'Kept me cool': This bestselling handheld fan is on sale for $14 — 40% off
This summer has certainly been a sizzler, with record heat waves rolling out across the country and sweet, cool relief getting harder and harder to find. Don't get us wrong, we were longing for summer heat when we were in the thick of winter, but there is such a thing as weather that's too warm — and that's when having a personal fan becomes a need rather than a want, especially if the gizmo in question is the Jisulife 3-in-1 Handheld Fan. It has a fan base (heh, heh) of more than 36,600 chill shoppers, and right now it's on sale for as little as $14 at Amazon.
The first thing you might notice about this ingenious device is its adorable bear-shaped design and the pretty colors it comes in. But it doesn't sacrifice function for form! It provides up to 21 hours of cooling time when fully charged and folds down into a little tube less than five inches long for space-saving transport. Speaking of charging: The Jisulife includes a built-in USB power bank and flashlight, making it pretty much everything you need while you're on the go. Keep one in your bag or pocket when it's downright sweltering out — future-you will be so thankful! And even if you're planning more of a staycation this season, this small wonder can be folded in half, propped up and used as a desk fan to beat the heat.
It's useful for another, more personal kind of heatwave too: Many reviewers of a certain age have found this to be an absolute lifesaver. "I’m a mature woman and often get hot flashes," said one happy customer. "This handheld mini fan is a godsend! It doesn’t take up much room, holds a charge nicely and you can set it on a table and point it at you as well. As a safety measure, it has an automatic cutoff if you hit the blades on anything. It was a good deal. I’m very happy with my purchase."
This would-be hot-and-bothered devotee owns four and agrees: "Perfect for camping or hotel or hot flashes."
Not only will this compact cub help you stay cool while you're braving the lines at Disney or spending time in nature, it'll also keep your phone juiced up. We've all experienced the horror of noticing our battery is at 13% with zero outlets in sight, so having this nifty gadget on hand is absolutely essential. At night, the flashlight function is really useful when you're digging around your bag for your keys or need help seeing where you're going.
With so many uses, you'll probably wonder what you ever did without it. Keep reading to see why thousands of reviewers thought it was worthy of their five-star seal of approval.
"Must-buy for Disney!" exclaimed one enthusiastic shopper. "I love this fan so much! I take it with me on every trip to Disney World. Every time I am in the park, I get asked by 10-plus people for the link to this product. It's lightweight, foldable, has a good battery life and blows amazing cold air. This is the only way I could enjoy Disney World in the summer. Highly recommend."
Another reviewer called it a "summer essential," adding, "It fits perfectly in my purse. Comes in handy in the Louisiana heat. Battery life lasted for about two weeks for me. Also, the flashlight is very bright and the perfect addition."
"A fan, flashlight and power bank!" trumpeted one satisfied customer. "It is inexpensive and worked amazingly! Kept me cool during 100-degree Florida heat. It lasted the entire day at the amusement park. The power bank got my dying phone charged right back up. This is a MUST-buy for any vacation."
'It's lightweight, foldable, has a good battery life and blows amazing cold air,' says one impressed reviewer. The pink is the best deal of the bunch, but we adore all five colors.
