Summer isn’t here quite yet but already the heat’s starting to turn up in some parts of the country. One simple and inexpensive way to beat the sweltering heat is to get yourself a portable fan. Neck fans have recently become very popular, but some people don’t like the feeling of something bulky weighing down on their shoulders and crowding the neck. An equally effective and less intrusive solution is a portable fan like this one. Amazon is currently offering the Diveblues Rechargeable Portable Fan in off-white or obsidian black for just $8.99 after you apply coupon code “I9D3G6RN“. You don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member to get this deal.
Portable Turbo Fan for $9
The Divesblue portable fan is light; at 6.7 ounces it’s roughly half the weight of a neck fan. It’s small enough to stow away in a bag, but a lanyard is also included so you can loop it around your neck when need it at a moment’s notice. The fan has five different speed settings, with the highest setting producing quite a bit of airflow (10ms/s) at the expense of some noise. You can either use it on the move while holding it or you can set it down and angle it towards you thanks to numerous adjustment options. The 4,000mAh battery lasts up to 12 hours and it can be recharged with a USB-C cable.
A portable fan has plenty of practical uses, especially if you’re going somewhere hot and humid (like Disney World Orlando in the summer). For gamers, it makes a lot of sense because your room can get pretty toasty on a hot day, especially with your gaming console or PC working overtime and exhausting tons of hot air. Additionally, if you’re like me and you get sweaty whenever you wear a gaming headset, a little fan pointed at your head could be the solution for that too.
