Rogbid has introduced the Breeze, a portable fan that stands out from typical handheld models with its full metal aluminum-alloy body and built-in active cooling system. The device is priced at $40.
At the center of the fan is a semiconductor cooling plate based on a Peltier element. When a dedicated mode is enabled, the plate’s surface cools quickly, allowing the device to be placed against the skin for faster temperature relief.
Airflow comes from a proprietary motor that reaches up to 13,000 rpm and drives a seven-blade impeller. Instead of a handful of fixed presets, Rogbid uses a stepless control wheel with 199 power levels. A small display shows both the selected speed and the battery’s exact charge level.
The Rogbid Breeze includes a 6,000mAh battery and charges over USB-C. Its hinged design lets the head tilt up to 145 degrees, so it can also work as a desktop fan.

Rogbid also built a carabiner into the bottom of the handle for attaching the fan to a backpack or belt. The device additionally includes an LED flashlight with three modes: standard lighting, SOS, and strobe.
