People are really missing the point with theses things. This little gamecube sized thing isn't an AC that will fully cool a room. It will cool you down. I have it sitting on my dresser pointing at me when I'm playing videogames and the cool breeze feels nice. I have $100 vornado fan that just blasts warm air at me. *for what it is* this thing actually does work well. You gotta use it *for what it is*, a personal cooler.
If the advertiser states these will cool a room, then they are stating it will cool a room. No one is misrepresenting this but the seller. There is no point to miss here. Its called BS.
Very smart for changing your mind. Evaporative ACs are the worst to buy. Instead of cooling the air it will make the air feel hotter and much more humid by adding water into the surrounding the air. Humidity is what make hot air unbearable. Dry, hot air can be tolerated. This is why central ACs and auto ACs remove the water from the air to make the air feel more comfortable. DON'T BE FOOLED BY ALL THIS FAKE ADVERTISING on the merits of portable evaporative ACs.
@@vicmurai1033 so as I understand this machine is for the very few dry hot places like Phoenix, but really counter productive for hot humid places like Orlando
@@vicmurai1033 so would you recommend using without adding the extra water in the top for simply cooling down a room? i was given one of these today as the answer to why my gaming room is "hot" to others when they come in.
Thanks for the review. I am actually using the Artic Air Pur Chill in my home office right now. I live in SoCal. We don't have central air and we actually donated our portable AC unit because it was big and heavy and it was a hassle trying to connect it to a window for the exhaust hose. Freezing the filter and putting ice water in the Arctic Air Pure Chill really makes a difference and it works pretty well. It actually works so well I have another unit for my daughter's room. No complaints yet. I have no way to test the air-purifying feature but 2 problems I had with the previous Arctic Air were the difficulty to add ice cubes and the mildew that would build up in the filter over time. It looks like this new Pure Chill fixes that but only time will tell. Thanks again!
If a small personal swamp cooler is what you are looking for, there is no shortage of videos on YT showing how to build your own out of a 5 gallon bucket or camping cooler or other creative ways. All these will be larger and more powerful than this thing for less money. Just search DIY swamp cooler and you will find many solutions better than this. That is to say, if a swamp cooler is really what you are wanting, however I don’t think many people are looking for that and are simply confusing this with air conditioning. I actually did build one myself out of a 5 gallon bucket and if you sit right in front of it with it blowing on you it is a nice cool (even approaching cold) breeze. However it is a cool and clammy breeze and it absolutely does not lower the temperature overall throughout the room, and if you are using it in a smaller room enclosed, the room will become humid and sticky. If you are desperate to cool down and are broke enough to be considering this thing, it would be better to just go to your local grocery store and pretend to be slowly shopping in the frozen/refrigerated foods aisle. Take a pass on this one.
@@Jeffreviews4u It's funny. I've been seeing it on many commercials and they make it sound like it can cool a whole room. That small little box can only directly cool you down. Not a whole room!
I purchased this same unit and it works great~!!! Just pop the insert into the freezer till its nice and hard, then put into the unit and add some water. The Arctic Air Pure Chill provides a strong air current of nice cold air right at you~!! I have it on my desk in a very hot room and I can work for hours in comfort. Highly recommend this air cooler.
I love this product. We have this in bedroom across from bed. Don't forget to freeze the filter and add ice to water. But even when we forget to , it still keeps us cool on these hot nights. BTW, we have the original one in the living room and it works well . If its super hot , we turn on our rotating tower fan next to it and we're comfy.
Thanks for this review and feel it is important that people who are planning on buying this device pay attention to what Artic Air is promoting and how they are promoting it. Some of the selling points such as how long the water last is false as well as cooling an whole room when I found out that it is not true. I agree with Jeff video it is truly an personal very personal air cooler meaning it only good for cooling an short range of air and not the whole area. Yes running an A/C can be expensive but it can cool an whole room when it works but the Artic Air cooler as the company that sells them are not being truthful and it is more about getting an profit. I brought two for $65 and it is great up close but I have to be up close real close. I do not feel I lost an lot of money as I make an lot of money but those that do not think about it. they will also push you to buy an upgraded model and I would think about that as well as it is probably and base model with enhanced options why buy that if it cannot do better than it. I guess it for bigger profits.
