So far, I really like the COOLiFY Cyber. I haven't tried it on a very hot day yet, but it certainly keeps me cool on warm days. I like how I can set the cooling fan to max for a quick cooldown, then set the power to 30% so it's not so loud. While it's a large device, it fits very comfortably around my neck. I find that it does not rest on any pressure points, so it's fine for long periods of time without an issue. The app is easy to use, as well as the physical buttons on the Cyber. And the buttons are intuitive. The case is also a nice touch. Very solid, rugged, and premium-feeling.
For negatives, of course, there's the price. But, for something that provides active & immediate cooling, I do find that it's worth the money. I wish that the battery life was a bit better. After about an hour and a half, it was half-power. But I can connect an external battery, so essentially I can use it all day, as long as I have the power banks to do so. Lastly, I wish it came with something like a thin fabric sleeve that I could slip the Cyber into, so the cooling elements aren't directly against my skin. I did find that to be slightly uncomfortable after a while.
All in all, I love the product, and the pros vastly outweigh the cons. I'm glad I splurged and made the purchase.

Pros
Effective cooling (especially indoors or in moderate heat):
“This thing genuinely makes a difference on hot days—way more effective than those basic neck fans… The Cyber gets super COLD and feels great.”
Similarly, many users note that the cooling plates feel like an “ice pack that wouldn’t melt,” and the airflow reaches their upper back effectively .
Comfort and design: Well-balanced and wearable for longer periods; adjustable for various neck sizes .
Multi-functionality: Heating mode is a helpful bonus—some describe it as akin to a “warm towel around your neck” .
App control: Users appreciate the full customization, timer, and auto-adjust features enabled by the companion app .
Battery longevity on lower settings: Reviewers report that in low-speed fan mode, it can last several hours—some even tested it through a power outage .
Cons
Limited outdoor performance / modest cooling in high heat:
“It does help bring my temp down… but it does struggle if it's warm and humid outside.”
Another notes: “I could barely feel the cold air ... even when setting it at 100%.”
Noise & weight: On high settings, the fan noise is louder; the unit is bulkier than many other neck fans (~1 lb), and can feel tight over time .
Battery drain in cooling mode: Full cooling drains the battery in ~2 hours, which may not suit all-day outdoor use .
Pricey: Many reviewers feel that its cost may not justify the experience, especially when compared to simpler, cheaper neck fans.

When I first decided to try this out, I have to admit I was skeptical. There are a lot of “neck cooling” things out there that range from cooling bandanas to small fans. Most seem more like a gimmick than something that would actually keep you cool. After using the COOLiFY for a week now, though, I can see it’s in a different class. I think it’s really going to help me stay cooler this summer.
I live in the south where it can get crazy hot and humid in the middle of summer. The humidity factor essentially eliminates any kind of evaporative cooling (like the wet bandana). The COOLiFY, though, produces its own cooling electrically. Putting it around your neck is like having an ice pack that stays cool as long as the battery lasts.
It also has fans on the sides and back to blow air against your head. You can select either the side, back, or both at once. On those sweltering days outdoors with no wind, this will be very nice. Indoors, I’ve noticed the side ones can sometimes dry out my eyes, so then I just turn those off but keep the fan on the back of my head going. At the middle speed setting or higher, the noise does become a factor depending on what you may be doing.
This time of year, we haven’t had any super-hot weather, yet. But testing it outside on some 85 to 90 degree days it has worked pretty well. Like everyone knows in the wintertime, you lose a lot of body heat from your neck and head area. Having this cool pack around your neck in the summer heat, then, is an efficient way to get rid of body heat to cool down.
On days when it’s not too hot outside, if I’m out exercising it doesn’t feel too bad. But then when I come in the house it always seems way hotter until I can cool down to a normal inside temperature. When that happens, I’ve put the COOLiFY on and it definitely helped cool down a lot faster.
I also want to mention that it is reasonably comfortable to wear. It might look a little funny, but it’s comfortable enough that I mostly forget I’m wearing it. It stays in place really well, too, even when I’m working outside moving around a lot. It seems to keep a pretty good grip on my skin without being uncomfortable.
I’ve only talked about cooling so far, but it also does provide heat. I don’t know how much I’ll use that, but it’s a nice option to have. It does get quite warm and I could see where that would feel good on a blustery winter day.
For changing modes and adjusting settings, you can do pretty much everything using the power and mode buttons. But the quickest and easiest way to change the settings is to use the app. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone and the Bluetooth connection has worked flawlessly for me so far. When the COOLiFY is around your neck, the most convenient way to make adjustments is to just pull out your phone rather than take it off your neck.
I haven’t used it for an extended period of time yet (more than an hour) but based on that I expect the rated 2.6 hour cooling time on the lowest setting to be accurate. It has a 6,000 mAh battery, but if you need more time, you could get an external power pack and charge it even while you’re using it.
I’m really looking forward to having this through our 100-degree days this summer. The older I get, the less I seem to tolerate the heat, so every little bit of cooling will help. Time will tell if it holds up to daily use, but it does have a 180-day warranty that you can extend to one year by registering at the TorrasLife website.

