Cordless breeze, folds flat

Late August heat has stubbornly refused to get the memo that summer’s supposed to be winding down. Your desk fan, if you even have one, is either corded and inconveniently far from the outlet or forgotten in a closet somewhere.

The GabbaGoods Roundabout Breeze skips that whole problem. It’s a portable, foldable fan that runs on a rechargeable battery, so it goes wherever you go — desk, nightstand, office, backseat of the car — without hunting for a plug.

An adjustable swivel head lets you aim the airflow exactly where you need it, whether that’s straight at your face during a video call or angled toward the back of your neck during a late-summer commute.

Charging is simple: plug in the included USB-Micro cable (wall adapter not included, so grab one you already own) and you’re set for cordless use until it needs topping off again.

It folds flat for travel or storage, comes in five colors, and generally does the one job you need it to do without making a production out of it.
