I've already written about how the Iris Woozoo fan helped save my sheets during this summer's relentless heat waves. And now that we've entered back-to-school shopping season, I wanted to give this fan another shoutout, as it's on sale at Walmart (and Best Buy).

You can find a ton of dorm room essentials, fun decor, and just plain fun products on sale right now. For more recommendations, check out our back-to-school guide for college students. If you're putting together a shopping list, then I highly recommend adding the Woozoo fan.

I got this globe fan as a birthday gift, and it's helped me survive a particularly hot and humid summer in Brooklyn, New York. My dad picked this up after hearing my college-aged cousins rave about it, and Reddit is full of testimonials from college students (and college parents) who are equally enthusiastic. Why do I love this fan?

It's surprisingly strong, quiet, and compact, and I can see why it would be so useful in a dorm room. It's got some cool additional features, such as a sleep timer, a remote control, and a natural breeze setting, which I haven't seen before. The globe shape helps it fit into small spaces, and the oscillation and adjustable speeds let you quickly cool off a small space like a dorm, bedroom, or home office.

You can currently find the best price on the Woozoo fan at Walmart, where it's listed for $39.97, a $10 discount from the usual retail price. Best Buy also has this fan on sale, though for a whopping 2 cents higher price. Amazon also has other Woozoo fans on sale, but none of its deals beat this Walmart Rollback.
