John Lewis’ stylish sell-out fan is back – grab one while you can to stay cool in the hot weather

The hot weather is finally here, with temperatures set to increase as we go further into the summer months. Luckily for us, John Lewis has restocked their iconic sell-out item to get us through the sweltering days. 

Figuring out how to cool down rooms is one thing, but keeping yourself cool while going about your everyday business on the go is a completely different struggle –which most of us will fail horribly at once the summer months heat up.

When it comes to keeping cool in the summer, these handheld fans are just the ticket for coolness on the go. That's why we were overjoyed that John Lewis' iconic handheld fan was back in stock, and in new colourways to match every style of summer outfit. We just had to spread the word before they sold out again...

Back in stock: Iconic John Lewis handheld fan

Sharing the restock news on their Instagram, John Lewis says, "Guess who's back? Our bestselling icon of hot weather is here again to offer you its coolness. Get yours, in a fresh new colour this season."

The ANYDAY handheld and foldable desk fan quickly sold out in record time last year and has been on many people's wishlists ever since.

Why is it so good? It can be used anywhere, with a charging cable that plugs into a standard USB port making it ideal for those sweaty office days. But what's even more exciting is that the fan is back with added colours, and let us just say keeping cool has never looked so chic.

The fan, which retails at just £12, comes in White, Sage, Lake Blue and Yellow. The question is which one are we going to pick?

Why not try out an expert fan hack to feel instantly cooler and get even more relief?

John Lewis Anyday Handheld & Foldable Desk Fan

RRP: £12 | As one of the most fashionable colours to emerge in recent years this Sage green design is bound to sell out first. With a 4.9/5 star rating from 1320 customer reviews it's safe to say this handy fan comes highly recommended for instant coolness with a side of style.

It's fair to say customers were extremely happy about the restock news, if not somewhat worried about the PSA, with one user saying, "Sshhhhh - stop telling everyone about these beauties. They’re going to sell out, again."

Another user boasted about the fan's versatility, they commented, "The best! Mine have seen me through holidays, and summer with a newborn and I took it to the hospital with me in my baby bag! The best fan."

Not only is the fan a perfect way to keep a bedroom cool by having it folded down on the bedside table, but it's also great for those going through menopause and experiencing hot flushes at a moment's notice.

The rechargeable fan has three-speed settings whilst being surprisingly quiet too, so there's no worry of bothering any of your coworkers or easily-irritable family members.

You can purchase the fans right now on the John Lewis site and have one delivered to your home the next day or pick one up when you pop to your local Waitrose to do the shopping.

We'd recommend you act fast though, they didn't stick around very long the last time they were available and if the forecast is anything to go by you'll need the cooling relief over the next few weeks at least.

If these stylish options sell out, we can also recommend the top 4-rated handheld fans on Amazon which our Editor is testing during the heatwave.
