Tried & tested by Yahoo Canada
I was skeptical about the JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan, initially thinking it was silly-looking. However, when I arrived at the airport in Orlando, I had to quickly eat my words — just about as soon as we landed, I was whipping the fan out of my bag and onto my neck.
I was impressed by the fan’s ability to blow air when in use, helping to provide some relief from the heat and humidity. The third and highest settings proved to be the most useful for me, earning this fan a spot on my list of everyday essentials when hitting the theme parks.
As temperatures soared past 35°C daily (not factoring in humidity), I found myself reaching for the neck fan on several occasions.
However, since I was using it at the highest setting, I did notice that the battery life didn’t hold up as long as I’d hoped.
If you do plan to use this fan for yourself, I recommend learning from my mistakes and keeping a power bank and charging cable on hand to avoid the battery draining halfway through the day.
