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

....Unless you live in Arizona where the the heat is very dry. Unit sprays out water and mist, just what you dont want when its humid. The tank on my unit leaked and never really blew cold air even after I froze the cartridge overnight. Account says I have until June 27th to return it but the system is not allowing me to at this point.

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!

This small, condensed air conditioner works very well. However; I do have a few issues. The water reservoir is not large enough to hold the amount of water needed to cool a bedroom during the night. Upon waking, the unit is still running, but with no water. It would be great if it had an automatic shut off so that when the water runs out, the unit would shut off. It also leaks! Not just a little bit, but a LOT! My husband placed a plate underneath it to catch the water because it almost ruined his dresser. We purchased 2 units & they both have the same issues. They work alright, but perhaps the design could use a few tweaks.

I bought this for my office because it gets hot. Unfortunately it was so loud and didnt produce cold air. I put the filter in the freezer but it still didnt make a difference. Wish I could return.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Tldr: its just a fan that doesnt blow hot air on a hot night. cool air, not freezing on tap water. Put a bottle in the tank to make it last longer than 3 hours. I have a 1 sq feet room. On a usual night around summer time my room is hot and humid enough to build sweat on the body part laying on the bed. It takes about 1 hour of cold tap water to lower the room temp enough so I dont sweat on the bed but I still feel kind of sticky. The seller claims that the product can shoot a water mist for 10 hours but in 1 hour on high mist it has already used up 1/3 of the water tank. Even if I set it to low mist I highly doubt it would last 10 hours. Thats why I put a bottle in the tank to supply water by cutting a half inch hole on the side of the cap. Now thats 10 hours! Its also a bad idea to step out of the room since it immedeality resets the cooling process, 1 hour wasted. So if you gotta pee or you farted too much, turning your room into a room of death... suffer or stay cool. The choice is yours.... well. I mean you can always point the air at yourself for maximum effect which ultimately keeps you cool throughout the usage but I dont like having an air flow at me when Im sleeping, I always wake up with a headache. I give it 3 stars because it does work but its not mind blowing. perfect if youre a cheapskate and you dont mind being a little sticky.

Works well for the first couple of times, lightweight and easy to from my bedroom to office, not effective enough particularly in hot weather and plastic made of looks not elegant enough.
