Dyson has a solid reputation for making all kinds of vacuums, fans and purifiers—they’re stylish and powerful. But most of them are larger appliances with equally sized price tags. For something a bit different, Dyson has launched a new device, the HushJet Mini Cool, a battery-powered handheld fan you can take anywhere. It will launch today at 11 am EST.

And it’s only $99. For sure, it’s the cheapest Dyson gadget ever and an unusually approachable offering from a company known for its luxe products. Is it a recession indicator? Perhaps most impressively, the HushJet is even more affordable than the Shark ChillPill, a new portable fan released earlier this spring by one of Dyson’s biggest rivals.

Does this mean Americans might finally come around to the idea of a personal fan? They’re huge in Asia, of course. I see them all the time around Tokyo.

According to the specs that Engadget got, the HushJet weighs only 7.5 ounces—less than many pairs of over-ear headphones—and measures 1.5 inches in diameter—easy to hold or hang around one’s neck. The compact motor spins at up to 65,000 RPM, producing airflow speeds of up to a whopping 80 feet per second (or 55 miles per hour). The fan offers five airflow speeds and a “Boost” mode for an extra blast of air. It lasts up to six hours on the lowest speed setting and charges to full battery in about three hours.

At the top of the HushJet Mini Cool is a nozzle that can be rotated to direct air straight upward, or at an angle. The Verge says “it’s reminiscent of the unpleasant business end of a sea lamprey, but its unique shape is designed to dampen higher-pitched frequencies so the fan is easier on the ears.” We can appreciate that, right?

The two-week agreement to halt U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran was already under threat from multiple directions on Wednesday. Iran accused the United States of violating the ceasefire. Israel carried out widespread strikes in Lebanon. Iran conducted retaliatory attacks in the Persian Gulf region. And traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains at a standstill.

Iran is even threatening to withdraw from peace talks, less than 24 hours since Trump announced the ceasefire. As of now, the two sides are slated to begin talks in Pakistan tomorrow. The president’s declaration of “total victory” in Iran left some close allies and several senior aides worried that he is overstating what is obviously a fragile cease-fire with Tehran. He’s been advised that Iran still retains dangerous military capabilities, according to multiple officials.

“It’s going to be a very messy, imperfect cease-fire,” said Suzanne Maloney, an Iran expert and vice president at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution in Washington. “But my sense is that both sides want to at least test what’s possible at the negotiating table.” Among the concerns by aides is that Iran was unlikely to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without significant concessions, which Trump was unlikely to grant. That gridlock could result in a resumption in fighting.

Earlier this year, Amazon threatened to cut U.S. Postal Service deliveries by as much as two thirds. Now, the parties have reached tentative a deal that will see USPS deliveries reduced by 20%, The Wall Street Journal reports. While not as drastic as first menaced, the reduced volume will still deal a financial blow to the USPS.

Did you know that Amazon is the USPS’s largest customer? They currently account for about 15% of its volume and $6 billion in revenue. A two-thirds cut would have been a disaster for the USPS, but a 20% reduction could result in more than $1 billion in lost revenue nonetheless. Amazon would have needed to scramble as well, as it relies heavily on the post office for rural and last-mile deliveries.

Under the new agreement, mail carriers would still deliver more than 1 billion packages for Amazon a year. The Postal Service currently delivers 1.7 billion packages a year, David Steiner, the postmaster general, said in an interview with Reuters in December. However, the Postal Service is in a precarious financial situation, having reported a $9 billion yearly loss in November. Steiner said at a hearing last month that the agency could run out of cash within a year with no major changes and asked lawmakers to increase its borrowing limits.
