COOLIFY Iva Grey

Loud even on low. No returns option from UK.

I really enjoyed using this handheld fan from Torras! I originally bought it specifically for Coachella car camping, knowing it would be hot—but I definitely wasn’t prepared for the 100-degree weather all weekend. This fan seriously saved me during the daytime and helped keep me from overheating. Functionality & Power: For its compact size, the fan performed incredibly well. It’s surprisingly powerful—even speed 1 was strong enough to cool me down when held by hand. There are 100 speed levels, and the preset buttons increase in increments of 25 for quick access, though you can manually adjust to any speed from 1–100. While the fan is definitely powerful, it can get a bit loud at higher speeds. I didn’t mind the noise since I was outdoors at a music festival, but it’s something to consider if you're using it indoors or in quieter settings. Design & Portability: I love how sleek and streamlined the design is. The fan is about the height of my iPhone 14 Pro, which made it super easy to carry around in my hydration pack. It’s lightweight and compact, which is perfect for travel or festivals. There's a built-in clip at the bottom that tucks away when not in use—though I didn’t end up using it much because the fan fit easily into the side pocket of my bag. Another thoughtful design detail is the lock button on the back, which ensures the fan won’t accidentally turn on while it’s packed away. Extra Features: The cooling zone on the fan is a nice bonus—it gets cool quickly and was great for pressing against my forehead to help cool down faster. Not exactly essential, but definitely appreciated. I also really liked the front digital display, which clearly shows the current fan speed and battery level. I used the fan on the lowest speed for about two hours over four days and never had to recharge it, which was super convenient. Value: While the fan is on the pricier side, I think it’s worth the investment. It feels durable, performs better than other handheld fans I’ve tried, and has thoughtful design features that make it stand out. I'd rather spend a little more on a quality product that will last than buy something cheaper that might not hold up. Overall, I highly recommend this fan if you’re headed somewhere hot or humid. It was the perfect companion for an outdoor music festival, and I can see it being useful for travel, commuting, or even just hot summer days.

I live in Arizona, a state with a very hot climate. The use of cooling and air movement tools is very important. The Coolify Iva does not disappoint. To start, the packaging was very solid. The fan was very well protected and all items needed to run the fan were organized very efficiently in the box. The fan itself is a very nice tool. Its construction feels very solid, not cheap or flimsy. The fan motor is very powerful for the size of the unit. I have used it indoors for extended periods of time and it has done a great job of moving the air and cooling me efficiently. Other fans that I have used do not last very long while I feel the Coolify Iva will be around for a while. The battery is also very solid. The unit charged quickly and battery life is substantial. I am still cooling myself from the first initial charge of the fan. The controls are very straight forward, making the fan easy to operate. Finally, the cooling technology contained in this fan is impressive. No matter how hot the Arizona sun is blazing, the cooling pad on the fan cools down in seconds when the cooling button is pushed. It compliments the fan nicely and in combination with the fan, makes the Coolify Iva fan a complete cooling package. I only have 2 suggestions regarding the fan. First, the fan is a little noisier than other fans that I have used. Where I am using this fan, noise does not really matter, but if someone wanted to use the fan in the office, or in a movie theater (or any other place that requires a quieter atmosphere), the fan may cause unwanted attention. Given the fan’s positive attributes, this is a non issue for me. Second, I am not able to find any type of case or protective and convenient way to travel with the fan. If this were something that existed (like for your other products), I would buy it instantly.

I am enjoying the fan due to its compact size and its weight. While I wish the fan blew more air at higher settings, I understand it’s a tiny fan plus upping the RPM would be at the cost of motor noise and likely battery life. It does blow a good concentrated amount of air which is why I need it. As with any fan with this small a fan head, it can be noisy at the higher settings. In extreme outdoor heat, the cooling pad does nothing. That is the only reason this isn’t 5 stars. Indoors, I do feel a slight cooling when I turn it on and hold it to my face. The carabiner at the bottom that also functions as the stand is great. I have a variety of other Torras products and they are a quality company.

I have one of the neck fans from Torras with the cooling plates and was a big fan of the technology. This personal cooling fan has the same type of solid state peltier cooler integrated and it can serve a unique feature. I have played around with peltier coolers for years and enjoy finding them integrated into useful products. The cooling plate can get very cold in a few seconds as I checked with a thermal camera, 30-40f below ambient which is impressive for its small size. The heat gets rejected to a heatsink hidden in the fans air path. It shows that a lot of though went into the design of the cooling plate and it was not just an gimmick or afterthought. It should be good for quickly cooling hotspot or burns on your skin. It feels good on a hot forehead. I have not had a change to test it yet in the summer heat, but I can tell even at lower speeds it should cool nicely. I mostly use it below 30% fan speed and the airflow for the amount of noise is great. Even the lowest fan speed moves a ton of air. The battery seems to last a good amount of time and can even run just the fan when plugged in. the color is also very nice. It blends in well and isn't overly flashy. The size also makes it easy to fit in a bag or store in my car's center console to keep it with me when I need it. My only suggestions for improvement would be with the charging time and ability to use the cooling plate while charging. This is due to battery protection but would be great if they figure out how to make it work safely.

Yes. It cools. Yes. It is a powerful little fan. Yes. It can handy to clip it on to a purse or backpack or beltloop. Yes. It is rechargeable without batteries. And yes, the "middle part" cools down REALLY fast - see below for clarification! The fan could not be used at a play that I recently attended because even at the lower setting it disturbed the person next to me. At a concert or something louder or not so formal, it's a yes. At church, no... unless you have no one around you. No. It does NOT make the air that it's blowing to you as cool as the little plate in the middle is. No. You will not feel "cooler" air as you use it. It blows the same air to you that it sucked into the blades. If you would like to use the cooler middle area, press it up agsinst your skin for instant coolness (about the size of a postage stamp). Do I like the fan? Yes. Is it instantly cooler air being blown once I click the cooling button. No. I purchased this because I thought it would cool down the air being blown my way considerably. I tested it in 90 degree weather and it made no difference in the temp being blown my way... or should I say that I could not tell you there was a difference. I still have a few weeks to decide to keep or return. I am not sure based on the 40.00 plus pricetsg.. if I should keep it.
