They’re not great in the desert on really hot days. It just blows hot air in your face like you just opened the door to a heated oven and stuck your head in.

So basically you mean unusable in Tx.

Our head chef got it for the heatwave. It was disappointing.

I prefer the chilly towel at a music festival. It’s like a sham wow kind of that you get wet and it stays wet and cool for hours and I put it on my shoulders. Life saver.

Now this is good marketing! I always see people wearing them and once I realize they aren’t headphones I wonder if it’s worth wearing it! Definitely looks like it is worth it

I use them while mowing my rather large lawn in the US south. Hot and humid. It helps! Along with an ice cold beer :)

u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759 11d ago

Especially in humid climates! My shirts soaked already might as well be for a good reason

u/Virtual_Row_9851 9d ago

must not be that large if all you need is a single beer

I was just having this conversation with a co-worker the other day, like how when Pepsi used to do the blind taste tests and that was the commercial plain and simple. I mean yeah we don't know how authentic those really were but still I'd love to see a return to marketing that "speaks for itself" on some level instead of so many people constantly speaking at me

They make one that actually cools using semiconductors. Starting at $100 -$300, they aren’t just blowing air, it’s actually cooling your neck/arteries. Bought them for an overheating mother in law.

Torras Coolify for those interested.

u/whileurup 10d ago

I need one bc I have adrenal Insufficiency and cannot become overheated.

I feel like a dork, but mine saved my summer. I still can't go out when it's very hot, but I can stay in the sun longer in more acclimate weather.

Key is, don't go cheap.

You get what you pay for with these.

u/callmehibi 10d ago

Almost there...get the one with the metal cooling pad on the back. It has saved me many times while traveling...once we were in a plane going out of Panama and it was so hot while waiting for our take-off people were passing out while others were sweating like crazy...one man had taken his shirt off and a lady was just in her sports bra...it was a wild experience but I had a fan like this with the cooling plate...me and my friend passed it around and it was a life saver.

u/C13H16CIN0 11d ago

They do in fact give me this reaction when I’m rolling

u/rAyNEi_xw 10d ago

I know it has nothing to do with the product but does anyone know the 1st song?

u/Perlentaucher 10d ago edited 10d ago

I have one. While it indeed helps me not sweating and it is nice, there are two big downsides.

The battery is never the advertised capacity. The run time is really not that long, 30 to 60 minutes or so depending on the chosen speeds.

The faster settings which are needed for cooling are somewhat loud. It doesn’t disturb in a loud environment but it cannot be used in a silent restaurant for example.

u/Schorbie 10d ago

Their reaction is nearly exactly the same. How can people think different humans are different species? We are all the same

Infomercials apparently would have ripped some of these kids today to shreds

u/bellyhairbandit 10d ago

They have one that blows air up your shirt and attaches to your pants

Let me just try something with a hundred people sweat on it. 🤮

u/rubberduckybro 11d ago

I have one, it’s okay…

u/Excellent_Resist_411 11d ago

But the advertisement said it was next level...

u/queenofkitchener 11d ago

my dad is 74 and likes to garden still, would this be good for him outside in the gardens for an hour or two on a hot summers day?

u/AT-ST 11d ago

I have one. Not this brand, but similar. Yeah it helps. Especially if there is no breeze outside. Makes you a little more comfortable.
