What’s the best handheld mini fan?
哪款手持迷你风扇最好用？
It’s summer. You are sweaty. There’s some unprecedented heat wave that’s even worse than the last unprecedented heat wave. You are uncomfortable. You’re getting sweatier by the second. What do you do? This predicament — one that’s becoming more and more common — just flat out sucks. But if you have a handheld mini fan on you, the situation can change from “actively horrific” to “less than ideal.” In sweaty circumstances, that’s a miracle. 夏天到了，你汗流浃背。一场史无前例的热浪袭来，甚至比上一次还要严重。你感到浑身不适，而且汗水正一秒一秒地增加。你该怎么办？这种困境——正变得越来越普遍——简直糟糕透了。但如果你随身带着一把手持迷你风扇，情况就能从“极其糟糕”转变为“尚可接受”。在汗流浃背的情况下，这简直是个奇迹。
Over the last few summers, I’ve bought a handful of random mini fans on Amazon or TikTok Shop. While those $10 to $15 devices have become staples in my summer purse, I noticed that premium brands like Shark and Dyson were rolling out their own handheld fans at much higher price points ($100 to $150). As someone who suffers from the SSRI sweats — if you know, you know — I was curious whether these higher-end products are really that much better than the drop-shipped fans I’d bought in summers past. 在过去的几个夏天里，我在亚马逊或 TikTok Shop 上买过不少随手挑选的迷你风扇。虽然这些 10 到 15 美元的设备已经成了我夏季包里的必备品，但我注意到 Shark 和 Dyson 等高端品牌也推出了自己的手持风扇，价格要高得多（100 到 150 美元）。作为一个深受 SSRI（选择性 5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂）副作用导致多汗困扰的人——懂的都懂——我很好奇这些高端产品是否真的比我往年买的那些代发货风扇好那么多。
The verdict is: they’re all pretty good in their own way! But the best one for you depends on your budget, the size of your go-to summer bag (or pockets), and your tolerance for drawing attention to yourself with a large device blowing air in your face. 结论是：它们各有千秋，都很不错！但哪款最适合你，取决于你的预算、你常背的夏季包（或口袋）的大小，以及你是否介意拿着一个大设备对着脸吹风而引人注目。
Most powerful: Dyson HushJet ($99)
动力最强：Dyson HushJet（99 美元）
I wasn’t surprised to find that the Dyson HushJet is an exceptionally powerful mini fan — this company is best known for vacuums, air purifiers, and hair dryers. Dyson knows how to make stuff that blows air! But at about 7 inches tall, the HushJet is the tallest and heaviest device I tried. It will still fit in most purses, but it’s not pocketable. The HushJet comes with a travel bag, a charging/desktop stand, a neck lanyard, and a USB-C charger (all of these fans charge via USB-C — woohoo!). 发现 Dyson HushJet 是一款动力异常强劲的迷你风扇，我并不感到惊讶——这家公司以吸尘器、空气净化器和吹风机闻名。Dyson 很懂如何制造吹风设备！但 HushJet 高约 7 英寸，是我测试过最高、最重的设备。它虽然能塞进大多数手提包，但放不进口袋。HushJet 配有一个旅行袋、一个充电/桌面底座、一条挂绳和一个 USB-C 充电器（所有这些风扇都通过 USB-C 充电——太棒了！）。
If my desk weren’t directly below an air vent, I could see myself using this while I work, since it functions so well on a desktop. The neck lanyard looks a little dorky, and I imagined myself wearing it while pushing a stroller at Disney World. This is an odd image, since I don’t have children, but maybe the reason I envisioned a hot day out with kids is because the lanyard frees up your hands? Or, maybe it’s because if I had to give one of these devices to a kid and bet they wouldn’t break it, I’d say the Dyson is the most kid-proof? 如果我的办公桌不是正好在空调出风口下方，我完全可以在工作时使用它，因为它在桌面上的表现非常出色。挂绳看起来有点傻气，我甚至想象自己推着婴儿车在迪士尼乐园时戴着它。这画面有点奇怪，因为我并没有孩子，但也许我之所以设想带孩子出游的炎热天气，是因为挂绳能解放双手？又或者，如果我必须把其中一个设备给孩子玩，且赌他们不会弄坏，我会说 Dyson 是最耐造的？
Unfortunately, the lanyard doesn’t really help the fan blow air at you while you wear it — you still have to pick it up to direct it at your face. The HushJet is more powerful than any other mini fan I tried, but that power comes with some noise. Luckily, it has five different power settings, and the lower ones are quieter. 遗憾的是，挂绳并不能让风扇在佩戴时自动对着你吹——你仍然需要把它拿起来对准脸部。HushJet 比我测试过的任何其他迷你风扇动力都强，但这种动力也伴随着一些噪音。幸运的是，它有五种不同的档位，低档位时噪音较小。
