It's not meant to cool down a room. It's not an air conditioner, so if you're expecting it to do what an air conditioner does, you're likely to be sorely disappointed. It's meant (and designed) to keep your PERSONAL SPACE cool. So if your in a hot stuffy office, you can put it on your desk and it will work nicely. For me, I put it on a table about 2-3 feet away from my bed at night, and it works GREAT! Remember people, as long as your expectations are realistic, you are far less likely to be disappointed.
My PERSONAL SPACE is much larger than the 12 cubic inches affected by this so-called device. Besides, it claims to cool a area ... you read it for yourself. It's SHEEYIT and it always will be.
No, it doesn't work nicely, at all, 4 inches away from me. And it does not chill, cool, feel arctic, at all, not even with ice in it. It's worse than using nothing at all, unless you want to add humidity to a dry, desert. That's why they get such terrible ratings. You're not telling the truth.
*Needed a cooler for a work cubicle **Fastly.Cool** . It did just what I needed, so easy to used and really cooled the space. I am glad that I got it and would buy it again.*
@@georgeplagianos6487 he's not joking I'm gonna buy tomorrow living in a dry mostly 30 to 55 percent humidity i don't think I'm gonna be disappointed definitely
Great review, thanks bud! I think it would have been more fair to put the thermostat in front of the vent but I would expect the immediate area to cool down as well so I'm glad you did what you did. Thanks again!
Lets see if we understand this ? Run up the water bill, run the freezer for 2 hrs. Give arctic cool $40 + then run up your electric bill. AND ones time. Would be over-all less costly to just open the freezer and let gravity do its thing. Or... get a bowl of ice-cubes w/a small fan . You saved us $40+ bucks on buying a mini swamp cooler.
Thanks for spreading the word about this products. It's too good to be true base on the commercial and/or advertise. LOL Save us lots of grief and money
Your honesty is brutal but I love it! Wish I had saw your review before I bought this piece of crap. I even went so far as to put pure ice in the top reservoir in addition to freezing the filter. Still didn't work. I used it outside on my patio in Dallas during the summer as I have central air in my home and it works fine. If you plan on using it to cool you down out side during the summer. I wouldn't recommend it.
My husband bought three online. The first one came in the mail damaged and never worked. Tried to reach the company with no success. Trying to cancel the order of the next two coming through. Don’t waste your money.

