Review: Verbatim's portable battery-powered fan with USB-C, display and water tank

Verbatim will soon launch a new portable fan, the Cool 'n' Go Aqua Breeze. It is one of several new products in this segment, the expansion of which the company announced at IFA 2025. The company was pleasantly surprised by the subsequent demand, and by the end of the season, the first products were practically sold out.

We were able to try out the Cool 'n' Go Aqua Breeze at Computex Taipei. At our request, the model was filled with water. Unfortunately, it was difficult to gauge the noise level in the noisy hall. In any case, the noise level can be limited thanks to the many speed settings available via a slider, whose status can be seen on the display. In a direct comparison with the Nitecore Izzcool 10 Pro, which we had to purchase in Asia since it isn’t available in Europe, the Verbatim fan seemed slightly quieter while delivering comparable airflow.

The water supply has been significantly improved, as the tank is positioned around the fan. Gravity assists in this process. However, with a 50 ml capacity, the mist spray is unlikely to last very long, especially in continuous mode. Verbatim specifies a runtime of 60 minutes here. Alternatively, a pulsating mode, similar to the Nitecore model, is also available. Experience has shown this to be more effective, as cooling through evaporation is more efficient during short pauses.

Verbatim has not yet provided any information on battery life. The device is charged via USB-C on the back. Overall, we liked the new model. It has good features, the water tank design is likely better than on our Nitecore model, and we were quite pleased with the airflow in view of its compact dimensions.

The new fans are currently on their way to the European warehouse, as Verbatim informed us, and are expected to be available in June 2026. Information on price is still pending.
