With warmer weather on the horizon, John Lewis’s anyday handheld fan has become a popular choice for staying cool. Priced at just £12, the fan is fully rechargeable and available in five colours, including teal, hot pink, and lilac.
The fan measures 4in in diameter, making it compact enough to fit in a bag or sit on a desk. It features three speed settings and a built-in fold-out stand, allowing it to be used handheld or propped up on a table. A full charge takes five hours, providing up to nine hours of use on low speed, six on medium, and four on high.
Senior tech critic Alex Lee praised its near-silent performance, noting it is ideal for those who prioritise subtlety and simplicity. Deputy IndyBest editor Sabrina Sahota also tested the fan during a trip to Australia, describing it as lightweight and perfect for travel, making the summer heat more bearable.
The fan has garnered over 3,500 five-star reviews and is a fraction of the cost of brands like Shark or Dyson, which can exceed £100. It recharges via USB, eliminating the need for battery changes.
