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

It was delivered on time and at the right apartment

Does not work well in a large space. Small areas is much better.

Yes it does work. For an individual, that is! Its not gonna cool a room but IT WILL cool you off. The only glitch Im finding is you HAVE TO have it lit up!! I use at night and do not care for any lighting!!! There needs to be an OFF for lights. Im adding this a while later but 2 Cups of water will NOT last for 6-8 hrs. No way, so, they need to clarify that. But. Like I said, it will cool YOU off. Now Im noticing after 2 mos of almost nightly use, it is losing its capacity to run on high. Im a person who cannot sleep HOT and this machine helps but Ill have to find something else if this continues diminishing fan speed.

This is essentially a modern version of a swamp cooler, thats not a bad thing though. its very easy to use and simple to set up. Wet down the cartridge and put it in the freezer and it will work better to start. My only complaints are that this thing is loud and if you have it on high it runs out of water in about 6 or 7 hours So if youre using it in your bedroom while you sleep be aware.

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 got it before it dropped to 3 stars but at most you will point this at yourself while you sleep and get cool air. Dont expect cold air or it to cool your bedroom even if its closet size. I add ice cubes all the time and blast it on turbo mode to feel anything. would i recommend you pick this up? Nah, save and get a window unit. or buy a 5-10 gallon bag of ice put it in a bucket and place a box fan on top.

So I got this product because my car AC went out in the middle of the summer. I can’t get an appointment at the dealership to fix it for 4 weeks out. I would like to say that this AC is not THAT bad it gave me a cool breeze while driving. Of course I had to buy a charger with a USB port because the one they provided plugs directly in the wall. I would also like to mention that if you plan to use this you must freeze the A/C filter Component daily and after about 2-3 hours of use the AC that blows isn’t really that cold. So my advice if you HAVE to get this product just know that’s it’s a temporary solution and will require some preparation to ensure your getting cool. However this product can not cool a room (even a small closet) really it can only cool a person lol literally one person with the vent blowing directly on that ONE person but it’s better then being hot with no relief.

The package is damaged but it got here when it was supposed to

You have to be right next to it to get any benefit of cool air.

Cute, Compact design, uses a large computer fan to blow air. So if you don’t mind sitting next to your desktop computer while you sleep… otherwise after reading the other reviews the water tank is small.
