2026 is shaping up to be the year of the handheld, portable fan, with many brands developing their own high-tech models. Unsurprisingly, two strong contenders have emerged within this space – Dyson and Shark – and they’re battling it out yet again for the crown of best handheld fan.
This year, Dyson and Shark have both debuted their own handheld fans – the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool and the Shark ChillPill. Both have similar features and functionalities, and with the summer weather ramping up, we’re sure to see both fans in action during the next few months.
