13 Best-Selling Handheld Fans to Help You Beat the Heat

While many of us are fond of relaxing in front of the AC, handheld fans are a more convenient way to escape the summer heat while you’re on the go. Old-school paper fans are fun and stylish, but for brutally hot days when a flick of the wrist won’t do it, an electric handheld fan can take cooling off to the next level. Handheld fans put the power of your favorite box fan in your pocket and are optimized for carrying around since they’re cordless and powered by battery or USB. Some fans even include extra features, like a built-in water mister for extra refreshment or a flexible stroller attachment that can actually make your fan hands-free.

A powerful handheld fan can serve as welcome relief from humidity now that many of us are spending more time in the sun. To help speed up your cool-down process this season, we’ve pulled together some of the best-selling handheld fans shoppers have given gold stars, from brands like Brookstone and the MoMa Design Store.
