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 just 4 inches in diameter, making it compact enough to sit on a desk or slip into a bag when on the go.
Performance and Reviews
Senior tech critic Alex Lee praised 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 it 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."
Features and Specifications
The gadget is rechargeable via a USB port, eliminating the need for battery changes and making it an ideal companion for home offices. It offers three speed settings: low, medium, and high. Once fully charged, which takes approximately five hours, the fan operates for about nine hours on low speed, six hours on medium, and four hours on high. The fan includes a built-in fold-out stand, allowing it to be used handheld or propped up on a table. It is available in five colours: white, teal, hot pink, lilac, and lake blue. The white and teal shades are sleek, while the hot pink, lilac, and lake blue add a splash of colour.
Priced at £12 from Johnlewis.com, prices may vary.
