it looks just like it looks in the pic, it takes 4 hours to charge, its kinda heavy, it has three fan speeds but the instructions say keep the charging port up and if u do that it does not work good at all like 1 star, but if you turn it uoside down it becomes 3 stars although i havnt used it outside yet. i wish i woulda bought one of the first ones i was looking at (that was water resistant with a long lasting battery) but i was in a rush and couldnt remember which one i liked best, and this one was an ""amazon choice"" so i figured it should be decent, but instructions said something about adjusting the fans by turning them but cant turn anything on this cooling neck fan sooo..... yea overall i give it 2 stars because im afraid if i sweat it will break and its only effective inside on level 3 of 3 or high. the solid one works but if its hot its not all that and when your walking it just doesnt feel like its really blowing on you, if its hot outside. but the twisty on feels like your can angle it to get air to where youll feel it, i havent taken it for a walk yet. the big differences between the somid one and the twisty one is the weight and the breakability feeling. the twisty one doesnt feel like you are going to break it but the solid one does like if you try to twist it or shove it in a purse or backpack. but the twisty one which is just plyable on the back neck area is pretty decent. i do wish the air came out of the holes in the back neck area but hey its not too bad especially if you git a good deal on it.

I used this cooling neck fan at a FL theme park non-stop for approx 6-7 hrs and the battery outlasted my time at the park. The fan kept me cool and not over heated while perusing through the park. I recommend!

Works just as I wanted, comfort while riding exercise cycle. Charges quickly and good battery life.
