> 3 dayYes I am a little upset at paying $150 for one that acts exactly the same as the $35 one! If you get the fan really cold to begin with meaning a metal plate on the back of it that touches your neck… Then it works a lot better and it’s actually cold… But otherwise it moves air just like all the rest of them do… I bought a $35 one to begin with and then bought this one to see if it was any better and apparently I like wasting my money lol that does it mean I won’t use it because I will … I live in South Texas where it is so hot and humid it’s necessary that’s for sure but I would never never pay $150 for it again!

Greater than one weekI 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!!

> 3 dayI got this because I got tired of fooling around with cheaper alternatives (Ill admit getting my tax refund helped in the decision). I have no tolerance for the heat. In fact, Ive decided this year that outdoors is bad and I have no reason to go out there (not even with this as protection). As other reviewers have noted, this doesnt feel like AC. It feels like a cool washcloth on your neck, minus the moisture. Which is still preferable to the cheaper fans that only blow existing warm air on you. Its quiet enough to wear while I work on the computer. This might seem a bit overpriced, but it is very heavy and well made, with what feels like ceramic and metal rather than plastic. It feels like an appliance, not an accessory. I still feel its a bit overpriced, but when youve had it with the heat, money feels like less of a consideration.

> 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 dayIt does get cold and you can feel it as soon as it starts but what I didnt relize is it will work good outside of your standing still or doing the garden but I got grass and walk all around and it seems to not keep me as cool as I thought it would. When Im walking around or using weedeater Im not feeling the coldness. Iknow its working. But Im still dripping

> 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 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

> 3 dayIt fits right to your neck and has the ability to change how it fits to your neck. It has fans facing up and down and a cooking in the back it’s incredible. I run hot and this by far was worth every Penny!!!!

> 3 dayThis is hands down the best neck fan. My only criticism is I wish I could activate the cooling metal conductor on the lowest setting. Thats why Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5. But other than that Im all set with my neck cooling device for the summer on very hot days. Im a gymnastics coach and going to use this while spotting my gymnasts on hot days only.