I love the ad. "why spend hundreds of dollars on an AC"? Because for 39.95 you can rust out 1000's of dollars worth of tools in your garage for CHEAP! Try it in your garage like the ad shows and watch what happens to anything metal in a couple of months. If you do buy this for your garage make sure you buy a case of rust buster at the same time. You'll thank me later.
I just bought my artic air pure chill today, 6/4/2021. I put it next to my bed because it gets sweltering living in an upstairs apartment. I think I’m going to be much cooler and relaxed at night.
@@Jeffreviews4u Thank you for your reply. It works pretty well at a specific temperature in my bedroom, like 50 degrees to 60. Today it's much warmer. It's working well as long as im lying in front of it. That's why I bought it for those warm days and nights while lying in my bed watching tv. If you know of any that is more powerful in giving out cooler air, let me know.
Thanks for the review and the comments. Was going to buy one as desperate attempt to stop extreme heat but as I see it this thing only cooled the room by 2 degrees and leaks… I’ll just sweat another month and save the 60 bucks.
As a personal air cooling device this does exactly what it needs to. When you're stuck in a 90° + room with no AC this little unit blows fresh cool air right into my space allowing me to watch TV work on the computer etc. I actually caught a little chill from it and had to turn it to low the other day while it was 85° out. This is all I need until my apartment building finally turns on the air conditioning for the summer. NOT a room air conditioner folks. PERSONAL air.
Thanks for this review. Wish I saw it back in April! We bought one of these over a month ago for $40 from our local Kroger's grocery store. We are here in Georgia, and it gets to around 85 degrees F at night indoors. We sleep with this thing on as well as two or three fans because it doesn't cool well enough by itself (in a 10x10 room). We put ice in our machine regularly, but don't always wet the filter. We certainly didn't think to freeze it. I'll try that and see what results we get. I would prefer if we didn't have to run fans in addition to a device like this. Considering the Breeze Maxx based on ads we see on RUclips. Please do a review for the Breeze Maxx!! We would trust your word over these possibly sponsored "reviewers".
Without any vent conduit removing and dumping heat outside of the building, the device will only make it hotter. Of course if one just sits in front of it, you will be cooler, but overall the room will be warmer than before the device was started. We can know this with certainty because the energy used to cool is not being removed from the room.
nope it will how ever make the humidity rise which defeats the effectiveness of sweating which makes it feel that way to you also that promotes mould growth in you home or wherever you are using it an a/c dehumidifies the air increasing the effectivess of sweating which in conjution with it lower the temp makes it feel much cooler to you
@@raven4k998 I agree with what you say about the humidity. Its also true however that the energy used to power the fan creates waste heat. An AC unit removes both the heat in the air (including waste heat generated by system) and condensing the water vapor by blowing inside air over cold expanded gas coils. and then removing the heat from the inside environment by blowing air through compressed gas coils outside.
Jeanette - you've got it ! What these fake new air coolers are doing is tantamount to "putting a bucket of ice in front of a fan".

I just baught one and trying it out now. I put ice water in mine and it's working great. The main reason I baught it is for camping. I'll run it in my tent this weekend. Right now I have it plugged into my power pack car battery jumper. It has a 115 outlet. I been running it for 3 hrs so far. I love it. Wished I had one yrs ago
@@robertcruz6974 if you are already running your fridge it basically costs nothing to make ice but I wish there was a version of this that doesn’t blow the water around (such as the IcyBreeze cooler)
I bought one and let me just say... If your the type of person that buys Dyson cooling products, it's good. Think of it as a fan that does everything, strong air flow, humidity... Honestly I was about to call it garbage but after using it as a Router/small server cooler, it's alittle more better than a fan of ice, plus it's stronger than some pc fans thst cost the same.
As somebody who doesn't have AC, this device is better than fans that just blow around hot air. I froze the filter and put ice in the water tank which makes the air cool for a couple hours. Only complaints I have about this device is that it's loud and too expensive for such a simple concept.
Take the fan you probably already have and get a bowl or pan with ice and have it blow across it. I use sealed ice packs and reuse them. I have an approximately 10" fan and I can feel a cool breeze 7' away.
