John Lewis has overjoyed fans after restocking its budget £12 fan that can be taken almost anywhere. The budget £12 John Lewis fan has been hailed a 'game changer' by those who have tried it, and has impressed shoppers with how powerful it is in the heat.
Surprisingly powerful for its compact size, the £12 Handheld and Foldable Desk Fan comes in four colours. Sage has already sold out, but customers can still snap it up in white, orange or navy.
The rechargeable fan is four inches long and features three speed settings. Praised for being quiet and multifunctional, its handle cleverly incorporates a fold-out stand, so it can be set on your desk or table, too.

Once fully charged - which only takes five hours - the fan will operate for approximately nine hours on low speed, six hours on medium speed and four hours on high speed. If you need to travel it's also the ideal companion for the commute, easily slipping into a bag to be used on-the-go.
The affordable cooling device includes a rechargeable battery and charging cable which plugs into a standard USB port, making it the perfect companion for a laptop if you're spending a lot of time in the home office. One woman even places hers on her bedside table, which is a great idea if you’re going through the menopause and battling hot flushes.
Shoppers have given the fan near-perfect reviews, with a 4.9 star rating out of more than 330 testimonials. They’ve said they’re almost too good to share, but couldn’t help but heap praise on the mini fans.
One said: “I'm so pleased they've brought these fans back. They are incredible, not too loud and deliver a great breeze even on the lowest level. I bought a load for my family as they were impressed with mine and thankfully I can purchase another one for my office.”
Another added: “I don't really want to say how good these fans are because I don't want them to sell out yet again. I have 4 of these fans but gave one as a gift. I think they are amazing! For such a tiny fan they are brilliant. I have one on the bedside cabinet as I have sweats at night. Perfect for this purpose. It has 3 speeds and is very quiet. I want to stock up, as never want to be without one.”
A third commented: “First bought one of these 2 years ago - have since bought 2 more (placed in different rooms for my menopausal moments !!) and also gifted a few. Such a brilliant little fan - lovely cool breeze on even the lowest setting & love the fact you can fold & tilt it. Buy one quickly as they always sell fast.”
Of the negative reviews, there’s a solo one star review, and one three star rating, which said: “Bit chunkier and heavier than other handheld fans and also not as powerful. Only 3 settings with the strongest being fairly weak.”
The foldable fan is one of the cheapest we found with such high praise, with the Amazon option coming in at just under £19, while this £6 version from Wickes only carries one review - and it’s three stars.
If you’re looking to beat the heat this summer and be the envy of all those who are complaining it’s ‘too hot’, then you can shop the John Lewis £12 fan here.
