Dyson unveils its first pocket-sized fan, the HushJet Mini Cool, for $99

Dyson has released its first handheld fan, the HushJet Mini Cool at $99. Weighing 7.5 oz and 1.5 inches in diameter, it offers five speeds plus a Boost mode, up to six hours of runtime on the lowest setting and about a three-hour charge. The brushless DC motor spins up to 65,000 RPM for up to 80 ft/s (55 mph) of airflow and operates around 52 dBA on speed 1 (72.5 dBA in Boost). It ships with a charging stand, USB-C, a travel pouch, and a lanyard, with additional colorways rolling out later. Dyson frames it as portable cooling and contrasts it with Shark’s ChillPill, which is pricier ($149.99), heavier, and offers different features like longer battery life, 10 speeds, and interchangeable heads.

A Neo 2 with more RAM (potentially 12GB) and an A19 Pro chip is rumored, but Apple is expected to keep the Neo’s base price at $600.
