My favorite handheld fan is less than $13 right on Amazon right now

There are very few products I test or buy that end up on my “obsessed” list. At NBC Select, we try out a lot of products from Amazon, whether it’s a stain remover, toiletry bag or a whitening toothpaste but they don’t always end up being products we love. One product I’d personally file under “best thing I’ve ever bought” is the Jisulife Handheld fan. As someone who is almost always hot, especially during daily commutes or errands, this fan consistently comes to the rescue during heat waves, beach trips and more.

Around the size of a small body spray (think Sol de Janeiro), the Jisulife handheld fan has saved me from coming home dripping in sweat many times. It has two plastic blades at the top (they’re hidden when it’s closed) which aren’t sharp at all and run at three speeds (I find that all of them are extremely cooling). One of its best features is the inclusion of USB and USB-C ports, which I use to charge the fan itself and also power up my phone or other compatible small electronics on the go .Plus, it has a flashlight on one end that comes in handy when I’m standing at my front door searching for my keys sitting at the bottom of my bag at night. It also comes with a wrist lanyard you can loop through the top if you want to keep your hand free while holding it. Keep in mind not all fan colors are equally discounted.

Since talking my co-workers’ ears off about how much I love this fan, I’ve been able to convince NBC Select’s senior manager of community engagement Rosalie Sparaco to get one, too. “Commuting while seven months pregnant in what seems like a weekly New York City heatwave is no joke,” she says. “This fan has been great while I’m waiting for the train, walking to the office and even when I get into work and I’m just so sweaty. I love that I can use it handheld but also easily prop it up on my desk.”
