Jisulife review: Ultra1 Handheld Fan outdoors

If you had told me a year ago that I’d willingly vouch for a $100 portable fan, I’d have laughed. Loudly. But here I am, six months into owning the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra1, and dare I say – it’s one of the best lifestyle gadgets I’ve added to my everyday carry. Credit goes to my boyfriend for gifting it after witnessing the meltdown I had with my old $8 Taobao fan.

So, what makes the JisuLife Ultra1 Handheld Fan so good? Here’s my candid review after half a year of real-world use, travel, and surviving heatwaves.

JisuLife Ultra 1 vs. Ultra 2 Portable Fan: Should you upgrade?
So… was it worth the $100 price tag? Well, it’s now $73.

My JisuLife review at a glance: 4.8 stars out of 5

Criteria Score My personal opinion
Functionality 5 Extremely versatile – works as a portable fan, hair-drying solution, and even a blower for clearing debris off small surfaces like keyboards.
User experience 4.5  Very intuitive and easy to use, though it has a few quirks. Getting my hair caught in it was no joke.
Performance 5 Powerful airflow for such a compact device. Fan speed 50 is more than enough, even on a scorching day outdoors.
Battery life 5 Impressive battery longevity, easily lasts all day with intermittent use.
Design & build quality 5 Sleek, modern design with a solid, durable build. The included lanyard is a great touch for portability.
Value for money 4.5 The price is steep for a fan, as cheaper options exist under $10. However, this is a worthwhile investment given its multi-functionality and durability.

First impressions: Unboxing a fan that feels… premium?

jisulife review : unboxing the jisulife ultra 1 handheld fan

Unboxing the JisuLife portable fan felt a bit like unboxing an Apple product. Everything is neatly packed and feels like it’s been designed with intention. Inside the box, you get:

  • The Ultra1 handheld fan 
  • Two nozzle attachments
  • A stand
  • USB-A and USB-C cables
  • A cleaning brush
  • Lanyard strap
  • A small manual that you’ll probably toss (but should skim, just in case)

What I loved about the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra1 – More than I expected

The first thing that struck me about the JisuLife Ultra1 was how solid it felt in my hand. Unlike the plastic-y, flimsy fans I’d used before, this one has a clean metallic finish that’s surprisingly lightweight yet sturdy. It fits nicely in my Caseharden bag without adding bulk, which is a win for me since I’m usually lugging around a million things.

Beyond looks, what really won me over was how functional it is. The design feels intentional, like someone really thought about how people use portable fans and made it better.

Power you can feel (and see)

You know those basic fans with just a single speed button? I always find myself guessing which speed I’m on, and sometimes I accidentally turn the fan off when I’m just trying to make it blow a little harder. It’s annoying.

Jisulife review: Easy to adjust fan speed

The JisuLife Ultra1 is nothing like that. Instead of buttons, it has a smooth scroll wheel that lets you adjust the breeze exactly how you want it, from a gentle whir that sounds a bit like your laptop when it’s overheating, all the way up to a powerful gust that feels like a mini engine roaring to life. I really appreciate how easy it is to find just the right setting, especially when the weather is unpredictable.

JisuLife Speed 1

JisuLife Speed 100
Jisulife fan operating at maximum speed (100%).

When cranked to the max, the fan blasts wind at up to 19 metres per second, which is apparently similar to a force 8 gale. To put it simply, it’s powerful enough to blow your hair back and make you feel like you’re standing in front of a mini hurricane. Perfect for those unbearable hot days when a little breeze just won’t cut it. 

And there’s a nifty digital screen right on the fan that shows your current wind speed and how much battery life you have left. No guessing games. Just a glance, and you know exactly how much cool air you’ve got left before it needs a charge.

Battery life that keeps up with my day

JisuLife review: battery longevity

Battery life is a big deal for me — I hate the idea of my fan dying in the middle of the day, especially when I’m out and about in the heat. The JisuLife Ultra1 has a 9000mAh battery, which sounds like a lot (and it really is). The brand says it lasts about 6.5 hours on a full charge, and from my experience, that’s pretty accurate.

I took this fan on a recent trip to Ho Chi Minh City, where the heat and humidity are no joke. I used it on and off all day, and when I checked the battery at the end, I still had around 20% left. That gave me so much peace of mind as I don’t need to ration my fan time. 

Charging is straightforward too, with both USB-A and USB-C cables included. So, you can charge it with pretty much any charger or power bank you have on hand – no need to carry a special cable just for this fan.

