Keeping cool during a hot UK summer isn’t always easy, especially when the weather tops 30 degrees. Putting on a fan is a great way to ensure a room is a nice temperature, but shoppers have found a nifty way to stay comfortable even on the move.
The Morelax Portable Neck Fan may sound unusual, however, the clever device has racked up impressive ratings from Amazon shoppers, with many people blown away by how well it works. Now on sale with prices starting from £14.99, the handy gadget is essentially a fan that sits around the neck, blowing cold air and cooling down the body.
Allowing wearerse to go hands-free, they can potter around performing tasks such as cleaning, gardening, or walking to the shop, without the worry of feeling too hot and sweaty. As well as during summer, customers say it’s excellent for those suffering with hot flushes.
One such person wrote: “Absolutely love it! So much so I bought two so I always have one fully charged. Experiencing heat surges in late perimenopause is tough going but this is making them so much more manageable. Click it on as soon as I feel a surge coming and it greatly reduces the severity. Well worth the money. Wouldn’t be without it during this phase.”
The fan comes in three colours – green, pink and white, and boasts three wind speed modes. Battery life is 4 to 16 hours, depending on the speed chosen and consumers applaud it for being comfortable and quiet.
Another happy customer found relief from the soaring temperatures, writing: “What a great product! No longer am I overcome by a sweaty face when walking, cooking or doing pretty much any activity in the summer heat! It’s so quiet that it doesn’t disturb anyone else. It’s lightweight, comfortable to wear, easy to charge and one of my favourite purchases already…. after two days! Good value for money and does what it says it will.”
And someone else said: “This portable neck fan is a life saver. It’s lightweight and comfortable, perfect for hot days in the UK as there is hardly any breeze. The fan has 3 speed settings, so you can adjust the airflow to your liking. The battery life is impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge. It’s also quiet, so it won’t disturb you with any jet noise. If you’re looking for a convenient way to stay cool on the go, this portable neck fan is a must-have in this heatwave in the UK.”
A third person commented: “Wow what a difference an excellent product, well made and oh so much quieter. It cools me down very quickly and especially when I am having hot flushes.”
Boots also stock a neck fan specifically designed for menopause – the Menopause & Me Wearable Neck Fan is £15.99 and shoppers say ‘it keeps headaches and dizzy spells away’. Alternatively, Debenhams have reduced the N25 USB Outdoor Portable Neck Cooling Mini Fan down to £19.99 in a 20% off sale.
When it comes to the Amazon neck fan, someone found issues with the sizing, saying ‘it’s good don’t get me wrong but not big enough for round my neck it’s not wide enough for me – no good if you have a wide neck.’
However, it was hailed as a go-to at the moment by someone else commenting: “Really happy with my neck fan best thing ever especially with the heatwave we have been having in the UK – it’s comfortable to wear.”
