Lower your electricity bill this summer with cool spot fan

0 Comments

In Japan, summer and winter bring a noticeable spike in electricity bills. The sweltering heat and bitter cold can make blasting air conditioning and heating feel like necessities, but the costs can quickly add up. From July to September, humidity can make even moderate temperatures feel oppressive, so it’s crucial to find ways to stay cool without breaking the bank. Simple changes like using UV block curtains or switching to linen bedding can help make summer in Japan just a little more bearable.

If you want to save on your electricity bills this summer, then consider the USB Spot Ice Fan by Thanko. It’s a compact cooling device that blows cold air using a frozen water bottle placed inside the fan base. It creates a chill similar to an air conditioner but without the added expense. This USB Type-C powered fan is compatible with mobile batteries, so you can take it with you wherever you go this summer. The fan has three settings and is easy to use. Since it doesn’t require installation, it’s ideal for renters. Available for ¥6,900 on the online Thanko store.
