John Lewis & Partners has introduced a handheld and foldable desk fan designed to make surviving hot working days a breeze. This small yet powerful portable fan, measuring just 4 inches in diameter, is compact enough to sit on a desk or slip into a bag for on-the-go use.
Near-Silent Performance Praised by Experts
Senior tech critic Alex Lee lauded the fan's near-silent performance in his review of the best handheld fans. He noted, "If you prioritise subtlety and simplicity over power, and want something no-frills that won't distract you, this is a nice handheld fan." Deputy IndyBest editor Sabrina Sahota also tested the device during a trip to Australia, stating, "This lightweight, little fan is perfect for travel and genuinely made the Australian summer heat more bearable when out and about exploring."
Rechargeable and Versatile
The gadget is rechargeable via a USB port, eliminating the need for battery changes and making it an ideal companion for home offices. It features three speed settings, allowing users to adjust the airflow to their preference. Once fully charged—which takes approximately five hours—the fan operates for up to nine hours on low speed, six hours on medium, and four hours on high speed.
The fan includes a built-in fold-out stand, enabling it to be used either handheld or propped up on a table. It is available in five colours: sleek white and teal, as well as vibrant hot pink, lilac, and lake blue to add a splash of colour to any outfit.
Priced at £12 from Johnlewis.com, prices may vary.
