Handheld Fan vs. Power Bank: Why This 2-in-1 Foldable Version (5200mAh) Wins

Hiking in a 38°C national park, the fan stopped after half an hour; commuting on the subway, my phone was down to 5% but I couldn't find a power bank; I wanted to bring my fan to Starbucks but it was bulky and took up too much space—these common summer pain points have finally been completely solved with this handheld fan. Not only does it fold 180° to fit in a handbag, and with four speed settings for everything from the library to the outdoors, it also boasts a large 5200mAh battery, making it both a cooling fan and a power bank. At 297g, it's easy to hold in one hand for extended periods. If you're looking for a summer travel experience with less gear and more peace of mind, this real-life experience will explain why it's become my 2025 must-have.

180° Foldable Design + 297g Lightweight: So Portable You'll Forget It's in Your Bag

The 180° foldable design and 297g weight completely dispel the stereotype that "portable fans equal weak power":
 **Convenient Design**: Measuring 10.5*3.8*21.6cm, it folds down even smaller, easily fitting into the side pocket of a canvas bag or a handbag. It's also a 10-second pick-up at security.
 **Handheld Experience**: The curved handle fits snugly in your palm, allowing you to hold it one-handed for an hour while shopping at the supermarket without any strain. It's much easier than the 350g handheld fan I used before.
 **Switching Mode**: It unfolds from folded to a desktop fan in just 1 second. During lunch breaks, you can place it on your desk, facing the keyboard, and it's incredibly stable without needing to use anything heavy to secure it.

For those who commute daily between the subway, the office, and the outdoors, "lightweight and compact" aren't just advantages; they're prerequisites for actually carrying it with you.

4 Speed ​​Levels: From "Quiet Breeze" to "Powerful Cooling" for All-Scene Adaptability

The 4 speed levels may seem simple, but they accurately cover 90% of summer cooling needs while also being quiet:
 **Gentle Breeze**: Use level 1 when rushing to a deadline in the library. The breeze is so gentle it's like the sound of turning pages, and my neighbor won't even notice I'm using the fan.
 **Comfortable Wind**: Use level 2 for video conferences in the office. The wind is just strong enough to cool my face and keyboard, and the other person can't hear any background noise.
 **Strong Wind**: Use level 3 for outdoor picnics. The 360-degree airflow covers the picnic mat, quickly dissipating heat around the food, making it even cooler than in the shade.
 **Hurricane Mode**: After hiking or exercising in temperatures above 35°C, use level 4 to dry sweat stains on your T-shirt in 10 minutes. The wind speed is comparable to a small desk fan.

Simply press the power button to switch speeds, making it easy to operate even without manual intervention, making it easy for both adults and children to use.

Large 5200mAh Battery: 12-Hour Cooling + Emergency Charging for Double Peace of Mind

The 5200mAh capacity elevates it from an "ordinary fan" to a "summer emergency tool." Its battery life and charging performance are impressive:
 **Pure Fan Mode**: 12 hours of use in Level 1 (perfect for a commute from 8 AM to 8 PM), 8 hours in Level 2, 5 hours in Level 3, and 3 hours in Level 4;
 **Power Bank Mode**:It can charge both an iPhone 15 and wireless earbuds, effectively a dual-port power bank. It came in handy for a friend while camping;
 **Fast Charging Advantage**: Plug it in by your bed before leaving home in the morning, and it'll still be fully charged when you get home from get off work. A full charge in 4.5 hours means no more late-night charging.

No more worrying about a sudden fan stop or your phone shutting off, leaving you missing important messages. This is the security your portable device deserves.

Dual-Port Power Bank: Emergency Charging Without Cables

The most thoughtful design is its built-in Type-C and USB-A dual-port design, completely eliminating the awkward situation of "bringing a power bank but forgetting the cable":
 **Type-C Port**: Directly charges Android phones, tablets, and wireless headphones without the need for additional cables, allowing you to charge them in your pocket while commuting;
 **USB-A Port**: Compatible with iPhone charging cables (you'll need to bring your own), or can power small LED lights and action cameras, making it extremely practical for camping;
 **Safety Protection**: Supports overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection, ensuring your phone stays cool while charging. It's much more reliable than cheap emergency power banks.

I used it to charge my phone to 40% at a music festival last time without leaving the audience area, completely eliminating the hassle of finding a charging outlet.

Quiet Motor + Optimized Airflow: So quiet it feels like it's not on.

For those who rely on quiet environments, its quietness far exceeds expectations:
 **Measured Noise**: Speeds 1-2 are below 35dB, quieter than an air conditioner vent; speeds 3-4 are only 42dB, about the volume of a quiet conversation.
 **Office Use**: Working in a cubicle at speed 2, my colleague next door was completely oblivious to my fan being on while on the phone.
 **Nighttime Use**: Camping in a tent at speed 1, the wind and the chirping of insects blend seamlessly into the air without disturbing sleep, making it far more comfortable than the hum of traditional handheld fans.

This "cooling without disturbing" experience makes it easily adaptable to various environments, including libraries, offices, and bedrooms.

Multi-Scenario Real-World Test: An "All-Rounder" from Commuting to Camping

After two months of use, these scenarios have made me completely dependent on it:
 **Commuters**: I use it handheld in the subway at setting 2, completely eliminating the stuffiness inside my mask, and it can also be used as an emergency charger when my phone runs out of battery – two things in one!
 **Campers**: Fold it up and hang it on my backpack, use setting 3 for cooling while hiking, and use it with a power bank to power my camping lantern at night, saving me from carrying one piece of gear!
 **Office Workers**: Use it in desktop mode at setting 2 to cool my laptop and arms, eliminating sleepiness while coding in the afternoon!
 **Gymgoers**: Use setting 4 to cool off sweat after a workout. It's more hygienic than the public fans at the gym, and folds up to fit neatly in your gym bag.

Why is it a worthwhile replacement for your old fan?
