It is a running joke among my friends that I never leave home without a mini electric or handheld fan in my bag or pocket. Even in winter, I always have one on me. So when I heard Dyson was launching their first handheld fan, my ears perked up, and I could not wait to try it.
The brand is renowned for its brilliant tower fans, so it made perfect sense for them to shrink that technology into a portable option. The device is aptly named the HushJet Mini Cool Fan.
Dyson Hushjet Mini Cool Handheld Fan Stay cool wherever you are with this compact fan, designed for fast, high-powered airflow. It features five speeds including a boost mode, a 360-degree adjustable nozzle, and up to six hours of battery life. Lightweight and portable, it can be used handheld, worn around your neck, or set on a desk. Buy Now for £99.99.
Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer at Dyson, said, 'Since 2009, we have been obsessed with airflow. Mastering air projection, reducing turbulence, and refining thermal technology. The HushJet Mini Cool Fan is the culmination of that journey: powerful airflow, engineered for life on the move by bringing elite cooling technology from every home to your hand.'
The HushJet Mini Cool Fan retails for £99.99. Fortunately, I had a holiday to Las Vegas and Los Angeles planned, where temperatures reached 38 degrees Celsius, so I could put it to the ultimate test.
The first thing I noticed about Dyson's new device is how lightweight it is. It weighs only 212 grams and is designed to be slim with minimal bulk, making it perfect for popping in your bag on the go without weighing you down.
Then came time to use it as the Nevada heat intensified. Let me sum it up quickly: if you want a Beyoncé fan moment, this is the one for you. It has five airflow speeds plus a boost mode for extra turbo-charged power, so you can easily adapt the speed to the environment. From a light breeze to an intense wind, I cannot fault the various levels it provides.
Of course, high-powered speeds come with noise. It is not the quietest when increased, but it is also not the loudest compared to cheaper models I have experienced. It does not have a high-pitched whirling or clanking sound like most; instead, it produces a low humming sound, which is expected given its power.
The battery life is brilliant. I am used to devices that do not last a full night out, but this one boasts a six-hour battery life, so you can be assured you will not go without a cooling breeze when needed.
Another aspect that makes the fan worth its price tag is how multifunctional it is. Not only can it be handheld, but it also comes with a base attachment allowing it to sit on multiple surfaces, and it has a neck strap that fits perfectly so you can have it on you without needing to hold it.
Overall, when comparing to other similar fans, I would say you definitely get a more professional and targeted experience with the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan. The power it delivers is unmatched, and the sleek design and technology used make it worth its higher price tag of £99.99. However, it is still not as expensive as some of its competitors.
The fan comes in three different colourways: Ink/Cobalt Blue, Carnelian/Sky, and Stone/Blush. Whatever your personal preference, you will find a style that becomes your new companion.
As summer approaches and temperatures rise, now is the best time to prepare and live your best cool life in the heat.
