TORRAS 2025 Top Al Neck Fan Air Conditioner Coolify Cyber, Portable Personal Neck Fans that Blow Cold Air【No.1 Dual-Coolest Wind & 720° Immersive Cooling】Rechargeable for Outdoor/Indoor. Gift for Dad

Purchased for a trip to hot and humid Orlando.This review is BEFORE the trip - in a 74F, 20% humidity roomInitial comments:The device looks and feels very rugged. It had better, for a $280 unit.Even so, I think a fall from your neck onto concrete could do enough damage to make it stop working.Pairing with the app was super easy on iOS.Controls through app are very good.People complain about the battery life - and I agree. It is bad. BUT there is a pretty simple way to get a SIX HOUR cooling session with max cooling. Read on...I talk about the tests I ran later. If you don't want to read that, here is the summary:- To preserve the life of your Coolify batteries, try to keep the charge between 20% and 80%. Lithium batteries don't like to go outside that range.- Coolify can run at maximum fan and cool for about 75 minutes using its built-in batteries. After that (when the battery gets low), Coolify stops cooling and just lets the fans blow air. That is a pretty bad cooling span.- BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS: If you have a 20W charger, Coolify charges at about the same rate as it consumes energy at max speed. This means that if you have a 20W charging pack connected while using Coolify, you can use it pretty much until the charger battery is depleted, and then about 60 minutes after that when the Coolify battery kicks in.- So if you have, say, a 20000mA 20W charging device connected, you can run Coolify at 100% for approximately SIX HOURS until the charger is depleted, and then maybe another hour on the Coolify battery. And COLD will work during that entire time. The Coolify comes with a long enough USB-C cable so that you can keep the charger in your backpack or pocket.- I recommend the Anker Zolo 20000mA battery pack. It is small, lightweight, and only costs $30. Anker brand has not let me down. They also have a 10000mA version for $20 that is even smaller and lighter. These Anker chargers also DO NOT get hot. Other brands do.- A 10000mA charger can sit in your pocket pretty comfortably. If you can handle the discomfort of something around your neck for many hours, you can certainly tolerate a small charger in a pocket.- A 20000mA charger is better suited for a backpack or fanny pack.With that summary aside, here is something interesting:I thought the Coolify was a straight Peltier cooler (i.e. not an efficient device at all), but the specs call out R-410A REFRIGERANT. Personally, I am not buying the claim that this tiny device has refrigerant inside of it, along with a compressor and evaporator. Without those, you don't truly have an A/C. Nor do I think having a refrigerant under pressure in the vicinity of your neck is safe. So I am calling B.S. If this is somehow a real micro A/C unit, then they have truly invented something cool (pun intended).Now for the battery tests:Test #1: Run cool mode with max fan continuously and report battery % every 30 minutes.NOT connected to a charger - just running as anyone would expect to use it.Results:0 min, 100% / 30 min, 68% / 60 min, 40% / 90 min, 12%I stopped the test after 90 min, as running Lithium to 0% is not healthy for the battery.The plates were definitely NOT cold at the end of the test compared to the start.So I think there comes a point where Coolify goes into a "low battery" mode and turns off cooling, leaving the fans running.Test #2: Charge Coolify, reporting charge level every 30 minutes. Also report how much my charging device depletes along the way. Coolify claims it supports 20W charging, so I am using a brand new Anker Zolo, 20000mA charger ($30). I am using the charger's built-in USB-C cable, rated for 20W. Fantastic price for an Anker 20000mA charger!Results:Coolify: 0 min, 10% / 30 min, 44% / 60 min, 72% / 90 min, 91%Anker: 0 min, 100% / 30 min, 89% / 60 min, 81% / 90 min, 72%Battery in the Coolify is 6000mA, and my Anker battery is 20000mA, so it makes sense that Anker is around 70% after charging the Coolify.Based on first two tests, the charge curve of the Coolify is very similar to the discharge curve.After 90 minutes at full speed, Coolify went from 100% to about 12%After 90 minutes of 20W charging, Coolify went from about 10% to about 91%So theoretically, if the charger was connected to the Coolify while Coolify was operating at full speed, the Coolify battery would not drain much at all; main drain would be on the charging device battery. So test #3 sets out to see if this is true.Test #3: Run cool mode with max fan again, BUT keep Anker 20000mA charger connected.Again, to get maximum use, needs to be connected to a 20W charger, or the charger cannot keep up.Results:Coolify: 0 min, 94% / 30 min, 94% / 60 min, 94% / 90 min, 94% / 120 min, 94%Anker: 0 min, 69% / 30 min, 62% / 60 min, 55% / 90 min, 49% / 120 min, 43%Most importantly, the Coolify plates stayed COLD during this test.I didn't run the test longer, but you can see that eventually the Anker battery would deplete and the Coolify battery would take over.Doing the math, a 20000mA 20W charger would run about 6 hours and a 10000mA 20W charger would run about 3 hours.So, this is a $270 cooler that only cools for an hour with its miserable battery. But adding a $30 external battery to it makes the cooling last SIX HOURS. That suddenly makes it a pretty good deal.Could a cheaper cooler do this? Probably in terms of the battery. But this one has more cooling surfaces, more fans, and stronger fans. So based on that, I think this is a great buy if you are gong on a trip to a very hot area.The one thing I am REALLY concerned about is the rain and sweat. How will it affect the cooler over time?If I remember, I will follow up.

