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

Works well for the first couple of times, lightweight and easy to from my bedroom to office, not effective enough particularly in hot weather and plastic made of looks not elegant enough.

First off - this isn’t an air conditioner, it’s a swamp cooler - that is spun air going over iced water. So it does throw off a cooler burst of air than a dry fan. It’s small but operates admirably. It’s powered by a USB cable that is only about 14” long. I had to buy a longer one. The bad: It’s cheap plastic and one of my vents was broken. It leaks and so you need to put a towel under it. It’s powered by a USB but it’s not chargeable. It has to be connected to power. So in-all it’s okay. I got one for a van and to be used with a fan to create a cooler breeze. It’s fine. It was cheap after-all. I’d return it but is was only $30 and would be a hassle to repack. I wanted to note the good and bad for future buyers.

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

It leaks a little bit but work very well.

I found a lot of mixed reviews here but I took the chance on an item that could be a gimmick. I have not tested in the summer yet but initial test show that it could possible keep my person cool in the very small office I have. I do not think this will do anything in an average bedroom unless blowing directly on you. I have another small fan in my office and when both on high, they make about the same noise. The air is cooler than a regular fan. Condensation does buildup on the front so I will likely have to place a small towel underneath but if it works as I expect in the summer time, that will be worth it. This is not an air conditioning unit but it is a nifty item that will come in handy on the hot days stuck in my office.

I live in Southern Louisiana and I have a very small , cramped bathroom that gets unbearably hot during the summer months. A pregular fan wasn’t helping at all and I wanted to try something different , but cost effective . This little a/c is perfect . I wet the filter then pop it in the freezer for about 15 mins and then add ice water into the basin and I’m able to shower and get ready for work comfortably ! It’s a simple , cost efficient way to cool down the small room . !

Its surprising how much cool air this cube can produce. Unfortunately you must be setting right in front of and very close to it in order to experience the air. I sat it next to my favorite chair and it works for me.

Cute, Compact design, uses a large computer fan to blow air. So if you don’t mind sitting next to your desktop computer while you sleep… otherwise after reading the other reviews the water tank is small.

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’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.