I bought one and it does alright. I wasn't expecting a ice cold mini a/c but add cool water, a few ice cubes and it keeps my bathroom comfortable while I'm in there
Thanks I subscribed. You saved me $40. I did buy it but before I opened it I watched your review and it was very informative. the artic air is not gonna help my humid house and only works 2 feet away at most to feel any coolness. Too good to be true is what it is.
In my opinion this would not cool your room...it is intended as a personal air cooler...and you're right it needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent mold.
I have a bad feeling that its not great in more southern tropical climates. One of the reasons to have ac is to remove moisture out of the air which in itself makes it cooler. If you don't have an air condition than moisture will just remain in the home causing mold etc.
I had my doubts when I ordered mine, but I went ahead and bought it anyways. This little cube is awesome.....worth the money. Lastnight I had to turn it off because I was actually cold. I had it 4 feet away from my bed. I loved it so much that I'm ordering 4 more.
Jeff: I want something like this for my CAR. I live in Texas and the interior of the car gets to 115 degrees in a short time in our hot sun. Would you do a review of this item to see if it would cool your car? I would fill it with cold/ice/etcetera and leave it on in the car while I am in the store. I noticed the price is still around $45.00 and filters cost about 13.00, so, I want to see if it works before I invest. Let us know if you will test it in the car.
Just saw the commercial an was thinking about getting it but after this I figured I’ll just spend more money to get an ac that will work better.... thank you for the amazing video
I bought one today compulsively, I'm excited to try it because it may work well in my situation for sleeping. 40$ was a little bit much, but maybe it'll be worth it tomorrow..
I love this product. Called the number to order another filter. The number disconnects you. Sent an email and it is a bad email address. Do you know where to get filters?
I use mine with crushed ice, which helps with the water on the top, I don't use the filter cause it's useless. I leave the drawer out. I like the light settings, but it's loud. Always use cold water, crushed ice helps with using it to. It melts which helps with refilling so much. No water clean up anymore with that filter, I tossed it in the freezer and that is where it's at haha lol.
I bought the small personal cooler. I didnt expect it to cool a room, but I would have like it to cool my personal area, it did not. It only cooled me if I were literally naked in front of it. Lost the receipt couldn’t return it. Still in need of some relief, I bought the tower thinking it would have more umph. No, it cooled no better than a tower fan. It spewed water out the front, very disappointed. I saved my receipt, returning it tomorrow.
I have no idea what you people bought but mine works and works amazing it's not meant to cool a whole room. It's cool to literally put next to your bed and chill. Had my filter in the freezer for about 7 hours hours. I put in freezing cold water. . Let me tell you it's nice cool air, very nice. I wish I got the one without the lights lol I need darkness to sleepy anyhow. Getting back to it. It feels really goodm I unfortunately live in a house where the landlord has full control of the heat and AC 🙄 I plan on buying one for the kids because my son says the living room gets to hot at night. This might be good for him. I need to be cool at night otherwise I can not get comfortable
I was curious if this would be a good purchase for my bedroom.. I Love these reviews they shed the light and help spend money wisely or not at all! 😊❤️
This would be an excellent purchase for your bedroom if you like sleeping in damp wet bedding. Also ensure your bed has no exposed steel or prepare for rust. Sweet dreams
that depends...what's the temperature? can you freeze the filter, and is ice available? If not, I'd recommend getting a box fan. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@rajgill7576 my maintenance co worker is from a 3rd world country where they are like Jawas- he made an AC by taking copper tubing and coiling onto the back of a a box fan with zip ties he then dropped a swamp cooler pump into bucket of ice water and rubber tubed it to both ends of the copper tube so the ice water circulates from bucket into the coil
That is pretty hot. I was able to feel cooler with the ice and filter, but it might not make a large difference in 108 degree temperature. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I enjoyed your video:) One question I have is all the Arctic Air items you checked out, can anyone add essential oil to the water? Thank you
Are there any models of this type that you do reccomend? Im just trying to provide a cool room for my dogs when were gone to work, as they are stuck upstairs with no AC. Our window is pretty garbage for setting up a window ac, so looking for other alternatives?
