Model-Specific Results
2 of 2 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Vornado 723DC — Large Air Circulator (11") (61W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vornado 633DC — Medium Air Circulator (9") | 40W | 40W | Safe | ~22.1h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: The 633DC uses a brushless DC motor powered through an internal AC-to-DC converter, drawing 40W at max speed and as little as 2W on the lowest setting. As an electronic load, there is no motor inrush — startup demand equals running demand. Field note: At 40W max, this pairs with any station in the catalog. The real question is overnight runtime: a 500Wh station delivers roughly 8 hours at full speed, or a full night on a lower setting. Can a portable power station run a fan overnight while camping? Yes. The worst-case portable fan in our set draws 61W with no startup surge. Any power station handles the load — the real question is runtime. At 61W, a 500Wh station lasts roughly 5.5 hours at max speed. Lower the fan speed to stretch a full night on smaller batteries. | |||||
| Vornado 723DC — Large Air Circulator (11") | 61W | 61W | Safe | ~14.5h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: The 723DC is the larger sibling at 61W max draw, using the same brushless DC motor architecture as the 633DC. The 50% higher wattage buys a larger 11.25-inch blade and significantly more airflow (up to 723 CFM). Field note: The extra 21W over the 633DC matters most on small camping stations. On a 300Wh battery, that gap costs you about 2 hours of runtime overnight — enough to be the difference between waking up cool or waking up hot. Can a portable power station run a fan overnight while camping? Yes. The worst-case portable fan in our set draws 61W with no startup surge. Any power station handles the load — the real question is runtime. At 61W, a 500Wh station lasts roughly 5.5 hours at max speed. Lower the fan speed to stretch a full night on smaller batteries. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 3300W surge capacity can handle typical startup demands from refrigerators, well pumps, and other motor-driven appliances that require brief inrush current. The 1800W continuous rating supports sustained loads like power tools, kitchen appliances, and electronics. Understand that this is a legacy unit no longer in active production.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Portable DC air circulators are pure electronic loads — a brushless motor behind an AC-to-DC converter, with no inrush spike. The two variants in this set span 40–61W, representing the practical range for camping-grade air circulators.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~14.5h. Variable speed control lets you trade airflow for runtime. At half speed, power draw drops well below 50% of rated max, making overnight use feasible even on smaller batteries.
Field Note
For overnight camping, pick the smallest fan that moves enough air for your tent or RV berth. Every watt saved translates directly to extra sleep before the battery dies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow DELTA (Gen 1) power a Portable Fan?
Yes. The EcoFlow DELTA (Gen 1) provides 1800W running / 3300W surge. The Portable Fan needs 71W / 71W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 1729W of running headroom and 3229W of surge margin.
How long will the DELTA (Gen 1) run a Portable Fan?
Approximately 14.5 hours, based on the Portable Fan's 61W draw and the DELTA (Gen 1)'s 1260Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 975W allocated to the Portable Fan, the DELTA (Gen 1) still has ~404W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
