I finally got my hands on the object of all desires when the mercury rises. Once out of its packaging, what is the most popular mini fan of the moment really worth? Test and editorial opinion.
Since I was a teenager, I have always been hot. Whether it’s windy or raining, I overheat, which has earned me the undisputed title of queen of fans – my respects! So, when social networks began to ignite over a new portable accessory with an irresistible design, my curiosity as a decoration journalist was immediately piqued. Yet another gadget or real revolution for surviving extreme heat? In order to be sure, I decided to test it in real conditions.
On paper, the promise of this 3-in-1 device in a pretty pink color is enough to make you dream. First, it ventilates with precision thanks to its 10 modes (from 1 to 5 for indoors and from 6 to 10, more powerful, for outdoors) capable of propelling air up to 7.5 meters per second – impressive! But that’s not all, it also includes a misting function, as pleasant on the face as it is for hydrating our suffering houseplants. Finally, and this is its secret weapon, it has an innovative cooling tip designed to instantly reduce skin temperature by up to 9 degrees.
So Friday evening, knocked out after an intense and crushed week of heat, I finally pressed “On”. Verdict after a scorching weekend of intensive use? I was literally amazed. The immediate freshness effect is striking and keeps all its promises. Another excellent surprise: its autonomy is crazy, I ran it for 5 hours cumulatively over two days, and its battery has still not weakened.

But then, what is the name of this little marvel of technology that everyone is raving about? This is the ChillPill from the Shark brand. A small ally, even if everything is not perfect. We must admit that its “boost” mode makes a hell of a noise, and that its sale price is a bit steep: 129.99 euros but 109.99 euros during the sales. On these two points, the brand still has a little work to do to perfect the experience.
In short, if you’re looking for a partner who fits everywhere to cool you off quickly this summer, go for it. On the other hand, if it’s to look pretty on your desk or nightstand, save your money. And above all, don’t forget to hydrate well!
