4. Best folding handheld fan: Jhua Handheld Mini Fan

The ultimate portable solution for staying cool on the go! This compact and folding fan is the perfect travel companion, featuring a sleek and stylish design that is both practical and functional. The Jhua Handheld Fan has a choice of two speeds, which deliver an impressive breeze, despite its size. The soft blades won’t hurt your hands, but as they’re not surrounded by a protective case – as some of our other choices are – make sure you keep hair well out of the way.

The downside? It may not be as robust as other options, and some found it was very noisy for its small size. We love how lightweight it is though – it would make a great addition to your bag and you'll still have enough room for essentials like your phone, keys and a reusable water bottle. Is it rechargeable?: The majority of handheld fans now feature rechargeable batteries that can be charged up from your electricity mains or laptop using a USB cable. Rechargeable models are a great money-saving option, and you won’t have to worry about having spare batteries around the house.

Handheld fans have thankfully come a long way since the – quite frankly – lethal plastic blade models of the ‘80s (remember them?). Now you’re spoilt for choice with designs offering a genuine, cooling relief from hot weather, that not only do the job, but look great too. And while the best portable air conditioner or an air cooler can keep you chilled at home, you can't really take it with you on your commute, which is where a small fan is ideal - just pop it in your bag for an on-the-go icy blast.

The handle can be folded too, creating a base so it can go on the table if you want your hands free.
