The fact that this neck band actually works was not on my bingo card as a dystopian fashion accessory of the near future. The movies really missed predicting that one.
I think they also have cooling plates of some kind in them, they can get pretty expensive but very common to see road workers etc wearing them here. Cooling neck rings that you put in the fridge (they freeze below like 16c) are popular recently too, those are available on Amazon UK etc.
One quick heads up if you're a person with long hair! This thing doesn't do the best job at excluding hair from the intakes. It's probably worse for people who have very curly and frizzy hair like me. Put your hair in a tight bun before you put this thing on or you'll get to listen to the intake fans slowly chew away at your hair. Other neck doohickeys do a better job at excluding hair, but none of them have the price/performance of this one. EDIT: I'll note that I have very frizzy, curly hair. I think people with straight hair will have a better time. The issue isn't bad enough for me to stop using the thingy. I still use mine frequently.
If you can cool your neck it cools the blood flowing through the main arteries, which cools your body down. For years when working outside I kept a damp kerchief around my neck to do the same thing. Brilliant idea.
I unfortunately had the early stages of heat stroke last year on a trip to Paris (was something like 37C and I was at an event and struggling to find shade). Started with nausea, then light headed, then the world went super bright and i felt like I was on the edge of passing out. I tipped a few cups of water over my head and as soon as the back of my neck started to cool off, the symptoms receded. Still had to be carted off to the first aid tent, and they put an ice pack on the back of my neck too. So, you are absolutely right, it’s the quickest way to cool off your blood flow.
@@southcalder absolutely. Working in east Texas taught me quick to keep my neck cool. I was playing an outdoor show last year and got overheated, now I can’t take heat at all. Glad you’re ok.
I picked one of these up after watching this video and, of course, Mat is absolutely right. Funny though, after a couple of hours wearing this on a hot day, I thought to myself I didn’t need it as it wasn’t actually all that hot after all. I took it off, and only then did I realise it was actually very hot - but it had been working so well I didn’t notice while it was doing its job.
Please never change the ending credits you due. The combination of this really pleasing/relaxing song with the clips of the mechanical stuff is just really nice.
Im not sure why I watched the entire video. I have no use for it since I live in Iceland. I guess I like watching Techmoan to much. Ill watch anything he reviews 😂
@@tomorrow6 I don't think either of those things happen nearly often enough for this to come into play. Chances are these would all be dead and unable to hold a charge by the time they got any use in Iceland.
Matt just to let you know. These exact same ones were taken off the market here in Taiwan. There were two injuries caused by the internal batteries catching on fire. Luckily no one died, but in both cases they caused severe burns. The Taiwan importer was ordered to remove them from the market. Retailers that sold them to customers were told to give full refunds to any customers who bought them. Taiwan’s Customs and Border Control. Also confiscated units that were located at Taipei Port.
@@ncot_tech In both heating and cooling modes, some part of the machine will get hot. Due to physics, you can't just make heat disappear, it has to go somewhere, and this redirects the heat from one part of the machine to another.
Battaries aside, i wonder how fast would you catch a cold wearing this thing. I tend to get sick after a couple of hours under aircon or just a fan, i lose my voice, get high temp and feel just awful. If i got this thing around my neck, i'd be out of the game in no time
That Dyson thing you mentioned reminds me of when my Dad was in a hospice in the middle of summer with these useless £500 Dyson fans pointlessly blowing over his head rather than at him. One of their posters proudly announced 'You told us it was too hot for the patients in the summer so we listened. We have spent £10,000 on Dyson fans to cool the air down.' Which made me furious as there he was lying there in a boiling hot room with an expensive Dyson blowing hot air a foot above him. To think they could have spent £300 on portable air conditioners for each room or cheaper still at about £50 a large freestanding fan pointing at him at the foot of the bed. They have these useless Dyson fans all over my local National Trust house too, they must have spent a fortune on them. Dyson has brilliant marketing.
Elderly care is just legalized robbery no matter where you live. My grandma was put into a nursing home by my cousins and it cost them 15k a **month** and it wasn't even that nice. Insane that they get away with charging that much
The Dyson fan is as much about cleaning the air as blowing it around. But no, fans do not cool the air they move the air past people, which increases cooling of people through sweating/evaporation
The magic of Peltier cells, I could spend a day writing about cool stuff you can do with them 😊 Thanks for the review, I wouldn't expect this to work so well and become something commercially reasonable in this kind of application.
