> 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!

> 3 dayAlthough the colder air conditioning is concentrated at the neck contacts it helps evaporated the perspiration on my face making it possible to work in the hotter climes for a longer time. Recharging is quite short.

> 3 dayI got it because I work outside in the south. I still sweat profusely but it makes me not wanna kill myself. Very durable too. Doesnt actually blow out cool air. The metal plate gets cold on your neck though. About to get one for my mom!!

> 3 dayI hate being hot. There’s nothing worse than feeling sweaty on the back of my neck because it makes everywhere else in my body feel sweaty and hot. I had no idea this product even existed until I saw someone use it! That being said, this thing works in temps around mid 80’s where you want to just be comfortable outside. Anything above that, this thing just seems to circulate hot air. It’s lightweight enough for my 20 month old to wear. She loves it and I love when she agrees to keep it on Bc I worry when my baby gets too hot. Overall, this is a useful product. I hear what others are saying about this item being overpriced for what the parts are individually sold for, but let’s be honest. I wouldn’t know how to make one of these from scratch!

21-11-2024I just received this in the mail today. I was getting ready to use it and was peeling off the “Getting Started Quick Guide” and as you can see it started to pull off the gold paint. For something that costs this much, something as cheap as adhesive should not pull off paint. It makes me wonder if the rest of the item is built cheaply. Hmmm? My impressions right now are more guarded and waiting to see what else will go wrong. This is not a good way to start. I am also wondering if I should just return it for a refund. Sigh. I was looking to be impressed, but wasn’t.

> 3 dayWorked fine. Bought it for Motley Crue Stadium Tour Concert. Was in the heat from 3pm til 11pm. Used it on and off. Was 105 degrees on the field. Definitely helped keep somewhat cool. Air was not real cool in that heat but any air was welcomed. Recommend buying.

> 3 dayBought this for a Europe trip from the states. Used it on the flights, subways, and trains. I was nervous about the price, but now that I’ve used the item I recommend it even at this price point. Although I’ve never purchased a cheaper model/brand so I don’t have experience there. The sound was not noticeable to others around me in the situations mentioned. I usually ran it on the 2nd speed. No one looked at me funny while using it… looks like I’m just wearing headphones. The cooling plate worked as described. Held the charge for decent lengths of time and easy to recharge. Great when I was wearing a face mask to keep cool. I’ll always be traveling with this from now on. My husband liked to use it as well. Great for crowded, stuffy situations.

> 3 dayI have only had this a few days, but so far, it’s pretty wonderful!! Totally expected it to be subpar, but is maybe the best purchase I’ve made in a while. Works like it’s advertised. Might have to buy a few more of these. Definitely recommend this!!
