Dyson has made a portable version of its iconic fan

The 65,000 RPM brushless DC motor produces a blast of air at speeds up to 55 mph, but this can be turned down to maximize the HushJet Mini Cool’s battery life and make it run quieter. Dyson says the fan’s 5,000 mAh rechargeable battery is good for up to six hours of use, and at its lowest setting produces 52 decibels of noise, which is roughly equivalent to the sound of a floor fan or air conditioner. At its highest setting, in boost mode, that jumps to 72.5dB.

All components of HushJet’s Mini Cool, including the motor and battery, are housed inside a cylindrical body with a diameter of 38 mm. This is the same thickness as Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, Vac penciland Wash pencil Floor cleaner, and slimmer than a can of Red Bull. On the top of the HushJet Mini Cool is a nozzle that can be rotated to direct air directly upward or at an angle. It reminds us of the unpleasant commercial ending of Sea lampreyBut its unique shape is designed to attenuate high-pitched frequencies so the fan is easier on the ears.

The HushJet Mini Cool will be available starting April 9 for $99 in the Stone/Blush color option. In May, Dyson will add a Garnet/Sky (red) option, and in June an Ink/Cobalt (blue) version. At launch, the fan will include accessories such as a charger that allows the fan to stand on its own and a lanyard for hands-free wear that hangs from your neck. Sometime in the summer, Dyson plans to release additional accessories, including a stroller mount and a clip to attach the fan to the straps of bags and jackets.
