One design can be fitted over the back of the front seats and plugged into the car’s 12v power socket to work on keeping the inside of a vehicle from getting too hot.
They also have suckers at the back so they can be stuck to almost anywhere in the car.
It also claims to be great for removing dust and unwanted odours and can also be used to remove moisture from the inside of the windshield on cold days.
The speed of the rotating fans can also be regulated so the perfect conditions can be established.
They’re designed to fit most cars, big or small, as well as SUV and vans – as long as they have the 12v socket.
The gadget can be slotted over the seat’s headrest and secured with a swivel nut at the bottom.
The four-inch fan heads can turn 360 degrees and rotate in any direction.
Amazon is currently selling the fans for £30.99.
Customers have been going wild for it with 58 per cent of all the 883 reviews so far giving it five stars.
Overall, it has an average rating of 4.1 out of 5.
One happy reviewer said: “I usually have the air con on, which wastes so so much petrol. Since using this (all day today) – my petrol miles haven’t gone down any more than it would with no air con. It’s fab – and it’s felt like I’ve had the air con on, too!
“100 per cent recommend this product and this seller. Will definitely be using this instead of my air con for now on! I love it.”
Another wrote: “The fan is a great size for the rear of a car for the comfort of my dog. It’s quiet enough with variable speed.
“Long lead donor suctions or rear window to face the boot and opens easily. I’ve also used it in the rear of the camper for passengers in the back to help get the air con in the rear too.
“Top speed is good to add a nice breeze the lower speed good just to tick over to aid ventilation. Very happy with it so far and a good price too for what you get.”
A third added: “Good fan to fix on rear of a seat , easy to install.”
However, not everyone was satisfied, one buyer who gave a one star review said: “It is very basically made and only blows a small amount of WARM air at you, better off just opening the window.”
Another reviewer, who gave the fan three stars said she had returned the product adding: “Strong little fan but I didn’t get any benefit from it as it just blew the hot air at my face at speed. Worth a shot though, and would definitely recommend if it’s only needed to circulate air.”
A TikTok user known as ‘Kerchinar’ also got in on the act showing her car fan to her 143,000 followers.
Taking to the social media site she described the fans as “insane,” adding that they didn’t even have children.
In the brief clip the TikToker demonstrated how it could be easily set up and provided breeze to keep everyone cool.
