During hot yoga in a 110-degree Fahrenheit room where hot air is blowing on my skin, I often dream of having something, anything, to cool me down. Lately, I ve been imagining (hallucinating?) the Hush Jet Mini Cool, Dyson s first personal handheld fan, at the top of my yoga mat during particularly sweaty moments. Its slim profile also makes it easy to throw into a purse or gym bag.
As CNET s wellness editor, I ve had the opportunity to test a wide array of health tech, including the HushJet Mini Cool alongside its recently released competitor, the Shark ChillPill, for several weeks. Unlike the ChillPill, which is a three-in-one device with a fan, cooling plate and water mister, the Mini Cool is simply a fan, but it s a powerful one.
