(SPOT.ph) Brownouts are inevitable during the rainy season. The power can go out for as long as a few hours or even a few days, at most. Despite the cold rains and winds, it won't do much when you're trying to sleep during a brownout at night. It'll be hot and uncomfortable without a fan, not to mention all the pesky mosquitos feasting on you like they're at a buffet.

In times like these, it's always a good thing to have portable and rechargeable fans in your home. After all, we won't say no to cool wind, even if it's the cold season. We listed down a few you might want to invest in.
