Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 Evaporative Air Cooler by Ontel - Powerful, Quiet, Lightweight and Portable Space Cooler with Hydro-Chill Technology For Bedroom, Office, Living Room & More

Works like a charm! The unit isnt big enough to act like an AC but its good enough and much cooler than a fan

Since we got these units we have saved 100s of dollars on electricity. They are utterly amazing and last for 10 hrs

If youre deciding to buy or not like I was, here are few points. This is not an A/C. Dont expect it to cool of room or make ski slope snow. It is personal desk fan. Once you accept that, you can decide if you want it. I like it and Im not disappointed. First let say that evaporative cooling is a myth. It does exist in theory, but in real life is totally inefficient. What you get is a mini humidifier and desk fan with the added benefit of vapor mist. The vapor mist is the part to experiment with. Freezing the filter did not show any help. Keeping it wet is just fine. The reason is that in hot room ice melts right before your eyes. That also applies to water in the reservoir. Standing water warms up rather quick in a hot room and defeats the cooling idea. So the solution that seem to help is filling the reservoir with just enough water to keep it from running dry. Maybe quarter of the tank or less, and keep adding ice instead of water. Seating in front of fan in hot weather feels good, and keeping the water cold makes cooler breeze. You can also put little bottle cap with scent inside the unit and have room freshener. My favorite is peppermint oil. I run it at low since the fan is noisy on high setting and I want just a breeze, not a tornado. When it becomes really hot I turn on A/C, but for spring weather that fluctuates from hot to cold this thing is just fine.

I would rate it higher, but the power cord it came with doesnt really work with it. I thought it broke, but it was actually the power cord that stopped working. I ordered a different one and tried using the same cord and it didnt work either. Thats when I realized the power cord had crapped out, not the unit itself. So now I have to return the other one I bought and get a better power cord for it. I like it because it does what its meant to do though. I have it on the table next to my bed for when I sleep. I need it pretty cold to sleep comfortably, because I over heat easily when I sleep. My dog usually gets out of bed because she gets too hot too, but now with this she stays in bed with me most of the night so I feel like my dog likes it too. I like the night light option, it looks cool and its not too bright to sleep with, but its bright enough to see by when you wake up in the night. I also feel like it acts as a humidifier because I notice that the humidity in my reptile enclosures dont drop as much at night any more and I know thats probably good for all my plants too. If youre expecting it to significantly cool a room it wont do that, but it drops the room temp by a couple degrees after its been on a while, but when youve got it pointed directly at you it will definitely cool you off.

The fan is small and made for personal use. It does the job for sure! I was surprised that it worked as stated.

I actually bought this as a Mothers Day gift for my Sister and she uses it at work and she works in the back of a Bakery she says it keeps her área so cool the other employee now want one

Everything came as pictured. Followed the directions BUT if the room is hot it doesnt really cool it down but for a few minutes. Not worth what we paid for it.

Its alright for an hour or so then you have to fill it with ice cubes and water again to keep you cool. I usually but it on the table if I have a barbecue on a hot day but it gets tiring to keep having to refill.

This will never produce ice cold Arctic air no matter what you do. If you buy thinking it will cool a small room well or make you cold you’ll be a bit disappointed. This works extremely well as a small fan with slightly colder air than just a regular floor fan. Fairly quiet and does have an option to turn off the light, and has very easy to figure out controls. Only major complaint is all the water. There is water EVERYWHERE after using this. It drips onto the table it’s on, looking inside the device there’s water dripping right next to the electronic parts of the device with nothing to separate the wires from the dripping water. I had to empty it out and take it apart to completely drain it of its water surrounding the wires and electrical parts. Definitely wouldn’t put it in a kids room due to all the water and electricity so close.

Our AC failed on a 100+ degree day. You can imagine trying to get service at this time.These were available for same day delivery. I expected something like a mini swamp cooler, but it is not! It has two little mist-makers that a small fan blows over. The cartridge is not a wetted filter ala swamp cooler -- it is a set of felt-like sponges that the wetted air blows by, not through. They will soak up some of the mist. The directions say you can pre-wet them and freeze them for added cooling. We did not try that. Heads up #1: It cools by evaporation --- if you are living in a humid place, it wont help you any more than a fan! Heads up #2 is the water. I suggest you use distilled/ purified water. Because it is a mister, it can fail due to minerals/ sediments plugging the tiny orifices. ( I suspect many of the quite working reviews are related to that.) Also, tap water minerals will give you a fine dust as the water evaporates. If you have a lung condition, you DO NOT want to add fine particles to your air. Heads up #3: Look carefully and make sure you have all the tape removed. I have one louver that will not adjust because I broke it due to tape. Heads up #4: Whatever you set it on will get wet-- so be careful of your particle board furniture/floors. Setting the louvers slightly up will help with the front drips. I note that one reviewer added a drip catcher to theirs as a fix. There will still be leakage from inside. The manufacturer failed to provide a pan feature at the bottom of the device. We are using those cheap plasticware covers (ala tupperware) to set them on. I suppose you could use a cookie sheet, foil, plasticwrap, etc for the same purpose. Another reviewer used this for the purpose https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PKH3E4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bottom Line -- I am happy with them (we bought 2). They kept us reasonably comfortable til our AC got a temporary band-aid. The outside fan motor was going out on thermal protection- which lead to the compressor stopping due to high pressure. We are waiting on a replacement motor that is Mojave rated. If the existing motor burns up before the new one arrives, we are OK with these little units!!
