Sorry to say no to those cute sandals you’ve had your eye on, but the next must-have summer item you should buy is a portable fan. These handheld gadgets are lifesavers on those hot summer days that force you to spend time outdoors, and they’ve only gotten more sophisticated in recent years.
A look at Amazon’s Movers and Shakers chart this week shows that shoppers are buying fans of all kinds as July approaches, with neck and misting fans ranking as the most trending items. While some are still battery-powered (a great idea for taking them camping), most can be charged with a USB cable, and some can even double as power banks.
We’ve rounded up the best-selling portable fans on Amazon right now, most of which are under $20, so you can find your own custom air conditioning unit.
