Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this for myself and loved it so much, ending up getting it as a birthday gift for a relative. They loved it! Battery life as described, works excellent!

Love this best travel fan I’ve purchase definitely worth it. Recommend 100%

Awesome product but fan is way too noisy but otherwise works well haven’t pushed the battery to the limit yet but will soon

Very powerful and great color options. Will be using this on vacation.

It’s a great little fan. I honestly wish it was a tad bit smaller, but it gets the job done.

This is a must have product especially when heading to warm places

You can take it anywhere and it works really great.

Really nice in the Houston Texas heat. Very powerful and effective.

For the cost of this item, I expected the cooling plate to get as cold as ice like the Amazon dupe I found does. At its best, it just feels like metal that’s been sitting in a cool place vs a chilled metal. I wish it was more of a 3 in 1 product vs the 3 attachments being separate, would be easy to lose and hard to take all of them in a small bag. I will say the battery life was very good!

Had some nice features but didn’t work as well as my $23 Amazon fan

This portable cooler is quite interesting and generally well designed, but it's not without flaws. It has some strong points and a few areas that could improve, depending on how you intend to use it. It seems like a product made for real-life situations rather than just looking good on paper. However, small drawbacks do become more noticeable with continued use. The design stands out. It is not just a basic handheld fan; it offers more than one function. It feels like thought went into how people would use it in different settings. Whether you're at a desk doing homework, relaxing at home, or trying to cool down outdoors, the device aims to meet those needs. The rotating design is one of its best features. You can adjust its angle and position easily without having to hold it constantly or prop it up with other items. This flexibility makes it more practical than typical small fans or portable coolers, which usually blow air in one direction and limit your control over positioning. The package is simple but complete. You receive the main unit with the fan attached, a cold plate, and a mister attachment. It also includes a USB-C charging cable, replacement wicks for the mister, and a small carrying pouch for accessories. Nothing feels overly fancy, but it is organized and practical. It provides everything you need to start using it right away without complications or unnecessary extras. The main device's build is a bit different from what you might expect from an ordinary portable fan. It consists of two connected cylindrical sections. One part contains the fan and motor, while the other holds the battery and control system. These sections can rotate relative to each other, allowing for various positioning options. This feature is more useful than it may seem. For instance, you can place it on a table and angle it to blow air upward, which is effective when sitting or lying down. It offers a level of flexibility that most basic fans lack. The controls are straightforward and user-friendly. There is a dial that you can turn and press, along with a display screen that shows the current mode and settings. You don’t need instructions to understand it, which is always a good sign. It is designed to be simple enough for anyone to pick up and use right away. When you switch attachments, the display updates to match the mode, making it more organized and less confusing. A minor drawback is that the screen does not rotate with the device's position. As a result, it can be slightly awkward to read depending on how you set it down. It’s not a major issue, but it is something you might notice. The fan performs well. It moves a good amount of air for its size, and the adjustable speed settings provide flexibility based on your needs. At lower speeds, it is fairly quiet and comfortable in spaces like bedrooms, classrooms, or study areas. It generates a gentle airflow that isn’t distracting. However, as you increase the speed, the noise level rises. It is not harsh or annoying, but it is noticeable. In quiet settings, especially on higher settings, it can become distracting over time. While this doesn’t make the device unusable, it’s something to consider if you prefer near-silent cooling. The cold plate attachment is one of the system's standout features. It cools quickly and provides immediate relief when it touches your skin. Its direct and simple action makes it effective. There aren't many settings or adjustments, but it doesn't require them. It serves as an immediate cooling method when airflow alone isn’t sufficient. It's particularly beneficial when you're already feeling too hot and want quick relief instead of gradual cooling. The mister attachment is also helpful, although it's more situational. It produces a fine, cool mist without making your skin wet or sticky. This is a significant advantage, as some similar products can leave you feeling damp, which is uncomfortable. This one maintains a light and refreshing mist. However, it's not something you'll use all the time. It has small internal wicks that need replacing over time, and while extras are included, it requires ongoing maintenance. It isn’t difficult or expensive, but it is an extra step that some might not want to handle regularly. Battery life is probably one of the weaker aspects of the device. It’s not terrible, but it’s not impressive either. At higher speeds, the battery drains fairly quickly, which can be limiting if you’re outdoors for extended periods or away from a charger. It works fine for short sessions or indoor use, but it might not last as long as expected for prolonged cooling. On the bright side, it uses USB-C for charging, making it easy to recharge with common cables or portable power banks. This helps offset the shorter battery life, but a longer runtime would still be an improvement. Portability is also worth mentioning. While it is technically portable, it’s not extremely small or lightweight. The rotating design and multiple parts add some bulk compared to a basic handheld fan. It’s still manageable to carry in a bag, but you won’t completely forget it’s there. Whether this matters depends on your intended use. If you want something minimal and light, it might feel a bit bulky. However, if you value features and flexibility, the size is reasonable. Overall, this is a solid product with thoughtful design choices. It goes beyond being a basic fan by offering multiple cooling methods in one device, and it largely succeeds. The rotating structure is genuinely beneficial, the cold plate performs well, and the misting feature provides additional cooling when necessary. However, it’s not without its flaws. The noise at higher speeds, average battery life, and minor usability issues like the non-rotating screen become apparent over time. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile cooling device who doesn’t mind a few trade-offs. However, if you seek something extremely simple, completely silent, and ultra-lightweight, this might feel a bit more complex than needed.

