TORRAS COOLIFY 2 Neck Air Conditioner - 3-Speed Bladeless Cooling Neck Fan with LED Display, Rechargeable Portable Personal Fan for Indoor/Outdoor Use, Wrap-around Design for Office, Gym, Travel & Home Comfort in Arctic White

EDIT: Updating review with more details. Stars remain the same, although I'd bump it to 3.75 if I could.TORRAS asked me to give their 5000 mah "Extended Battery" version a try. Note that they DID NOT ask for me to upgrade the rating, they just wanted to try and make it work for me. For the most part, it works like the 4000 mah versions and thus, the ORIGINAL REVIEW stands, just with an average of an extra 30 minutes to an hour depending on operating mode.After several full charges and use discharges over the course of 2 weeks, this is the average operational time of the 5000 mah version:Cooling/Heating 1 = ~4 Hours and 30-ish minutes.Cooling/Heating 2 = ~3 Hours and 10-ish minutes.Cooling/Heating 3 = ~2 Hours and 20-ish minutes.Fan 1 = Nearly 20 Hours.Fan 2 = ~14 Hours.Fan 3 = ~8 Hours.Charge Time from 0 to 100 = Slightly above 2 Hours.One minor feature that is unique to the Extended Version but, no offense to TORRAS, is kind of useless outside of testing, is that the metal plates of the 5000 mah Version do color change from brown to black as they cool. It would have been a neater novelty if part of the exterior color-changed based on temperature, even if it's just 2 small sections on the tips of the blowers, such that one can glance down and see what mode they're on (if the wearer gets used to the white noise from the air flow and fans).--ORIGINAL REVIEW:This review is over my thoughts concerning this portable neck cooler.Build Quality - 5Packaging - 5Battery Life - 1Cooling - 3Fan Noise - 4/4/2 (Low/Middle/High Speed)Comfort - 5TORRAS Customer Support - 5Overall, I like the concept and the quality of this neck cooler (and heater). It feels well-made and to some degree moisture resistant. The blowers at all levels provide a good amount of air upwards like an air curtain, while the Peltier cooling plates provided some notable cooling (and heating). It has what amounts to 9 modes; Cooling Levels 1-3, Fan-Only 1-3, and Heating 1-3, making it a rather impressive unit for moderately cold and moderately warm weather. Comfort-wise, I almost forgot I had it on, until it died from running out of battery and the plates quickly became warmer than my body temperature.------However, there are 2 very major issues I could not reconcile with and the reason why I returned this item.- The first, and the biggest, issue in my opinion, is the inability to use the neck cooler while it's plugged into a larger battery bank, as even on the lowest Cooling setting (Fan + Cooling Plates), it barely made it to 2 Hours. The moment the device is plugged in, it will turn off. I also own a cheap Chinese neck cooler with a far smaller cooling plate and 2 conventional fans, and it can work off both its built-in battery, and while plugged in to a battery bank, or a charger, or a laptop.- The second biggest issue is that the cooling plates don't get as cold as I'd hoped; having tested them at work where the AC unit in my work area is perpetually broken and it can get pretty humid. It was cool enough to avoid sweating for a bit, but even on the highest setting, the plates seemed to have trouble getting enough air blown across the heatsinks that aid in the Peltier Effect, with much of that air instead going towards the "air curtains" that blow up and around the head.I really wanted to love this item and keep it, but the above 2 points were the biggest deal-breakers. If I can't keep it powered to last me a typical 8-12h work day, and only able to last 2 hours on the lowest Cold or Heat setting before needing a recharge for an hour or so, it just isn't worth the investment.------For comparison's sake, I also own a number of other cooling devices:- Sony Reon 2 w/ Accessories (Imported)- Generic Chinese Neck Cooling Fan (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089LM5DDJ)- Japanese? Neck Peltier Cooling Plate (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097PD69CM)- The Sony Reon 2 I bought from Japan for similar cost does more than the Coolify2, in the sense that it also uses the Peltier effect to provide heating or cooling of the body, but does so by cooling the primary blood vessels running down the back and letting that slightly lower total body temperature. The issue with it is more that you need to own one of the semi-fitted shirts that this would fit into, as the neck accessory raises it too high and doesn't keep it pressed firmly against the back. As well, one has to download the app from a trusted app store (on Android). But the biggest advantage that I love is that it can work with an L-shaped connector attached to a battery, and can extend its operation time. It however is an energy hog, and can actually run out of battery faster than it can keep itself charged at high settings.- Generic Chinese Cooling Fan - I left a review on that in the item's listing. But the short of it is that it works, but is somewhat flawed. I would actually rate it a bit higher than this only because it can be utilized while plugged in, extending use time.- Neck Cooling Plate - Unlike the Coolify2 and the others, it HAS NO BATTERY. It works while plugged in. In exchange however, it really cools, almost borderline uncomfortably so. The issue it has is the fans are of crappy quality and loose in their housing; one can easily here the wobbling when moving around with it on. Somewhat like the Sony Reon, it cools by cooling down the skin and blood vessels in the neck, overall inducing a "cooler" feeling.