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

Our glass surround office building is waiting on a part for the air conditioning system. The office gets miserably hot. We have all been buying fans. I found this and thought Id try it. This keeps my area nice and cool and is sooooo much better than a fan that is just pushing around warm air. It basically cools the air using ice, so if you cant easily add ice, you may not be as proud of it. Luckily we have an ice machine so I add ice twice a day.

So 2.0 version is quieter, but this is only due to the fact that the fan on high is no longer as strong. High is now equivalent to LOW on the version prior. Also, there STILL is no option to turn the lights OFF! There is a night light that still shines in my eyes at night on my nightstand, keeping me awake. The other lights are even brighter than the previous version. We dont need to pay an extra $20 for a fan that barely blows and fancy lights that blind ya. Also, the air filter felt is less than half the other versions. I have allergies, and when though this is just a fancy fan, I NEED the air filter. Stick to the ORIGINAL version and price!

Upon first use, I found the unit easy to use without reading the directions. I would suggest distilled water to keep down contaminants. It does what it says I am well pleased with the unit overall. The only thing in the description that I was a little mislead to think it had a built in battery pack so you could use it just about anywhere. Cant give 5 stars for that reason. If you want to take this camping and use inside your tent or over your hammock I would suggest an external portable power pack for the unit then you would be golden. Overall I am impressed know the design is based on a swamp cooler which works better in higher humid areas than areas with low humidity. Southern states and states like AZ will find this unit great to use, Northern states may not get the same results. But was well worth the investment! Even small enough to pack away in a backpack if I want!

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

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

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

I am extremely disappointed with this product. This is the first 2.0 that I have purchased and it being a 2.0 you would think that it would be better than the original but it isnt. I purchased this product last week and hooked it up as soon as I received it. To my surprise midway through the night my floor was wet from it leaking and my room was hot. The original version of this product worked great but unfortunately I cant say the same for this one.