@@jub8891 What else would they use? I can't think of another way to get sub ambient cooling in a small form factor Edit: They say it on their Amazon page that they're using Peltier devices. They don't have to be very powerful to feel cool on the skin and it has a 22.2 Wh battery
@@jub8891 They definitely use TEC's (peltiers), it's only cooling a small area by a few degrees or so - so power consumption is manageable. Condensation is only an issue when cooling below the dew point which this thing is unlikely to do and even if it is an issue i expect they have designed it to have the condensation blown out with the hot exhaust air.
1:30 I complained to the advertising standards authority about the Dyson advertising years ago. They also had videos when they launched those “cool” fans. I complained that the blue air in the graphic and the choice of words implied that you could choose to have cool air. They didn’t uphold the complaint at all and said they believed that consumers would all realise that it wasn’t an air conditioner.
I live in the UK - in an air conditioned house, together with solar panels on the roof. The air con systems get used for much more than cooling the house on hot summer days. They also reduce humidity, and are high efficiency heaters, which come into their own in mid to late spring, and early to mid autumn. Most of the time we use them, the solar panels are generating more current than the house uses, so they don't have to cause sky high bills.
@@GrantlyThe price of solar is plummeting, especially if you do a DIY install. Air conditioners aren't that much either where they are common (like Japan). Getting contractors in the UK to install either is probably a recipie for pain, though. They'll be exploiting Britons' general ignorance of such things.
I just moved across the country to Oregon and much of the same is true. Alot of apartments built in the 70s don’t have air conditioning. We had to get a portable unit and have it installed for 50 dollars by the maintenance here. The thing drives me crazy knowing how inefficient the portables are.
Hopefully as high efficiency heat pumps become more prevalent in the home, this problem will become less so, as by design those primarily needing heat will also have air conditioning, and those primarily needing cooling will also have heat. Strange how places that never used to need air conditioning at all are experiencing these heat issues. It's almost like average global temperatures are on the rise or something.
Alas due to government regulation there's no grant on the heat pumps that also cool, so nobody gets those as it can add 5-6k to the install cost.. it's far cheaper to skip that and install a separate AC unit later. As far as I can tell heat pumps in the UK work by heating water (they require a large water tank - much larger than you'd use for gas heating) and distributing that around the house through the existing radiators. No scope for cooling.
These things use Peltier plates. They're kind of magical. Pass a small current through them and they draw heat from one side to the other, heating up one side and cooling down on the other. I have a mini fridge that uses them and it also has a mode that can heat food at the flick of a switch.
I forgot what they were called. I've a Braun shaver with, a cooling plate. Had it about 10 years, also comes with a shaver cleaning station. Really good bit of kit
It's cool technology (pun intended) but they're also horribly inefficient, which is why they're not widely implemented. Very cheap though, so they've found some use in stuff like cheap mini fridges and small dehumidifiers. The technology itself has been around forever. For larger scale the math just doesn't add up. You end up generating so much more heat than cooling effect achieved.
I have one of those mini fridges and it heats and cools. Actually isnt a Peltier what they used on the Voyager space probe and its heated by Plutonium and generates power.
For years my mate refused to get air conditioning installed in his house. He kept saying it's too expensive and too much hassle to call up people, organise quotes, then he has to be home while they're installing it, just too much work. And then just today his sister tells me he got air conditioning installed and I was blown away (pun intended)! If only you'd uploaded this video sooner, you could've saved him a lot of time, hassle, and expense! Seriously though, it really is needed here in Australia. Not a lot of older houses have air con, so it does make them pretty unbearable during summer. I usually end up working longer hours in summer just because it's nice and cool at the office! So it's definitely worth getting it installed if you're working from home frequently. But I guess if that's not an option, one of these personal air conditioners might be good enough in certain situations.
Can confirm, we only have evaporative cooling here so we're still better off than some, but it gets overwhelmed quickly, even in the somewhat milder Canberra heat.
So much easier these days with those mini split, pre-filled systems too. Can DIY it if you're somewhat competent, for small UK houses one or two of those is probably enough too.