It won't work. If the humidity reaches saturation point evaporation stops and thus the cooling. This kind of cooler only works in low humidity. And don't put it in any room that has anything that can rust!
Probably should have removed the batteries to properly clear the temp on the thermo. That way there is no possible error. But other than that great interview. Been thinking about getting one for my girlfriends kids room because it tends to be hotter in there and basically like you said near the end it would be used at night near his bed. Good review. Do you have any product similar that you recommend over this?
I’m pretty sure I broke mine. Normally I put the filter in the fridge and use it when it’s frozen (they recommend this) then I fill it up with cold water and ice cubes. The top can be lifted off easily. However I run it under my sink like an idiot and I think water probably got into the wiring somehow and it just shut off when I was using it once and never turned back on again. I either have to go to the store and get a new one or use that Stop paper I got and ask if I can get a new one.
I don't have to test this thing out I do commercial Hvac for a living and I can tell you it's a bunch of BS. Humidity is whats makes us feel uncomfortable. A dry 78 is better then a 72 degree room with high humidity. This thing removes no humidity.
I am not a A/C Pro, but I have been in the Plumbing and Heating business for 40+ yrs. What I do know is that a Real A/c system not only cools the Air but more importantly Dries the air and removes humidity. This seems to be a glorified fan with pretty lights and (adds) humidity to your air. Not the desired effect. Prob a battery powered fan only would be a better buy without all the effort and mess of adding water to it. IMHO.
Bought it. More research is needed to eliminate the need for cold water and ice which it needs to work well as a personal space cooler or more appropriately, an upper-body cooler. Please, remove the ambient lighting completely or add a switch to turn it on/off.
Thanks for the review. On impulse I was ready to buy but I had to do some research. I have a small bedroom, so, I believe it would be ideal for me. Which one would you recommend from the ‘personal air conditioner’?
They are all very similar...some have lights and some dont...as long as you have realistic expectations you should be good. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
So this is based on a cooling fan that we used to call a swamp cooler in the military unfortunately this thing is set up in the reverse. The filter on this device should be in the back and the fan should be much more high-powered to pull air through the filter that is kept wet causing the air to immediately be cooled by the water and blown out the fan unfortunately these fans do not work very well in areas that are already humid. Good idea poor execution
@@captainamerica1274 honestly I doubt it as you can see it didn't really cool very much and you constantly have to fill it with water not to mention the mess that it seems to leave you be truly better off to just go ahead and spend a few hundred dollars on a portable air conditioning unit or buy one used
Ohhhhhh man you do DIY, have I got a project for you. Look up TechIngredients AC cools a huge room maybe a whole house. He's got 3 videos I think. Now you show us how yours works after you build it! If you are a DIY tinkering kind of guy, this takes some study and work, but would be super you get it working right. I haven't built one yet. Lots of details and figuring. It's not all exactly clear. Solar Powered Air Conditioner!
@@Jeffreviews4u I could not return the item, due to seller no longer being on eBay , have since replaced it with a 6 litre beldray model which is fantastic
When I filmed this I was in Florida and the humidity was relatively low. That being said you're right, humidity has a big impact on these little units.
@@Jeffreviews4u yep....that would be the reason. I tried making one of those home Depot buckets, just 3 degree drop in the ne, but a 15 degree drop in southwest
It seems to work just as I thought it s not meant to cool your room there’s no way it could do that but just cool the air that blows on you like a fan only instead of like a fan it won’t just circulate room temp air
This works well for my tiny office. I use the artic air with this high speed fan that's mounted on the wall and it keeps me cool. I fill the tank with cold water and add 4 ice cubes

As somebody who doesn't have AC, this device is better than fans that just blow around hot air. I froze the filter and put ice in the water tank which makes the air cool for a couple hours. Only complaints I have about this device is that it's loud and too expensive for such a simple concept.
as long as you know what you are getting, and you live in the right climate this could help with cooling. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
The ultra version i got doesnt do much in this 90-100° heat. Its just a fan basically
A fan that sprays mist...lol. thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thanks for this review! You saved me money! This thing is trash. Thanks buddy 👍🏽💯
Happy to help. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
It really doesn’t work well but I’m in a dork and have it pointed at me so if you need it for something like that it’s great!
lol..tis true. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Take the fan you probably already have and get a bowl or pan with ice and have it blow across it. I use sealed ice packs and reuse them. I have an approximately 10" fan and I can feel a cool breeze 7' away.
