Home Cooks Dub This Impressive Compact Fan a 'Real Lifesaver' in the Summer—and It's 38% Off at Amazon

Cooking during the summertime is a whole other ballgame, particularly because it gets hot fast — and we're not talking about your skillet. Your stove, oven, and even your microwave increase temperatures in the kitchen, which is why a cooling fan is a must-have for any home cook. If you've been sweating over a hot stove, now's the time for some relief with the Vornado 133 Compact Air Circulator Fan.

Even the most powerful air conditioners can struggle at this time of year, especially if you have a small, enclosed cooking space. That's where the Vornado fan comes in. Psst, you can get it 38% off at Amazon right now.

To buy: Vornado 133 Compact Air Circulator Fan, $31 (originally $50) at amazon.com

The 8.7-inch table fan has a compact frame, making it ideal to rest on countertops or even your dinette while you meal prep. And because it only weighs just over 2 pounds, you can move it virtually anywhere post-cooking, like your at-home office, bedside table, or bathroom.

The "crazy powerful" personal fan is designed with two speeds, which are easily adjustable with the dial in the back, and is strong enough to push out air in several directions at a time.

However, if you want it right on you, that can be arranged, too. The fan has an adjustable tilt head mechanism for aiming. Plus, shoppers confirm that they can still feel the cooling effects several feet away. That's because it is made to blast cool air up to 25 feet.

In fact, one person who uses the Vornado specifically for the kitchen and office said, "I love that it puts out genuinely cold air in a powerful stream I can feel many feet away and only takes a small amount of shelf space." They also dubbed it a "real lifesaver" for the summer.

It's no wonder the compact fan has earned nearly 4,000 five-star ratings on Amazon so far from people who use it while cooking or those who live in tropical or desert climates.

Another shopper who uses the Vornado in the kitchen called it the "perfect small fan" and shared that it "blows plenty of air on both speeds" while one last fan simply said it "packs a punch."

Cook meals sweat-free with the Vornado compact fan while it's 38% off at Amazon right now.