Attachments that actually do something 

Okay, confession: when I first saw the nozzle attachments, I thought, “They looked a bit extra.” But I ended up using them anyway.

jisulife review: tapered round nozzle

There’s a tapered round nozzle that’s perfect for blowing dust out of small, hard-to-reach places. My boyfriend used it to clean out dust from his PC’s CPU, and it worked like a charm. The dust literally flew out in seconds. Just a heads-up, though – do this near your dustbin or a drain unless you want to clean up your whole floor afterwards!

jisulife review: mini hair dryer nozzle

The second attachment looks like a mini hairdryer nozzle, designed to help dry surfaces or water stains. I haven’t tested this one extensively, and since the fan only blows cold air, I’m not totally convinced it’s a miracle worker for drying. But it’s a thoughtful extra that might come in handy sometimes.

JisuLife portable fan stand

There’s also a stand so you can use the fan hands-free on a desk or vanity table. I like the idea, but when the fan runs at higher speeds, the stand tends to vibrate, which makes the whole setup pretty noisy. I once tried using it while I was doing my makeup and gave up halfway through because the buzzing was distracting.

Portability & everyday use: Perfect for life on the go

JisuLife lanyard

Despite packing all these features, the Ultra1 is still compact enough to carry around every day. It slips into my travel bag easily, and the lanyard strap comes in handy when I want to keep it close and avoid dropping it (which I have almost done a few times already).

It’s a bit heavier than the tiny plastic fans I’m used to, but the quality and power it offers make up for that extra weight. Honestly, the fan feels like a sturdy little gadget that’s made to last.

The one big trade-off: Noise

Now, I won’t sugarcoat it — this fan is definitely loud. Once you crank it past 10%, it lets out a noticeable roar that’s hard to ignore. I’ve tried using it on public transport, but I get so many side-eyes that I end up turning it off pretty quickly.

If you’re hoping to use it in quiet areas like co-working spaces or home cafes, be prepared to keep it low or risk disturbing those around you. It’s the price you pay for power — the louder it is, the stronger the breeze.

Oh, and the weird little quirks

Aside from the noise, I’ve noticed a couple of odd quirks over time. Occasionally, when I press the power button, the fan hesitates for a moment before reaching its full speed, almost like it needs a second to get going. It’s not a major issue, but it’s something to be aware of. 

Another thing to note (from personal experience): Be careful with loose hair or clothing. I’ve had my hair get caught in the fan once, and untangling it was not fun. Just a heads-up to avoid the same mistake. Other than these minor hiccups, the fan still performs reliably overall.

JisuLife Ultra 1 vs. Ultra 2 Portable Fan: Should you upgrade?

Ever since the Ultra 1 blew up online, JisuLife decided to drop the Ultra 2. The biggest upgrade? It now comes with a built-in directional flashlight. Whether you’re digging through a dark bag or walking at night, it’s surprisingly useful – and it has four brightness modes. The new honeycomb air inlet is detachable, which means cleaning it isn’t a nightmare anymore. They’ve also improved the magnetic nozzle, so it snaps on more securely (no more fiddling to line it up). 

But the Ultra 2 isn’t just about hardware tweaks. It also packs one of the most underrated perks: doubling as a portable charger, perfect when your phone’s at 5%. And if you’ve ever had your fan accidentally turn on in your bag, there’s now a safety lock to prevent that. Basically, it’s still the same fan, just smarter and more everyday-friendly.

Feature Ultra 1  Ultra 2 
Flashlight Ambient light (3 modes) Built-in directional flashlight (4 settings)
Air inlet Fixed Detachable honeycomb inlet (easy to clean)
Nozzle ABS plastic nozzle Upgraded magnetic nozzle
Portable charger No Doubles up as a power bank
Safety lock No Yes – prevents accidental activation
Battery life Up to 6.5 hours Up to 25 hours
Noise level Louder at high settings Slightly quieter
Weight 315g 295g

So… was it worth the $100 price tag? Well, it’s now $73. 

Absolutely! At $73*, the JisuLife Ultra 1 is a solid investment. When it was originally priced at $100, it felt a bit on the higher side for a portable fan, but at this price, it’s a much better deal. If you’re thinking about upgrading to the Ultra 2, it’s currently going for around $105 — not too far off from the Ultra 1’s launch price — and it does come with a few nice upgrades.

Still, if you already carry a power bank and don’t mind a little white noise (plus a few looks when you’re using it outside), the JisuLife Ultra 1 remains one of the best portable fans on the market. Of course, staying cool in Singapore’s heat isn’t just about what you bring in your bag. Our guide to the best standing fans has stylish and powerful options suitable for your home.
