Under $25 Scores

Every summer I’ve lived in New York City, I’ve told myself I need to finally buy a portable fan. The heat and humidity here is no joke, and whenever I see other people using their neck fans on the subway platform or at the park on scorching days, I feel a ping of jealousy at their foresight. This time around, I’m patting myself on the back because I stocked up on all my summer essentials, including cooling products, before the high temps even hit.

I’m planning on having a fun next few months, which I’ll make as convenient as possible with items like an outdoor blanket, effective sunscreen and an easy-to-transport beach chair. But the product I’m most excited to continue putting to use by far is the Tedajo AI Portable Waist Fan. It’s completely hands-free, more powerful than I could’ve imagined and, best of all, less than $25.

Tedajo AI Portable Waist Fan

This small fan can either be worn around the neck via the included strap or clipped onto your belt or waistband. It has six fan speeds that deliver powerful airflow, and you can adjust the speed by pressing the power button, which is the only control on the device.
