At this point, I'm pretty convinced that Dyson and Shark are in some sort of competition to come up with the craziest names for their latest innovations. Dyson has the PencilVac Fluffycones and PencilWash, whilst Shark has the BlastBoss and ChillPill.
What I'm saying is I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the rooms where they come up with these names because I think a vacuum called DirtKing could really catch on. Anyway, while the names are unusual, there's nothing unusual about how impressive these products are. And in the latest addition to its line-up, Dyson has released its first ever portable handheld fan called the HushJet Mini Cool.

Meet the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool
Weighing in at just 7.5oz, the HushJet is the perfect companion for those hot, summery days. And while Shark has only recently launched the ChillPill, an eerily similar product that also offers misting, Dyson has some of its own features to rave about.
Aside from looking a little bit like a high fashion pore remover or facial cleanser, it's got some pretty impressive highlights including up to 6 hours of battery life and a high-speed brushless motor spinning up to 65,000 RPM. Now, I'm not sure how cool that's going to keep me, but it certainly sounds impressive.
With 5 speeds and even a Boost mode for those extra sweaty days, the HushJet has one goal in mind, to provide a mini cooling fan that you can take wherever you go.
Not only do you get the fan, available in three finishes – Stone/Blush, Carnelian/Sky (available May 2026), and Ink/Cobalt (available June 2026), but it even comes with a lanyard, charging stand, USB-C cable and travel pouch. It's really screaming out: "Take me with you!"
Here's why I can't wait to try it
Dyson is a bit of a master at making fans. Take the Dyson Cool CF1 bladeless fan, a redesign of the brand's iconic Dyson Cool from 2009 or the Dyson Hot+Cool 3-in-1 air purifier, heater and fan as two shining examples of the brand's impressive air care range.
And yet, this is the first time it's ever released a handheld fan, which is one of the main reasons I'm excited to try it. Taking "17 years of airflow mastery" into a portable cooling companion feels like a big deal.
An even bigger deal? It's actually incredibly affordable at just $99. Sure, in comparison to the questionable handheld fan I panic bought one hot summer from Walmart, it's pricey. But, said handheld fan is also not very good. Plus, in comparison to say the Shark ChillPill that'll cost you $149, it's competitive, especially considering it offers a range of features that I'm also eager to try.
Airflow speeds up to 25m/s (55mph), 6 hours of runtime, 7.5oz in weight, HushJet technology for a cool and quiet experience, and multi-functional use are all part of the line-up. But, I'll wait until I get a full hands-on experience before I say whether it's truly worth the money. For now, the signs are looking good.
The HushJet is available now for $99 at Dyson.
