Q & A

What is the key difference between neck fans and neck air conditioners?

Neck fans typically provide air circulation to cool the user, whereas neck air conditioners often include cooling plates or systems that lower the temperature, aiming to provide more substantial cooling, much like traditional air conditioning.

Which neck fan had the highest cumulative air speed during testing?

The Chilo neck fan had the highest cumulative air speed, with a total score of 2,518, significantly outpacing the competition.

Which neck fan offered the longest runtime?

The Jishu Life neck fan had the longest runtime, lasting over 4.5 hours, which was more than twice the runtime of many other models.

Which neck fan was the most comfortable during use?

The Chilo neck fan was considered the most comfortable, receiving a very good subjective rating. Its design allows for adjustable airflow, which contributed to its comfort.
