Summer is hot! There is no getting around it, and when you are outdoors, camping, playing with the kids or any number of outdoor activities you are subject to the hot summer temperatures. You can't wrap yourself in a bubble of air conditioned air and be comfortable, but there are different things you can do to help cool yourself down while still enjoying the grand outdoors!
1. Drink Plenty of Water- if you get dehydrated, your body's ability to naturally cool itself is hampered, thus making everything feel hotter than it actually is.
2. Frequent shady areas- it is important not to stay solely in the sun for long periods of time. Take a few rest periods where you can get out of the sun's direct rays and enjoy slightly cooler temperatures.
3. Enjoy frozen treats-Obviously this is helpful for cooling yourself off, but not always the best choice for your waistline, but still it a fun summer activity.
4. Spritz yourself with Water- just as sweating helps cool our bodies, so does spritzing yourself with a mist of cool water.
5. Use a quality Hand-held Personal Air Cooler.
A quality hand-held personal air cooler is a great way that you can have your own personal air conditioner with you at all times. Sometimes you won't have access to shady areas, or even then they are still sweltering with heat. You don't always want to eat sweet treats, and although Spritzing yourself with cool water helps, if you could only have a cool breeze then it would make an even greater benefit to cooling off in the hot summer months!
As I mentioned you want a quality hand-held personal air cooler, not one that will work for a week and then break. I've seen some that are made from flimsy plastic, with little water bottle attachments. Apparently they are suppose to use the water from the bottle to create a cool air and then spray yourself with the cooler air. All these ever did was create a short term cool burst of air, and then leaked a lot of water all over the place and broke soon after purchase.
Now the Handy Cooler on the other hand, has worked wonders for my family this last month! Our temperatures started to climb higher and higher, and being as we live in the land of "I don't believe in A/C units in homes" here in Idaho, this handy little hand-held personal air cooler quickly became a dear friends to us.
The Cooler comes with easy to follow directions, a cooling filter (sponge), the handy cooler device, a small water bottle and a USB power cord!
It is well packaged and arrived with out any damage. It is available for purchase in black, pink, and blue.
The back of the package helps explain how the product works as well. Basically the handy Cooler is more than just merely a simple hand-held personal air cooler. The Handy Cooler is:
- Portable as it can run on batteries
- Offers a USB power source, great for a desktop fan
- small and easy to carry around wherever you go
- emits a cooling breeze
- cools air up to 30 degrees
- is not a misting fan, you and your clothes stay completely dry
- 90 degree rotating fan direction
- uses a 30db whisper quiet fan
- flat bottom allows for transferring from a hand held device to a desktop cooling fan
- Fully adjustable power level
- 1 year warranty
Assembly is quite simple, you install the batteries, damped the filter as directed and put into place, close the cover and you are set to use.
The filter comes in a sanitized and sealed bag to ensure that it is fresh and free of contamination. The small water bottle is how you measure the proper amount of water to be used with the Handy Cooler. Too much water and it will leak and can destroy your machine. Too little and you may not get enough cooling feature. The small water bottle helps you measure the approved level of water to use with your cooling filter. And the Handy Cooler comes with easy to follow instructions.
For us the handy cooler was most beneficial this last month as I was so severely sick. When the fever hit and I just couldn't stand the heat, I was able to use the handy cooler, to help cool myself when I had no other way to help relieve my hot flashes. Then when the house actually got to a sweltering 89 degrees inside, and it was over 90 outside, the handy cooler was perfect to help me find some comfort while I was laid up for the week.
But I'm not the only one that loves the handy cooler! My kids each fought over who would have the chance to use this amazing hand-held personal air cooler. It is more than just a little fan. We have plenty of those running full blast throughout the house all summer long. But they really liked the handy Cooler because it actually produced cooler air and helped them feel cooler as well.
I loved how I could have full control over the level of air that emitted from the handy cooler. You have full control over how much air you want from the Handy Cooler, not just their preset level 1, level 2, level 3 settings.
But what I'm really looking forward to, is taking this hand-held personal air cooler to the fourth of July events in our town! We always attend our town's Fourth of July parade, and festivities at the park and cook outs! And to top it off, we are usually out in the sun most of the day in a lot of hot weather. I am very excited to have the Handy Cooler with us this year, to help keep us all from over-heating in the sweltering summer sun!
The handy Cooler is a great outdoor gear device for
- Hot flashes
- camping
- BBQs and Picnics
- Outdoor sporting events
- golfing
- amusement parks
- home and office
- watching sports
- sunbathing
- and much more.

