DesertWest 2024 Flagship Portable Neck Fan Rechargeable, Revolutionize Cooling with Quad-Turbo Fan Technology, Neck Cooler, Foldable Neck Cooling Fan with USB-C Charing

The media could not be loaded. I’m pretty impressed by this fan. I have a heat intolerance and I’ve purchased every type of fan, neck fans, hand held fans, hat fans, even cooling towels. And the biggest complaint of these other fans is that I look ridiculous. The hat fan looks silly and it has a very small battery. The neck fans nice but you really do look silly. Those 2 big fans might as well be Mickey ears. But I took comfort vs looks. These actually look a pair of headphones and no one even thinks anything about it. My wife who laughed at me before has now said that we should get a second for her.Now to the actual product. On arrival everything seemed very premium. From the packaging to the fan itself. I was a little worried about getting it around my neck since I have a pretty large neck 19”. But the rubber piece at the back is actually a flex point. On my wife it’s loose and on me it’s snug but not tight. And it doesn’t seem to restrict the airflow. The only issue I have is that I had no idea which was to wear these. But I figured it out fast, the desert west logo inside you have to have to facing so you can read it right side up. Makes sense. And the mystery button on the side is to turn off the back fans. The other is the 3 speed button.As fas as fan positioning the one on the bottom side in the back is nicely positioned so it blows air down your back and it works out that it’s down your shirt. The vents upwards seem to blow air around the sides of my head. Not so much my face but that might be my big neck situation. It dangles further down on my wife. But my wife has very thick hair and she said it felt great under her hair. I took a short video of the fan noise on low medium and high and low is whisper quiet. High you can hear but that’s expected.They do seem to cost a little bit more than my other fans but being discreet vs the others and I have purchased desert west products in the past I know they stand behind their products. I had an issue long after my purchase and they resolved it immediately. That means a lot that it’s not some fly by night operation.Buy it and I hope it helps you like it does me.

My wife is going through hot flashes but wants to keep walking out doors in the summer (Work lunch break). I purchased 2 neck fans, one with a water mister and this one.Most neck fans come with 2 fans which means they have to run twice as fast to push a reasonable amount of air. Twice as fast = Twice the noise !This neck fan has 4 fans. It makes some noise but my wife can talk on her iPhone with air pods and the noise is low enough for auto canceling to block the fan noise.Also with 4 fans, the air flow is spread more around the neck a lot better than a 2 fan system. The neck fan is cooling but not cold as it just blows regular air on your neck and lower head. Psychologically, with the sweat evaporating off your neck, your brain feels your body is cooler. This is a big win.The other fan I purchased, water mister neck fan was $20 and ok but we don't live in Arizona so she got wet and had to deal with the loud fans. Also for $20 you can imagine the control buttons where temperamental and frustrating to turn the water / fan on and off. That thing ended up in the trash really quickly.Back to this neck fan, this thing is truly amazing! If you have the money buy this one. It works great !

I overheat often, so I am always looking for ideas to cool down. I thought I’d try a neck fan around the house rather than cranking up the AC in the heat of the day. I have tried a few different models now and they each work as advertised. This one cost more, but also had more fans and longer battery life.However, I am very sensitive to noises and I am susceptible to ear infections. So, unfortunately for me, even on the lowest setting, this one was still too loud for me and blew into my ears.I did like the extra vents in the back blowing both up & down my neck/back, especially when I put on a tank top! The front vents only blow up, so they were blowing directly in my ears. It sounds like you’re in a wind tunnel even on the lowest setting. I tried turning it upside down, which successfully got me out of the wind tunnel. However, it seemed like the motor was louder.Also, I don’t think it is designed to work upside down. Turning it upside down left the charging port exposed. There wasn’t a cover for the USB C port. So, if I were to augment my neck fan cooling regimen with my tried & true method of using a squirt bottle mister, then the charging port would be exposed to water dripping in it. Hopefully a future model will have a little rubber cover over the USB C charging port.I understand many people (especially women wearing makeup) don’t like the squirt bottle misters because it gets them wet. So this fan is a good dry cooling method if you get acclimated to the white noise of the fans. Sadly, I couldn’t. I hope it works for others, just not the right solution for me.I still use damp frozen washcloths under my cap/hat and around my neck when in 100°F+ weather. It isn’t pretty, but it works. I’m still hoping one of these neck fans will be able to compete someday so I’ll stop being a wet mess on hot days.

This fan really worked. The processing is very high quality and successful. Nice materials. Everything fits tight. The noise level is really admirably low at stage 1. The fan cools decently in its capabilities and the air flow is pleasant. The only thing I can think of with this fan is that the sides that are attached to the face could be folded to a certain angle in individual steps and only then would the fan completely fold freely. It would help seat the fan better and center it on the neck (it wouldn't fold crookedly on the neck). The neck rest could be longer and slightly extended from the neck. It would ensure better circulation at the back of the neck and a more secure start. The folding structure is solid and it is pleasant to bring the sides closer to your face. The look is really luxurious! If you don't have excessive, pointless demands and you use it correctly, this fan is a very welcome and handy helper on hot days. Thank you very much for this nice and great working product.
