Coolify 2 Review: Testing a $180 Neck Fan vs 2 Others! 

Well thanks for the lesson! At 67 and a single mom, I had to learn EVERYTHING plumbing, electrics, etc. never learned about ac but DO know swamp coolers! Good knowledge to share is much appreciated!!!!🙏🏻❤️

@@MarceloVeronezzi Yeah, the peltier plates cost around 7 bucks and the battery would be 2-3 dollars. Calling this "accurately priced" is ridiculous. At 100 bucks it would be expensive for what it is, and this is almost 2x that.

Peltier coolers are VERY cheap, WTF are you talking about. They sell for a couple of bucks per piece even in very small quantities. I'd also like to know how these neck coolers dissipate the heat from the cooling plates. It seems like it just vents out through the holes by the side of your head?

@@mariusvanc I just purchased this product and this is exactly what is wrong with it. It over heats then starts acting weird like one side is fan air only and the other side is ac fan. I think I may try to return this one and exchange for a different one to see if maybe I have a dud bc I really want this to work lol but reading your comment is where the issue is for me. It gets warm quickly too on the opposite side the cooling plates so idk

Back of the neck is the best place. 👌🏻

Someone ask for a personal discussion...may he holds the key to your question! His number is above go for it!⚘

If I was to hazard a guess, probably the risk of getting hair stuck in the fan system? All it would take is a couple of people who don't think to tie their hair up (and also have a litigious streak) to force alterations. But I do agree, cool air on the back of your neck feels great!

@@halu959986 answer: everyone just becomes bald

@@halu959986 What? The fans are in the front, they don't change position by adding additional air outlets in the back.

Hi Tim Does it feel sticky around the cooling plates I will get it for outdoor jogging in dubai and I kinda feel that it will make me sweat more because its covered with those plates and will be sticky

@@Samarequestrian so far I’ve not experienced any stickiness to my neck. The only discomfort i can nickpick is the rubber-like part at the centre joining both sides together, because after awhile it tends to feel a little warmer there due to neck heat, but not to the point of being unbearable. You only feel it if you are conscious about it. Other than that, the plates are extremely smooth even after long usage. It doesn’t really feel like aluminium or metal plates sticking to your neck although they are kinda made of metal. When on cooling mode, its cold enough to chill the parts of your neck in contact with them, that you don’t perspire much there. However in hot humid places, you will tend to have a little condensation there. I haven’t really used it for jogs since i prefer to sweat it out and have nothing restricting my freedom of movement. But the entire unit is relatively heavy compared to most neck fans. They don’t thump on your shoulders like most neck fans since it doesn’t rest on the shoulders like they do, but the weight might be a factor u wanna consider. The one good thing is part of the wind generated by the fans are directed through a different air passage inside used as cooling for the internals, the resulting warm air are then exhausted outwards through the sides, cooling the internals. thus you will never feel the heat of the unit on your neck when it works its hardest. Its a feature alot of neck fans lack, and a welcome feature in this.

Hi fellow singaporean…. isit wort it ?

@@wordofmouthspore8625 I'm using the older, original design with the single cooling plate (the original brand is WUDI IDI), and am quite happy with it. Costs $75. I'd imagine the Coolify 2 is even better with two cooling plates, though it's much pricier at $250.

Just took a look at this thing and right off the bat I know it's a failure. Why are they cooling the upper back? That's not where the major blood vessels are. You want something either wrapped around your jugular veins or under the armpits or groin. Seeing as how the later two would be very uncomfortable, that only leaves the neck area as a feasible cooling location. Anywhere else is just going to be a psychosomatic response. I think that's what Sony is going for with this product. It doesn't actually cool your body. It's just tricking your nerves into thinking it's getting cooled. In other words, it's probably more gimmick than science. But, hey, if it helps people tolerate the heat in an inexpensive package, who am I to judge?

@@MikeTrieu Nice try throwing around big words, but the cooling effect is 100% the same, doesn't matter if it is applied to your left earlobe or your right toe. Cooling isn't something magical. And even if it's just "psychosomatic response", isn't that already enough to sweat less and to feel more comfortable? So, job well done.

Hi, the Reon does not have a fan. It's just a cooling plate on your upper back.

​@@yuzhouxie9394 it actually does have a fan for the intake and exhaust, otherwise it wouldn't cool very well cause it's the same concept as the coolify

This might lead to skin cancer pal.. check and love the product.

