Introduction:Manner’s latest summer merchandise is a handheld mini fan featuring the brand’s logo, which customers can redeem by purchasing three specified extra-large combo sets. However, after actual use, many users reported that the airflow is too weak to provide relief from the heat, and when set to higher speeds, it produces an ear-piercing noise comparable to a power drill or hairdryer. This article delves into the real user feedback and hands-on performance of this merchandise, along with its redemption requirements, to help coffee enthusiasts evaluate whether it’s worth purchasing.

Manner has long been known for releasing a variety of exquisitely designed merchandise cups, affectionately dubbed the “cup manufacturer” by fans. Whenever a new cup design is launched, it always attracts a large number of consumers to rush to buy, especially the “cup hoarders” who never miss a single release, often filling entire cabinets with their Manner cup collections.

However, this time Manner broke with tradition by not releasing any new cups, instead opting to offer a handheld mini fan as summer merchandise. The fan is pink in color and features the brand logo. Customers must order the specified merchandise combo through the official mini program or delivery platforms to receive it.

When the promotion first launched, many consumers eagerly participated, hoping for a practical summer tool, some even bringing their own tumblers to the store to make purchases. But upon arrival, they discovered that this merchandise combo was very different from previous ones — customers had to buy one “Extra Large Kumquat Lemon Americano,” one “Extra Large Americano,” and one “Extra Large Latte,” totaling three extra-large drinks, in order to exchange for the fan.

For many individual buyers or those without a regular coffee partner, the quantity of three extra-large drinks is clearly excessive—not only difficult to consume, but also a burden in terms of cost and physical effort—leading some customers to ultimately opt out of the exchange.

As for those who managed to gather friends, purchase all three drinks, and successfully redeem the fan, they were initially full of anticipation. However, when they opened the package and used the handheld fan for the first time, they were often left deeply disappointed.Even when set to the highest speed, the airflow remains relatively weak, making it hard to effectively dissipate the summer heat and stuffiness., resulting in a significant gap between the actual experience and the originally expected “practical gadget.”

What troubled consumers even more was the noise generated by the handheld fan during operation. According to several online videos recorded by users, the sound is noticeably loud once the fan is turned on, especially at higher speeds.Some users described the noise as similar to a power drill or a hairdryer, while others likened it to a leaf blower or even a tractor.At the third speed setting, it almost becomes the center of attention among people nearby, causing considerable embarrassment.

One netizen joked: “The first speed is still acceptable, the second speed feels like construction has started, and the third speed is outright self-torture in public.” Another user mentioned that they had originally intended to take the fan out for walks or commuting, but after actual use, they ended up leaving it at home to avoid becoming the focus of passersby.

Compared to many handheld mini fans on the market that emphasize “quiet operation” and “strong airflow,” Manner’s merchandise not only underperforms in airflow, but also falls short significantly in noise control, leading many consumers to lament feeling like they bought “the case but not the jewel.”

Although the brand attempted to introduce a highly practical piece of merchandise this time, with the original intention of providing customers with more diverse benefit options,the redemption requirement of three extra-large drinks is relatively high, and the freebie did not meet consumer expectations in terms of both airflow and noise performance,ultimately leaving many previously excited fans feeling let down.

In summary, if you are a loyal Manner customer and happen to have coffee partners to share the burden of purchasing three extra-large drinks, this fan can still serve as an additional small collectible gift; but if you prioritize practicality and user experience, it is advisable to refer to more user reviews before deciding whether it is worth redeeming.
