Background
As I live in a hot and humid place, I have always been trying to find means and ways to feel cool without needing air conditioning. In June 2024, I searched online and found a brand called Silent Cicada.
They have a new arrival called the Model S. As it was an interesting product, I got it through Indiegogo with the extra power unit package to test it out.
The Stuff
The Silent Cicada Model S is a personal air conditioner designed for convenience and comfort. Here are some key features:
- Compact Size: Measures 4.5cm x 4.5cm x 2.2cm and weighs 75g.
- Cooling Power: Provides up to 5 watts of cooling power.
- Battery Life: Lasts 1 to 1.5 hours on continuous cooling, with a charging time of 40 to 60 minutes.
- Design Improvements: Features a cable-free design, optimized power management, and an upgraded wristband with magnetic strips for a secure fit.
The device uses a thermoelectric cooling module. When an electric current passes through it, one side becomes cold while the other side heats up. The cold side faces your skin, providing cooling relief.
Here are some pictures that I have taken to show what the stuff looks like:

Usage and Experience
I have been wearing the Silent Cicada Model S at home for a month since this post. Each time I wear it, I feel the coolness around the area where the cooling plate touches my skin.
After wearing it for a while, I can feel some parts of my body feeling a tinge of cool, like my neck and chest.
In terms of battery life, it lasts around 1.5 hours. The charging time is about 40 mins, so an additional power unit is great for rotation.