I've nearlypulled the trigger on these but it's still nearly 1k a room and even in this house I'd need at least 4. And for some insane reason the dual ones cost more than twice the cost of the single room ones so it's cheaper to have 4 installations of a single room AC..
i wonder how quickly you get your money back if solar panels were installed @UpLateGeek , it seems like the very thing that could help offset the costs of the AC to some extent
Typical techmoan subject : “tech you wear on your neck “ If only they could combine it with a neck speaker it would be the perfect techmoan piece of tech 😂
Actually when I saw his video on neck speakers I went and bought one that included an FM radio. It was great in lieu of a working car stereo and didn't cover my ears.
@@therealboofighter. Not going to happen. Dyson don't even promote The Zone's "visor" in the UK because it's had a poor reception here. It is popular in far Eastern countries where air pollution is often higher. Dyson's latest headphones (OnTrac) have dispensed with the fans and filters.
Most the "air conditioning" units in the UK are actually heat pumps, but in the summer they can change direciton/fuction and do cold, rather than just the 'tepid' in the winter. Honestly, they should really market them as such, far more people would make the switch. I had one in London and it was a grade 2 listed property but they ran the ducting in the chimneys. Absolute bliss in the summer!
A good number of heat pumps in the UK are used to heat radiant hot water systems. Think it’s hot there, come to Las Vegas, a very hot summer and yes, air conditioning is standard in all homes.
In my region (NM, USA) it is very dry and most "air conditioners" here are evaporative air conditioners that consume water. The other kinds we call "refrigerated air" and (yes) heat pumps. Not many homes here have refrigerated air, mostly just commercial buildings and cars. Since Albuquerque is the only major Southwest American desert city with ample water (an underground Lake Superior, and growing!), there is little incentive to switch to power-hungry refrigerated units like other SW cities have.
@@jul1440 We should also clarify that a standard air-conditioning unit is in fact a heat pump but it works only in one way in pumping heat out of a building to where a reverse cycle (that's what we called them in Florida way back) heat pump can reverse a valve and bring heat from the outside into the building. Newer systems don't need those old pesky heat strips of days gone by, at least with the Mitsubishi ducted system I have in my house. It is an option if necessary however. The U.S. is way behind on putting truly efficient HVAC in homes since many homes are built by developers who put in the cheapest systems that they can get by with or make it an upgrade option that the buyer rarely goes with. Why when they can get a farm house sink and barn doors and others stupid stuff.
I work an "outside job" (in a non air con auto shop in Florida) and i have a similar fan with cooling plates. Helps keep me from overheating on a hot summer day. That and refreezeable cooling neck wraps.
I'm glad it's brought you comfort, Summers in Australia, especially in the North, can be unbearable. It's a good thing we almost all have air conditioning, with either splits or central units.
@raymondo162 You would like to think that but look at America and Australia and they both have better weather and more land and resources you can shake a stick at. That will teach those that stole a loaf of bread, go live somewhere you will see the sun.
The US is the same. Even in the northern states where it’s cooler the summers are just so humid and awful. And if it’s not a humid you’re in a state like Nevada where it’s just always hot and very dry. There’s very little happy middle ground here. That said I would take Nevada and it’s dry desert heat all year round over a single day of Wisconsin winters.
If nobody has mentioned it yet one of the portable roll around air conditioners can do a great job cooling a room and can fit in most window situations. Our house doesn't have central air so we have 3. One in the living area, and the other two in the active bedrooms. Two of them also have heat pumps so they heat and cool. When we don't need them just roll them out of the way and take the window kits out. The best ones have dual hoses so the hot air gets blown out the window. Two of ours are dual hose.
@@kgfgfg1 I usually don’t think about it because I live in an English-speaking country most of the time but it was especially striking on Mat’s thumbnail this time.
I told my roofer friend here in Florida about this thing. He needs them badly. It gets unbearably hot on a roof in the Summer in Florida. His guys are constantly getting heat exposure issues and having to stop working and sit in the truck with the AC on for hours to avoid heat stroke. Superb review!
When I first learned about neck fans I thought they were just a gimmicky waste of money, but then I was working a fast paced job working up a sweat and someone let me borrow their neck fan and I ended up buying one later that night! I've had the thing for about 4 years now and it still holds a charge for at least 8 hours for a full work day
People who live inland also forget that, being surrounded by water, the UK has a high relative humidity, making sweat less effective, and thus making us feel hotter and stickier than the temperature alone might suggest.
true. as someone in western ohio (and ohio used to be majority wetland before it was drained during colonization) 75f with 90% humidity is way worse than 90f with 50-60% humidity
@@isabellewonn754 I live in Florida, work outside, it's been say 85 in the morning with 80% humidity, it's brutal. Feels like an oven, any movement and you sweat. Anyways a "cold front" went through, very rare this time of year, the humidity dropped to say 65% on Friday. It felt so much cooler just because my sweat was actually doing its job. Temperatures and humidities are a wild thing...
