Brand: JISULIFE

The JISULIFE neck fan wears like a headset around the neck, hands-free, for continuous cooling without any effort. Its 4000mAh battery offers 4 to 16 hours of runtime depending on the speed chosen among the 3 available. Its 78 air outlets spread around the neck deliver an even flow across the whole face, with no exposed blades for safe use. Lightweight and foldable, it's easy to carry to a festival, a hike or a commute in the heat.

Worn on a long walk during a heatwave, the JISULIFE delivers on its core promise: continuous airflow around the face without having to hold anything. The 78 air outlets give an even, all-round cooling sensation, more enveloping than a simple handheld fan aimed at the face. Speed 1 is plenty for extended use while walking, speed 3 becomes useful when stationary in full sun but drains the battery faster. The claimed 16h runtime on the lowest speed held up across several consecutive outings without recharging, a real asset for a festival or a day of hiking. The around-the-neck format takes some getting used to, particularly for long hair, which is best tied back despite the absence of exposed blades. After several weeks of use, the plastic holds up decently without feeling premium, consistent with a price noticeably more accessible than the Nitecore. For extended outdoor, on-the-go use, the JISULIFE remains a benchmark in this category, as confirmed by its tens of thousands of Amazon reviews.

The JISULIFE 3-in-1 combines a handheld fan, a phone power bank and a flashlight in one compact unit. Its 2000 mAh battery delivers up to 19 hours of cooling on the lowest setting, and can also top up a phone running low on the go, at a concert, while travelling or on a night out. USB rechargeable, it weighs about 124 g and slips easily into a pocket or handbag.

The JISULIFE 3-in-1 quickly earned a spot in our travel bag this summer. The power bank function proved the most useful day to day: a phone at 8% at the end of a festival day, and a few minutes of charging was enough to make it home. The fan itself does the job without dazzling: fine on low speed, more noticeable on high, though we'd have liked more than two speed settings when other models offer dozens. The built-in flashlight came in handy more than once while camping. On size, the unit tucks into a pocket easily at 124 g, and the three configurations (pocket, handheld, desk) are well thought out. The downside: airflow stays modest compared with a dedicated turbo model, and real-world battery life on the highest setting falls well short of the claimed 19 hours. A solid all-rounder for anyone happy with that trade-off.
