This £14.99 handheld fan is ‘the most powerful’ we’ve tested

With much of the UK sweltering through another heatwave, staying cool has become less of a luxury and more of a daily necessity. Whether you're battling a stuffy commute, trying to work from home in soaring temperatures or simply attempting (and failing) to sleep through warm nights, finding ways to keep cool is top of many people's to-do lists.

While portable air conditioners can make a huge difference, they can be expensive, and many are selling out as there’s a rush to stay cool. Handheld fans, on the other hand, offer a much cheaper and more convenient way to beat the heat. Plus, they’re totally portable and can accompany you on your commute or just on a morning walk.

The IndyBest team has tested many handheld fans over the years, and while many promise powerful cooling, few actually deliver. But one that stood out to our senior tech critic, Alex Lee, was the Commem turbo fan. And the best part? It’s only £14.99 at Amazon, so you don’t need to break the bank to stay cool.
