- Dyson has launched a new personal fan to use at home or on the move

Dyson has just launched a new personal fan that you can place on your desk while you work, carry on public transport, or even wear around your neck. The Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan has a compact bladeless design and five airflow modes — plus a boost button when you need relief from the heat fast.
It can run for up to six hours on a single charge, and weighs 7oz/212g. It comes supplied with a Neck Dock for moments when you want to stay cool hands-free, as well as a charging stand, travel pouch, and USB-C charging cable. Other accessories available to buy separately include a Universal Mount for securing the fan to objects like pushchairs or gym equipment, and a Clip Grip for fastening it on bag straps or jackets (particularly helpful for commuting).
The HushJet Mini Cool Fan comes in three colorways: Ink/Cobalt, Carnelian/Sky, and Stone/Blush, so you can pick one that will suit your wardrobe.
The new fan looks striking, but it should sound discreet thanks to the HushJet nozzle, which lowers frequencies so you're not distracted by annoying high-pitched whirring and whining.
This looks set to be a particularly cool summer, because the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan has arrived just a few weeks after the Shark ChillPill — another compact fan with a rechargable battery that's designed to be used indoors or on the move, but which also features a misting attachment that sprays you with quick-drying water vapor, plus a cooling plate that you can apply to pulse points for fast relief on hot days.
The HushJet Mini Cool Fan lacks these two extra features, but it's both lighter and more affordable. The Shark ChillPill is $149.99 / £129.99, whereas the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan is $99 / £99.99.
The HushJet Mini Cool Fan will be available to buy later this month, direct from Dyson's website and from Dyson demo stores in the UK and US. Aussies will have to wait a little to find out local pricing and availability, although it's confirmed to be coming Down Under — you can head to the Dyson Australia website to be notified as soon as it drops.
I'll be putting it to the test soon to see how it compares to the ChillPill in terms of cooling power, noise, and convenience, and I'll bring you a full review once I've put it through its paces.
