John Lewis' sell-out £12 desk fan is back and shoppers 'can't live without it'

The much-loved £12 John Lewis desk fan is finally back, and shoppers are snapping it up already.

As lovely as the sunshine is, the warm weather can often result in an uncomfortable commute to the office, or an uncomfortable office. Even for those working from home, a fan is essential for keeping cool.

Last year, the £12 Handheld and Foldable Desk Fan sold out in a flash, and now it's back. It comes in three different colours including sage, white, orange and navy and has glowing reviews from shoppers once again.

On the John Lewis website, the full product description reads: "Surprisingly powerful for its compact size and quiet too, this handheld rechargeable fan features 3-speed settings. The handle cleverly incorporates a fold-out stand, so it can be set on your desk or table.

The charging cable plugs into a standard USB port, making it the perfect companion for a laptop if you're spending a lot of time in the home office. If you need to travel it's also the ideal companion for the commute, easily slipping into a bag.

The handheld fan also has a fold out stand (John Lewis)

Once fully charged (which only takes 5 hours), this fan will operate for approximately 9 hours on low speed, 6 hours on medium speed and 4 hours on high speed. Includes rechargeable battery and charging cable."

The product has an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 from shoppers, and is already selling quickly online. Many shoppers claim they "can't be without" the nifty device.

Among the reviews, one shopper said: "As a menopausal lady I find this item so helpful and the fact it can also turn into a desk fan or on your nightstand is ingenious."

A second review read: "What a great product, been looking for something like this for years powerful fan with 3 settings and folds down to allow non hand held on table, really helpful for hot flushes nice and discreet."

A third shopper said: "I bought one of these last year, and they are very handy little fans, as they don't take up much room. They have three speeds, and they fold nicely to sit on a flat surface. I've bought another one, so I can keep in my bedroom thought out the summer. They make ideal presents."

A fourth review read: "Really great fan. Not too big to carry around but big enough to create a good air flow. Very quiet even on the highest speed. This will definitely be used as the weather warms up."

Shoppers can purchase the £12 John Lewis fan here.

Alternative products include this £6 Mini Handheld Fan from Amazon.
