DYSON has launched a brand new device just as the UK basks in spring sunshine.
The British tech pioneer is releasing its first ever portable handheld fan.
But in premium Dyson fashion the price isn’t cheap – selling for £99.99.
The HushJet Mini Cool fan can achieve airflow speeds of up to 25m/s (meters per second) which is the equivalent of 55mph.
Dyson says the gadget can be used as a wearable around your neck, placed on your desk or handheld.
It’s powered by a brushless DC motor spinning at up to 65,000 RPM.

The weight clocks in at only 212g and the battery can last a maximum of six hours depending on your speed setting.
“Since 2009, we’ve been obsessed with airflow,” explained Jake Dyson, the company’s chief engineer and son of founder Sir James Dyson.
“Mastering air projection, reducing turbulence, and refining thermal technology.
“The HushJet Mini Cool fan is the culmination of that journey: powerful airflow, engineered for life on the move by bringing elite cooling technology from every home to your hand.”
There are five different airflow speeds available, as well as a special boost mode for extra turbo charged power.
Dyson has also worked on keeping the noise from the whirling motors low, following its long-running focus on acoustics that shape the company’s famed vacuum cleaners.