We have direct experience of exactly this, having homes in both the UK and Hungary. In the winter in the UK, my (Hungarian) wife insists on having the heating at 22 or above, which I find too hot. But, in Hungary in the summer, she has the AC set to 26 degrees - which I find far too cold! (Although I suppose I should be grateful she doesn't do this the other way round!)
yup yup yup ..i am in beautiful Zambales and sitting under air con and fan...watching this video i was thinking i wonder how well it would work here since we have very low humidity most days...Shopee has only sold 3 of these and LAzada has sold 11 ...that should answer my question..
SEA is insane with the heat and humidity. I was in Malaysia for a while, people kept asking me if I was okay. I felt like I was dying, I don't know how anyone gets anything done in a climate like that.
I will definitely be purchasing one of these for working outside during the summer. One quick note though, you mentioned those portable air conditioners with the hose going to the window. If you're going to buy one, do not buy one with a single hose. They're incredibly inefficient and they don't do a very good job of cooling the room. I have one that I put in my dining room every summer and it has an intake hose with a screen on it and an exhaust hose without a screen and both of those go into the window in one little unit. It's incredibly efficient. And it does such a good job of getting the humidity out of my house here in Maine that I don't even have to empty the water tank. That's at the bottom of it at the end of the year. All that humidity just goes right out the window. So yeah the two hose ones work really really well. They're a bit more expensive but you save all that money and electricity anyway and your house actually gets cooled down. Remember you get what you pay for so if you're buying the cheapest thing out there, it's probably not going to do the best job
They're inherently incapable of cooling the room. You can't blow cooled air in one direction without blowing heated air in another. Air conditioners that sit in a window make the inside cooler and the outside hotter.
I've literally never seen one without a single hose. I'm not sure what you're saying. The hose pumps hot air out of the window and the cold air comes out of the unit. What would a second hose do?
@@TonyHoyle Single hose units blow the hot air out of the unit but while doing so it has to suck air in (that's just been cooled) from around the unit. Then it has to replace the air that has just been sucked out with hot outside air. Dual hose units force the outside air to come in through the hose so it doesn't mix with nice cool interior air. Look up Technology Connections video on portable air conditioners, it's got a thumbnail saying "these suck literally"
£127 on amazon now, looks a very good product. Me, I'll stick with one of those ones took a C battery, that you saw old women using on mystery trips (always Whitby) in the 70.s
Another great video - and a really interesting device that has me looking darkly at the completely ineffective fan right now feebly attempting to cool me down!
I hope fans like this get made for more body parts I got eyeballs, hips, elbows, and calves that get VERY hot for example and could all use one of these that's purpose-built designed for each of them!
@@hillppari Being able to package it up into such a mobile and personal-sized cooling unit like this most likely wouldn't have been possible before Lion battery technology, though which is much younger than that.
as someone in a cooler area of the us where a/c doesn't come standard, i know just how bad heat can get without it. the place i live in is designed to keep in heat so it doesn't get as cold in the winter, but that just makes the heat feel more miserable than it would otherwise. also, heat tolerance varies! if you live in an area that tends towards cooler temperatures, you're not going to naturally build heat tolerance. many different kinds of prescriptions can affect your heat tolerance as well
I wish I could use one but I can’t stand having things around my neck. It was hard to watch the video I kept pulling my shirt away from my neck. But that’s cool that it actually works. I knew you guys didn’t have AC but not having humidity control would drive me crazy. In Florida the AC is for both temperature and humidity.
Humidity tends not to be too bad here though. In the South East of England, he's in the North, it was about 36°C outside, and about 40°C indoors with the windows open. Humidity was about 40%.
Another thing to remember, hot temperatures are worse the first few days when you are not used to them. If it gets hot and cools down again in a few days, you just never get used to it. This is why hot weather in the more northern parts of Europe is annoying.
