Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dyson deserves a great deal of credit for their unique, clever, and effective engineering. Over the years my family has used - and has been impressed with - their vacuum cleaners, bladeless fans, and their blow dryers (which my wife uses in her salon). And, while the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan does technically work, it does not feel as polished as Dyson's other products. The design and color choice of this fan are quite polarizing. The color is less pink than it is a strange bandaid flesh tone. This is especially unfortunate as the styling makes the object look like some type of adult toy. Every time a new friend or family member lays eyes on the HushJet Mini, their face twists into confused concern. Looking down the barrel of this fan is like gazing into the oral surface of a Starfish. While the mouth of the fan is designed to look like the opening of the much larger HushJet Air Purifier, its cavity looks more like a puckered worm. Design oddness aside, the main issue is that the fan is quite loud. Apparently, attempting to hush a jet doesn't quite work as the fan quickly exceeds 70 decibels - which the Hearing Health Foundation states can cause hearing damage over time. The fan produces a certain high-pitched whine that is difficult to describe. But, I personally cannot use the fan indoors or anywhere that one expects any level of quiet. While it is the perfect size to set on a desk, I simply cannot use it without literally hurting my ears. As I am writing I am literally experiencing discomfort in my left ear from using the HushJet for just 10 minutes. ...I definitely would not feel comfortable using the HushJet at work as it would bother coworkers. While "Hush" is not an appropriate adjective, this fan truly does feel like a jet. I personally do not have a tool that measures wind speed, but this little guy MOVES AIR! I believe that the 55 MPH listed on the box is probably accurate. Not only is the fan powerful, but the air is extremely focused. Imagine the beam emitted by a flashlight, but instead of light being cast, it is a strong wind. The lanyard looks a bit haphazard, but it works well holding the HushJet at chest level. This is honestly the first device that my wife will actually use outdoors. It can literally blow your hair back if you choose a higher setting. Keep this thing away from your ears, but if you need a strong breeze on a hot day, this fan won't let you down.

First the good: This does a good job cooling you down. It worked best for me on my desk. It has 5 levels and a turbo mode that all cool you down very well. It claims to last up to 6 hours on the lowest setting which is good battery life. However, this thing is LOUD. You really can’t use this unless you are alone due to the volume and anything beyond the lowest setting also comes with a high pitched turbine sound that gets annoying quickly. So don’t plan to use this in an office setting with other people around. It’s nice that it comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck, but it’s a bit odd looking with a dangling single shoe lace for length adjustment. It’s also a bit heavy to wear for very long around your neck. Because it is on a swinging lanyard it wasn’t ideal for mowing the lawn or working outside. It does stays in place and keep you cool on an outdoor walk (not a jog though). Has a base stand to keep it stable on your desk or while charging. Also comes with a carrying case to protect it while traveling or not in use. Overall if you don’t mind the loudness - Yes it’ll keep you cool, but it’s unfortunately a rare Dyson miss for me.

I’ve been using the HushJet Mini Cool for over a week, including several days in hot and humid Florida weather. Overall, it’s a very well-designed portable fan. It’s comfortable to carry, easy to use, and the airflow is surprisingly strong for its size. Where it works best is when you’re already sweating. Using Turbo mode on sweaty skin makes a noticeable difference because the airflow helps the sweat evaporate faster. In very hot and humid conditions, though, don’t expect it to feel like cold air. It’s still blowing the same warm, humid air around you, so the cooling effect becomes much less noticeable. My other complaint is the noise. For something called “HushJet,” Turbo mode definitely isn’t what I would call quiet. At $99, I think you’re paying extra for Dyson’s design, build quality and brand. There are much cheaper portable fans that can provide similar basic functionality. I like the HushJet and would recommend it at the regular $99 price, but I absolutely would not pay a marked-up reseller price for it.

I bought this while visiting Virginia Beach and used it numerous times on the beach and visiting the aquarium. It kept up and the airflow is absolutely amazing. People complain about the noise but it is literally a fan they make noise. I love the ability to move the fan flow and the stand it came with is a great added touch.

A life saver in the summer, especially on the NYC subway. Amazing battery life. If you want to run this above level 1 or maybe 2, you might scare everyone around you, but this thing works.

I have a neck strap fan which has been great for years but unfortunately very noisy. This led me to purchase this Dyson unit. Overall very well built, and I love the fact it can be used three ways (in hand, with stand on table, and hanging from a person's neck). Sound is much less than my original fan, although not completely quiet (it sounds like a weak version of a Dyson hair dryer, with a "jet-like" sound) so don't think it goes completely unnoticed. Also, because this one will hang from your neck, after a while you will begin to feel it, which is why I took off one star.

Portable and powerful mini fan , a little bit noisy , specially on the highest settings , but overall a practical global warming gadget !

Blows out cool air and is the perfect size. Can be a little loud on the higher settings, but doesn't bother me at all.

Excellent cooling. Good battery life. It does make some noise but not a deal breaker.

This fan is amazing. While the form factor is tiny (you can wear it on the lanyard easily) it still provides amazing air flow.

This thing fits in your pocket in a small Crossbody the charge lasts longer than expected, and it charges very quickly

Great fan with nice air flow. A little loud in the highest mode. Great for handheld not so hands free friendly if you are blessed in the chest area.

Very happy with the purchase of this compact and easy to carry Dyson fan. Battery performance was great and noise level is pretty low.

This product truly is stellar!! So small and cute...but STRONG power!!

Overall a wonderful fan. Very strong and quiet, it is a bit heavy, but overall worth the weight.

Handy and powerful product. Delivers smooth and cool air

It has some blow to it. A little on the loud side.

Great portable fan, very powerful. Perfect for the summer!

Love the power from this little jet fan! At first, I was a bit skeptic on buying this pricey Dyson fan at the advertised price, but I took a change and I wasn't disappointed. Having owned several Dyson products over many years (mainly vacuums), I knew the reputation that Dyson products carries, even in their tinyest line of products.

I was surprised that this fan is a lot louder than I thought it would be. I also note that you cannot hang it around your neck like the newer model I just saw.
