Why we love this deal
Now that summer is wrapping up, it should hopefully cool off a bit, but as everyone knows, September always delivers a few truly sweltering days that seem to rival those during an intense heat wave in June or July. It’s normal to leave early in the morning, when the weather is cool and crisp only to be sweating suddenly during your morning or afternoon commute, doing your best to stay dry when the conditions around you feel anything but. For those instances, the FrSara Handheld Fan is the affordable, rechargeable solution to keep you feeling cool as a cucumber even when Mother Nature throws a truly hot day your way.
Already an affordable purchase at its original price of $10, the FrSara Handheld Fan is now 50% off for a limited time during an Amazon sale going on right now. For just $5 you can get the portable handheld with different speed controls and a smart display screen that’s easy enough to store in a briefcase, a purse, or a commuter bag.

Why do shoppers love it?
Measuring just 2.55 inches long, 1.96 inches wide, and 6.69 inches high, this fan doesn’t look too powerful, but looks are quite deceiving. Equipped with a three-speed system with stepless control, you can tailor the breeze from the fan to your exact liking, alternating between soft and strong airflows based on how hot and sweaty you are. The lowest speed provides a gentle cooling, the middle medium speed provides moderate airflow, and the highest speed gives off a strong, powerful breeze to keep you cool and dry no matter how hot the surrounding area is.
You can adjust your airflow on the LED display screen, which shows both the wind speed and the battery percentage at a quick glance. And because you can’t always use your hands to keep the air blowing directly at your face, the handheld converts to a neck fan or desk fan. You can fold it and drape it around your neck for hands free cooling or you can fold the base, making a stand for the fan on its own to keep it propped up.
Weighing only 5 ounces, the fan is compact and lightweight enough to throw in your bag and travel with it until you need it again. Although powerful, the fan’s blades are made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic, as is the rest of the device, and they won’t hurt if they do come into contact with your skin. You could use your finger to stop the blade and it wouldn’t irritate or injure you in any way.

Available in three colors, the fan operates with a rechargeable 2000 milliampere hour battery. It can run, on average, for about three to 16 hours, depending on what speed settings you’re using, before needing another charge.