From Description the device must use a Peltier cooler, which is a thermoelectric heat pump. And yes a few CPU coolers where designed with them as well., they draw quite a lot of current for the amount cooling they provide..
Well you turned me into a buyer (used the affiliate link). I've gone to Disney a few times and tried those neck fans but since the plastic isn't cooled it feels absolutely awful having it against your neck. I can't wait to try these.
That inspired me to buy the $24 ChillGo. No metal pads, but it moves a lot of air, is pretty comfortable, hasn't eaten my beard, and is quiet enough to have a conversation or watch videos like these.
11:21 Ahhhh! Bee!😊 Lots of people here in the Pacific Northwest don’t have built in air conditioning for their homes either. I always laugh when the first day of heat comes, everyone scrambles to install their window units. This definitely would’ve come in handy with our recent heat waves. Just add a gaming chair with built in air conditioning, I’d be all set! Neat product.
In the UK this year summer didn't happen until the last couple of weeks so the normal build up of heat never happened. So we were just hit with very hot, so no getting use to it.
Window units don't exist in the UK which is a pity as they sound nice (but the type of window you'd need to use one is very rare), we have freestanding units with a pipe, which used to be quite cheap but are now going for £500+ because of demand. I can't even have that in my main room because the only opening window is too high up and too small to get the pipe through.. just have to suffer.
I have looked at these several times over the years and just like you, I thought they would be full of false claims. So thank you for giving a proper and trustworthy review, I will definitely invest. Sadly the item is showing as "currently unavailable" via your link, but is available on Amazon from another seller, currently on offer.
I've actually bought one of these things, for when i'm about, not the fancy one a really cheap one, Amazon special! and it do work, just to move some air, but it give me a headache! So solution 2, i've got a USB fan (with a free spinning...fan... no protective cage around the spinny thing i mean...) and i plug in my portable battery! and it work magic!
I’m in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. and I think we are much the same. Only would need A/C for a few days a year so most houses don’t have them. It is getting warmer year over year though so I broke down and bought a portable for those few days I need them. And no regrets on that purchase. This thing is a great idea though. Also perfect for people who go to summer festivals like Burning Man.
I was so sure that would be a huge fail ending in the trash, but, wow, ok. There's a ton of cheap $30 versions of that thing on Amazon tho, but happy to learn that this one isn't rubbish. 👍👍
Purchased with your affiliate link! Thanks. Needed something to buy for my wife for our anniversary on Sep 1. I live in SoCal, and even though we're close to the beach, it does get into the 100's in September at times, often in the 90's. She likes to walk when the kids are in school, but it's too darned hot in Sep. Perfect timing with this video. Thanks! I've always been suspicious of these devices just because I didn't understand where the waste heat goes. Now I understand it's a peltier junction with jets of warm air shooting out the sides. It makes more sense now my engineering brain, so I pulled the trigger.
Oh - i fully expected this to be a scam product- but I never even imagined anyone had turned a peltier cooler into a personal air-con. That's a really food idea, despite the hot exhaust air and the high power consumption.
I live on the west coast of canada so simillar to you we only get truely hot a few days of the year but when it does it also gets humid and miserable. I found wearing a wet cool scarf helps a lot and I work a physical job outside in the sun...or rain, etc. so if I can deal with all that in full uniform with only a wet cloth around my neck I bet most people could use that as a cheap alternative too.
i had one in the 90's from Sharper Image. it worked by evaporative cooling, in the neck parts it had sponges you soaked prior to using and it worked great.
In all the years I’ve been following your videos , mostly for my own love of quirky hi-fi. I’ve never actually gone out and bought something I’ve seen on your channel that I loved. But for some reason this review really hit home and I purchased one for my wife🙂
Not only do most houses in the UK ‘not have AC, but it doesn’t normally get this hot there. Yeah, I’m I Atlanta and it gets to 90f regularly and frequently hits 100f in the summer. But the UK RARELY ‘gets that hot so people really aren’t used to it and that makes a huge difference.
I think the humidity doesn't help much in the UK. It can get so high your bodies natural means of cooling don't work very well. Everyone's tolerance for heat is different, I ended up having to get air con in the house in the end as I work from home and it just got unbearable.
