For buyers with deepers pockets, Amazon also sells the Jisulife Portable Handheld Fan (£65.99) that offers up to five hours of cooling and doubles as a portable charger. More expensive than some other models, buyers say it is “worth the premium price” thanks to its power and long battery life.

A third agreed, saying: “This is honestly the most amazing thing I think I’ve ever purchased. I didnt think having a fan just on your head/face would make such a difference but it really does.”
