This past weekend has been a scorcher in many parts of the UK, and the balmy weather looks set to continue. If you're in the market for one of the best fans to help you beat the heat, I have some suggestions for you. I spent two years writing about fans for TechRadar, and this year's crop of air-movers is especially strong. There are plenty of innovative designs to explore, alongside tried-and-tested options if you'd prefer to stick with what you know.
On the mini-fan front, two new-to-the-market options are the Shark ChillPill and HushJet Mini Cool. The ChillPill looks like a pair of binoculars, with different heads to switch between a fan, mister, and ultra-refreshing cooling plate. The Mini Cool is Dyson's compact cooling option, shrinking down the brand's fan expertise into a handheld form that can be slung around your neck on hot days.
