John Lewis & Partners has introduced a handheld and foldable desk fan designed to make surviving the working day in the heat a total breeze. This small yet powerful portable fan measures 4 inches in diameter, making it compact enough to sit on a desk or slip into a bag for on-the-go use.
Performance and Reviews
Senior tech critic Alex Lee praised the fan in his review of the best handheld fans, highlighting “its near-silent performance.” He wrote, “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 fan on 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.”
Features and Specifications
The gadget is rechargeable via a USB port, eliminating the need for battery changes, making it an ideal companion for home offices. It offers three speed settings to adjust the breeze as needed. Once fully charged—which takes only five hours—the fan operates for approximately nine hours on low speed, six hours on medium speed, and four hours on high speed.
The fan features a built-in fold-out stand, allowing it to be used as a handheld device 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, adding a splash of colour to any outfit.
Priced at £12, the fan is available from Johnlewis.com. Prices may vary.
