs and failures. That's crucial during those boiling hot days!
What about designing it so the fan, charger, and radio work independently? A simple manual switch could isolate the functions, so if one part fails, you still have the others. Just a thought!
