The Shark ChillPill 3-in-1 Personal High-Speed Fan has reached its lowest-ever price of £119.99 in a 'Big Prime Deal', down from the usual £149.99. This represents a 20% discount on the portable cooling device, which has been praised by users for its effectiveness against the heat.
Features and Performance
The ChillPill employs three cooling modes via swappable attachments: a high-speed fan, an evaporative mister, and an InstaChill plate that can reduce skin temperature by up to 9°C, according to Shark. The device offers an 11-hour battery life in fan mode and has earned a 4.1-star rating on Amazon from 170 reviews.
Rachel Pugh, Reach Head of Fashion and Beauty Affiliates, called it the 'perfect handbag-sized gadget' for tackling heat, especially for makeup wearers. She noted: 'I've tried out all of the features of the Shark ChillPill 3-in-1 Fan myself, and I've been impressed by each. You can turn the power up or down depending on how much breeze or mist you want on your skin, and at top level, it really is refreshing.' She added that the top fan speed can be noisy but that it is expected given its power.
User Reviews
One customer wrote: 'I’ve been using the Shark Chill Pill on my Tube commute and it’s been brilliant during the warmer weather. The three attachments are all so useful, I especially love the mist function and the cool plate for an instant cooling effect.' Another said: 'This is the best portable air conditioner available. It’s a fan yes but it’s an actual portable air conditioner... This will actually drop the temperature on your body or in a small room with mist mode.'
A third user commented: 'This has become my new favorite accessory! It cools me down instantly and is compact enough to fit in all my handbags.' However, one less pleased customer noted that when using the cooling plate, the battery went out in 22 minutes.
