Summer is over (or not, depending on how you look at it), but temperatures are still on the rise across the country. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and this week is expected to be the hottest of the year with temps rising over 90 degrees. One simple and inexpensive way to beat the sweltering heat is to get yourself a portable fan. Amazon is currently offering the Lerat Rechargeable Portable Turbo Fan for just $5.99 after you apply coupon code “4T9KD4NQ“. You don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member to get this deal.

The Lerat portable fan is light; at 7.4 ounces it’s roughly half the weight of a neck fan. It’s small enough to stow away in a bag, but a lanyard is also included so you can loop it around your neck when need it at a moment’s notice. The 14,550rpm fan has five different speed settings, with the highest setting producing quite a bit of airflow (8ms/s) at the expense of some noise. You can either use it on the move while holding it or you can set it down and angle it towards you thanks to numerous adjustment options. The 4,000mAh battery lasts up to 12 hours and it can be recharged with a USB-C cable.
A portable fan has plenty of practical uses, especially if you’re going somewhere hot and humid (like Disney World Orlando in the summer). For gamers, it makes a lot of sense because your room can get pretty toasty on a hot day, especially with your gaming console or PC working overtime and exhausting tons of hot air. Additionally, if you’re like me and you get sweaty whenever you wear a gaming headset, a little fan pointed at your head could be the solution for that too.
