Shark\u2019s new <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">ChillPill personal fan<\/span> immediately reminded me of those fans, but in a more modern form.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-speakableText-p2\">The ChillPill is three-in-one in both what it does and how it can be used.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a wellness editor who tests the latest health tech for CNET, and as someone who runs hot, I was excited to try the ChillPill as summer approaches. Especially since I also have Dyson\u2019s new <span><span>HushJet Mini Cool<\/span><\/span>, its first-ever portable fan, and two popular JisuLife fans, the <span><span>Ultra2<\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">Pro1 Mini<\/span>, to compare it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ChillPill combines a bladeless 10-speed fan with airflow up to 17 miles per hour, a dry-touch evaporative mister that won\u2019t leave you soaked and a cryotherapy-inspired cooling plate that drops skin temperature up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit. The latter measurement was calculated from controlled testing at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, with the plate applied to the neck at its highest setting.<\/p>\n<p>Lightweight at 0.77 pounds, the ChillPill can be worn on your person as a wristlet or crossbody, clipped to a jacket or purse strap, twisted to rest on a tabletop, or clamped onto a stroller or workout machine.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-cmsImage c-shortcodeImage_image\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/ba4519de6dd19792f39d9fd7a0bdf7d26ed74091\/hub\/2026\/05\/04\/21b5e5b8-7064-434b-b36e-6a128f58bfcb\/chillpill-3-attachments.jpg?auto=webp&amp;width=768\" alt=\"The pink Shark ChillPill fan on a wood tabletop with the mister and cooling plate attachments.\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-text-xxsmall\"><\/p>\n<p>Turn the ChillPill into a mister or cooling plate by swapping out the 10-speed fan attachment. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-inner-spacing-right-small g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall g-color-text-meta g-text-xxxsmall\">Anna Gragert\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\" data-id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\">My experience testing the Shark ChillPill<\/h2>\n<p>I started using the ChillPill when temperatures climbed over 90 degrees Fahrenheit here in Los Angeles, and I can confirm that it made a difference.

While this isn&#8217;t its intended use, I also enjoy putting it on level 1 under my eyes to reduce puffiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cooling plate was easy to clean with an alcohol wipe, keeping things hygienic.

It\u2019s also less than half the speed of the 38-mph JisuLife Ultra2 and Pro1 Mini.<\/p>\n<p>When I used the Decibel X app to measure loudness in the quietest area of my apartment, the ChillPill\u2019s speed 10 reached a maximum of 74.6 dBA (A-weighted decibels). As for the HushJet Mini Cool, its boost mode reached 77.5 dBA.<\/p>\n<p>As a reference point, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association reports that a group conversation, a vacuum cleaner and an alarm clock are around 70 dBA. Noise at 85dBA can lead to hearing loss if you listen to it for more than 8 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While its lower speeds aren\u2019t as noticeable, I would say that the ChillPill\u2019s speed 10 is a bit too loud for quiet, shared indoor spaces, but could easily be used outdoors.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\">The ChillPill\u2019s rainbow of colors<\/h3>\n<p>The ChillPill is available in eight colors: heat (red), rose gold, haze (purple), carbon (black), dragon fruit (pink), matcha (green), iced latte (brown) and glacier (teal).

It\u2019s fully charged in 3 hours, which is 30 minutes less than the 15-watt ChillPill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 4.25-watt JisuLife Pro1 Mini, on the other hand, can be fully charged in at least 2 hours and lasts up to 30 hours on speed 1, while the 18-watt Ultra2 charges in 2.5 hours and runs up to 25 hours on speed 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If battery life is what you\u2019re after, then the 30-hour JisuLife Pro1 Mini would be your best option.

Carrying both the device and attachments can be a lot, and I find that the HushJet Mini Cool\u2019s slim profile makes it easier to throw in a bag when on the go.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-cmsImage c-shortcodeImage_image\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/f23f51023212ad83b6a39b690ab6a046222fac26\/hub\/2026\/05\/04\/b8ca7e60-0412-4070-acdf-e08d5bbd2e37\/chillpill-attachments.jpg?auto=webp&amp;width=768\" alt=\"Three pink Shark ChillPill attachments (fan, cooling plate and mister) on a wood surface.\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-text-xxsmall\"><\/p>\n<p>The three ChillPill attachments: fan, cooling plate and mister.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-inner-spacing-right-small g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall g-color-text-meta g-text-xxxsmall\">Anna Gragert\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\">ChillPill accessories are pricey and sold separately<\/h3>\n<p>I wish the ChillPill came with at least one of its accessories, like the crossbody strap or clip attachment.

The latter measurement was calculated from controlled testing at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, with the plate applied to the neck at its highest setting.<\/p>\n<p>Lightweight at 0.77 pounds, the ChillPill can be worn on your person as a wristlet or crossbody, clipped to a jacket or purse strap, twisted to rest on a tabletop, or clamped onto a stroller or workout machine.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-cmsImage c-shortcodeImage_image\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/ba4519de6dd19792f39d9fd7a0bdf7d26ed74091\/hub\/2026\/05\/04\/21b5e5b8-7064-434b-b36e-6a128f58bfcb\/chillpill-3-attachments.jpg?auto=webp&amp;width=768\" alt=\"The pink Shark ChillPill fan on a wood tabletop with the mister and cooling plate attachments.\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-text-xxsmall\"><\/p>\n<p>Turn the ChillPill into a mister or cooling plate by swapping out the 10-speed fan attachment. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-inner-spacing-right-small g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall g-color-text-meta g-text-xxxsmall\">Anna Gragert\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\" data-id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\">My experience testing the Shark ChillPill<\/h2>\n<p>I started using the ChillPill when temperatures climbed over 90 degrees Fahrenheit here in Los Angeles, and I can confirm that it made a difference.

