With this AC booster, you’ll be saying goodbye to sweaty nights *and* saving on your energy bill.

I'm a BuzzFeed Shopping writer who covers everything from home and organization to travel and gifting, and I'm passionate about staying on top of the latest beauty trends (especially K-beauty) as well as tracking down affordable products for a luxe lifestyle.

The rechargeable fan lasts for up to 16 hours on the lowest speed, and it has five different speed settings. Reviewers say it's especially great for people who work outside all day and still need their hands free to do tasks.

Promising reviews: "I live in South Florida, and I wear this to cool off when I get home after a hot day or if I’m sitting outside briefly. I have long hair, and it really takes the edge off. Satisfied customer here." —GMF

"This is a lightweight fan that produces a strong breeze. Even if it is only moving hot air, at least it helps keep you cool. It was nearly 90 degrees the day that I used it, and it lasted for at least nine hours. Highly recommended for theme parks or other locations where there's little shade and lots of heat!" —Blondegrandma

Many reviewers also say it helps reduce puffiness on their face when used in the morning.

Promising review: "Well made for the price. I find it’s helpful in the morning for puffy eyes. It’s great to use after a workout in sunny Florida. I use it to cool down and reduce redness after exercising." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "As a person prone to headaches, going through the heat issues of menopause, and living in the desert...this is an absolute game changer!!! We keep two in gallon plastic bags: one in the fridge, one in the freezer. I'm able to stave off oncoming headaches and calm down existing ones to a great degree. The one in the freezer is super intense, and I'll put it on and take it off a few times. I use that more for needing to cool down quickly or for a twisted ankle or wrist. These are genius in form and function. Pricey, but worth it for its purpose!!" —TBS

Promising review: "It gets to be over 100 degrees in the summer where I live. These come in handy when working in the yard, at the beach or even at the county fair when it's super hot. What a relief these are to use when the weather is hot. I've purchased these many times because I always seem to give them out especially to those that work outside in the heat (mail carrier, pool guy, landscaper...) and they are always very appreciative." —Realfoodmama

Promising review: "I've been using these pillowcases for about a week now and I have to say that they have really seemed to help my hair not be so frizzy when I wake up! I live in a hot and humid climate and my hair normally just makes my life awful this time of year (summer). I have been trying a couple of new things to help my hair, like using Moroccan Oil on the ends and these pillowcases and it's really a lot better. I also feel better about sleeping on my side now and don't worry so much that I'm creating wrinkles. I would definitely buy these again and recommend them!" —R. Spann

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 36 colors and four sizes).

It also has built-in benches and cup holders so you can lounge comfortably with your favorite drink close by!

Promising review: "This pool has been a great summertime addition to beat the Texas heat! My daughter, husband, and I are enjoying it so much! It’s a pretty good size, easy to set up, and, so far, is holding up pretty well! I did purchase a couple of additional items to keep the water/ pool clean and covered. I was quite skeptical at first as we had already purchased another pool this summer that didn’t last, but this pool was it! If you’re looking for something to relax in and cool off, go for it!" —Pineapple_Beauty94

Promising review: "Deployed to the desert. Started doing long runs, and I ordered this, not sure what to expect. Turns out, this item is freaking awesome. What's great is you are not limited to what hat you have to wear. I have paired mine with a North Face running hat, and it has been great at keeping me cooler than I thought it would. I honestly thought it would feel closed in, like it was holding in heat, but it actually feels great. Plus, the fact that it's easily removable is nice for easy storage. Small, light, easy on and off, easy to pack, works great, what's not to love?" —happy bill

Promising review: "I live in Florida and have two children in sports that I spend countless hours going to practice and games in the hot summer sun... I quickly learned to get a clip-on fan and umbrella to help stay cool, but the small sporting goods store umbrellas only ever seem to work if the sun is directly over your head, not coming from the side, or roasting your back or neck. Finding this Sport-Brella was like a gift from above. It is bigger, blocks more sun, and most importantly, can be adjusted into all kinds of angles to block the sun from whatever direction it comes from. It is also more durable than previous sport umbrellas I've used in the past. I'm sold on this... it costs a little more, but well worth the investment if you need to spend a lot of time at games and practice." —Wolfshanze

The water tank is easy to refill on the go as needed! This rechargeable fan provides up to 29 hours of cooling on the lowest speed, 8 hours on medium, and 3.75 hours on the highest setting. Plus, if you're near an outlet, you can plug it in for a continuous, endless breeze!

