Wow! We're in year 16 of The Giz Wiz Show! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) If it wasn't for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

Meet Two Of My Newest Fans...

Minluck inside the bigger Figrol Neckfan.This was written during a really bad heat wave in NYC. Day after day of 90+ degree weather and high humidity. Air conditioning in my apartment and Gizneyland studio kept me comfortable there, but I need something for the outdoors. A quick check of Amazon and I found "neck fans"! Giz Wiz Show covered some mini fans you wore around your neck a couple of years ago, but these look way more sleek. They're called 'bladeless fans' because you don't see any moving part; everything is the built into the case. I bought two of them. The specs looked pretty similar, but the design of each was fairly different. Here's what they have in common and you can watch the video to see what they look like when worn. And I'll also offer my opinion of each. They both claim a 2400 mAh rechargeable battery. The Figrol uses USB-C, and the Minluk, micro USB. They both list the weight as 260g, which is about 9.2oz. On my postage scale, the larger Figrol weighed 9.5 oz and the Minluk weighed 9.1 oz. They both have 3 speeds and I think they both do a fairly decent job of keeping you cool. I like the look of the Figrol a bit more, but it's bigger and weighs a bit more. You can judge for yourself when you see both in the video. They retail for about $24 to $26 each.
