Handheld fan that gives 'lovely cold blast' has 20% off
The JISULIFE Handheld Fan Life7 has an impressive battery life and can be worn around the neck as well as held and propped up
Wimbledon fortnight has arrived with tennis fans flocking to the famed courts. While we may be experiencing slightly cooler spells of sunshine following a heat wave, one gadget everyone needs, especially those sitting in the sun, is an electric handheld fan.
For a durable, long-lasting, and portable fan, we've found a nifty deal on Amazon that'll bag shoppers 20% off a 4.6-star fan that has five speeds, is rechargeable and foldable, and does not require being held. The JISULIFE Handheld Fan Life7 usually costs £28.99 on Amazon, but with 20% off, the fan is now priced at £23.19 for its 5000mAh size.
The fan is a 3-in-1 and can help users cool down in a variety of scenarios - it can be handheld, propped up on the desk and has a neck strap allowing for hands-free cooling. Hands-free is ideal for those heading to Wimbledon and other sporting events who'd need to keep their hands free for enthusiastic watching and drinks.
Crafted with a 12-blade design and brushless motor, the mini fan blasts a cooling breeze. It also has an easy-to-read digital display which can show the fan's wind speed and remaining battery.
Ideal for big events where a fan is needed for hours on end, the device has a 19.5 hour life before needing to recharge when it's used at speed one. Although it does have five different speeds (which may reduce the battery life as the day goes on).
It can also be folded up for both easy storage and for propping up the fan on a flat surface - great for office workers. At £23.19, the fan isn't the cheapest option on the market, Argos has a four-inch Handheld & Desk Fan for £12 - although the battery life is not quite so long.
For an even cheaper option, Superdrug offers an aesthetically pleasing Portable Fan in pink for £5 that's ' compact, chic, and the perfect size for on-the-go'. While shoppers have said the fan is 'good for travelling because it folds small and cools me down', others have been disappointed in its run time, with one person writing: "Bought 2, 1 only spins for 5 seconds, the other doesn't do anything. Both charged too."
Whereas the Amazon fan has been praised by shoppers for its long battery life, with many dubbing it a 'life saver this summer'. One person raved: "Highly recommend these, have taken them on holiday a few times and were such a useful product, the battery life is very good and the fan is quite powerful for a small item, lots of people fanning themselves with paper fans where as this just sits on the table and keeps you cool, great for busy trains as well in the summer."
Another added: "This has actually saved me on many occasions! Charges really quickly and battery lasts for ages. A lifesaver on the tube in the recent heatwave, in shops, I use it all the time at home as well. Very quiet in low speed, slightly louder and very strong in highest setting - lovely cold blast. Best purchase this summer and, even though it doesn't fit in small bags, I don't go anywhere without it."
A third added: "I have been recommending non-stop to other friends. These fans blow cold air even if the weather is hot. Unlike other fans, the air blown is also strong, and only gets stronger the higher the power. There is also a lanyard that you can hang around the neck and it's easy to do something else whilst the fan is hanging around your neck. We bought one for each of our kids due to its portability and small size."
Their only gripe was that: "It can get quite loud the higher the power but to be honest, don't mind as long as it works for the purpose I bought it for." It's important to note that because of its strong battery life, it's been described by some users as relatively 'chunky' with some 'weight' to it.
One person said: "The battery adds weight so it feels secure and sturdy, and it's not the lightest of portable fans, but don't let that put you off. You do get the feeling it will last."
The fan is on sale at Amazon for £23.19 here.
