> 3 dayI get hot, in a sweaty, uncomfortable, are you ok? kind of way. I saw a lady who was, likely, in her third trimester of pregnancy in a store wearing a neck fan. Typical hot summer, and she was likely overly hot with the pregnancy. Been there. Not fun. But her neck fan was an awesome idea, and, where do you go to find something thats not likely in a store nearby? Well, Amazon! My search showed that there were a lot of neck fans to choose from, so I needed to find features that I liked. I thought a fan was nice, but then this unit was also an air conditioner with a cooling plate on the back. That seemed intriguing, and possibly worth the higher price. I could return the item, so I decided to purchase with little to lose. I read reviews and found that most were positive; the negative reviews seemed to be more user issues or misunderstandings of product features. I received the item and found it came with a soft slipcover case and charging cord. I charged it up and read the directions. After charging I turned on the unit. The unit starts up with a low fan, with each time pressing the button the fan increases: first low, then medium, then high, then off. Each fan setting was nice, though I felt that low was very comfortable. Then I turned on the air conditioner or cooling plate on the neck nape section. To turn on the cooling plate, I turn on the unit then hold down the button to turn on the cooling plate. I found that reaching the button while the unit was on wasnt comfortable for me. The button is in a suitable place, and I use the L-R directions to put the unit on my left and right sides, but I find its easier for me to remove the unit to turn it off and on. Itd be awesome if the unit could be controlled with a smartphone/bluetooth. Turning on the cooling plate and setting it on my neck, I can instantly feel the cold plate, and it feels soooooooo nice! I dont know how I can measure to cool down by 18°F in 3 second, but I believe it. I really get hot and flushed sometimes, and I turn this on and turn on the cool plate. Its cooling me down *as soon as* I put it on. It does work and it works *fast*! I like that the fan is bladeless, so my longer hair does not get tangled up on this unit. There are three things Im not liking about this unit: 1) I would like the cooling plate on without the fan; 2) I would like to have the battery last longer; and 3) I would like to have the fan be a little lower/adjustable as to air direction. As for 1), the product questions, the manufacturer addresses this issue, saying the two work together. As for 2), I really havent had the battery die on me. I didnt address battery life, but, with the cooling plate, I understand it only lasts about TWO HOURS. I dont use it that long, so battery life just isnt an issue for me! As for 3), Im still on the fence as to whether this is an issue for me or not. If Im hot, the air is helpful to provide some air movement around my face/head to cool me off. I suppose itd be nice to be able to adjust where the air flows on the unit somewhat, but, ultimately, this is something that Im okay with because Im highly satisfied with the unit. So, all in all, theres some negative reviews on this product, and the price point is higher for it, which is another detraction. But, my experience with this unit is that it works fantastic and does what it says. I am not sure if I (yet) get hot flashes, but this unit cools me down when I get overheated. I dont use it at the gym/workout, as Im not sure how it could handle my sweaty workouts, but Ive been tempted to try it! I also dont use it all the time, so I have not challenged the battery life, but, really, my use of this product wont be to test its limits. As for rating it for travel: I havent traveled with it, yet, but I intend to use it the next time I travel. All in all, this product does what it says it does. I love it so much, I am tempted to buy the Coolify 2 since it has two cooling plates and can provide heat, too. This product is worth it!

Greater than one weekI received the coolify personal air condition at it looks amazing. Its like something from a sci-fi movie. Unfortunately, the one I received malfunctioned. I contacted customer services and Bonnie replied promptly. Bonnie even called me LONG DISTANCE from China to speak to me. She was very polite and extremely knowledgeable. She made sure to address all my concerns. Great product and AMAZING customer service! If youre looking for a personal cooling unit, this is the best. Especially since they guarantee their product. Once again, thank you Bonnie :)

> 3 dayLiving in humid Florida when the temps reach 96 easily in June, it is great to put this around my neck and turn it on even when outside talking to a neighbor or coming inside from the heat. When doing yard work it is perfect. On the coolest setting it will last two hours. I also bought the newest product which heats as well as cools and I can charge it up too so that I can alternate them and have a full 4 hours worth of battery on the coolest setting. Since we are now expecting blackouts and brownouts due to the war on fossil fuels, I am preparing just like I would for a hurricane power outage because the temps will be too dangerous without this at my side. In winter, I can turn on the one that has heat because power bills are going to skyrocket now and this will save money. Just keep it charged up at all times to ensure you have it ready.

> 3 dayGot this fan to keep me cool around the office, and when I am doing yard work. The new office dont have any air flow especially when the door is close. The cooling mode is also great when you first get in the car before the AC really kicks in. Also great if its less than 90° outside and you need to get some yard work done like mowing the lawn. If its too hot outside, its just going to blow hot air in your face. However, the cooling mode does help while its on. For the purpose I bought it for, I am happy with the product. The only issue I have is it not having something there to keep it on your shoulder. I would love to have it on me while I go jogging in the morning. It sits pretty comfortably on my shoulder when I am sitting or walking around. Some sort of strap or a device that would keep it secure on you would be great.

> 3 dayAbsolutely LOVE this! Im sensitive to heat & living in Hot Georgia this is ESSENTIAL for me. However, after 15mo of DAILY use, within a day the medal strip that gets cold bubbled up in one corner & started burning. Looks like battery acid did it. Had to throw it away, but Ill still be buying a new one, I Love it THAT much! I just hate to spend another $149

> 3 dayThis is literally the best purchase I’ve made in my whole life. I have a huge fear of heat and the summer gives me so much anxiety but when I wear this I feel like I can breath again. Sure some days are just plain old Mojave style but for the most part this keeps me so gratefully cooled. The only reason I didn’t 5 star everything is in hopes for an improvement in battery life but also I assume the higher priced portable ac’s have a better battery. The weight is light considering this amazing amenity you now have, but of course could be a bit lighter

Greater than one weekThis was a good purchase. I read the other reviews and watched the videos, so I had some idea of what to expect. The Air Conditioning chip works well--it cools quickly. In high-speed mode, it is moving a fair amount of air--so it cools well, but it is also noisy. I say this because it didnt bother me at all, but my daughter is more sensitive than I am, and she found it to be loud. For me, when I am outside on the deck or in the garden, this really does help. I do not expect to run the Air Conditioning chip for more than 10-15 minutes at a time--it has to shut off to shed internal heat. And while that is happening, the AC panel is still cold for a while, and the blower still helps. So, you let it sit for 25-30 minutes and use it again. All-in-all, I like it.
