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

Im using this for a 150 sq ft loft area that gets hot in the afternoon after the warm air rises. I just needed something to keep me a little more cool and maybe keep the temp a few degrees cooler at times. I use ice water to fill in the top and it will blow out cooler air for about 45 min. before the ice melts and water gets to room temp. Its no air conditioner but it works just well enough for my purposes. If you want to really air condition a warm space you can spend $400 on a small unit. But for the money this works well enough.

Works for small spaces like next to a bed or on your desk and nothing more. A few things to note: 1. Will not work if the air is already humid. Might as well use a normal desk fan if you live anywhere with high humidity. 2. It leaks. A lot. Maybe put it on something that will retain the water from condensation so it wont get all over your furniture. 3. Use filtered water only. Tap water may damage the misters due to clogging from minerals. Using tap water also may cause it leave a nasty looking white film on the filter and even on anything in the direction of the airflow. 4. Its pretty loud while its being run at full power. Its whisper quiet claim can only apply to its lowest setting. 5. Cheap plastic EVERYWHERE. Do not drop, as it will likely not survive.

Could be great in a office cubicle type setting. In my house it was no better then a fan.

The product is fine and works but it holds water when done in the bottom filter tray. So you have to keep a towel under it

My room will typically get 87° and it kept my room at a cool 82° last night and it was my first time using it. Its a perfect quick fix for now Ps makes the same amount of noise as a regular house fan

Small,fair price effective control features

I thought it was going to be bigger

Comparing the negative reviews to the positive reviews to my own experience, its pretty clear that most of the people giving this thing a bad review didnt realize what they were actually buying. This will NOT air condition your entire house. Its basically just a small fan that blows colder air than a regular fan at you. Like regular fans, that means will not cool off your entire house or apartment, but it will keep the area in front of it cool. And its amazing! We put it on the ottoman in front of the couch while watching tv, and having a regular floor fan behind us with this thing in front was way cooling, much better than the fan by itself. Its not going to replace an actual air conditioner on a super hot day, but its got just enough cooling power to be really helpful if you cant use an a/c (maybe because you live in an apartment and technically arent allowed to have one, or you cant afford to buy one because yiiiiikes theyre expensive). But its really helpful for if a fan just isnt enough to cool you down. Also because of its small size, I find I prefer using it to fans when its a little cooler out. Sometimes fans are obnoxious, theyre loud, they blow things over, but this little thing doesnt have the blowing power to knock all your papers off your desk like a big floor fan does. I like to just have it on the ottoman blowing on my propped-up feet. Its supreme. I see some people complaining about how you cant turn the lights off, but you can. You need to keep hitting the light button, you have to cycle through all the light options but theres an off option at the end of them. The lights that indicate what settings are on dont turn off, but theyre really minor - like, they arent really bright. I especially like that this thing is small enough that it wont be hard to store somewhere in winter when it presumably wont be needed, unlike those big oscillating fans which are awkward to find a place for. Cons: On the highest settings its kind of noisy, but its a steady noise level so its easy to learn to tune out and turn the tv volume up over. Also the plug for it gets EXTREMELY hot after its been on. I dont think its necessarily a fire hazard, but I would give it a few minutes after you turn it off before you unplug it from the wall. All in all, if you know what to expect from this little guy, you will really enjoy it and appreciate it. Dont go into this thinking its a $35 air conditioner that will put your entire home into the arctic circle. It will give a nice cold blast to the area about 6 feet in front of it, which cools more efficiently than a fan but isnt as effective as an actual air conditioner. This guy is an air *cooler*. Side note: Youre encouraged to put ice cubes in the fill thing, and it can take an entire tray of ice cubes to fill it up!

I’ve bought third-party knockoff versions of arctic air evaporator coolers that operated 10 times better than this damn thing, it offers cooling air yes but it leaks water all over the place. It’s truly a badly designed unit that I cannot recommend.

I like this small device ,i let my sister use it it actully put out cool air
