To inspect a handheld fan, follow these steps:

1. Visual Inspection:

• Check the exterior for any cracks, scratches, or damage.

• Ensure the fan blades are intact and not bent or broken.

2. Battery and Power Source:

• If it's battery-operated, check that the battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion.

• If it’s rechargeable, ensure the charging port is functional.

3. Functionality Test:

• Turn on the fan to ensure it operates correctly.

• Test different speed settings (if available) to confirm they work smoothly.

4. Noise Check:

• Listen for any unusual sounds while the fan is running, which could indicate mechanical issues.

5. Stability:

• Hold the fan and assess its weight and balance. It should feel stable and not tip easily.

6. Safety Features:

• Ensure any safety guards or covers are securely in place and functioning.

7. Cleaning:

• Check for dust or debris on the fan blades and housing, and confirm that it can be easily cleaned.

8. Cord Inspection (if applicable):
