3Life Collection

3Life is a brand of Shenzhen Yule Technology Co., Ltd, also known as YuLe3life, a design-led electronics company that also runs the Y2, Onesu and zero+ brands. It works to a stated philosophy of simple, natural and fun, which is why the products are styled as much as they are specified.

Yes, that is one of the main reasons to own one. A rechargeable fan runs entirely off its battery, so it keeps working when mains power drops. Keep it charged and it is ready. Models like the S164 carry 10000mAh, which also lets them charge a phone during an outage.

Advertised runtime is almost always the lowest speed setting. A fan rated 10 hours may give two or three on maximum. Look at the mAh figure rather than the headline hours, and assume you will use a middle setting most of the time.

Neck fans keep both hands free, which suits cooking, working or carrying a child, but move less air. Handheld fans push more air where you point them but occupy a hand. If you are walking or commuting, a waist-clip or neck model is usually the more practical choice.

Choose a bladeless model for children, since exposed blades and small fingers are a poor combination. Check the individual product description for the design, and supervise use with younger children regardless.

Not for cooling a room. A personal fan cools the person, not the space, by moving air across your skin. That is genuinely effective and costs almost nothing to run, but a room still needs a standing fan or aircon.

The wider 3Life range includes humidifiers, car fragrance diffusers, night lights, portable blenders and mosquito swatters. What we stock here is mainly the portable cooling line, plus a night light and a turbo duster.
