I've tested some excellent portable fans this year, with premium looks and price tags, but do you really need to spend over £100 to stay cool this summer? To find out, I picked out a collection of five fans at different price points, from £16 through to £130, to see whether paying extra really makes a difference.
I tested and rated each fan based on perceived power, volume, design, and value. All five models are around the same size, and are rechargeable via USB. Only one (the Shark ChillPill) has a battery you can replace yourself; the rest are all sealed units.