I work outdoors with kids, and during the hotter months, the heat can get intense—humid, blazing, and downright exhausting. Staying cool isn’t just about comfort; it’s a necessity to keep up with the pace and stay safe under the sun.The Coolify Cyber might seem large but its barely noticeable around my neck. I actually thought it was a lot more compact than others I've used in the past. The cooling performance makes it worth it, especially when you're chasing after kids or supervising outdoor activities in the sun.Of course, that extra cooling power uses more battery. In my experience, it lasts about 3 hours on full blast. But here’s a pro tip: you don’t need to run it at 100% to feel the difference. At around 70%. I get around 1:30/2 hours of runtime with the neck cooling on low to med, but the good news is the Cyber charges quickly and can even be used while plugged into a power bank. That’s been a lifesaver on long days outdoors—I just toss a power bank in my bag, and I’m set for the whole day.As for the noise level, it doesn’t bother me at all, though that can vary by personal preference. What I really appreciate is the high-quality build. It’s held up well in heat and hectic days outside. Plus, it pairs with the Torras app but I haven't had much need in using it. And for winter? It can heat but haven't used that feature in this CA weather. If you’re looking for something for outdoor use where there’s usually some natural airflow, one of the other Coolify models might be enough—and they’re easier on the wallet. But if staying cool is your top priority, the Cyber is definitely the way to go.

First off, let me say I work at a metals factory that is NOT climate controlled, so temperatures get dangerously hot in the summertime. Having cooling devices are a must, not only for safety, but just to be productive, because who wants to work in hot, humid weather? I choose the Coolify line of products from Torras Life to help me stay (relatively) cool in the summer. I own two other Coolify products, the Coolify 2 and Coolify 2S. The Coolify Cyber, although the most expensive model, does offer the best cooling of the 3 models. It also provides the most airflow. It is bulkier and a little heavier, and isn't as flexible as the other 2 models, but that's not to say it's uncomfortable - it's just a little more noticeable when wearing it versus the others.The extra cooling does come with a downside - it consumes more battery power, but luckily it has a bigger battery to offset the extra power consumption. So in my tests, it still gets about 3 hours of battery life at max cooling. But here's a tip: don't run it at max power, and here's why. The heat generated from the cooling plates has to go somewhere - in the case of the Cyber, that's the back of the unit. When running it at 100% for extended periods, the exhaust heat becomes noticable. Running it at roughly 70% still offers enough cooling to stay comfortable without the excessive exhaust heat. And as a bonus, you get longer runtime... I got around 4 hours at 70%.Although 3-4 hours of runtime isn't GREAT, as most people would agree that any battery powered device could have better runtime before needing recharged, the good news with the Coolify Cyber is it charges fairly quickly, but can also be charged while using - so if you have a power bank, you can easily keep it running longer.The noise level of the Cyber does not bother me at all, but that's subjective, so your opinion may vary. The Cyber has a high quality build, and has endured the extreme heat at work. It also pairs with their app, so you can more precisely control the cooling and heating intensity (yes it also offers heat for the winter or to help relax your aching neck muscles!), and fan speeds. Instead of just low, medium, and high, the app allows you to choose anywhere from 0-100%. It also offers AI Modes that adjust the output automatically based on the mode chosen.I will say, if you're looking for a cooling device for the outdoors, where there's plenty of airflow, not a hot, stuffy factory, one of the other Coolify products will probably be good enough, and easier on your wallet. But if staying cool is your priority, the Cyber is the way to go.
