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’ve bought third-party knockoff versions of arctic air evaporator coolers that operated 10 times better than this damn thing, it offers cooling air yes but it leaks water all over the place. It’s truly a badly designed unit that I cannot recommend.

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.

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.

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

My room will typically get 87° and it kept my room at a cool 82° last night and it was my first time using it. Its a perfect quick fix for now Ps makes the same amount of noise as a regular house fan

Works far better than the random one I bought from Walmart in 2018. It helps me sleep at my girlfriends house who does not have ac in her bedroom. It absolutely will cool you off but it’s only for one person. Only drawback is the tray that holds the filter can be extremely frustrating to remove and put back in. Yes it leaks water, they all do, it pushes water out the front so it’s obviously going to get wet at least this one has a filter and tray to catch the water. Don’t put any exposed wires near it and you’ll be fine it’s an amazing product for small space/personal cooling. Sitting 2-4 feet away directly in front of it for 10-20 minutes with the device set on high will actually make you shiver.

I would rate it higher, but the power cord it came with doesnt really work with it. I thought it broke, but it was actually the power cord that stopped working. I ordered a different one and tried using the same cord and it didnt work either. Thats when I realized the power cord had crapped out, not the unit itself. So now I have to return the other one I bought and get a better power cord for it. I like it because it does what its meant to do though. I have it on the table next to my bed for when I sleep. I need it pretty cold to sleep comfortably, because I over heat easily when I sleep. My dog usually gets out of bed because she gets too hot too, but now with this she stays in bed with me most of the night so I feel like my dog likes it too. I like the night light option, it looks cool and its not too bright to sleep with, but its bright enough to see by when you wake up in the night. I also feel like it acts as a humidifier because I notice that the humidity in my reptile enclosures dont drop as much at night any more and I know thats probably good for all my plants too. If youre expecting it to significantly cool a room it wont do that, but it drops the room temp by a couple degrees after its been on a while, but when youve got it pointed directly at you it will definitely cool you off.
