These Are the Best Portable Fans to Cool You Down During Any Occasion

Best Overall

This adorable mini fan blows cold air thanks to the water-based cooling system. Add some H20 in the tank and feel a nice cool breeze in the hottest places in just seconds.

Best for Biking

A rechargeable neck fan is just what you need for your outdoor bike ride. We love that we don’t have to worry about hair getting caught because of the bladeless design. The air slits along the device wrap around to reach your full head and neck for an optimized cooling experience.

Most Lightweight

This small one weighs a mere two ounces and comes in at about one inch thick and nearly five inches tall to easily slide in your pocket or bag. It has a small but mighty motor to give you powerful airflow and has adjustable speed settings based on what you need. Whether you’re waiting in line at the non-air-conditioned DMV or are at a picnic in the park with friends, this little guy will chase away any sight of sweating.

Best for Strollers

Wrap the flexible tripod onto your baby’s stroller bar to ensure extra coolness while they’re tucked in their seat. Either pop in some batteries or charge it with its USB cord to get up to 15 hours of power. And don’t worry, your kiddos won’t be able to slide their little fingers in the slots.

Best Misting Fan

Fill this one up with some water to spritz on you for the extra hot days when a fan just isn’t cutting it. It’s battery powered and super lightweight so it’s easy to hold and transport. If you’re wanting even more of a chill, add some ice to the bottle to keep the water cold.

Best for Running

We love this one for running because it's only four ounces, has two speeds and slips easily in and out of your legging pockets whenever you need a quick break. Charge this one with its USB cord and if you’re walking, slip the safety strap around your wrist for easier access.

Best Foldable Fan

This portable fan has a handle that can fold into a stand and can reach up to three feet of air circulation. It would best suit someone who gets hot easily and needs optimal airflow. The foldable handle makes it great for desks, kitchen counters, coffee tables and more.

Best for Air Circulation

Coming in at only seven inches, this tiny fan has a strong, adjustable three-speed motor that helps circulate the airflow in small rooms. Put this in a dorm room, office or any other small space to help cool it down and eliminate the mugginess. Plug it in at the nearest outlet and feel the results in minutes.

Best for the Office

Clip this fan onto your desk and adjust it however you like to cool you off for hours thanks to the rechargeable battery. This one can hang onto the side of your desk by the clip or sit flat on its non-stick mat. The fan has 360-degree vertical rotation and weighs only about ten ounces.