I bought one and it does alright. I wasn't expecting a ice cold mini a/c but add cool water, a few ice cubes and it keeps my bathroom comfortable while I'm in there
Thanks I subscribed. You saved me $40. I did buy it but before I opened it I watched your review and it was very informative. the artic air is not gonna help my humid house and only works 2 feet away at most to feel any coolness. Too good to be true is what it is.
I was going to buy to make my bedroom extra cool before bed... no way it would just make it moldy.
In my opinion this would not cool your room...it is intended as a personal air cooler...and you're right it needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent mold.
i just wanna know which part of the filter is the top and which part is the bottom because i took it apart and forgot how to put it back in
I have a bad feeling that its not great in more southern tropical climates. One of the reasons to have ac is to remove moisture out of the air which in itself makes it cooler. If you don't have an air condition than moisture will just remain in the home causing mold etc.
Mine has close to 60 hours of total usage still working!
Just got one and I love it I live apt and I hate use the cooler in the livingroom so it's perfect in my bedroom 100%
Thanks for sharing your experience with this item! Have a great day and stay safe.
Thank you for the helpful review! I think you just saved me $40 ;0)

I had my doubts when I ordered mine, but I went ahead and bought it anyways. This little cube is awesome.....worth the money. Lastnight I had to turn it off because I was actually cold. I had it 4 feet away from my bed. I loved it so much that I'm ordering 4 more.
I guess you must work for this company or have stock in it because this thing is completely crap . Thanks for your fake review.
@@smittyallout2062 exactly, all this thing is, is a little fan with lights the cooling feature is bullshit
Jeff: I want something like this for my CAR. I live in Texas and the interior of the car gets to 115 degrees in a short time in our hot sun. Would you do a review of this item to see if it would cool your car? I would fill it with cold/ice/etcetera and leave it on in the car while I am in the store. I noticed the price is still around $45.00 and filters cost about 13.00, so, I want to see if it works before I invest. Let us know if you will test it in the car.
SAME! Texas heat ain’t no joke 👎
Just saw the commercial an was thinking about getting it but after this I figured I’ll just spend more money to get an ac that will work better.... thank you for the amazing video
I bought one today compulsively, I'm excited to try it because it may work well in my situation for sleeping. 40$ was a little bit much, but maybe it'll be worth it tomorrow..
Mine should be there here in 5 days! I’m so excited too! I hope it does what I’m looking for.
So what’s the verdict? Was it worth it?
Awesome content thank you for testing this!!
The real test would have been if it had been tested in a room that was 80-85 degrees instead of one that was relatively cool already.
I love this product. Called the number to order another filter. The number disconnects you. Sent an email and it is a bad email address. Do you know where to get filters?
you can get filters on amazon
They,got you! I'm sorry I
Purchased, if your Hope's
Are low to no,this is the
Way to Go!😫
I haven't seen them on Amazon yet... product is still pretty new... may be listed down the road. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Rich Bates - thanks for sharing.
@@richbates489 only filter are for the first one
i think you got a broken one cause i have 2 of them filled to the top and they don't leaked at all
wouldn't be the first time I got a broken one...Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Says not to return and these clever virus makers no how to professionally package and reseal a used defective unit back to a $tupid yankee 😆
My place is about 99 degrees F and this product works great its now at 97 degrees F very good product.
thanks for saving me some money!
Thank you very much for this review! You're awesome!
Absolutely! I appreciate the kind words. Have a great day and stay safe.
Just purchased this yesterday and plan on trying it out tonight. Thanks for the review.
Cool, let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Like me,the dope I am,
Bought it without a check
of reveiws,😞
@@kevincushing5567 happens to the best of us. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I use mine with crushed ice, which helps with the water on the top, I don't use the filter cause it's useless. I leave the drawer out. I like the light settings, but it's loud. Always use cold water, crushed ice helps with using it to. It melts which helps with refilling so much. No water clean up anymore with that filter, I tossed it in the freezer and that is where it's at haha lol.