I bought this in hopes to help me stay a bit dryer as i tend to run hot. It did help bring my temp down and keep me a bit cooler but it does struggle if its warm and humid outside. The vooling sections did not get as cool when outside as they do indoors which kind of defeats the point as indoors the ac can be turned down. Battery life was alright when running it 30-50%.

I was recently diagnosed with ME/CFS, which means heat is a no go for me, and as a professional drycleaner I am always stuck in 90° year round. This device has made it so i can work an entire shift without having any symptom flair ups,(i do have flair ups, just not caused by heat). Something about having those cooling plates around the neck makes my whole body cool down. I will say the fan does catch my hairs so i have to wrap my hair or where a head band. But if you can deal with it i think its worth it! I am also bigger than your average bear and it doesnt close on your neck to tight, i do think it could be a sensory issue for some but for the most part you really just notice its there.

Great neck fan. Keeps me cool while working in the greenhouse, however you have to keep your hair up and tight. Otherwise fan can pull them in and they get caught.

Great build quality I think this technology is close. The actual fans i find annoying because of the noise. The cooling and warming plate is awesome in warm or cool weather. But in extreme temperatures like I work in every summer the cooling plate isn’t very effective. Also i work 12 hour shifts and i get around 4 hours of battery life. But thankfully they will run off a battery pack in my pocket so the mild inconvenience of being teathered beats nothing at all. I bought these for the cooling but I’ll probably use the heat more often

Best neck cooler or heater on the market. Works great with phone app. App shows you the remaining battery life. Have a large power brick handy if you are using it for more than a few hours. You can connect it to a battery for long continuous use. Worth the high cost.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of this things capability to cool. Given the price point, I was expecting somewhat of a miracle. I would say this more than capable neck fan delivers in every way that I had hoped, with one caveat. I was lucky enough to time buying this with a trip to Europe during one of their recent heat waves. For those that don’t know, the air conditioning in Europe is nowhere near what it’s like in the United States so many of the hotel rooms were stuffy outside temps of near 100. This thing delivered more than I expected in terms of cooling me off enough to actually enjoy my time. The one area this thing struggles is outdoors. When the sun is shining and the temps are high, the heat will always win. I will say this maybe marginally makes it better, but you’re still going to be sweating.
Overall, I’m happy with it!

Gift for wife having hot flashes. She loves it. Helped a lot in areas that everyone else was comfortable. Only issue was her hair getting picked up by fan, so she tied it back.

Not made for people with long hair. The little fan will pull stay hair in and pull out quite painfully. Otherwise cools nicely on a very hot day for a few hours.

Menopause has left me in the sweats and I NEEDED THIS so bad here in the RGV. This thing comes in clutch when i'm just seconds away from turning into a rage machine. It has several settings I choose Artic Ice mode and I'm instantly transported from the heat of the Devil's sac to the nice chill of Supermans ice palace and all can live.

It was a life save for me while traveling through Europe under heat dome, it is actually reducing the temperature around your head and neck around 3-4 degrees, which makes a lot of difference. Battery is good for 2-3 hours constant use, and you can control the device from your phone if needed.

First, it’s useless outdoors in Az during the summer. I did like for cooling down after I stepped back inside though. The two things that made me return it are, thats it’s a slightly snug fit for bigger dudes (cooling plates didn’t even make contact with my wife’s itty bitty neck, so she couldn’t use it), and then the area under the cooling plates in the arms would actually get uncomfortably hot after prolonged use. These cooling plates draw heat away and then a fan blows the heat out. Unfortunately it feels like this one blows the heat right down onto your neck. I did grab their cheaper model, and it only cools the back of the neck, but is a much better fit for big guys, and theres a seperate fan that activates to blow the heat straight back and off the neck, beside the fans that blow upward to cool you.
