TORRAS COOLIFY 2 Neck Air Conditioner - Rechargeable Bladeless Cooling & Heating Neck Fan with 9 Modes & 3 Speeds, LED Display, Wrap-around Design for Outdoor Sports, Office & Home Use (Starry Black)

For anyone that has lived thru a Southeast summer, you know there is nothing hotter and damper than maybe the devil's armpits. So it goes without question if you can find any advantage in this ever enduring battle, you will be willing to take it. That's where the Coolify2 comes in. It does what it does extremely well. The model I have is the extended battery model. Out of the box, I plugged it in to cap off a full charge and tested the fan to see if it really lasted as long as the specs online said. I was happy to determine it does. I went on to test the cool setting duration, and was equally happy to see it lasted as long. It would be a couple months before I could test the heat functions, as I had to wait for an Alabama Summer to end. However, when the time came, my device's heat function worked perfectly.The fan function does a good job cooling you, especially when indoors. Imagine it as a fine tuner of ambient temperature. Outdoors can be a bit more complicated. The fan function works well up to a point. Once it gets around 93 F, the fan function just blows the hot ambient air around. The cool function works well in this condition, but even it has some drawbacks, as sweat will make wearing the Coolify uncomfortable. As long as you can run the cold function and stay dry, it works well. The heat function is where the Coolify2 really shines. If you've ever had to endure sharing a room, be it at work or at home, with someone that apparently believes the AC should be on even in the winter when it's cold outside - - This device will be a godsend. Oh and if you are one of those people, especially if you ask questions like, "Oh, are you cold?" The answer is "Yes." Why would you even ask that? You just witnessed me shivering and saw my breath. Anyway. The heat function works amazingly. Just the right amount of heat directly to your neck to cut through the cold. Now that I've finished fanboying the Coolify2 I should give you some warnings. This isn't so much a Cons to the Pros I put forward, but more of a Don't Do list. The plastic molding of the device can be brittle. Be mindful of that, it doesn't affect how well the device works, but you do want to maintain the device as long as possible. While the middle of the device is made of a flexible rubber, that rubber is connected to the same thin plastic. Therefore, it can flex and bend just like it does in the advertisement. However, I would recommend not doing that though as it is only so many times it can be stressed before the connecting frame will crack and break. So keep in mind, only open it as much as you need to put it on. I personally slide mine on from the side of my neck and spin it around into the proper position. Also, Torras gave you a case, be sure to use it. When you can, be sure to charge the device on the floor to reduce chances of it falling to the ground. If you don't already own a fast charger, you will want one. I've gone from 0% charge to 100% in about an hour using mine.Last but not least, if you do run into problems early on, be sure to contact Torras' customer support ASAP. My experience with them has been very helpful. Just be sure to be thorough when describing your issue, and keep up with your receipt information. In my case I pointed out the cracking issue I had been having and they took care of things for me. I purchased mine from Amazon so all of my details were easily accessible. Also, if you can, it doesn't hurt to buy a warranty plan. This is an investment into your well being, so the extra expense is worth it just in case. Shout out to Winky, great customer service. I hope this helps you decide if you would like a Coolify2. I give it two thumbs up.