@@mvx627 yeah just like the 5g 😂😂

I don't think you get how thermoelectric coolers work. It's basically a solid state heat pump. One side gets cold while the other side gets very hot. You need to have some way to reject the waste heat or the TEC will start to get hotter on the cold side in very short order. I guess you could strap a very large metal heat sink to the thing to make it fanless, but that wouldn't be very practical for a neck-worn device. So forced air cooling of the heat exchange fins are a necessity, I'm afraid.

Are you driver?

No

In cooling mode. 2 hours they have one with a bigger battery. Lasts an extra half hour on top of the 2. Fan mode like lasts all day

@@mav48185 I don't care about their claims. I care about testing if they're accurate.

@@WorldscapeScenery yeah i just told you 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@@mav48185 You just read me the stats. That's not a real world test, unless you're claiming you have one and checked it.

Great for dry climates. Worthless anywhere that is humid as well as hot

He tested several types of these cooling cloths in both the desert and on a vacation to Hawaii. It's been a couple years though.

Worthless for when you are in a work situation. Makes everything wet and unprofessional.

It's definitely not enough. On a hot day when you would actually need these, your body pretty much heats up the blood that circulates through the neck area the moment that the cooling plates are able to cool them off. It feels cool but it definitely is not enough to cool your body down. It also only lasts about 1.5 hours for me so that's not nearly long enough. The biggest fault I have with these is that it CANNOT be plugged into a portable battery pack or into an outlet to use while charging. The cheap Chinese neck fans have this functionality. Come on Coolify.

That is a valid concern. Hopefully they can sort that out moving forward because it's pretty nice in general (although still too expensive).

I think they deliberately disable usage while charging as a safety feature, especially considered it is worn around your neck. So that user cannot be injured by an overcharged battery.

The Coolify 3 added this feature, along with a third cooling plate in the back. It's legit pricey, but looks pretty nice.

@@katiebyers2573 Thanks for the info. Hope they have reliable safety feature to ensure a faulty in the battery/charger will not end up in an explosion/overheat just inches from your face, or next to your main arteries at the neck.

Hello Deborah how are you doing over there?

U could read my comment if you'd like to know about the product and it's effectiveness. I'd say it would work just as well here in Florida and I'd suggest buying the top model if you are thinking about buying one for reasons i explained in my comment. I don't work for them, no one is paying me. Just my opinions . People complained it fell off their neck, so something to consider. The plates inside are sort of like a ceramic so a drop would obviously be game over.

I wonder how it would have helped when we lived in Florida and were at Disney 1-4 times a month. Summers were absolutely brutal.

I'm in Florida and I agree! 👍

@@Natepwnsu Hi, I own one. It doesn't fall off unless you are riding a bike and had a fall. It fits snug.

Hello fellow New Mexican! I plan to get this since it gets so hot here!

@@trevrah - Hola! Where abouts do you live? I'm in Rio Rancho.

Hello Linda how are you doing over there?

@@stefandieter4044 I’m well and you?

I wouldn't think so. That's just my opinion tho.

Hello Lori how's it going with you over there?

The battery life extends depending on the mode and speed

You may want to contact them because that does not sound normal. At least not from my experience with it, and I've been using mine a lot this summer.

Did you have a good customer service experience if and/or when you did contact them?

So, Money is in the eye of the Beholder, and if you be holdin' enough... ;)

Once you work a landscaping job in the August heat you’ll reconsider 😂

I'm a landscaper who works in ~100 degree heat all day in July/august and even I wouldn't consider getting this. Wetting my hat with water and using one of those soakable neck towels would be far better than air blowing on your neck. Especially if you have very long hair like me. 180 bucks for air on your neck is insane, I need air all over my body (The wind) to feel cooled off lol.

@@CadgerChristmasLightShow your plan, no thx.

@@neetrab okay, so what's your plan then? You must have plenty of experience with this to make a statement Like that, right?

I almost included that cheap Amazon model to compare a few until I read all of the negative reviews. The $50 neck personal AC system on Amazon, which has three cooling unit areas, received many negative reviews with product returns due to the fan on the back tugging hair. This unit also received many negative reviews due to it not being cordless and not fitting people with larger necks. This product fits the category of "too-good-to-be-true" due to its enticingly low price.

No unfortunately

Can’t lie. That’s true. The packaging is over the top. I don’t use the huge case. A simple sleeve would suffice.

I probably glossed over that due to my infatuation with the large cooling plates. I don't think the air is any cooler, but the large area of my neck being cooled seems to make me interpret the air from the fans as being colder, maybe due to their close proximity.

That's not how it works