Most versatile: Shark ChillPill ($149)
功能最全：Shark ChillPill（149 美元）
The Shark ChillPill is the most expensive fan of the bunch, but to be fair, it also does the most. The ChillPill comes with three attachments: a fan, a water mister, and a cooling plate that you touch to your wrist or temple to help you cool down. Like the Dyson HushJet, the ChillPill can sit up on its own for desktop use. It’s about 4 inches long and about double the width of the other options because of its dual-cylinder design. Shark ChillPill 是这几款中最贵的，但平心而论，它的功能也最丰富。ChillPill 配有三个附件：风扇头、喷雾器，以及一个可以贴在手腕或太阳穴上帮助降温的冷却板。和 Dyson HushJet 一样，ChillPill 可以独立站立在桌面上使用。它长约 4 英寸，由于采用了双筒设计，宽度大约是其他选项的两倍。
I chose to bring the ChillPill with me to a softball tournament, since I knew I’d already be sweaty enough that a mister would benefit me without making me look unnecessarily damp. You just have to pour a tiny bit of water into the attachment and it works great. The cooling plate is interesting, but I personally found the fan more immediately effective — plus, it has ten speeds! 我选择带着 ChillPill 去参加垒球比赛，因为我知道自己肯定会出汗，喷雾功能既能帮我降温，又不会让我看起来湿得过分。你只需要往附件里倒一点点水，它就能很好地工作。冷却板很有趣，但我个人觉得风扇的效果更直接——而且它有十个档位！
I might be more inspired to bring the ChillPill with me in my bag if it came with a case for all of its accessories — I wasn’t really sure what to do with the extra little components. I mostly used the ChillPill with its fan attachment, but I was impressed by the product design when it comes to changing out attachments. There’s a locking mechanism, which you toggle when you want to remove or add a new attachment. It feels secure enough that it would be pretty difficult for an attachment to accidentally fall off. 如果 ChillPill 能配一个收纳所有配件的盒子，我可能会更有动力把它装进包里——我实在不知道该怎么处理那些多余的小零件。我大部分时间只用它的风扇附件，但它更换附件的产品设计让我印象深刻。它有一个锁定装置，当你想要拆卸或安装新附件时拨动它即可。它感觉非常稳固，附件很难意外脱落。
Good enough: JISULIFE 3-in-1 Portable Fan ($13)
够用就好：JISULIFE 三合一便携风扇（13 美元）
The JISULIFE 3-in-1 Portable Fan was the first mini fan I ever bought, and it’s served me well for the last three years — it still works just as good as new. I’ve taken it on vacations without AC and found it endlessly valuable. It has a flashlight, though not one that’s any better than your phone flashlight, and a USB plug-in to charge your phone. Of all the fans I tested, the JISULIFE is the weakest (though still decent), and it can be kind of annoying to flip open. JISULIFE 三合一便携风扇是我买的第一款迷你风扇，过去三年里它一直表现良好——现在用起来依然像新的一样。我曾带着它去没有空调的地方度假，发现它价值连城。它有一个手电筒（虽然并不比手机自带的好用），还有一个可以给手机充电的 USB 接口。在我测试的所有风扇中，JISULIFE 的动力是最弱的（尽管依然不错），而且翻开它有时会让人觉得有点烦。
Then again, it has little bear ears on it. Does Dyson randomly put little bear ears on its fans? I didn’t think so. This product isn’t going to knock your socks off. The charging is slow, yet effective. The fan is fine. The light is kind of dim. But it gets the job done well enough that it’s accompanied me on a few “glamping” trips and a trip to Paris during a heat wave. 话又说回来，它上面有小熊耳朵。Dyson 会在风扇上随意加小熊耳朵吗？我觉得不会。这款产品不会让你惊艳。充电很慢，但有效。风扇还行。灯光有点暗。但它完成任务的能力足够好，曾陪我参加过几次“豪华露营”，还陪我度过了巴黎的热浪期。
Best overall: This random fan from Amazon ($15)
综合最佳：亚马逊上随手买的这款风扇（15 美元）
While over $250 worth of review unit mini fans sat at home, I couldn’t stop reaching for this random MACMORE fan from… 当价值超过 250 美元的评测用迷你风扇闲置在家时，我却总是忍不住去拿这款来自……的 MACMORE 随机风扇。
