Fan for keeping cool at night

I have had numerous small fans over the years.

I currently use this fan from Muji

Don't let the size fool you. It's very powerful. If you put in on the night stand next to the bed, it will cool you off enough to get some sleep. It's battery operated and recharged via USB. It can also be used while plugged in.

I actually bought mine at a Muji store in Berlin.

Someone on the forum recommended this one which I just purchased. Pleasantly surprised at h ow much air it moves (3 speeds). It has a rechargeable battery or you can run it using the cord.

I have the one that Frank has. I like it because you can hold it in your hand straight up, but it also bends, so you can lay it flat on a table or desk or bedside table and angle the fan at the right spot to reach you.

But both those others look good !

I have a small handheld fan that doubles as a charger. It works great for instances like sitting on a hot airplane waiting for take off. I am not sure if it is big enough or powerful enough to cool you in the night.

One of my old companies got a bunch of small fans, with the company logo prominent, as conference marketing giveaways. They were great! Powered by USB; you could plug them into your laptop and clip them onto the screen. I wish I'd held onto the one I filched from the marketing department closet ...

I’ve tried to order the Muji handheld fan that Frank listed, but either not available or not available for me in the US. I like how small it is and can be handheld or folded on a nightstand. Does anyone have an alternative they like similar to this? Thanks!

I have a small USB fan that works reasonably well, and it's small enough to pack for travel. There are lots of "travel fans" online, and this site may provide some ideas - https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-products/best-portable-fans .

The fan that Cerastez mentions above is on sale today for Amazon prime for about $13. I actually decided to buy it more for white noise and Amazon delivered it a few hours later

It’s pretty quiet, so I’m not sure how it’s going to work as a White Noise source but it does seem to put out a good amount of air and it also has a flashlight feature, which is nice. Just thought I’d mention it in case people were still looking.

We have both of the ones recommended by Katheryne and Cerastez.
The one that Katheryne mentions is also on sale on Amazon today and I might order another one since I cannot travel without it!
It's great for white noise and air.

The pink one is better for use out and about IMHO.

I’ve used this fan at home when power is out. It’s small but powerful with 3 speeds. It runs only on a charge; no batteries or power cord. It’s adjustable as well. I’ve taken it to Europe once, but didn’t need to use it. It will run all night on at least the lowest speed (I tested it during an outage with Hurricane Milton). Just enough white noise for me.

I've been using a waist fan like this one
It's meant to be worn around your waist, but it does also have a desktop stand mode which is handy, and I use it all the time when indoors. It's super powerful for such a small device, but the best part is the massive battery that easily lasts 16-20 hours ( I only need to charge it once every 3-4 days). hope that helps!
