TORRASCOOLIFY Cyber Alpha Thermochromic Limited Edition Neck Air Conditioner, Blue-Orange Changing Portable Neck Fan Rechargeable, Ultimate Immersive Cooling, AI Temp Control Personal Fan As Gifts

Purchased 3 different cooling fans to compare. All of them high end. I must say, I did not compare any low end models. This was absolutely the best of the three. Most comfortable, blower positions and options are perfect, I do not even need to run it on high, that's how impressed I am with the product and how well it cools. You can also run it off a battery pack in your pocket if needed for more than 3 hours. Have been using for a month now and very happy with this purchase.

I tried the deluxe limited edition stainless steel "thermochromic" model. It's sturdy and well made, and the design looks great. However, it's not without its share of pros and cons.PROSIt gets very cold/heats up fast and the customizable airflow when set to max is quite strong (but see cons, below, because the range at which it is effective at cooling is rather narrow).The free app is fast and easy, with a super clean, attractive, and idiot-proof animated interface. It allows you to turn the device on/off and customize the air flow strength as well as which vent configuration you want to use (all, neck, left, or right, in whatever combination desired). You can switch between cold, hot, or only air. It tracks your battery life down to the last percentage point, as well as with a wheel symbol. In short, you need this app! It's a joy to use.You can use the Coolify Cyber while it is charging, which is great! Unfortunately, due to the underside placement of the charging port, the cable's connector uncomfortably rubs against your collar bone. Somebody should have thought this placement through a little better.CONSThe cold pack part (in the back of the neck) is only effective up to maybe 85-90 degrees and works much better indoors than outdoors. Once the temperature starts to get higher, all you're going to feel is hot air from the vents. I was able to test my unit outdoors and indoors during 75-98 degree summer weather, but no comparable test for how the heat function does in winter.I did briefly test the heat function on a cooler summer day, and it seems fine, but I can't guarantee how well it would perform in winter.This is not a replacement for an indoor AC, but it does allow you to be mobile, which is nice.The recessed controls are impossible to find/work while it's being worn. This is an inconvenience more than a problem as long as you have the Coolify app installed and your phone handy.The built in fan controls are a bit counterintuitive, but you can use the app to avoid them.The Cyber is a little bit heavier and tighter than cheaper plastic neck fans, but not uncomfortably so. However, if you have an especially thick or wide neck, it might hug you too tightly. It has a limited hinged design to accommodate different neck sizes, but it's much less forgiving than cheaper bendable neck fans. I hear the cheaper Coolify models don't have the same problem.The battery life on max air with the cold function burns up about +/-1% a minute. I did not let it drain to zero to see exactly how minutes it gives on max or any other setting. I also did not do any battery life tests with the heat function.The loudness factor is also a bit much when it is on full blast. The noise when setting it on low is fine and not too bad on medium.The thermochromic bonus feature (available in the deluxe stainless steel limited edition only) adds zero value as it changes color rarely and only on the inside of the band where no one will see it.OVERALLThe Coolify Cyber is a cool idea (pardon the pun) but overpriced for what it does. I say this primarily because of its limited effectiveness in higher temperatures, and that it's better for indoor home or office use than going outside. If you're only dealing with temperatures in the mid-70s to mid-80s and intend to use the device mostly indoors without AC, you might love it.While I chose to return my Cyber, I do like the direction where Torras is taking their Coolify line. I'm sure they'll continue to keep iterating newer, better, and more powerful versions. Hopefully, someday the features match the price.UPDATE (August 12, 2024): Torras provided excellent after-sales service. They contacted me and made sure my refund was processed quickly and smoothly. They also told me their after-sales service doesn't just apply to refunds, but for any help customers might need. So don't be afraid to contact them, and don't be afraid to take a chance on trying their products. I'm glad I did, and would definitely buy from them again.

This stuff in amazing .Cooling in SummerHeating in WinterHeavy WeightNo doubt ease of useControllable throungh your phone

It’s tight on my neck and then it leaves my neck sweat. It definitely blows cool air but I don’t the fan on my neck tight making me sweaty

I have Coolify 2. Still running great after 2 years. Coolify Cyber is offering many step-up features from Coolify 2.Great to see these new features:With 3 large cold plates, the unit covered more area. Provide faster and constant cooling effect.Added additional wind tunnels for improved heat dissipation in different areas.Larger battery capacity, faster charging speed, and charging with unit running are great for longer usage time.The product has a good weight. Solid build. Easy to use. Linked up to Bluetooth quickly and easily. The app is easy to use. Provided different options for customizing to fit my need. Auto mode is great. Set it and forget it.

It cools you instantly, lowers your body temperature!And also heats up to close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.The fan mode circulates regular ambient air, but it is also very efficient.Pricey, but very happy with the purchase as I live in the Tropics, with unbearable hot days.Highly recommend.

Had this thing sticking to my neck all day. The unit fits snuggly around your neck because it needs to for the ac to work. When you sweat it is very uncomfortable. It weighs 350g and is a lot heavier than their other neck units. The battery only last 1.5 hrs. with the ac turned on. It doesn't work very well in a hot and humid environment.

Disappointed that it didn’t work for me so I returned it
