Date tested: June 2026. We're not able to show every retailer, and cheaper prices may be available.
Quietness is measured in decibels at the highest and lowest settings, and assessed by the quality of the noise produced.
Wind speed range is based on the difference between the measured wind speeds at the highest and lowest settings.
Battery life is based on stated battery life on a full charge and how long it runs off a five-minute charge on its highest setting.
Pleasant breeze rating is based on a blindfolded panel's assessment of the fans' low, medium and high settings.
Best Buy: JisuLife Pro1S (2025)
We like: Wide range of wind speeds, excellent battery life, very simple to use, durable
Watch out for: Pricier than some others we've tested, loud on higher speed settings, a bit heavy to hold for longer periods
This hand fan has a whopping 100 speed settings to choose from, so you can tune it to your ideal airflow with ease.
It also has a two-button turn-on mechanism to prevent it from accidentally turning on in your bag. Battery life is particularly impressive.

EasyAcc Handheld Fan
We like: Excellent durability, easy to use, medium speed setting produces a pleasant breeze
Watch out for: Very wobbly in desktop mode, poor runtime from a five-minute charge, emits an annoying whirring noise even on low speeds
This lower-priced hand fan can also be used as a desk fan, but it's not the most stable in this mode. It has three speed settings – our tests found the lowest setting too weak, although the medium setting was pleasant.
The fan's main drawback is its sound. It's relatively loud, producing an annoying whirring that quickly becomes irritating.

Our expert says
Sam Morris, Which? handheld fans expert
'When we review handheld fans, we assess far more than just the breeze they produce. We put each fan through a range of tests, measuring everything from noise levels to battery life, including how much use you can get from just a five-minute charge.
'The JisuLife fan excelled in our tests, impressing us with its exceptional range of wind speeds and outstanding battery life. It’s more expensive than many of the other fans we’ve tested, but given its overall performance and quality, we think it’s worth the investment.
'At the other end of the scale, the EasyAcc fan is a more affordable option, but it fell short in several key areas of our testing.
'As well as uncovering the JisuLife fan as a Best Buy, our tests also identified two more fans that are cheap enough to earn our Great Value recommendation. Head to the best handheld fans for the full results.'
