Were you aware that neck worn personal air conditioning devices are a thing. I wasn't...until now.

NOTE - this is not a substitute for a full traditional air conditioning system - it merely cools your head and neck to some degree.

Summer in England is my favourite week of the year.

The fact that this neck band actually works was not on my bingo card as a dystopian fashion accessory of the near future. The movies really missed predicting that one.

[TheBitGuy]

Darnit... Now I'm going to have to go buy one of these. Thanks a lot!

Recently it's popular in Japan to wear jackets with inbuilt fans, perhaps Techmoan needs to try those too !

One quick heads up if you're a person with long hair! This thing doesn't do the best job at excluding hair from the intakes. It's probably worse for people who have very curly and frizzy hair like me. Put your hair in a tight bun before you put this thing on or you'll get to listen to the intake fans slowly chew away at your hair. Other neck doohickeys do a better job at excluding hair, but none of them have the price/performance of this one.

EDIT: I'll note that I have very frizzy, curly hair. I think people with straight hair will have a better time. The issue isn't bad enough for me to stop using the thingy. I still use mine frequently.

If you can cool your neck it cools the blood flowing through the main arteries, which cools your body down.
For years when working outside I kept a damp kerchief around my neck to do the same thing.
Brilliant idea.

[ObviouslyMadeupname]

I picked one of these up after watching this video and, of course, Mat is absolutely right.

Funny though, after a couple of hours wearing this on a hot day, I thought to myself I didn’t need it as it wasn’t actually all that hot after all. I took it off, and only then did I realise it was actually very hot - but it had been working so well I didn’t notice while it was doing its job.

[Steinninn]

Im not sure why I watched the entire video. I have no use for it since I live in Iceland. I guess I like watching Techmoan to much. Ill watch anything he reviews 😂

[bitfreakazoid]

Please never change the ending credits you due. The combination of this really pleasing/relaxing song with the clips of the mechanical stuff is just really nice.

0:45 Mat wants to be a little bit cooler... but is that possible? 😎

[wheelsfun]

Matt just to let you know. These exact same ones were taken off the market here in Taiwan.

There were two injuries caused by the internal batteries catching on fire.

Luckily no one died, but in both cases they caused severe burns.

The Taiwan importer was ordered to remove them from the market. Retailers that sold them to customers were told to give full refunds to any customers who bought them.

Taiwan’s Customs and Border Control. Also confiscated units that were located at Taipei Port.

That Dyson thing you mentioned reminds me of when my Dad was in a hospice in the middle of summer with these useless £500 Dyson fans pointlessly blowing over his head rather than at him. One of their posters proudly announced 'You told us it was too hot for the patients in the summer so we listened. We have spent £10, 000 on Dyson fans to cool the air down.' Which made me furious as there he was lying there in a boiling hot room with an expensive Dyson blowing hot air a foot above him. To think they could have spent £300 on portable air conditioners for each room or cheaper still at about £50 a large freestanding fan pointing at him at the foot of the bed. They have these useless Dyson fans all over my local National Trust house too, they must have spent a fortune on them. Dyson has brilliant marketing.

Air conditioning in the UK is definitely gonna be a massive growth sector going ahead

[ricardo_f_t_gomes]

The magic of Peltier cells, I could spend a day writing about cool stuff you can do with them 😊
Thanks for the review, I wouldn't expect this to work so well and become something commercially reasonable in this kind of application.

[UgurOnderBozkurt]

03:15 there is a turkish sayings "keep your head cool and keep your feet warm" :) its about general health of our body.

[SotnekronOfficial]

As someone who does cleaning inside hot buildings and outside on the construction sites, this will come in handy. Thanks for sharing.

1:30 I complained to the advertising standards authority about the Dyson advertising years ago. They also had videos when they launched those “cool” fans. I complained that the blue air in the graphic and the choice of words implied that you could choose to have cool air. They didn’t uphold the complaint at all and said they believed that consumers would all realise that it wasn’t an air conditioner.

I can just hear the puppets "Hot in the UK, I live on the equator where we fry our breakfast on the street every morning"

[mandolinic]

I live in the UK - in an air conditioned house, together with solar panels on the roof. The air con systems get used for much more than cooling the house on hot summer days. They also reduce humidity, and are high efficiency heaters, which come into their own in mid to late spring, and early to mid autumn. Most of the time we use them, the solar panels are generating more current than the house uses, so they don't have to cause sky high bills.

I've just ordered one for my holidays on the strength of this review. Cheers Matt
