New Personal Cooling Device Combines Fan Technology with Ice Pack-Style Metal Plate
SharkNinja has unveiled an innovative portable cooling solution that goes beyond traditional handheld fans. The new device offers a multi-faceted approach to personal temperature control through three distinct cooling methods designed to provide immediate relief from heat.
Unlike conventional wearable cooling gadgets that solely depend on airflow to help moisture evaporation, this latest innovation incorporates a specialized metal cooling attachment. Users can apply this metallic component directly to their skin for instant temperature reduction, similar to the effect of a cold compress.
The device features an adjustable design that allows it to function as a standalone desktop fan when positioned upright. This versatility makes it suitable for both mobile use and stationary cooling applications.
Pricing and Availability
The cooling device is currently available for purchase at $149.99 through Amazon’s platform. Beginning March 11th, customers will also be able to purchase the product directly from Shark’s official website and various retail partners. The company offers seven color variations, including carbon, dragonfruit, glacier, haze, iced latte, matcha, and rose gold options.
Technical Specifications
As a standalone fan unit, the device provides 10 different speed settings, with maximum airflow reaching 25 feet per second. Battery performance varies significantly based on usage intensity. At the lowest fan setting, users can expect approximately 11 hours of operation, while maximum power usage reduces runtime to just 90 minutes.
Additional Cooling Features
The package includes two supplementary accessories that enhance the cooling experience. A misting attachment adds a fine water spray to the airflow, creating additional cooling through evaporation. However, the internal water tank has limited capacity, providing continuous misting for only about 10 minutes before requiring a refill. An interval misting mode extends this duration by spacing out the water release.
The standout feature is the metal cooling plate, which the manufacturer describes as “cryo-inspired.” When pressed against skin, this attachment can reportedly reduce surface temperature by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit within seconds. Unlike traditional ice packs that eventually warm up, this cooling plate maintains its effectiveness throughout the device’s battery life, providing sustained cooling relief.
