The chillpill has, let’s say, a rather unique design – it looks a bit like a compact pair of binoculars, with two rounded barrels sitting side by side and connected by a hinge. The smaller barrel houses the controls and charging port, while the larger one contains the motor and interchangeable attachments. There’s a dial around the LED display on the smaller barrel too, letting you crank the fan speed up from one to 10.

You can angle the fan exactly where you want it, or twist it into a right angle and sit it on a desk, using the smaller barrel as a base. Shark also sells accessories, like a crossbody strap (£9.99, Sharkclean.co.uk ), so you don’t have to constantly hold it in your hand.

While it’s kind of awkward to hold at first, the tech is actually pretty neat.…
