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

The package is damaged but it got here when it was supposed to

This small, condensed air conditioner works very well. However; I do have a few issues. The water reservoir is not large enough to hold the amount of water needed to cool a bedroom during the night. Upon waking, the unit is still running, but with no water. It would be great if it had an automatic shut off so that when the water runs out, the unit would shut off. It also leaks! Not just a little bit, but a LOT! My husband placed a plate underneath it to catch the water because it almost ruined his dresser. We purchased 2 units & they both have the same issues. They work alright, but perhaps the design could use a few tweaks.

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!

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.

Not as cold as I wanted it to be

Im using this for a 150 sq ft loft area that gets hot in the afternoon after the warm air rises. I just needed something to keep me a little more cool and maybe keep the temp a few degrees cooler at times. I use ice water to fill in the top and it will blow out cooler air for about 45 min. before the ice melts and water gets to room temp. Its no air conditioner but it works just well enough for my purposes. If you want to really air condition a warm space you can spend $400 on a small unit. But for the money this works well enough.

I wish this got colder but it does work.

I recently purchased this mini air conditioner, and I must say, its a game-changer for beating the heat. Its compact size makes it perfect for small spaces like offices or bedrooms. The cooling power is impressive, providing a refreshing breeze to combat hot summer days. The adjustable settings allow me to customize the airflow to my preference. Its easy to use, and the noise level is minimal, ensuring a peaceful environment. The only reason I deducted a star is because the cooling effect is more suitable for personal use rather than cooling an entire room. Overall, its a reliable and convenient mini air conditioner that delivers relief from the heat.

This works great for my situation. My husband is elder with health issues. He is very cold natured. Needs house to be warm. I am just the opposite, hot natured. If you follow the instructions it will last a good 8 hours. It allows me to stay cool and still keep my husband comfortable

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
