Portable fans are one of the easiest ways to stay cool during the summer, and you don’t have to spend much to find a decent one. If you’re looking for something more versatile, though, Shark’s ChillPill Personal Fan and Cooling System combines a rechargeable fan with a dry-touch evaporative mister in a design that can be worn, clipped, or used on a tabletop. Right now, it’s on sale for $99.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, matching its all-time low. If you’re a Costco member, you can get it for the same price with a free clip, crossbody strap, and InstaChill Cooling Plate which you can press against your neck or wrists for quick relief.
Shark ChillPill Personal Fan and Cooling System
Where to Buy:
Unlike a standard handheld fan, the two-in-one device is designed so that you can wear it or twist it into tabletop mode, making it useful whether you’re commuting, waiting in line at a theme park, working out, or just trying to stay cool at your desk. You can even clip it to a purse or stroller, so it’s always within easy reach while you’re on the go. It also offers 10 fan speeds and matching noise levels, allowing you to choose anything from a quiet breeze for indoor use to stronger cooling outdoors.
When a fan alone isn’t enough, you can switch on the dry-touch evaporative mist, which cools your skin without leaving your clothes soaked. You can also choose between continuous and interval misting depending on how long you want the water to last. Plus, Shark says the ChillPill can run for up to 11 hours on its lowest setting, which should be enough to get through a full day at a festival or while traveling. When it’s time to recharge, the device uses USB-C, so you can likely use the same cable you’re already carrying for your phone, tablet, or laptop.
