In terms of simple luxuries, few things are better than a portable hand fan. While there are too many options on the market, reviewers are particularly drawn to this folding, rechargeable “turbo” fan from Diveblues. Deemed a “lifesaver” during warm days, you can hold it, wear it around your neck or rest it on a nightstand, desk or table to enjoy quiet, cool air wherever you are. And today, you can snag it in black for nearly 30% off! Users say this baby is small but mighty that “makes a hot day more tolerable,” and has quickly become their favorite gadget for staying cool during hot days — perfect for a week like this one.
“With five speed settings, I can easily adjust the airflow to suit my needs, whether I want a gentle breeze or a strong gust,” one reviewer writes. “It’s perfect for everything from outdoor activities to keeping cool at home.”
Made with six blades and a high-power brushless motor, the brand says this fan moves three times faster than traditional models. While that may sound too good to be true, reviewers seem to back it up. Some say the power rivals “larger fans” and blasts cool enough to “dry the sweat from your face.” One reviewer even says “it’s like an air conditioner” in 95-degree weather.
“This is the best handheld fan I have ever seen,” one said. “The amount of air that this fan puts out is amazing.” One user said she purchased three different fans for a trip to Florida, and this one reigned supreme. Another said she’s now purchased nine (that’s right — NINE) of these fans.
Yet, the most compelling argument may be made by user David Tindell, who wrote, “I almost fought an airport security guard over this!” after using the fan every day on a trip to Egypt.
“Lightweight and compact, the fan fits comfortably in my hand and easily slips into my bag,” another user wrote. “Its sleek design adds a touch of style to my summer essentials, making it not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing.”
The other selling point is the long-lasting battery, which the brand says lasts up to 12 hours but reviewers say has lasted them days on a single charge. “It keeps a charge forever,” a reviewer wrote. “I have it in my purse at all times so it’s ready when I get those hot flashes.”
It’s certainly not a silent fan, with users saying it can get a little loud, especially at the higher speeds. Though most agree the cooling power makes the noise worth it. One user said they’ll even use it as a sort of “white noise machine” while the family is on vacation.
Users particularly like the simplicity of the fan, with one button for on/off and five adjustable speeds. Weighing less than half a pound, it’s easy to bring in a bag or purse and comes with a lanyard if you want to rock it around your neck. Or, fold it back and leave it on a table or desk for cooling air as you’re seated.

“This little turbo fan is excellent for me, as I have hot flashes once in a while, and also just walking around in hot weather, or being in a crowd. I can use it hand held or hang it around my neck with the lanyard provided. And it has a very powerful 5 settings which lasts 3 hours at the lowest setting and 10 to 11 hours at the highest. USB charge is also very convenient.” — Richard F.
“This is definitely a 10 out of 10!!!! The power it has is insane. There are 5 settings and yes the higher you go the louder you go. I live in California and the summer can go as high as 110* so a little noise is no problem since the motor is unreal!! I received it today and I hope the battery life is a long one. I will try it out at the Orange County fair. I highly recommend this fan!!!” — Alina M Baldeon
“Excellent rechargeable personal fan. We bought both this DiveBlues JetForce fan and the Jisulife fan. Much more powerful and lasts longer than typical non-rechargeable battery personal fans. The Jetforce fan’s head tilts and there is a speed level indicator, 2 features missing from the Jisulife fan. This fan is also more powerful and focused than the Jisulife fan, but also noisier. The Jisulife fan is more diffused, quieter, and has a longer advertised battery life (both are rechargeable), 15.5 hours compared to 11 hours. We ended up keeping both.” — C L Smith
“This is a great fan. I run hot all the time and I have other fans but they are lightweight. This thing cools me down in like two minutes and it comes fully charged. I have not moved from the first notch on the charge yet so it’s a long lasting batteries. Less time charging. I take it everywhere. There is a whining to it because of the strength but if you move it to your wrist or closer to your body you don’t hear it that much. It is a little heavier, but that’s fine. You’re gonna get way more power. I highly recommend it. I’ve recommended to my friends. I said get this fan cause if it’s a hot place you going you’re gonna want this with you..you could put it around your neck or you can bend it and put it on the table if you’re at a restaurant. I followed the review of this lady who did a video on this fan under the reviews and I believed her and she was right. I wish it came with a protective bag but I will find something to put it in so dust from my pocketbook does not dust it up! Oh it has 5 speeds but it’s so powerful I hv only used the lowest speed..” — Lula Brownine
Are you a hot sleeper? Check out these products that’ll cool you down at bedtime.
These cooling sheets that reviewers say are "so much better" than Brooklinen
This Bedsure cooling sheet set made from rayon derived from bamboo is a dream for hot sleepers, with the material's moisture-wicking and thermoregulating abilities. One reviewer even called them "so much better" than sheets from more expensive brands like Brooklinen and Cozy Earth. The set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet you can fit on mattresses up to 16 inches deep and two pillowcases with an envelope closure to help them stay securely in place. Choose from a ton of solid colors and sizes twin to California king.
Promising review: "I have a medical condition that makes my skin VERY sensitive to fabrics and I am a hot sleeper. I can't tell you the number of sheets I buy in a year that I have to return because I feel like my skin is on fire when I lay on them.
These sheets are heaven sent!!! I will never buy any others. They are so soft, very comfortable and keep me cool all night long. They wash very nicely but tend to wrinkle if you don't get them out of the dryer right away. But once I stretch them out on the bed the wrinkles tend to go away. The quality of the fabric is exceptional and not cheaply made. They are a great value for the money as I have spent way more for way less quality. I would highly recommend!!" — bobsbaby406
A double-sided cooling blanket
This double-sided blanket uses Japanese Arc-Chill technology to absorb body heat to keep sleepers cool throughout the night. It comes in several colors, including beige, blue, dark gray, green and pink and from sizes 51 inches by 67 inches to 90 inches by 108 inches.
Promising review: "My girlfriend is a werewolf, and she radiates heat like a nuclear reactor. She sleeps with a very small cheap anime throw blanket, the central a/c at 60, and a fan full blast that could make a tornado change direction - and yet she is still hot. Then I got her this blanket and today I woke up with the fan at only half power and I could actually feel my face, she sleeps so soundly and comfortably and doesn’t heat up as much. The silky side retains a pretty constant cool feeling throughout the night and just feels really great. Overall, If you’re a hot sleeper, this is the one. Highly recommend." — Emil Novoa
A cooling mattress topper reviewers say also helps with back pain
Solve two problems in one with this cooling mattress topper that, according to reviews, both keeps hot sleepers cool through the night and "eliminated back pain" for one shopper. The topper comes in eight colors and sizes twin to California king. The embossed topper has a three-zone design to regulate temperature and provide support. The deep pocket stretches up to 21 inches.
Promising review: "We purchased a new bed and really like the support and pretty much everything else. After a week of actually sleeping on it we realized how hot it was and kept waking us up during the night. I started looking at different toppers but was hesitant because of how much we had already spent on the mattress. On one of these nights, I sat up grabbed my phone and got on Amazon. I spent about 30 minutes reviewing comments and prices before purchasing this one. It has been 3 nights of awesome sleep! My husband and I both have said, it's a game changer. We still have the support of the memory foam but not the heat.No more waking up sweating, it's soft and the price point is perfect!" — Me llamo