It\u2019s also less than half the speed of the 38-mph JisuLife Ultra2 and Pro1 Mini.<\/p>\n<p>When I used the Decibel X app to measure loudness in the quietest area of my apartment, the ChillPill\u2019s speed 10 reached a maximum of 74.6 dBA (A-weighted decibels). As for the HushJet Mini Cool, its boost mode reached 77.5 dBA.<\/p>\n<p>As a reference point, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association reports that a group conversation, a vacuum cleaner and an alarm clock are around 70 dBA. Noise at 85dBA can lead to hearing loss if you listen to it for more than 8 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While its lower speeds aren\u2019t as noticeable, I would say that the ChillPill\u2019s speed 10 is a bit too loud for quiet, shared indoor spaces, but could easily be used outdoors.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\">The ChillPill\u2019s rainbow of colors<\/h3>\n<p>The ChillPill is available in eight colors: heat (red), rose gold, haze (purple), carbon (black), dragon fruit (pink), matcha (green), iced latte (brown) and glacier (teal).

Shark\u2019s new <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">ChillPill personal fan<\/span> immediately reminded me of those fans, but in a more modern form.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-speakableText-p2\">The ChillPill is three-in-one in both what it does and how it can be used.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a wellness editor who tests the latest health tech for CNET, and as someone who runs hot, I was excited to try the ChillPill as summer approaches. Especially since I also have Dyson\u2019s new <span><span>HushJet Mini Cool<\/span><\/span>, its first-ever portable fan, and two popular JisuLife fans, the <span><span>Ultra2<\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">Pro1 Mini<\/span>, to compare it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ChillPill combines a bladeless 10-speed fan with airflow up to 17 miles per hour, a dry-touch evaporative mister that won\u2019t leave you soaked and a cryotherapy-inspired cooling plate that drops skin temperature up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit. The latter measurement was calculated from controlled testing at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, with the plate applied to the neck at its highest setting.<\/p>\n<p>Lightweight at 0.77 pounds, the ChillPill can be worn on your person as a wristlet or crossbody, clipped to a jacket or purse strap, twisted to rest on a tabletop, or clamped onto a stroller or workout machine.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-cmsImage c-shortcodeImage_image\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/ba4519de6dd19792f39d9fd7a0bdf7d26ed74091\/hub\/2026\/05\/04\/21b5e5b8-7064-434b-b36e-6a128f58bfcb\/chillpill-3-attachments.jpg?auto=webp&amp;width=768\" alt=\"The pink Shark ChillPill fan on a wood tabletop with the mister and cooling plate attachments.\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-text-xxsmall\"><\/p>\n<p>Turn the ChillPill into a mister or cooling plate by swapping out the 10-speed fan attachment. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-inner-spacing-right-small g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall g-color-text-meta g-text-xxxsmall\">Anna Gragert\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\" data-id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\">My experience testing the Shark ChillPill<\/h2>\n<p>I started using the ChillPill when temperatures climbed over 90 degrees Fahrenheit here in Los Angeles, and I can confirm that it made a difference.

I could actually feel a difference between the two.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love placing it on the back of my neck for instant cooling. While this isn&#8217;t its intended use, I also enjoy putting it on level 1 under my eyes to reduce puffiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cooling plate was easy to clean with an alcohol wipe, keeping things hygienic.

It\u2019s also less than half the speed of the 38-mph JisuLife Ultra2 and Pro1 Mini.<\/p>\n<p>When I used the Decibel X app to measure loudness in the quietest area of my apartment, the ChillPill\u2019s speed 10 reached a maximum of 74.6 dBA (A-weighted decibels). As for the HushJet Mini Cool, its boost mode reached 77.5 dBA.<\/p>\n<p>As a reference point, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association reports that a group conversation, a vacuum cleaner and an alarm clock are around 70 dBA. Noise at 85dBA can lead to hearing loss if you listen to it for more than 8 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While its lower speeds aren\u2019t as noticeable, I would say that the ChillPill\u2019s speed 10 is a bit too loud for quiet, shared indoor spaces, but could easily be used outdoors.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"35bfcef9-7377-447c-8ba2-587f882c543a\" data-ng-block=\"{\">The ChillPill\u2019s rainbow of colors<\/h3>\n<p>The ChillPill is available in eight colors: heat (red), rose gold, haze (purple), carbon (black), dragon fruit (pink), matcha (green), iced latte (brown) and glacier (teal).

Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the sun, was especially nice while having the ChillPill fan cool me down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large

pod and cooling plate), the Shark ChillPill is the perfect choice.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>While it&#8217;s expensive at $150, the ChillPill is the only personal fan on the market (that I\u2019m aware of) that also triples as a cooling plate and mister. However, I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s worth it when you include the price of accessories that range from $10 to $40.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re simply looking for a personal fan, I\u2019d consider the $100 <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">Dyson HushJet Mini Cool<\/span>, the even more affordable JisuLife <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">Ultra2<\/span> ($76, which also doubles as a flashlight and power bank) or the <span class=\"c-shortcodeCommerceLink\">Pro1 Mini<\/span> ($63, which comes with a magnetic aroma pod).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;http:\/\/cnet.com\/health\/personal-care\/shark-chillpill-fan-review\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/4f3410f7eb51825ac386161a91867d50dc26fa6d\/hub\/2026\/05\/04\/95f4ebc2-06c2-4be0-9ac4-e2d7d4cc2ac7\/shark-chillpill.png?auto=webp&amp;fit=crop&amp;height=675&amp;width=1200&#8243;] Our Experts Written by\u00a0 Anna Gragert Our expert, award-winning staff selects the products we cover and rigorously researches and tests our top picks.