isn’t as strong and cooling as the features said it would be

I’m a big fan of another company that makes very powerful and VERY expensive fans, but their small personal fans aren’t very powerful . So when I saw Shark had this (and I’m a fan of many Shark/Ninja products) I had to give it a try! Fan: wow, how is this little guy so powerful? 10 different speeds! The manual suggests levels 1-5 are for indoor use, while 6-10 are for outdoor use. If I’m just working during the day, level 3 is good enough to provide comfort and not be ridiculously loud - the quieter the room, the louder this is going to be, and i work in a quiet environment. When I’m on my treadmill though, 5/6 are perfect as treadmill is louder anyways. Mist: This was the one of the main reasons for trying, MIST?? What? Why didn’t this exist 20 years ago? The mist setting itself was a little difficult for me to figure out. Every time I pressed the button it would just turn off - because I was pressing it too hard. It’s a light press to cycle through the mist settings. Once I figured it out, I was happy. Pros: Fan is very strong and you can direct it straight to your face/body by angling it Mist feature is great, it’s surprisingly strong and feels good on the body You can use a lanyard on to carry it on your body. There are other accessories on Shark’s website Cons: Fan level 5-10 are very loud and not entirely suitable for indoors/quiet settings Mist: you’re supposed to replace the wicks every 30 days, 1 is pre-installed, 3 spares included. Looking at the website, it’s sold out, and I worry what I’m going to do when I run out

Just in time for the upcoming summer heat, the ChillPill will be a welcome addition to staying cool. The main reason I wanted this is because I previously traveled to the Philippines and plan to go back soon. It is extremely hot all day and night and air conditioning can be hard to come by. In the meantime, I have been testing it out and there are benefits to all three attachments. The manual states the normal ‘fan’ function lasts for 1.5 hours at the highest setting. I tested out this claim and am happy to report that it actually lasted for 3 hours at level 10 with continuous ‘always on’ usage until the battery died. This makes me feel confident that it will be a trusty companion in the upcoming summer months. The other two attachments may keep you cooler when compared to the ‘fan’ attachment, but the battery life will be less. The mist feature and the cooling plate both perform well and go into effect almost instantly. I would compare the cooling plate to an ice, like the shock feeling of dropping an ice cube down the back of your shirt. Just rub it over your skin to cool yourself down quickly or perhaps your forehead when you have a fever/headache. There were two drawbacks that I felt are worth mentioning: the sound of the fan at higher settings is a bit loud. Also, without being able to store them within the unit, having to carry the extra attachments could become annoying if I plan to use more than one feature while I am doing activities outdoors. Overall, I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a portable cooling system.

