Evapolar evaCHILL Personal Portable Air Cooler and Humidifier, Desktop Cooling Fan, for Home and Office, with USB Connectivity and Built-in LED Light, Urban Grey, small

I purchased the evaCHILL to combat the current high temps both day and night. The product arrived quickly after ordering, was easy to set up and works as expected. I did find it a bit too cold at times, but this was with the device placed not that far away from me. If you position it in the right place and use the right fan speed setting (depending on the current conditions), you can get a really nice, refreshing breeze on you. The blue lighting is a nice touch also, especially being able to turn that on and off independently from the fan itself. I would recommend this to somebody who needs cooling down in hot temperatures.

Completely pointless. The air coming from it is cooler than a fan, however you need to be about 5cm from it to feel anything.

I was lucky as paid just shy of £50 for this which imo is the very max of what it's worth. It does a decent job of keeping you cool as a desk fan and is nice and quiet barring the top 2 settings. It appears to be very well made and is an attractive, compact item to keep on your desk, especially with the nice ambient light. My only concern at the moment is replacement cartridges and their cost but for now I'm reasonably happy with the purchase and it is keeping me nice and cool. It's decent and does its job but it definitely is not worth over £100 though and I would not have bought it at that price.

Good small machine for cooling down your personal bubble. Living in an apartment with huge floor to ceiling windows, it easily reaches 30 degrees in here. My computer pumping out heat doesn’t help either. This machine is excellent at cooling down my desk area! My desk area is a much better temperature (it doesn’t get super cool but it hasn’t definitely cooled it down) it has satisfied my needs anyway. It’s not going to cool down a whole room, or more than a desk area. It’s just good for your own personal space. I got it on offer for £50 and find it well worth the money, not sure if it’s worth £100.

This isn't a bad little device and definitely helps when positioned very close. In my case it has been positioned a little less than a metre away from me on a desk set to the 2nd from lowest setting. At this level it is pretty quiet and does seem to help a small amount. Because of the water being slowly added into the room it also doesn't dry out your eyes as regular fans do. I found that adding very cold water (from the fridge) seemed to help slightly although the reality is that this isn't powerful enough to lower the temperature of a room in the really warm weather. It just makes the air very close to the cooler slightly more pleasant. If you want something just to help a little then this might be worth a shot, but if you really need "proper" cooling when it gets really hot, then look at air conditioning instead. Finally, I got this for well under £50 and when you see the inside of the device, that honestly seems at the high end of where it should be. I notice that today it is significantly more expensive. I can't honestly recommend this unit at the current price.

Absolutely love our new air cooler. I move it around the flat, literally taking it with me to every room. It is a great solution if you enjoy cool air and your partner does not like when it's cold in the room. We used to have a big air conditioner, but occasionally would catch a cold from it. This one gets the temperature just right to make it cooler but not freezing. I like its design cause it looks really modern and its blue lighting makes it even more charming. But my fav feature is that it's portable. Its definitely the best thing for an air cooler. Happy about the purchase and would recommend it to others.

amazing little product! works just like having your own little A/C unit on your desk. i used 1 bottle of 'Smart Water' from out of the fridge when i filled up the tank with water. it is virtually silent on setting #1 it does blow nice cold air onto you. it is far better than a fan that just blows warm/hot air onto you.

I purchased my 2nd Evapolar in February after the fan on the first wore out and started to rattle. I didn't mind the extra outlay because the Evapolar's evaporative cooling had helped keep me alert at my desk through two hot summers. Come July I pressed the new Evapolar into action, and all was well until one morning I switched it on and soon heard the sound of water dripping. I have multiple transformers and yards of mains cabling under my desk, for 2 PCs and their peripherals (I work in IT). The Evapolar had spontaneously begun emptying its entire reservoir over the side of the desk, despite never having been dropped or abused in any way. Water was running down a mains cable when I spotted the problem. Luckily I was in the room when the Evapolar started to leak, or an electrical fire might have been the result. I politely requested a repair or replacement from Evapolar, but only received an automatic acknowledgement. Despite chasing up several days later I've still not had a reply from a human. Needless to say, I'll be steering well clear of Evapolar in future, and would advise anyone reading this to do the same.