I like how you have full control over how much air you want from the Handy Cooler.
I learned that unless you have one of these Handy Coolers…the only way you can stay cool is to stay somewhere that has an ac…

I like that this is portable, small, and runs on batteries.
I learned it uses a USB cord that is great
I learned you can use it for hot flashes lol for some reason i would of never thought to use it for that, I like that it’s a high quality cooler. This would be great to use on my son when getting into the car on a day when it is 100 degrees, that’s what makes me most excited
I love that there’s a usb cord
I think it’s totally cool that this thing blows cool air through a wet sponge. This will cool the air so much better that a traditional fan.
This is great would love to have one
Portability is key! size small is also nice.
I learned that you can stay cool by spritzing yourself with water. I love that its portable, how neat!
oh wow this would be great for my grandma…her old house doesn’t have air conditioning and i feel awful knowing she’s living in that house in the summer! this would make me more comfortable with that.
That’s a good tip about spritzing your self with water. I love that this has a usb charger, how modern. I’ve never seen these mini AC units before, this looks awesome. I would totally use this. I have a few appearances scheduled at outdoor events with my Etsy shop, twolittleseastars, this would make my life much more comfy.

I like that it can cool you down without misting water – sometimes you just want to cool down without getting wet!
I love that it can be plugged into a usb port to save on batteries.It sounds perfect for my hot flashes.
Many good points about staying cool–biggest is probably to stay hydrated and in the shade as much as possible. A good thing about the Handy Cooler is that it can be powered by multiple methods.
Great checklist of good tips. I would add that I wear light colored clothes and avoid heavy foods and alcoholic beverages.
I would love to win this splendid Handy-Cooler. I know some people love the hot weather – but not me! And worst of all – I can’t cool off at home as we have NO A/C – not even window a/c units!
like that it is versatile and uses batteriies or usb power

i just love it!!! amazing product!
I learned that it cools to 30 degrees.
If I won this I would give it to my mom. She has trouble breathing in the heat and at work her desk is in front of a window – so something small like this wouldn’t take up too much desk space and she could cool herself down a bit.
My daughter needs this–I know she would take it from me. When she gets hot, it comes on suddenly, and here cheeks get hot.
I need it for when I goto the races
I like that it’s portable and runs on batteries – great for when you have no electric like us last week.
I am a runner this would come in handy..
The only thing missing from your 5 suggestions to help stay cool is #5 the Hand-held Personal Air Cooler. It’s 112 with heat index and our room feels a lot hotter. the window air can’t keep it cool.
Your ideas are really good though! Not everyone uses common sense. I hope I win!!!! I could sure use it right now!!!!!

I could use this when I walk anywhere..
I am always 10 degrees warmer than anyone else, at home, at my office, wherever. I have tried so many personal coolers, I can’t even keep count anymore. I love that this one is battery operated or can plug into a USB port for power, I also love that it does not use water as that never works out well.
I learned that spritzing yourself with water helps you stay cooler.

We also carry a wet rag in a zip lock baggie. It comes in very helpfull.

This thing is awesome! I would love to have it, and i will have to remember to eat lots of frozen snacks to stay cool… ice cream here i come lol
I love that it has a warranty, I tend to break things.

Love that you can use it with batteries or the USB cord.
This is a really neat little device and I’d love to try it. I think the idea of taking it to summer outings is super! We are skipping some activities this 4th due to the heat and something like this would really help to make life a little more comfortable!
this would be great to have during our annual disney trip
I like that it is portable and small …to carry around
I like that it is portable and won’t be spraying water in my face!
I like that it is versatile, doesn’t break easily and actually cool to 30′s degrees
I noticed young children holding the fan, so the blades must be hidden. Great feature. I also like the fact that it actually cooled air by 30 degree’s.
I wonder how this would work if you ran and held it?
I think its great that it has a usb portal. I also like the fact that it is safe for children.
I am most happy to find out it can be portable and battery operated and that it does NOT get you wet or damp bc I am sure my sister will seriously need this walking in dangerously high temps all the way to work as she walks thru the city of Philly to get to work and back (she doestn have a car and she doesnt have a/c in her sweltering apt either) it would touch my heart to be able to win this for her to help her. Thank you for the thorough review and the pics especially of all the components to help me understand how it works etc. Sure hope I can win for my little sister.
I love how portable it is and how u can plug it into a computer, man I could really use this
I love how portable this is! It is perfect for work.
USB!! LOVE that!! Oh yes, I am on my computer a LOT. And it’s the endless battle between hubby and I over the temp to put the house in summer…. HE always wants to keep the A/C set SO darn high- like at 76- me, I’m always wanting it at 72 or I’m still too warm. I could have this fan for myself!! How nice it would be even when we do not need A/C, and I just need some cooling in the evening when I go to sit and read. Very interesting fan, I really want one!
I love that it cools the air up to 30 degrees. We live in a very hot arid climate and this would work very well for us.
thanks for the chance to win
It is oppressively hot inside our uncooled apartment. This might be enough to take the edge off on a really hot day, and I’ve already taken a shower to cool down!
I would love to win that Portable Hand-held Personal Air Cooler! It’s an awesome product that everyone loves, especially in this hot summer!
Thank You for your review!

It’s amazing to me that this can cool the air up to 30 degrees. That would be awesome. I know there is a heat wave right now all around the country, but I live in the south where there is a permanent heat wave almost all year. I would love to try this out.
I learned eating frozen treats can help keep you cool! We eat a lot of slushies during Summer months.
I like the durability of this fan and it’s cooling effectiveness.