This fan is way to much money to not be blowing at least the same level as those handheld fans you find on Amazon save your money

The name of this handy product speaks for itself. It is a battery operated, highly portable personal cooling system. The first thing that I need to mention is to not let the small size of this fan fool you! This little guy can belt out a surprising amount of fan power. The fan is so powerful that I was regularly using the lower settings. As the product description states, this is a 3 in 1 personal cooling system. The three functions are a high speed fan, cooling plate, and dry mist. Included in the box are the 2 attachments (dry mist and cooling plate), USB-C charging cord, and a soft bag. Once charged the ChillPill is easy to put into play. The battery is rated to last between 1 to 11 hours depending on the power level that is selected. I used it easily for a few hours and did not notice the battery level reduce itself too significantly. The fan can not be used while charging. The ChillPill and accessories are highly portable using the included soft bag. It can be adjusted in many different orientations and also worn using straps (not included). Overall I am very pleased with the look and operation of the Shark ChillPill. I have already gotten inquiries and looks of interest while I am out and about with it. With summer around the corner I am very much looking forward to putting this handy dandy guy to some serious outdoor use.

Summertime is quickly approaching and the compact, rechargeable Shark ChillPill personal bladeless fan has some tricks up it's shaft that looks to keep you cool when the temps start creeping up. Those trick come in the form of swappable attachments. A bladeless fan, a dry-touch misting pod and a metal InstaChill cooling plate that gets noticeably cold on contact. Product claims of 16°F drops sound ambitious but in real use it does feel nice in cool on the spots it makes initial contact with. But with prolonged contact I can feel the plate get a bit warm. The Chill Pill runs on 10 fan speeds (speeds 1-5 recommended for indoor use and the rest for outdoor use). The battery that lasts decently on lower settings but drops fairly quickly on high. I found the battery to be adequate to last enough for me to mow my lawn. I jerry rigged it to my mower because it doesn't come with an attachment (more on that) and was able 2 have the fan run the entire time. The mister provides a quick refresh the evaporates before soaking you. The plate gives direct cooling on hot spots like your neck or wrists. The ChillPill is geared for anyone dealing with heat, workouts, or frequent travel find it useful for on-the-go cooling and offers more options that a basic travel fan. On the downside, higher fan speeds get pretty loud, the mist reservoir is small and lasts only about 10 minutes on continuous mode. The accessories like straps, belt clip and handlebar mount cost extra and some aren't even available at the moment which is why I had 2 get creative mounting it to my mower. At the price point of around $150 it should have at least included a clip or strap for hands free carrying. At least a small carrying bag is included for the 2 different heads. Every accessory Shark sell seems like a complete money grab especially for what Shark is charging for the accessories. While the ChillPill isn't massive, it will take up and entire pocket or occupy 1 hand without an accessory. Build quality is solid, multi-mode cooler is intuitive to use out of the box without reading the instructions and it works better than a cheapo personal fan. Charging from flat dead will take just about 3.5 hours which is a bit long, but can be used while plugged in. The Chillpill is effective if you overheat easily and want options in a small package, but the noise, limited mist runtime, and cost (plus added accessories) might make it less appealing. If you want more than just a simple personal fan and the added cooling options from the mist and metal plate interest you, the ChillPill is a capable and useful gadget for hot weather. However, the high price combined with expensive (and sometimes unavailable) make it nice to have vs a need to have. It’s a strong performer, but only worth it if the alternative cooling features meaningfully appeal to you and you’re okay buying extra accessories to make it truly convenient.

