Dyson makes all kinds of vacuums, fans, and purifiers — everyone knows that. But most of them are larger appliances, meant for home use. For something a bit different, Dyson has launched a new device, the HushJet Mini Cool, a battery-powered handheld fan you can take anywhere.
The petite device weighs 212g, less than many pairs of over-ear headphones, and is designed to fit wherever you need it. Other than holding the HushJet Mini in your hand as a personal fan, Dyson says it can also sit on your desk or be worn, presumably when your hands are full.
Supporting this is the inclusion of what Dyson calls a ‘Neck Dock’. Essentially, it’s a fancy lanyard designed specifically for the new fan. Various clips and mounts are also supported as add-on accessories, letting you attach the fan to prams or bags.
Like the Dyson PencilWash and PencilVac appliances before it, the HushJet Mini Cool measures a slim 38mm in diameter. It’s a consistent design signature on par with a 20-cent coin that Dyson is particularly fond of.
Based on the details provided by Dyson, the HushJet Mini Cool blasts out air at up to 25 metres-per-second speeds, courtesy of its 65,000RPM DC motor. The fan has five speed settings and an additional ‘Boost’ mode to crank up the airflow.
Dyson hasn’t confirmed when the fan will arrive in Australia, but it will cost $169 when it does. Overseas, where the warmer months are approaching, the HushJet Mini Cool costs US$99, roughly $140 in local money.
It’s a cute-looking device, one that many of us Aussies don’t need right now, with winter on the horizon. Later in the year, potentially when Dyson brings the HushJet Mini Cool to our shores, it could be a handy summer companion.
Updated to include Australian pricing.
