Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
VENTY Portable Fan
- 48-hour battery life on low from a 16,000 mAh cell, the longest runtime of any portable fan CyberNews tested
- Folds flat to a 3.5-inch disk for packing, then telescopes to over 3 feet as a standing fan with 120-degree oscillation
- Remote control, LED night light, and power bank function make it a camping and travel multi-tool
- 8-hour full recharge time is long, noted by CyberNews as a significant drawback
- No battery indicator to show remaining charge, so you're guessing when it will die
- At 2.6 lbs and $80, it's heavier and pricier than handheld fans like the Jisulife ($14)
Jisulife Handheld Fan
- 5+ hours on highest speed in CNN Underscored's 80-90 F outdoor test, outlasting competitors two to three times its price
- 4.4 oz and 4.72 inches tall with 90-degree folding; fits in an 8x7-inch bag per CNN's Gareen Puglia
- Built-in flashlight and emergency power bank function at just $14, with USB-C charging
- Highest speed setting is loud, per CNN Underscored's outdoor testing
- Takes about 2 hours to fully charge, per CNN Underscored
- Reviewed's testers found the folding mechanism 'difficult to open'

- You camp, travel, or spend extended time outdoors and need a fan that runs for days
- You want one device that works as a fan, power bank, and night light
- You need auto-oscillation to cool a tent, van, or small room
- You value quiet operation (30 dB) for sleeping
- You have room in your bag for 2.6 lbs and don't need pocket-sized
Jisulife Handheld Fan
CNN Underscored's Gareen Puglia tested portable fans outdoors in 80-90 F Los Angeles heat, walking with them and using them poolside during a heat wave. The Jisulife Handheld Fan came out on top. Three speed settings that, in Puglia's words, 'pack a punch.' Over 5 hours of runtime on the highest setting, timed by CNN's testers. And all of it for $14.
