Amazon has reduced the TUNISE Portable Handheld Fan to £16.99, down from £19.99, as the UK braces for its fifth heatwave of the summer. Temperatures are forecast to reach 36C in some parts of the country this week, with highs of 33C predicted for Liverpool by the Met Office, making fans an essential part of summer survival both indoors and outdoors.
Features and Versatility
The fan comes in a variety of colours at differing prices, including navy blue, purple, lilac and white. It is rechargeable and can work continuously for up to 18 hours, taking just 1.5 hours to fully charge. Plus, it can also double as a mobile power bank.
The gadget has six speeds but is described as 'ultra-quiet' even on the highest setting. It can be used hand-held, folded into a stand for desk use, and carried around the neck with the provided rope.
Shopper Reviews
The TUNISE Portable Handheld Fan has some rave reviews from Amazon shoppers. One buyer said: "Powerful, quiet and portable. Really useful fan. Brilliant little fan - works really well and is effective even on the lowest mode which is so silent you can use it on your desk at school without disturbing others. Charge time is rapid and battery lasts for several days even when used throughout the day. Small enough to keep in a bag or cargo pocket. Would be a great fan to take to an event on a hot day."
Another buyer shared: "This is a lifesaver when going out in this current heatwave! The difference a cool breeze can make is huge. It's easy to carry and isn't heavy, the fan has six speed settings, it's really strong. It doesn't get too loud and is easy to charge with the included USB-A to USB-C cable. It comes with a strap if you wish to wear it around your neck. I personally keep mine in my handbag or in my hand when the heat is too much. Battery life is great, I can use it for a few days and still have plenty of charge left. One last thing is the ability to use it on desks is super useful, I use mine on the desk at my work… For the price it's well worth it, I would recommend this."
However, one shopper found an issue with the neck strap. They explained: "It’s OK. It works and it’s reliable, but the neck strap is terrible and keeps falling off."
Someone else is delighted with the TUNISE Portable Handheld Fan, as they wrote: "I’m really impressed with this Tunise handheld fan. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around, making it perfect for hot days, commuting, travelling, or even keeping on my desk at work. Despite its small size, the airflow is surprisingly strong and it cools down quickly. I also like that it has multiple speed settings, so I can adjust it depending on how warm I feel. The battery life has been excellent and lasts much longer than I expected between charges. The noise level is just perfect. Absolute value for money!"
Alternatives
As an alternative, shoppers could try the Kinetik Wellbeing The Comfort Cooling Fan for £39.99 from Boots. This one is marketed towards women struggling with hot flushes during the menopause, but it works just as well during a heatwave, with three fan speeds, a built-in cooling plate for targeted relief, and a stylish design.
There is also the JISULIFE Handheld Fan 5 Plus from Currys, which is now £14.99 down from £19.99. Available in white or mint green, it has five speed settings, built-in noise reduction, and lasts for up to 18 hours on a single charge.
