I’m a big proponent of not being hot, which means I make ample use of handheld fans whenever I can—sporting events, walks, on the couch as a passive-aggressive way to tell my husband it’s time to turn on the AC. Sometimes, though, one needs their hands for other things, which is where a neck fan comes in.
I’ve tried multiple models over the years, and this lightweight design from JisuLife is my favorite—it’s easy to wear, the fan noise isn’t too loud, and it’s on sale right now. Plus, it comes in five colors of “anti-greasy” (per the description, and no, I don’t know what it means) ABS plastic, including the green version shown below.
The JisuLife doesn’t have the strongest airflow, and the ends can’t adjust to angle the air, as other fans are able to do. Also, if you have children, wearing it in public is sure to mortify them. But I will happily trade a reduction in fan features and a dose of secondhand embarrassment for a lightness in weight—only about 9 ounces in this case. The JisuLife also has five speeds, and the 4,000-mAh battery lasts several hours on the highest setting, which is plenty of time to keep you cool physically, but certainly not cool in the figurative sense to your kids.
If you’re set on winning brownie points from your kids or you just have different portable fan priorities, check out other great fans that are also on sale right now.