Promising reviews: "This thing is a lifesaver with a newborn in the Florida heat! Perfect for baseball days, beach and river days or just playing outside! Easy to charge has a great battery life and puts out some power. Very happy with it." —Amazon Customer

"Love having this extra option in the summer heat in the south while doing dog training classes. This fan is portable, and the mist is a huge upgrade! Cooled my dog down significantly faster." —D. Rose

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "I recently bought these shorts because I needed some more breathable summer options, and they're phenom! I love the huge array of colors you can buy these in. (At other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!) I love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or face mask. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!"

Promising review: "LOVE these shorts. 🥰 I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and the humidity was getting uncomfortable in regular cotton shorts. These are so light and breezy. The little zip pocket is handy and discreet. I loved the beautiful packaging too. I will order more colors because they are so great!" —Abnnassif

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 19 colors). 

Promising review: "I wish I had found this iced coffee maker years ago. I live in Florida and the summers are extremely hot, so I like to drink iced coffee in the morning during the summer. I grind up coffee beans and fill the infuser with them, then just fill up the pitcher with filtered water and let it infuse over night. When I wake up in the morning I have excellent-tasting iced coffee and it makes my mornings quick, because all I have to do is pour it into a to go cup. I can usually get about five fills out of one pitcher. I absolutely love this device and will always have one now that I have found it. You do not need anything more expensive or complicated than this." —Ashley Bouchard

Promising review: "I LOVE my JavaSok!! I am an iced coffee fanatic and now I have three JavaSoks! It really works! I keep one in my car at all times. I bought the medium, which is perfect for a large Peet's Iced coffee. It really keeps your coffee cold MUCH longer than without it. And where I live, it is 100 degrees often. I also like that I can bring my coffee with me into work, etc, and there is zero condensation left on a surface. Other bonus? When you don't have a coffee, it's a soft spot to set your phone in the car." —Wanda G

Get it from Amazon for $10.49+ (available in five sizes and dozens of styles).

Promising review: "I purchased these for every room in my house, they completely block out the light and heat. I live in Florida, so the AC is running 24/7, and after purchasing these, my electric bill went down about 25%. These are honestly such a smart investment if you’re looking to sleep in or cool your house down. I feel like an idiot for not buying them sooner." —Lucinda

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in many sizes and colors).

Promising review: "I decided I'd try leaves on top of the pergola along with some romantic solar lights. I ordered two of these in May, and here we are in August after being in full Florida sun and rain. So far, all the leaves are still attached and no color change! Impressive. You can see [photo] how you get a delightful dappled sun on the hot tub, so we no longer bake in the Florida sun while enjoying it during the day. Pleased with these for sure!" —October Sunshine

Get a roll from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes). You'll need some green zip ties to secure them, too.

Promising review: "We moved from New Hampshire to Florida a year and a half ago. I knew Florida was hot but…I bought this so I could sit out on the lanai on the hottest of days (95+) and it did the trick! It provides a nice light mist that you can move in any direction. It’s a nice weight so it doesn’t move. It obviously cannot replace a swimming pool but it will keep you cool. My dog likes the light mist and has even fallen asleep while being sprayed! An easy alternative until we get a pool! Buy it, you won’t regret it!" —Patricia Harty

Psst to anyone breastfeeding — many reviewers mentioned that the deep sleeves in this also made it easier to breastfeed at home!

Promising review: "I LOVE these shirts. I live in Arizona, where it is hot 50% of the year, and these are so nice and breezy! Great for working out and great for breastfeeding! I love that they’re dual-purpose for me. I went hiking with one on, and my friend liked it so much on me that she purchased some herself!" —Elizabeth

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL, 12 color combos, and 20 individual colors).

It features a programmable LCD controller with a heating and cooling thermostat and automated fan speeds. 

Promising review: "I live in Iowa and summers here are HOT…100 degrees a lot of the time and horribly humid. It’s pretty awful. Anyway, for almost four years I’ve suffered through summers in my primary bedroom that’s always been 8-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. We’ve had multiple HVAC people out, all of whom told us there’s not much they could do unless they ripped open walls to check why cool air (and heat in the winter) doesn’t get up to our bedroom. We’ve bought every fan and portable AC under the sun, but still nothing worked. I bought this product last week, and as soon as I plugged it in and installed it, I could feel a difference." —Stephanie Sherrod

Promising review: "I did have to push the magnets to the edge of the guard, but once that adjustment took place, it stuck to the vents easily. We have a vaulted ceiling, and, without these, only a small part of the room is cooled. These went up easily and don't detract from the appearance of our room, as they are clear. My living room is noticeably cooler, which is good when you live in the deep South. These are good quality, lightweight, and worth the money." —M. Arnold

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in larger packs).

