In terms of simple luxuries, few things are better than a portable hand fan. Whether you’re standing in line at a theme park, reclining at the beach or taking the metro to work, a compact, fresh blast of cool breeze can really keep you comfy while others swelter in the heat.
While there are a billion options on the market, reviewers are particularly drawn to this folding, rechargeable “turbo” fan from Diveblues. You can hold it, wear it around your neck or rest it on a nightstand, desk, or table to enjoy quiet, cool air wherever you are. And today, you can snag it in black or white for 43% off when you hit the 10% off coupon to the already on-sale price. Users say this baby is small but mighty, with “unbelievable” power and has quickly become their favorite gadget for staying cool during hot days.
“With five speed settings, I can easily adjust the airflow to suit my needs, whether I want a gentle breeze or a strong gust,” one reviewer writes. “It’s perfect for everything from outdoor activities to keeping cool at home.”
Made with six blades and a high-power brushless motor, the brand says this fan moves three times faster than traditional models. While that may sound too good to be true, reviewers seem to back it up. Some say the power rivals “larger fans” and blasts cool enough to “dry the sweat from your face.”
“This is the best handheld fan I have ever seen,” one said. “The amount of air that this fan puts out is amazing.” One user said she purchased three different fans for a trip to Florida, and this one reigned supreme. Another said she’s now purchased nine (that’s right — NINE) of these fans.
Yet, the most compelling argument may be made by user David Tindell, who wrote, “I almost fought an airport security guard over this!” after using the fan every day on a trip to Egypt.
The other selling point is the long-lasting battery, which the brand says lasts up to 12 hours but reviewers say has lasted them days on a single charge. “It keeps a charge forever,” a reviewer wrote. “I have it in my purse at all times so it’s ready when I get those hot flashes.”
It’s certainly not a silent fan, with users saying it can get a little loud, especially at the higher speeds. Though most agree the cooling power makes the noise worth it. One user said they’ll even use it as a sort of “white noise machine” while the family is on vacation.
Users particularly like the simplicity of the fan, with one button for on/off and five adjustable speeds. Weighing less than half a pound, it’s easy to bring in a bag or purse and comes with a lanyard if you want to rock it around your neck. Or, fold it back and leave it on a table or desk for cooling air as you’re seated.
“Lightweight and compact, the fan fits comfortably in my hand and easily slips into my bag,” another user wrote. “Its sleek design adds a touch of style to my summer essentials, making it not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing.”

“It really is powerful! I live in Florida and I’m a woman in her mid 50′s. Basically, I sweat 24/7. Every fan I’ve gotten had only been good enough to blow my hair around a bit, never enough to actually dry the sweat off my face. Until now. Out of the box this thing was blasting. It is a small cone of air but it’s enough to cover my face and keep it dry. I highly recommend this one.” — william panacek
“This is definitely a 10 out of 10!!!! The power it has is insane. There are 5 settings and yes the higher you go the louder you go. I live in California and the summer can go as high as 110* so a little noise is no problem since the motor is unreal!! I received it today and I hope the battery life is a long one. I will try it out at the Orange County fair. I highly recommend this fan!!!” — Alina M Baldeon
“Used this product during a Nevada visit. With the high temperatures this fan kept a cool temperature. This product kept a great charge for 5 days the charge did not go below 3 bars. I took my charger in case and did not need it. Fit in my bag comfortably. There is a little sound/ not noise but women were jealous as some was using paper to fan themselves lol lol lol.” — FB
