EVERYONE is digging out the fans and their best cooling hacks as the weather heats up again.
There are so and to choose from, but they don’t come cheap.
So when I spotted a bargain fan with a twist I thought I might be onto a winner.
I’d also seen a load of these types of devices all over , with people saying how good they are.
The product in question is a handheld water mist spray fan.
What a great idea! A cool water mist blowing straight to my face on a hot summer’s day, I believed.
And at £8, I really thought I couldn’t go wrong.
Alas, I was very mistaken.
This device is not the cooling solution I had hoped for one bit.
Firstly, the mist was not very misty at all.
It was more like the spray bottle I use for watering my plants, leaving my face pretty drenched – just the thing I was trying to avoid.
Secondly, the fan is really quite weak – I’ve had far better handheld fans over the years.
And finally, at this size it’s not very portable either.
So, it’s back to the traditional fans I go.
Maybe this particular model I bought was no good but I’m not convinced by the concept at all now and would urge others to avoid and try something else.
