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

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today I'm testing out the Coolify 2 neck fan, described as a "neck air conditioner." I compare it to the Arctic Air Freedom and another Amazon neck fan. As always, the prices stated in this video are likely to change over time.

    So those thermoelectric peltier generators are very cool technology and have virtually no use because of their huge power draw and the fact that it is essentially a plate that when current is ran through it one side cools and one side heats up. They are expensive to produce. I'd say this product is priced very accurate to the cost of the materials and assembly. Its why they have multiple models, I assume the top model is probably awesome at the job its created for with proper voltage and a larger battery pack. Plus if u cool the generator plates they work even better. they probably have a heat pipe in the top unit too to increase it's potency. But materials cost $. This is cool. I wondered if someone would find a use for the peltier generators due to the heavy energy draw. Now you know how it works. Good review 👍

    I live in Singapore where weather is really warm and humid all year round. Been using this for a few weeks now. Works great with just the fan at speed 2 for 28-32 degrees celsius night or day walks outside. Under the sun, the cooling function with fan on 2 is good enough, occasionally bumping up to 3 feels great. As someone with higher metabolism and body heat as others, it worked great in keeping me relatively cool to the extend i do not break much of a sweat with it.

    @@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.

    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?

    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.

I have a nervous system condition. When i stand up my nervous system literally breaks. My body doesnt regulate temp properly so i am easy to overheat, i sweat profusely even in 20°F weather on my face, but in the winter i freeze from the sweat. Right now, i have 2 window AC units running and im still feeling sick because im too hot. The arctic air is on my head blowing dow right now…rest ot on my ponytail and temples 😂 but it cools me faster this way but only in the AC. I need something that works outside when its 100° like today. I hope one day, products like these will be covered by insurance so that poor (because im disabled and still havent won SSDI/SSI in 6 YEARS) people who need this technology for their health has access to it.

    I think humid air makes a big difference when it comes to air flow. A fan, even without any cooling, can really help you out because your skin is so moist. The fact the fan is not adjustable and only Hits the side of your face would be a deal breaker to me. I do live where there are brutal winters, and the heat sounds interesting. Although when you're cold it's usually your core that feels the most cold so I don't know how much neck heat would help

    I live in Somerville, MA and where I am it gets up to 95 degrees. I bought the Coolify 2 because my landlord is a cruel shithead and refuses to let us install air conditioning in our home. The best thing I can say about the Cv2 is that it is not a gimmick. The 3 level peltier cooling pads along with the neck fans really does work and within a minute my face has cooled down signficantly. That said, this is a short burst device. Do not buy this if you want something that's going to keep you cool for long periods of time, its meant to keep you cool during hot flashes or until you can get to an air conditioned room. Another feature not touched on in this video- the heated neck brace works great. Almost better than the cooling function and I find it's a fantastic replacement to a therapeutic hot towel. My main drawback is that this is really only designed for the face and neck and the limited battery life. I recommend charging it with a Nintendo Switch Charger, as I can get it back to full usually within an hour and a half.

I do like what it does to keep me cooled down but now all of a sudden I’ve notice the outside where the little engine is gets hot. Like when you can feel your laptop getting warm after using it for a while. But I hadn’t had it on for more then 5 mins with a 100% battery when I noticed it. Then one end was just blowing fan and other end had ac fan. I think I may have a dud

    I like it a lot, it would be much better if it was flexible like the back part all the way around for more comfort, and thinner with speakers and Bluetooth syncing. Maybe a video or hologram projector too 😎. The plates need to be colder in the next version, I'm sure they will figure out how to improve the cooling effect. There also needs to be more wind on the front of the face and forehead, maybe they can utilize the ends of the device somehow to achieve this. The heating feels really good, very therapeutic. Hopefully they keep improving on that as well. The battery of course is a huge issue, which is why I had to buy two of the limited edition versions with the bigger battery, so one can charge while the other is in use. They need to have swappable rechargeable battery packs in the future so you don't have to buy 2 devices. The limited-edition version changing color to orange when warm is really cool, it helps let you know if they are still cool in really hot working environments. I'm pretty sure if you stuck it in a waterproof container or bag in a freezer or cooler, it would stay ice cold for a little while at least. They look really cool, but pretty weird when you are out in public. I'm sure they will improve on that in the next versions. I feel like more people would wear them if they were speakers too. It's definitely worth the money if you drive with no ac or if you work in hot indoor or shaded environments since this doesn't do a whole lot in the hot beating sun. This is the first neck cooler/fan that I have bought, everything else on the market looks ridiculous and ineffective. I'm happy to be supporting this company since I believe they are on pace to have the ultimate cooling and heating device, and people pay a lot to air-condition their cars and homes for a reason.

I believe that the plates go sub-ambient, but there should have been a faint handprint of warmth where James touched it for several seconds. That there wasn't suggests to me that the metal plates have low emissivity and the readings are therefore inaccurate, or the visualization settings on the camera were poor. The control experiment there would be to look at the device when it has been off for at least an hour. Then the plates will be the same temperature as the plastic in reality and should appear as such in the camera. To your original point, the Peltier must of course generate more heat than it cools. The thing has multiple fans, though, so that's how it's getting rid of the heat.

That said, time to watch the video and see if I want one lol EDIT 1 - 2:30 into the video, it also is a heater. Now I'm getting more interested! It's freezing 70% of the year up here. EDIT 2 - Yeah it's cool and all, but not worth it for such a short battery time. Would spend around $100 for it.
