Arctic AirChill Zone Evaporative Cooler with Hydro-Chill Technology, Portable Fan with 4 Adjustable Speeds, 8-Hour Cooling, Fan for Bedroom, Living Room, Basement, Office & More

I was hesitant to purchase due to mixed reviews, but have been very happy with the little cooler since I got it. It’s a very effective little swamp cooler type A.C.I live in the Southwest where it only gets down to the mid 90s at night right now, and I really dislike being hot.I use this little unit to cool myself down while cooking or getting ready etc. it’s much more cost effective than running the whole house A.C. Especially in this economy - and it’s very light & easy to move around & reposition.I followed suggestions and freeze the wet filter / insert, use very cold water and ice cubes and it works SO well in a small area.It is a swamp cooler type unit, so it does humidify the VERY dry air, so that’s a bonus for me. It doesn’t make much mess at all.The little blower fans on the front will periodically stop for a brief moment when water pools in them a bit, but it quickly drips back in to the unit & they blow again.It has 2 “cold” level settings, 3 regular fan settings : low, med and high, then a “turbo” setting. The 2nd cool setting and High fan setting work great for me. The water lasts about an hour and a half on those settings.It ran for about 5 hours on low for us.It does have lights you can change the colors, but I keep that turned off.Reviews said it runs for approximately “8 hours on low with a full charge”, but mine doesn’t run at all if it’s not plugged in; so I don’t understand that part.I believe it must mean runs for 8 hours off a full tank of water. Mine will not, even on the lowest settings, but I don’t need it to run that long.Overall, I am very pleased with the item and the value for the money.

I purchased this in hopes of using it to help keep my bedroom a bit cooler this summer. I tested it out for 2 days. I followed the directions to a T, even watched videos to make sure I was doing it right. I put a bit of ice in the water tank, filled to fill line, and also put the filter in the freezer. On the get go, this thing was so loud, annoyingly so. Also it kept spitting water out of the two, what looks to be, atomizers on the sides. And also, the claim of 8 hours of cooling was ridiculous. I was getting 2 max on high and barely 4 on lower. It was 75 in my house at the time. This thing is basically a glorified humidifier and if you live in a place with high humidity I do not recommend this at all. I'm in Arkansas with a humidity of 83%.It does help cool off the small area you are in, but it's not worth it's price or the water you'll have on whatever it's facing.

This is a nice portable fan where you can put ice water at the bottom and it will blow cooler air on you. Word of advice, when traveling with it in your car, have a water bottle full of water, and do not fill it prior to you driving. What a mess! It tipped over when I made my first turn. I use this fan when I have to take my son to cross country Practice on Saturdays. He runs 9 miles in 2 1/2 hours and I sit in my car and wait for him. My car is like an oven because I live in Miami. This makes it more bearable. I use a power bank as a power supply. definitely wished I would have bought this sooner, would have made my way a lot more comfortable. I am happy with it. The air flow is strong and you can control how strong it is. I bought a different fan that was bigger that was battery operated with the same concept, and it did not compare to the strength of this one. It will not cold or room, but when you're standing next to it, it will definitely keep you cool.

If you are not carefully the water will overflow. Also. It seems to leak water and had to put a towel underneath it. After I removed the soak towel, I found the water leak had damaged the dresser where it was stationed.It will only work for a few hours before you need to refill. Otherwise, I believe it is a good product.

It will pump cold air. If you add ice water and or ice water and freeze the filter. But, if you do all that, the tank gets sweaty and sometimes spits water from the vent. I worried the water would damage the dresser. It’s also pretty loud. So, for those reasons I’ll be returning. If you are in a small room and put a plate under the machine, and don’t mind the sound, i think it will successfully cool the room a few degrees.
