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

I dont usually mind white noise from fans/air purifiers, but theres a shrill quality to the noise this device makes that I find particularly unpleasant. That said, it does a FANTASTIC job keeping me cool when Im working in my home office, so Ill continue using it despite the noise. I like the adjustable light. I suggest placing a towel underneath it when in use, because it produces a lot of condensation, particularly at higher settings

These personal A/C are fragile and easily burnt out. If you barely spill a little water on them they short out. Major product flaw for something you put water in. It has happened to me twice.

Havent used them yet. But I have done some research they should work for my application.

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

Photo is exactly what it looks like but it didn’t cool off my small space. I watered down the filter and froze it and it still didn’t help. Had to go back to me window ac unit

Never had a problem yet with the mechanics of the cooler and really does cool the area pretty good. It does condensate or leak a little bit but that could be because you are suppose to freeze the cartridge before use and when you put it in a unconditioned space, like I did (garage), it will inevitably leak. Other then that it works great!

This was fairly easy to use but it did not live up to the hype. It stated that it would cool a room for hours...not! It advertised water as the cooling component, but you have to add ice. I get better cooling from a fan.

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

I bought this to aid in cooling down an extremely small bedroom - cannot fit more than a queen sized bed and two nightstands in it, only to shimmy yourself around to get to the bathroom - because the summer heat in Arizona is cray cray. Loved that it would be delivered same day (Metropolitan area for the win!). Had this little baby in 2 hours or less - and immediately opened it to set it up in said bedroom. Instructions suggest cartridge to be frozen. Well, that was a bummer; looks like I had to wait (story of my life). I soaked the cartridge, according to directions, and placed into freezer. Everything was ready for prompt usage in the am. Next morning, I woke up, did my shimmy shimmy around the bottom of the bed, and in a blink of an eye, fed the cats and made my coffee. I took the cartridge out of the freezer and inserted it into my new Artic Air Godsend. Turned it on, and waited for the cool blast that would signal the end of hell itself....and waited....and waited......nothing. Sure, it was cool, sure there was a faint trickle of air escaping the vents, but nothing like advertised; I think I breathe harder walking to the front door. I thought, maybe its just in the wrong place...after all, isnt it all about location location location? I placed the Artic Air so the air flow would be directed across the bed. And waited again (I think you can see a pattern emerging here). Still nothing. Then I remembered...Good Things Come To Those Who Wait.....I left the room, watched an episode of Enterprise (worse theme song ever! I WILL fight you on that) and returned with renewed hope. Nothing changed. I could see condensation forming on the vents so knew it had some temperature change but it definitely did not change the temperature in the room. I even thought it may have just needed a little help, after all, we get by with a little help from our friends, right? I placed a fan next to it, to give it a little more umphh, and STILL NOTHING!!!!! My heart sank, for the devil himself would be hard pressed to remain in this room during the day. In conclusion, this is not a buy I would recommend - save yourself the grief and buy a window AC unit. I know I am.

Cools well as advertised
