Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan vs Shark ChillPill – I’ve tried both this summer, and this is the one I'd buy again to keep cool on the go

Having experienced one of the hottest summers on record, it's no wonder that we're all looking for ways to ensure our comfort levels wherever we are.

While many of the best fans have sold out due to unprecedented demand, two huge names in the world of appliances like this — Shark and Dyson — have both released handheld fans this summer. The Shark ChillPill came out first, offering a 3-in-1 cooling solution, while the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan came slightly later, offering the most powerful airflow I've ever experienced in a handheld device.
