Keep yourself cool and comfortable during your daily commute in the heatwave with this portable neck fan that’s ‘not noisy’ and is now on sale for just £24.99
The heatwave is making almost every day-to-day activity unbearable, but one area that offers almost no relief is your daily commute. Whether you’re packed on a hot train or crowded bus, or just have a lengthy walk to your office ahead, the lack of air con and jam-packed public transport means you’ll be hotter than ever.
But whilst most portable fans need you to hold them up constantly, if you want to keep your hands free then this Portable Neck Fan from Amazon is perfect. Usually priced at £29.99, it’s now on sale for £24.99 just in time for the heatwave to hit, and Amazon Prime members can get it delivered by tomorrow for free.

The Portable Neck Fan comes in both black and white, although the white version is more expensive at £26.99. Unlike handheld fans which need you to hold and point them at your face and neck at all times, this fan sits comfortably around the back of your neck and directs cooling air straight up around your head, face and neck.
It’s fully bladeless so you don’t need to worry about hair or jewellery getting caught up in it, and it has a left and right dual turbine design. The Portable Neck Fan has the option of six adjustable wind speeds that range from a light, gentle breeze up to a powerful airflow.
Unlike small handheld devices, this offers maximum cooling air to flow all around your face, head and neck at once with a 360° surround airflow. You will need to charge it for three to four hours before your first use, and both sides need to be charged up at the same time. However once fully charged, you’ll get between six and 20 hours of working time depending on which speed you have it set at.
If you’re looking for other options, at Superdrug you can snap up the Rechargeable Neck Fan for just £12 which has a smaller, slimmer design. You could also heat to Boots, where the Menopause & Me Wearable Neck Fan is £15.99 with the code OFFER20 saving you an extra 20%.
However Amazon’s Portable Neck Fan is a big hit with shoppers, who’ve granted it almost 300 five star ratings. One said: “Well worth the money…personally I absolutely love it…fit very well around my neck,the air flow is great,the noise for me is minimal compared with 3 other previous models from 3 different brands. So…definitely 5 stars.”
Another agreed: “What can I say about this neck fan other than it’s absolutely amazing. I work 4 hour shifts and I haven’t had to recharge it yet and it’s been four days. On another review it said it lasted a lady her 8hour shift on the second setting for two or three shifts which I absolutely believe . Best decision I’ve made on purchasing this fan.”
With a third adding: “FINALLY found the fan for me. Took 4 trys and this one is perfect. Feels great on the neck. Its not one solid hard unit. It moves, its soft and the speed of the fans is amazing and not noisy. Looks amazing. Weighs So light too. I wish I found this one at first. Absolutely recommend this neck fan. I can’t find one negative thing. Great for the price.”
Some found the design of the Portable Neck Fan a little less comfortable, though, saying: “The airflow and power is awesome. However, the unit itself is weighted, bulky, and uncomfortable.”
Another complained: “At first it was great but one of the fans came loose and didn’t operate correctly and made a lot of noise, had to send it back within 30 days.”