Another thing that people don’t quite realize is that humidity play a huge factor in how hot it feels in places like UK and Japan. It’s more common to use fan vests with inner cooling gel or ice pads, icy water recirculating systems or simply mesh spacing inner vests rather than integrated peltier modules. Another disadvantage of units that integrates both peltier and fans for circulation of the air is that, depending on how intense the use is, battery life can be quite a bottleneck to use. In Japan, you can find vests/long sleeve blouses and shirts with holes to attach a variety of brands of ventilation fans, the clothing itself isn’t that expensive and the intention is to keep the air being blown inside it for as long as it can while flowing back outside, carrying the surface heat and some of the humidity of the sweat along with it, making it so that the surface feels cooler. Brands like Tajima and Makita also carry their own brand batteries that can be controlled by Bluetooth (Burtle might have too but I’m not sure) but you can get adapters to use portable batteries that support quickcharge with larger capacity for relatively cheaper. Some companies that make it available to their employees those might also have charging stations for multiple batteries which is handy. They usually charge slowly and don’t last very long, which is why people often resort to using more common portable batteries and adapters as they ultimately are cheaper for people and workplaces that uses them intensely.
Note that there is also a passive variant of this in the form of cooling packs using phase change materials. They are like the cold pack you probably have somewhere in your freezer, but instead of being -20°C or so, they freeze at e.g. +18°C. So when you put them on they slowly melt, keeping you at 18°C for a similar amount of time than this gadget.
I have a cheap cooling Fan that sits around my neck, I always thought these neck air conditioners were a gimmick and just overpriced neck fans, I might just invest in one, since my workshop gets unbearable, I also have a small fan that hooks on to my belt and blows air up my back, it doesn't do much to cool me but stops my shirt sticking to my back
My brother brought one of those Dyson fans I brought a portable air conditioner for just a little less. Guess who was cooler on the hot days we had in the UK. Oh it was both of us as he came to my house for the AC as did most of my freinds
Thanks so incredibly much. I have POTS and on subway platforms in NYC can get faint from being hot due to heat intolerance and being upright, the strange aspects of the illness that I’ve had trouble managing. I got a little handheld fan which hardly does anything but this item could make me much safer especially when my medication is wearing off. I would also not use it seated on the train knowing it could warm somebody, very helpful info... But on overheated platforms this could really be of help. Thanks!
I have a neck fan that my wife picked up for me at Aldi. It's pretty ugly, it's literally just 2 fans on little bendable arms, but even that has been really nice to have on 97F degree days when I have to be outside for some reason. This looks like a much fancier version. The RU-vid channel Project Farm did a review of various neck fans and the like recently.
Hopefully these will plummet in price as other companies make their own. It's got the same tech inside that my little dehumidifier does and that cost £30.
I decided to get this as it dropped in price on Amazon from £179 to £143 and so far its been very good. The test will be at work. Its a stuffy small hot office with little airflow so will be nice if it makes working in there more bearable.
Rather amusingly, I couldn't hear the sound of your neck fan because of the sound of the air-conditioner behind me (heating the room early this Australian winter morning - 10C outside)). Looks like a good idea though - unusually for most of these gimmicky products.
I bought one after having watched your video. I was sceptical but I trust you, and I can report that this thing really works, like you said. The device is quite impressive actually.
Not so much imported from PCs Mat, which still rely on room-temperature cooling via very efficient heat sinks & fans. The tech used here relies on the Peltier effect, where you pass a low current across a special material known as a Peltier block which gets hot on one side and cold on the other. If you reverse the electrical polarity, the blocks reverse which sides are hot/cold. Very cool! (sorry). However, this tech is mostly used in kitchen water coolers and those tiny 8-can fridges because they're very power inefficient and it's hard to dump the heat, which is why they aren't used in kitchen fridges or large HVAC systems. I like this device a lot, it's the perfect application of the tech.
There are still some companies trying to produce peltier coolers for PCs but condensation becomes a major issue. Not what you want floating around inside your pc!
When playing fairs and festivals with one of my old bands, we had these cloth fabric tubes with water absorbing pellets, we'd soak them in ice water and they'd work a treat. You can get a lot of heat out of your body by cooling the neck. (Also the top of the head and the palms of your hands but that's not as relevant here.)
Oh, I just bought some of these, well, a certain chinasite that begins with A-L-I (don’t automod me as an ad!) have been selling some basic versions for 2-3 quid a pop! Like you I was suffering with the heat so bought some to test, they’re not cooling just a fan, but they’re surprisingly effective! This one is a way higher league though, impressive!