It has been said that there are no bad products; only bad prices. That is definitely the case here. This is a versatile fan that is obviously high quality, but at the MSRP, this is a tough sell. The unit consists of two cylinders, connected by a swivel joint in the middle. One cylinder has the battery and controls, while the other holds the fan assembly. The trick here is that the fan assembly has three different head attachments which give it different functionality. I will go over these one-by-one. – High Speed Fan – This is the default attachment, and the unit is then “just” a fan. The thing to note is that the fan itself is just a scaled-down hair dryer motor. It does move enough air to keep you cool, but the stream of air is rather narrow and will need to be carefully aimed. Note that it is audible at the lowest setting, and quite loud at the highest. You do get 10 speed levels. If you just need a fan, you can get much less expensive units that move more air with less noise, but are physically larger. – InstaCool Cooling Plate – A Peltier junction is a type of semiconductor that actually acts as an air conditioner. One side of the diode gets hot while the other grows cold. Amazing cool technology, with the singular disadvantage being that it is remarkably inefficient. The Peltier head is called the “InstaChill Cooling Plate” and it works. The fan cools off the hot side of the diode, while the cold side connects to a metal plate. The airflow is directed out and sideways so that you are not hit with the warm air, and the cold plate can be touched directly to the forehead, neck, etc. While it works, it does feel more like a gimmick. Still, if you live in a humid environment, this will create a spot that is lower than the ambient temperature and provide some relief. This is a feature that is unusual, but does exist on other competing units. – Dry-Touch Mist – This is actually VERY nice to have. The head has a small water reservoir that goes to a piezo humidifier head. The result is that you get a fine mist that evaporates, which actually creates a cool stream of air, and it feels heavenly. The big catch here is that this type of technology only works well in dry climates. I live in a semi-arid area with low humidity, so this works amazingly well for me. The disadvantage is that this will NOT work if you live in a humid area. If it is a dry heat, this will help. If it is hot and muggy, this might not be that helpful. While this works, one thing to note is that the water supply is so small that it only lasts about 10 minutes before you are refilling it again. Also of note is that the wick in the head is supposed to be replaced every month, but it does come with three spares. – Conclusion – This is a jack of all trades, but a master of none. It is versatile, but that versatility comes with a very real cost. I like it, but at the MSRP, this is a tough sell.

This is one fancy hand held fan. The most basic feature is obviously the fan. It works well and gets going to a pretty good speed pushing out a really good amount of air for how small the unit is. The misting option is great and can give you a constant stream of mist or sporadic puffs. I basically live in a desert so this option is the best for really strong consistent cooling. In fairly humid places this is not going to work as well and will make you feel like you’re wet and sweating more if you use it too much, but the cool water feels really nice on a hot day in the sun. The biggest issue with this mode is that the water tank isn’t really that big. I’m used to using a fan attached to a large spray bottle. Those fan/bottles work ok. The fans really aren’t strong enough but it holds a lot more water. This device is the opposite. Overall I would say this is the better way to go since its easy to just refill it with water, but a weak fan really can’t be fixed without just switching devices. The cooling plate is an interesting idea. It basically is just a big flat heat sink. It cools itself by blowing the fan behind the plate, not some sort of refrigeration. It gives you a targeted cool in a slightly larger area, and does feel nice, but it really doesn’t get that cold. If you’re also in a pretty hot area, it doesn’t cool down a ton and it says to not use it in an area over 90 degrees. That makes sense since at temperatures higher than that it will only bring the plate down to room temperature and give the body temperature of a person, it won’t feel like it does anything if the air temperature is over 90. I guess if you don’t want it to blow around mess up your hair its a pretty good alternative. Personally I’ll just use the fan or mist. The shape is a bit weird, but functionally its really nice. You can hold it in any number of directions and it balances really well to sit on a desk or ledge so you can get it to point at you without having to hold it up the whole time. Battery life is decent but it won’t come close to lasting you all day if you want to take it to an amusement park or something. I forgot to time it to see how long it is exactly, but it will vary depending on what mode you are using and how strong a fan you are running. The fan charges on a standard usb-c, so if you do run out of power it should be pretty easy to find something to recharge it with. Overall a great fancy little fan that I plan on taking on all my summer hikes.

Was excited about this fan with the cool plate. But it’s very loud and the cool plate isn’t cool.
