Apologies for that cute pair of sandals you’ve been eyeing, but a portable fan is a summer staple. These handheld devices are a lifesaver for those days you have to spend outside in the summer heat, and they’ve become sophisticated in recent years.
A look at Amazon’s Movers and Shakers rankings this week shows shoppers snapping up all kinds of them as we head into July, with neck fans and diffusers ranking among the trendiest picks. Some still run on batteries — the best idea if you’re camping with a battery — but most charge via USB cable, and some can even double as a power bank.
We’ve rounded up the portable fans that are hot on Amazon right now, most of them under $20, so you can find your own personal air conditioning unit.
