£22 handheld fan and power bank duo is 'fantastic for concerts' ahead of TRNSMT
'It is easy to use, great charging which lasts for a while!'
With the weather becoming warmer, those taking part in outdoor events such as festivals need to make sure they have a way to keep cool while in the middle of a crowd. At the moment, the Met Office is predicting a high of 20 degrees for the first day (July 11) of the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow.
In order to help tackle the heat, one essential item festival goers may want to bring is a handheld fan. With its compact size, users can easily slip it in and out of their bag or pocket when they need to cool down for a bit.
One popular device on Amazon is the HandFan Portable Handheld Fan, which is currently retailing for £21.99. Now while this fan is already practical as a handy way to keep cool, this device also comes with the added bonus of being a portable charger.
Perfect for a range of activities such as camping, travelling, watching sporting events and concerts, or even just using it while at your desk at work, this handheld fan will quickly become a shopper's must-have companion in the warm weather.
Boasting a foldable design, shoppers can adjust the angle of the fan from 0 to 180 degrees. This device also comes with three fan speeds that all generate a strong airflow that is said to cool you down in just a few seconds. From a full charge, this fan is said to offer up to 20 hours of airflow depending on the speed used.
The best feature of this fan is that it comes with a 5200mAh power bank at the handle of the device. This can easily be taken off to be used as an emergency portable charger if your phone suddenly runs out of charge in the middle of a festival or when you're going about your daily routine.

Product Description
Another popular fan on Amazon is the Jsdoin Hand Held Fan, which retails for £17.99. Available in white, blue or green, this rechargeable fan comes with five adjustable wind speeds and is said to offer a battery life that lasts 20 per cent longer than other handheld fans.
Alternatively, Argos is selling the Bush Handheld & Foldable Desk Fan for their 'lowest price' of £12. Available in black, pink, white and blue, this 4-inch fan comes with three speed settings and an adjustable tilt so shoppers can use it hands free on a desk.
Back to the HandFan, the 2-in-1 device currently has 4.6 star rating from over 9,700 Amazon shoppers, with 300 people buying the device in the last month to try and beat the heat.
One thrilled shopper said: "Absolutely love this fan! It is easy to use, great charging which lasts for a while! I recommend this to everyone who asks me... it's like i am a rep for this fan at this point."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "Really good product. I've had this for a few weeks now and only charged it once. Great speed settings and it's little but powerful. Does not interrupt my partner sleep during the night whilst using it as the noise level is low."
However, not everyone was fully impressed by the handheld fan. One person noted: "A nice idea but much too noisy, especially on higher settings."
While another shopper suggested: "The only thing that would make it perfect where if the head could swivel and there were a mist option."
On the flip side, a top reviewer wrote: "I now wouldn't be without this fan. Fantastic for concerts keeping me cool in crowds and on the tube as well as having the functionality to charge my phone. A lot of people have commented how they wish they had this. Relatively quiet but cools me down in an instant."
With a sixth shopper sharing how they found the fan: "I came across this fan whilst a lady used it next to me at a party. The fan was on for most of the event and it just kept going and going! I had to take a picture of it from the lady and purchase one for myself as she said she had bought hers from Amazon and she's had it for four years."