Promising review: "I live in a very hot climate where it’s essential to carry water bottles everywhere you go for several months out of the year to avoid dehydration, and I have chronic joint pain due to a connective tissue disorder. I like to have ice in my water bottles because I don’t always have the time to refrigerate them for hours and don’t want the water to turn lukewarm or just plain hot while I’m out. The problem is, hard plastic ice trays are out of the question for me due to my joint pain, and certain silicone models (like the ones that create little semi-spherical ice cubes) aggravate my hand pain as well when I pop the cubes out, especially doing it over and over. These ice trays are a blessing from the heavens, I swear! Popping the ice out is a piece of cake — just use extremely minimal effort with the tips of your index fingers to push both ends of the cube out at once." —G.D.

Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available with or without covers, and in packs of two, three, and four).

Promising review: "We live in Southern California, and it gets HOT in the summer. I ordered two of these and, using some force and some scissors, turned them into one. It fits all the way around my covered patio, and makes it SO lovely out there. The mist will get you a little wet, so I can't sit out there with my laptop or Kindle. But, I guess that's pretty obvious. My cat loves them too; you can't get her out of the patio chairs when they are on. They were super easy to put up, the color blends perfectly, and the tube has just the perfect amount to go all the way up the house before the mister starts. Very happy with these." —esheld01

Promising reviews: "I live in the desert and these sheets are fantastic! I love the silky feel, and they wash up beautifully. I’m buying a second set today." —Sunny

"If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes

"I am a cold sleeper but my partner sleeps hot. Normally, her heat keeps me awake for a while. However, these sheets are so cool that I am instantly able to fall asleep. Pair that with how soft they are and they are definitely worth the money." —Trevor Scott Frazier

Promising review: "I LOVE this mattress pad. I let it breathe as directed. Living in Florida, my bed is always hot at night. I have been using this for a week, and I can feel the coolness of this mattress pad any time I wake up in the night. It is very comfortable also, adding a pillow feel to my bed. There is also a lot of space for any depth of mattress. I have a regular width mattress and I can easily tell a pillow top would be covered just as well. Well worth the purchase!" —Julie Santello

Get it from Amazon for $21.55+ (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and three colors). 

Promising review: "Withstands 110+ degree weather when I park outside Vegas in the summer, and my steering wheel is fine to touch. I can’t ask for more than that!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three sizes, eight colors, and another style with breathable pores).

Promising review: "I will never buy another pair of warm weather PJs again other than these. I am a thirty-something post-baby lady, and with my hormones paired with living in Arizona, I needed PJs that were cool and comfortable. But I often found that the fabric of other PJs would rapidly get worn, pilled, and rough. These silky soft PJs have been going strong for months now through countless hot flashes and heat waves when it would get into the 80s in our bedroom. If you are a hot-blooded person and need to cool down, I can't recommend these PJs enough. I literally never leave reviews but felt compelled to preach to others the good word of Latuza's PJs." —Margery

Promising review: "This is very comfortable and flowy. Wore it all day and didn’t want to take it off because of how comfy it was. I got lots of compliments on it at my baby shower — I’m eight months pregnant in Texas and it’s HOT here." —Lorin Rae

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's plus sizes 14–26 and in 35 colors).

The new-and-improved Brio air fryer has a full-digital display with large, easy-to-read letters and numbers. You can cook at temps ranging from 50–400 degrees F with precise 5-degree increments (very useful) and five different cooking functions: air fryer, toast, bake, roast, and dehydrate — so she's ~versatile~ too.

Promising reviews: "It's larger than I imagined, but works great. I like the idea of not heating the whole house in these hot months in SoCal!" —Margie P.

"My house doesn't have central A/C, so turning on the oven makes my house very hot during the summer. I purchased the air fryer to keep the house cooler. I love it! So far, I've used it to cook fries, roasted potatoes, onion rings, toast bagels, reheat leftover pizza, and Morningstar products. I'm a vegetarian so I haven't used it to cook any meat. At first, there was a burning plastic smell, but not anymore. It's so easy to use and I've been using it every week. I'm getting rid of my toaster and toaster oven because this air fryer does their job and will replace them on my kitchen counter. Make sure to line it with foil under the fry basket for easy cleanup. You won't regret it! Less cooking time and less oil." —Reb Mar Fue
