Product Features
■ Counter-rotating structure with two blades
A structure where two front and rear blades rotate in opposite directions. The rear blade draws in air, and the front blade pushes it out, achieving efficient airflow and quietness.
Airflow can be adjusted to weak, medium, strong, and turbo.
■ Operating time: Approximately 6.5 hours
■ Equipped with Peltier cooling
Equipped with "Peltier cooling" that directly cools the skin, not just with wind. By applying it to the neck or wrist, you can feel a cool and pleasant sensation.
*Peltier cooling is not a function that emits cold air. It provides a cool sensation by touching the skin.
■ Intuitive operation
Airflow can be adjusted in 4 levels. The LED display clearly shows the current setting, such as Peltier cooling operation, at a glance.
■ Equipped with a carabiner
Attach a strap for neck-worn style.
It can also be attached directly to a backpack or bag for easy carrying.
Both hands are free, allowing comfortable use while on the move or working.
■ Strap adjustable to your preferred length
Comes with an original strap. The length can be easily adjusted by moving the logo part.
■ Adjustable to the desired airflow position
The fan part can be bent 90°. It delivers wind firmly to the face and neck. It has an exquisite range of motion that eliminates the feeling of "just a little out of reach."
By bending the neck 90°, it instantly becomes a desktop fan. It's a single unit that can be quickly used in cafes or at desks.
■ Turn into an oscillating fan with a single button
By operating the button on the charging stand, it supports 120° oscillation (total left and right). This prevents the discomfort of wind continuously hitting the same spot.
■ Fan that doesn't stop while charging
Designed to be charged by simply inserting the pogo pin connector. Just place it on the stand, and charging begins without the fan stopping.
Power supply to the charger supports USB-C port for versatility. Furthermore, the non-slip bottom ensures stable use even when inserting a tall fan.
■ No degradation even with constant desktop use
It adopts "complete pass-through charging," which automatically switches to a dedicated DC circuit for the portable fan when the main unit is fully charged. This reduces the burden on the battery and mitigates degradation even when used for long periods on the charging stand.
Other Features
■ Texture you'll want to hold
Sharp form and a texture that fits comfortably in the hand. Because it's a portable fan held for a long time, the surface is treated to be resistant to fingerprints and dirt, maintaining its beauty in daily use.
■ Detachable power, expanding uses
The handle part is a 3500mAh mobile battery. It can be easily detached by pressing the button above the LED light.
Equipped with a retractable USB-C connector, allowing smart charging without a cable.
Integrating the technology of each product into this one unit
CIO has shaped the technologies and ideas cultivated in its previous products into this portable fan.
The carabiner is convenient for neck-wearing or carrying on a backpack. But it doesn't always need to be prominent; rather, it should only be there when needed. The presence of a carabiner that isn't the main feature, yet looks good, comes from the concept of carabiner-equipped cable holders.
Wanting to charge it on a stand, but worried about terminal breakage with a USB-C port. To achieve a seamless charging experience even when placed casually, pogo pins cultivated from magnetic cables were used. To prevent battery degradation even when continuously used as a desktop fan, complete pass-through charging was implemented.
We want it to be used not just in summer, but all year round. The stand is rather a charging station for convenient daily use of a mobile battery.
