When you’re spending time outdoors this summer, it can be tough to stay cool — especially in light of the many heat waves that have already gripped parts of the country this season.

There are the old stand-bys of avoiding the sun between peak hours, sticking to shaded areas and staying hydrated, but for many people who work outdoors or have no other option but to be outside in the heat, it can be a challenge to beat the heat. Enter: the JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan.

Why shoppers love it

So far this hands-free fan has earned a 4.5-star rating from more than 1,600 customer reviews, with shoppers praising its battery life and comfort. Whether you’re travelling, spending time outdoors, or just in need of a quick way to cool down, the JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan is a must-have for summer.

According to reviewers, this fan is “silent enough, lightweight, has long battery life, charges quickly and moves a good amount of air.” Shoppers who sweat a lot have even called this gadget “a godsend,” for use during work or as an antidote to hot flashes.

“I am currently going through menopause and this neck fan has been awesome,” one shopper shared.

Many reviewers have noted that this fan’s airflow at the back of the neck is not as strong as they had hoped, but since it comes with a lightweight and inconspicuous design, shoppers say that it’s worth the tradeoff.

“I enjoy the one with the fans in the front a little more, however, this one is WAY better if you're doing any type of activity,” reads one review.

Verdict

At $50, this portable fan may not be the most affordable version on the market, but its hands-free design and effective cooling make it a top pick among shoppers. With a quiet motor and bladeless design, shoppers say it'll cool you down — but if the back of your neck is the area you're particularly looking to cool, you may want to bypass this option.
