Beating the heat doesn’t have to require upping your electric bill but it does require a little bit of clever thinking, especially when you’re out and about. Portable ACs may make it easier to keep your home cooler on a budget, but taking an A/C on the go isn’t feasible.
One of our favorite options during the hot summer months: keeping a portable fan in our bag for an instant pick-me-up breeze when we need it. This one from Amazon is currently just $12.99 and lasts for 10+ hours on a single charge. The best part: when you don’t need it, it folds down to the size of a tube of lipstick for easy storage in your bag or pockets.
Read on to find out more about this Amazon portable fan deal.
More than 75% of shoppers have given this handheld fan a full, five-star review on Amazon, with reviewers raving about how lightweight it is, the mini size and the surprisingly powerful breeze.
The mini fan charges up via USB and in our experience, it gets to a full charge in about two hours or so. The manufacturer, FrSara, says the fan can stay powered for up to 14 hours, though in our experience it’s been closer to 10-12 hours on a single charge. Still, that means our portable fan can take us through an entire day at a music festival or at the beach, and it’s great for travelers too.
What we like: the handle doubles as a power bank, with the ability to charge your other devices too. And when you’re done, everything folds down into a tiny tube that tucks away easily.
Regularly $15.99, get this portable handheld fan on Amazon for just $12.99 here. Choose from seven colors.