I think most people don’t read the instructions or understand what an evaporative cooler like this Arctic Air Ultra is for. Or rather, what it isn’t used for. It can’t replace air conditioning and it can’t cool down entire rooms. It’s a personal space cooling fan. I enjoyed this device while I owned it but I threw it away after the filter got mildew and transferred onto the fan unit due to freezing the filter every night. My tips are don’t freeze the filter but if you do, use a ziploc bag to do it and clean the filter thoroughly after each use. If you understand this product and have realistic expectations, you’ll get good use out of this product.
It doesn't cool when 4 inches from me. I grew up with an evap cooler and never had AC for 20 years of my life, just a cooler. This does not cool. It says, "Arctic," "cool," etc. and is not cool, whatsoever, like I said, 4 inches from me, in a dry heat.
My ceiling fan broke & my room is 20 degrees warmer than rest of house. After last nite, i was desperate & literally leaving to pick 1 up. I decided to look at review, now im not. Thanks for your review.
Works fine here too. The secret is to move it around a bit. Don't just leave it in the corner. I attach it to my belt and walk around the room. Try that and let us know. Other than that, great video.
My husband was going to buy this. Thanks for the review, you just saved us some money! I'm happy to hear you're not afraid of the boogeyman and don't need a nightlight!
This guy is the man I have read so many disgusting comments trying to type this product up to talking about how we just don’t understand the expectations of the device if you watch the advertise it for this device the expectation is that it will cool you off and make your room cooler it did not do that purpose in fact I did not do anything but the temperature going up from the heat of the device
It’s meant to blow directly on you. They do work but can’t cool a room at all. I took mine to the desert and it makes a big difference blowing directly on my but can’t last long in that heat. The water evaporates much faster out there.
It will not cool the whole room. Whatever cool air it outputs will dissipate too quickly to register on your thermometer. It's meant to blow directly on you. However, you have the right idea to freeze the water soaked filter. Best is to have two or three filters frozen and ready to go everyday. I think each frozen filter will last about 1.5 - 2.0 hours, depending on how hot the day is.
Exactly I use them with my Ac unit, for me it eliminated heavy usage of a very expensive Ac unit, plus lower my electric costs, when those central air conditioners break down, they can get very costly or might even have to replace which can run in the 1000
Lol love your review.. I got sucked in to I bought one.. Not sure what the transcool ones are like, I'm thinking about one of them, price is a lot more though
I got this for my daughter about a year ago fir her dorm , works great, recently purchased a Bkast Auxiliary for my office...works better lol. But either way I know the arctic ice doesn't "cool" the dorm room but works great as a cold fan "my daughters words", my blast (in my opinion) was not worth an additional 50$ at the time, but I absolutely love it in my office (21x16ft) and does the job, but I will tell you even the blast does not cool the room. Just about the length of my desk is more comfortable. We still run the HVAC as normal for the house. But on a NC summer day, you're "screwed" anyhow...but they do take the edge off on a desk or nightstand very well in my opinion
I love the night light and if you put a fan in your room it can get cold as hospital lobby in Ohio this particular state it works good. You must keep it filled up though.
@@reginabarham1945 I like the lights as well, today however at 103 heat index; it , my ceiling fan, and an Amazon bladeless were not enough without hvac. Well let me requote. I do not believe they would gave been enough!. My house however is a 1943 brick 2 story/basement that doesn't have the best windows in the world. So I'm happy as a clam keeping the house at 75-80 in the summer . Of course we just had a massive downpour so more muggy days to come. Plus side is our garden appears to be very happy at the moment lol.
It is meant to cool the space in front of you. Mine gets very cold if I'm sitting in front of it, in say my hot kitchen. It's not going to cool a room. Put some ice in there. I do have the Arctic Air Pure Chill with UV Light. So mine is a little different.
I bought one to use for my truck until I can get the AC fixed. The truck creates too much heat in the summer for that thing to work. Easily overpowered by the heat inside my cab. Worth a shot tho.
It's an evaporative cooler! Big ones have been used out West for years, but now companies make little plastic ones. They are usually cheap, have no condenser and work by blowing air over a wet screen. And they only work in dry desert climates. YOUR CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CHEAP EVAPORATIVE COOLER!"; Just put an electric or battery operated fan blowing wind at a damp towel that's hanging 2 or 3 inches in front of the fan (but not laying on the fan due to fire hazard). When the towel starts to dry, dampen it again. The water evaporating off the damp towel makes the air colder! These evaporative coolers don't work on the East Coast where there is more humidity. If your on the East Coast, look for a small portable A/C that has a condenser. If your lucky you may find a portable 12 volt one that can run off of batteries. They are expensive though.
after you freeze to filter put water on the top cold one usually works well with it and its a space Cooling so You need to Blow it directly to the Thermometer So you could see some changes Its only good for 1 person tho
This thing is sheeyit. I can say that the instructions are simple and to-the-point. It's fairly quiet. But I am very dissatisfied with it. The battery will not charge, not after several hours or overnight or even after 24 hours, you still have to plug it in. It blows air that's just a little cooler than ambient air, which says very little. And that's only about 12 inches away. If you want to cool a room without air conditioner, get a big bowl of ice cubes and put it under a table fan, turn the fan on low, and sit very close to it. It's cheaper and more reliable.
Your temp gauge is on the side not in front of the cooler, meaning youre expecting this was gonna cool the whole room🤣, this is just a personal cooler wc needs to be about 1 meter max away blowing cool air directly to you.
It doesnt cool the room no. It is a personal ac you sit right next to you that would cool you iff more than a normal fan. Its one of those things that have to sit right next to you. I have one and it truely works as a personal ac not one for a room. I highly recommend this product
I had a portable swamp cooler that is about 3 foot high. Uses water to cool the room a little bit. I now have a Haier portable A/C that I got from WalMart for about $250. This portable A/C works great to cool the whole room. It does need a window to exhaust the hot air.
This works great! I have 3 in my upstairs bedroom even though I have central air. You NEED to put ice in the top or in the space behind the filter. That way the air hits the ice & instant ac! So buddy yah may want to try that & do another review. I also have the one for around my neck for work!

its for personal use accompanied by a fans or ac this thing works wonders
Think about it though.. It could had been like 85* in there
He was supposed to wet the filter first than freeze it. maybe that's why it wasn't as cold?
He did … that’s why he said he froze it an additional 30 min because it was still liquidy*

Same, now I'm watching videos on why it stopped working. Lol
Good looking out bro. Definitely not buying this HEATER!
Haha. This is what everyone says. Thanks.
Crap
It’s a mini swamp cooler
found mine to be great, it blows cold air on me which cooled me down.
Sooooo......this wont make people say goodbye to the air conditioning bill???
Yes it will it will help
You have to freeze the filter? WTF??
Just bought mines today...no problems at all.
This works great! I have 3 in my upstairs bedroom even though I have central air. You NEED to put ice in the top or in the space behind the filter. That way the air hits the ice & instant ac! So buddy yah may want to try that & do another review. I also have the one for around my neck for work!
I just ordered this for my PS4 cause it keeps heating up and turns off.😅
I will reply when I see have it goes.
Hopefully your ps4 wont get damage because the air on this thing has moisture that could electrically short electronic devices.
Agreed - I got one. Put the filter under water, froze it, put it in. Nada - does nothing worth while at all.
What part of the country do you live in? These evap coolers don't work in humid regions. Only dry areas like Arizona.
Works well.in Quebec and we have big humidity .
Thank you i will still buy this beacuse its 20 dollar and i dont think going to be dissappointed (the ultra one)
Please report back. I'm sure you were disappointed.

I have one its sooo nice I have the Ultra I don't put it in the filter because I don't have to wait longer
