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

Believe me I know and understand HVAC, I purchased this unit because the marking guy made it sound more powerful than it really is. I tried using ICE and very little water and vice versa, It cools a small space directly around it...Approx 5ft. but will not cool a SUV where you could leave your dog in it even for a short time. The unit is quality but has very limited cooling capacity.

To the manufacturer: The item is not idea for a quiet night sleep. The bright red & blue light is not either.

Smaller then expected a little noise good as a personal fan. Height is the size of an iPhone.

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

Rather flimsy. One of the pieces from the front fell off the moment I began to unpack it. The machine worked fine for a few weeks but suddenly quit one day so I returned it.

Ive seen some of the other reviews complaining this little evaporative cooler fan isnt blasting cold air...well jeez, for $40, youre not going to get central air conditioning. I set mine on my patio table (here in hot sunny Arizona), keep the dampened cooler pad grid in the freezer so it can chill, grab a cup of ice cubes and a bit of water, pour into to the top of the unit, install the frozen pad grid, and turn it on. It doesnt put out really cold air, just cooler air. It has an adjustable vent so you can aim it up or down. Its not all that quiet, especially in Turbo mode, but not an issue outside for me. I do understand some reviewers mentioning the lighting issue (because they are trying to use this to help them sleep). Even with all the LED light options turned OFF, the power and mode LEDs (amber), still stay lit, and shine through the plastic housing. Duct tape should resolve that. Overall, I didnt expect greatness from this little box, but it does beat a regular desktop fan (and my outdoor ceiling fan) that just blows hot air around. It doesnt take up a lot of space, and the small Micro-USB cable doesnt get in the way, or become difficult to manage. Arctic...no, cool breeze....sure. Long lasting...only until the ice cubes melt and the pads dry out, but by then, Im ready to head back indoors for more ice, and a cocktail refill. Cheers!

This is certainly not quiet. If youre sitting within about 2 to 5 feet of it, it works well. Thats why I give it two stars. It might work well for a small cubicle or office (aside from the noise). We placed it in our living room near the couch and I dont feel any air and have to turn the TV up really loud to hear anything. I wouldnt buy again.

Cools well as advertised

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

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!
