Dear Mike,
I really liked that Embr Wave watch you wrote about last month for your wife’s hot flashes, but at $300 it’s out of my price range. Do you know of a more affordable solution? —Rita
To review
Here’s what I published about the Embr Wave last month.
Yes, it works great. And yes, it’s expensive. But here’s another possible solution that’s quite inexpensive and shareable. Yes, you can get a pair of them (or more) in contrasting colors.
The Necklace Fan
I bought two of these fans for my wife, Linda and myself last year, and they’ve been great. The 02COOL Necklace Fan has a built-in lithium battery that runs for up to 12 hours. It can be recharged with a standard Micro-USB cable and power supply.
Note that the stream of air blows straight up, so your face gets a windy breeze with both of your hands still free. It has three speed settings from gentle to a significant breeze. And it’s really very quiet, so you won’t bother anyone else in the room.
Linda uses her O2COOL fan while working in the garden, walking when the weather isn’t cool, or even in church when the air conditioning isn’t on. What’s not to like?
How much does it cost?
That’s the best part. You can buy a pair of these O2COOL fans on Amazon for less than $40. In fact, I had to buy a few extra for Linda to give to her sister and a friend as birthday gifts. So be prepared for your friends to ask where you got it.
Keep Cool… O2 Cool!
Looks like this is going to be a hot summer, so remember to hydrate and keep out of the sun as much as possible. And any kind of fan will help keep you cool as well. You can find the O2COOL personal fans on Amazon HERE. Just note that there’s a version that requires 2 AA replaceable batteries, and you want the rechargeable version.
OK, everyone. Remember that electricity is a useful and powerful force, so we all need to pay attention to safety precautions while using it.
Let’s play safe out there…. Mike
