JISULIFEPortable Handheld Fan, Mini 3 In 1 with Rechargeable Battery, Personal Pocket Fan for Travel, Outdoor, USB Power Bank, Flashlight, Essential Ideal Gifts for Men/Women/Family/Friends - White

Hands up everyone who bought one of those battery fans from a seaside shop back in the 70s and 80s. The ones with the two hard, white plastic blades that lay along the body of the fan, and were powered by a C-cell battery. When you turned the fan on, the blades shot out, and were so perilously sharp, that you could have probably used the fan to fend off a zombie attack. If you were on a two-week summer holiday, these fans would work perfectly for about 13 days, then make a loud squealing noise, before dying and never spinning again. Well, luckily, those devices are long gone, and we now have the utterly brilliant JISULIFE Portable Handheld Fan. In my opinion, this is about as close to perfection as is possible. The battery life is very good. I get 16 hours of use between charges. The fan can be used handheld, or as a table fan, which means it covers all the bases. There are two speeds, but even the lower speed is good enough for allowing you to hold the fan in your lap and get a refreshing breeze on your face. The fan is also beautifully quiet. You could easily use it in a library and not disturb anyone. Even if you can hear the fan, it makes a nice low-pitched sound. Not the frantic (oh-my-God, it's going to explode) noise you get with other products. The blades are a soft neoprene type material, incapable of cutting you, but they are backed up by a load-sensing motor, that turns off if something fouls the blades. The blades are well balanced, and there is no vibration at either speed, just a lovely, strong airflow. So as a fan, this device is top-drawer. But add in a bright, 60 lumen torch, and the ability to act as an emergency power bank, and I believe this is an absolute travel essential. The battery is a 2000mAh 18650, so I'd guess it would charge something like an iPhone to around 30%, but JISULIFE also make an endurance model, with over twice the battery capacity and run times. The fan motor is brushless according to JISULIFE, so hopefully the fan should be reliable for many years. Two things to be mindful of though. Firstly, open the case to fit the wrist lanyard. I used a loop of sewing thread, to pull the lanyard back through the second fixing hole. Secondly, make sure you have the neoprene blades folded all the way in when closing the case. It is easy to get them caught in the clamshell, and if you don't realise and apply pressure, you could damage, or even cut the soft fan blades.

Moves a surprising amount of air for how compact it is. And it's quiet (although not totally silent, wouldn't recommend in a library), feels sturdy and not like cheap lightweight plastic. The flashlight isn't a useless addition, it's quite bright and will probably come in handy at some point. Will be using this for the trains and buses in the summer, they get intolerably hot and I wanted something small enough that wouldn't compromise too much space in my bag, this is perfect.

As described, works well so far, has 2 speeds, quality seems good, not sure on battery life as not used for long yet.

Here’s a short and casual review for the JISULIFE Portable Handheld Fan:⸻💨 Small but Mighty!I love this fan! It’s compact but surprisingly powerful. The blades are exposed, but they’re made of soft silicone and automatically stop if they hit something (like my finger). It can sting a little, but not a big deal.The multipurpose base is super handy, and while the flashlight is a cool bonus, I don’t use it much in real life. Overall, great fan with thoughtful features—I use it all the time!

Great fan with added advantage of being a light and a power bank.

Look good and the fan works well, and is a nice size for travelling, but it’s difficult to open and also the torch isn’t easy to turn on.

Definitely recommend.As they keep me cool and has a light for emergencies.I was so impressed that I bought one for my friend.It is sturdy and as a very good battery life for the Summer months.

Good powerful fan for its size and having the torch incorporated is excellent - good value for the moneyHave only given four stars as it is very difficult to open