------To close, this is my little wishlist of upgrades I'd love to see in a theoretical "Coolify3".- The ability to use it while plugged in; to a battery bank, wall charger, or a laptop. This would greatly extend continuous usage of it in situations I'd likely take it through; whether it's light hiking, park walking, working, or gardening.- Improved cooling plate performance; maybe direct a bit more of the blowers' airflow towards slightly larger heatsinks, to provide a bit more cooling (and heating) power; especially in moderately humid conditions.- A "battery-less" version that gives up battery space for additional cooling performance, and requires running off some form of external power, like a battery pack, wall charger, or laptop. Maybe also include a Bluetooth module into that void that allows for linking to a mobile app, allowing for finer control over the fan speed (and corresponding cooling/heating level).I love my new neck fan as I use it just about every day. Pleased with the arrive time as it came on time. The vendor is extremely responsive and tried to mitigate an issue I thought I had . I actually misplaced my carrying case, although they could not offer a replacement case they asked if I would be open to receive an alternative bag at their cost. I thought that was a customer forward move. I did actually find my original case and first thanked them for their offer and then informed the vendor that I had located my carrying case. I use my neck fan just about each time I leave my home, hot days or not. The reason why I do is I have anxiety due to a number of tragic events. Before I leave my home I get worked up and my head heats up, as soon as I place my new neck fan on it feels like I have ice on my neck. Although my this device has higher settings I tend to use the first setting. This device immediately calms my disposition down to a point my head isn’t hot and I feel great. Now on hottie days I find while already out I will put on my neck fan and turn up the settings a second and even a third level to feel a more intense coldness on my neck. The fan output increases which is the air that is blown up towards your face, there is no separate fan control but I find that fact a non issue. In addition my neck fan has a similar fan but instead the area around my neck has heat. I haven’t used that setting yet, but after I do I will update my review. I find once on my neck this device is well secured and i actually find it comforting. In a 8 hour day this fan will last I tend to have a 30% remaining live but I carry an external charger to ensure if needed my device is ready for use. The packaging was well done secure. The box that house device is a sleek eye catching and professionally made and durable for storage for day packing when I move. The case is aerodynamically designed easy to handle. The device inside casing secure the device for minimal movement. From a scale from 1-10 with one begin low and 10 being the highest satisfaction possible I would go beyond and give it 11+I am a huge fan..... no pun intended! I own three (3) of the Torras Coolify fans. I have been suffering with hot flashes and night sweats since I was 39 years old (a long damn time)! When I found the Coolify neck fan, my prayers had been answered. They are a lightweight, low noise, hands free, personal air conditioning system that just works. This little compact device does what it says it will, all the while being very stylish and cool looking. Unfortunately, my first one broke, so I immediately ordered a new one that is still going strong to this day. Fast forward to the new model being released with the addition of a heating unit.... had to have it for the very cold winter days of West Virginia. Bought it and Love it. The company reached out to me to see how I was enjoying my new fan, when on a whim, I asked, if there was a repair service for my very first fan. This company is AMAZING... after some back and forth communication (which was pleasant and responsive) the company offered to send me a new unit even though the old one was way out of the warranty window. The replacement Coolify came lightening fast and imagine my surprise when I opened the box and it was the NEW COOLIFY 2 not the old model that was broken! ABOVE AND BEYOND! Don't walk, RUN and get yours today. The product and the company are outstanding!以前から気になっていたので、今回プライムデーのセールで安くなっていた為購入しました。届いて開封し、専用の豪華なケースやとても綺麗でしっかりとした作りの本体を手に取った時は流石に値段だけの事はある！とかなり感動モノでした。開封した時にバッテリーも70%充電されていたので早速使用してみると、心地よい風と共に冷却部分が瞬時に冷えてきて実際首に装着すると、その冷え具合に感動すらしました。しかし、数回の使用の後、再度使おうとして電源を入れると反応なし。。バッテリーが無いのかと思い充電してみると、バッテリー容量を表す%表示が点灯し60%残っているが、充電器から外して、いざ使おうとすると全く電源が入らず。。。その後も何をしても全く動作せず使い物にならない為、返品する事としました。メーカーの補償はありますが、購入して数回の使用で壊れるとは思っても見なかったですし、なんせネッククーラーの中では高額です。仮に補償で代替え品を受け取ったとしても、今後の耐久性を考えたら補償すら使う気にはなれませんでした。商品自体の性能は良いと思うだけにとても残念です。耐久性があまりにも無さすぎて個人的にはオススメできる品ではありません。どうしてもネッククーラーが欲しいなら他社の安い物で十分かと思います。冷却プレートは速攻で冷たくなって機能するのでとても良い。ここまでひえるなら、扇風機機能は無くても良いかなと思う。厚みがあるので、襟付きシャツだと第2ボタンまで空けないと首をすっぽり包めない。もう少し薄くなると嬉しい。バッテリーの持ちは感覚的に３時間くらい。仕事の移動で使う分には問題なし。こまめに充電したいけど、充電時間が長い（遅い）ので、急速充電に対応してくれると嬉しい。とはいえ、一度使うと、これ無しでの夏の外出は考えられない。汗のかき方が全然違う。高いけど買ってよかった。「保証書」が入っていないとレビューを投稿したところ、メーカーから連絡が届いた。内容によると、「カウントサービス」→「注文履歴」→「販売元」→「質問する｣で連絡すると必要時は保証が受けられるとのこと。よって評価内容を一部変更しました。空調の効いていない屋外などでは、投資効果の低い商品。空調の効いた室内、車内などでは涼しさを感じれるが、強（C3モード）で1時間ちょっとしか内蔵バッテリーが持たない。YouTubeで見つけ、ずっと気になっていましたがセールの時に遂に購入。すぐ冷えるし、すぐ温まる、ファンの音も静音でパワーも充分で、大満足です。今後、充電持ちがもっと良くなればと願っております。まず、はっきり言えることは、真夏の屋外で、この商品を使用しても『涼しくなる』ことはありません。ただ、使用していれば、いつもなら『そろそろ汗が出る頃』であっても汗をかかずに済んでいます。金額は安くありませんが、買って良かったと思える商品です。バッテリーの持ちの悪さと、送風は要らないのでもっと薄型にしてもらえたら良いのですが。。。
