London is bracing for yet another heatwave, with forecasters predicting seven days or more of sweltering heat of at least 30C. An amber heat health warning has been issued for the city, which runs hotter than both Ibiza and the Canary Islands. While we are rather excited and already have the rose chilling in the fridge, we have officially entered panic mode as to how we are going to keep cool. But timing could not be better – Dyson's first ever handheld fan has just landed, offering a welcome way to stay cool as temperatures climb.
Design and Functionality
At 99 pounds, Dyson's handheld fan is designed with flexibility and busy lives in mind. You can wear it around your neck, set it on your desk, or carry it with you on the go. It offers multiple airflow settings, operates quietly, and delivers up to six hours of cooling on a single charge. It has become my heatwave saviour.
Offering the same incredible technology that we are used to in Dyson's bigger models, for a fraction of the price. The fan comes in three stylish colours: ink/cobalt, carnelian/sky, and stone/blush.
Performance and Features
Dyson continues to focus on refining products that are compact yet powerful, like the pencilvac and the supersonic hair dryer. This fan follows suit, weighing just 212g, so you can stay cool on the move without feeling weighed down.
Do not let the size of this fan fool you, because this thing moves fast, hitting speeds of up to 25m/s thanks to a motor that revs at 65,000rpm. You can customise the cooling output with five levels depending on how much relief you need, while an upgraded airflow system focuses the stream exactly where it is needed, rather than just blowing it around.
Noise has been thoughtfully refined, too. Dyson's hushjet nozzle creates a more balanced, easy on the ear sound by softening lower frequencies and removing any high-pitched whir or motor noise, so that the cooling feels just as smooth as it sounds.
Charging and Accessories
You can charge the Dyson hushjet mini cool handheld fan the same way you would other small tech, like your phone, with a USB-C charging point that gets it back up to full power (six hours worth) in just three hours. You can choose from three classic Dyson finishes, including ink/cobalt, carnelian/sky and stone/blush. Inside each box you will find a charging stand, travel pouch, neck dock and USB-C cable. Plus, you can buy a universal mount to attach to a pram or other items of clothing.
The fan features a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is generally permitted in carry-on luggage and not checked baggage, so if you are lucky enough to be jetting off somewhere this half term (although we are not sure you will need to given the forecast) then you can take your handy new tool with you.