Does it work good just for up close or would you say it kinda helped the whole room a little?
I bought the small personal cooler. I didnt expect it to cool a room, but I would have like it to cool my personal area, it did not. It only cooled me if I were literally naked in front of it. Lost the receipt couldn’t return it. Still in need of some relief, I bought the tower thinking it would have more umph. No, it cooled no better than a tower fan. It spewed water out the front, very disappointed. I saved my receipt, returning it tomorrow.
Greetings from Serbia. Good review. 🙏🙏🙏
I can't believe anyone would
buy one. At best you get a poor humidifier.
you're right...this adds humidity to the room - which in turn can cause it to feel sticky. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I just bought my arctic chiller today 7/2021 and I'm disappointed coz the coolness won't last you need to put ice once it melts😏
I agree with this. You get immediate cooling that doesn't last. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I have no idea what you people bought but mine works and works amazing it's not meant to cool a whole room. It's cool to literally put next to your bed and chill.
Had my filter in the freezer for about 7 hours hours. I put in freezing cold water. . Let me tell you it's nice cool air, very nice. I wish I got the one without the lights lol I need darkness to sleepy anyhow. Getting back to it. It feels really goodm I unfortunately live in a house where the landlord has full control of the heat and AC 🙄 I plan on buying one for the kids because my son says the living room gets to hot at night. This might be good for him. I need to be cool at night otherwise I can not get comfortable
You're right, this is not intended to cool an entire room. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thank you. Lol Helped me set up mine without breaking something on it.
u look like Guy Ferrari's as seen on tv version ur look and everything works amazing with this channel lmao i love it
Excellent review sir! Subscribed!
Awesome! I appreciate your support. Have a great day and stay safe.
I was curious if this would be a good purchase for my bedroom.. I Love these reviews they shed the light and help spend money wisely or not at all! 😊❤️
This would be an excellent purchase for your bedroom if you like sleeping in damp wet bedding. Also ensure your bed has no exposed steel or prepare for rust. Sweet dreams
I got this for Mother’s Day just now, I love it!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
This is Sara corbello I was going get one but my grandmother whines about me sitting underneath the fan when tell her I have a headache or earache
So Jeff what would you recommend for camping since this product is no good
that depends...what's the temperature? can you freeze the filter, and is ice available? If not, I'd recommend getting a box fan. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Cooled my whole house in under 5 min. I was not paid to write this review & i also have two tickets for a free trip to the moon and back.
Jeff Bezos is that you? Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u he left pretty funny comments on multiple arctic air videos
Say What?🤣🤣🤣
wow, saved me 40 bucks, ty!
I wonder if you put a bowl of ice water behind a fan and get the same effect
It probably does, but its worth my $18.99 to have a little gadget that I know my cat can't mess with
@@rajgill7576 my maintenance co worker is from a 3rd world country where they are like Jawas- he made an AC by taking copper tubing and coiling onto the back of a a box fan with zip ties he then dropped a swamp cooler pump into bucket of ice water and rubber tubed it to both ends of the copper tube so the ice water circulates from bucket into the coil
I've heard of people doing this and having success. If you try it let me know how it worked.
Its 108° outside and this thing is struggling to keep me cool lol. I feel no difference in adding ice and freezing the filter.
That is pretty hot. I was able to feel cooler with the ice and filter, but it might not make a large difference in 108 degree temperature. Thanks for sharing.
You're better off using the ice to make yourself a drink! 😉
Did anyone else get an arctic air pure chill review ad during this video? 😂
That's funny. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I enjoyed your video:) One question I have is all the Arctic Air items you checked out, can anyone add essential oil to the water? Thank you
I have added lavender to mine and it work fine. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I think is only great for offices or compact cubicles! I don’t see a benefit on larger rooms! Great review though!
Can you review the "Breeze Maxx" personal air cooler?
So I bought this because my vehicle has no working AC and it works perfectly fine. 😁
Thanks for sharing your experience with the pure chill. Have a great day and stay safe.
My ac doesn't work.u think it will work un texas heat?
Maybe try it in a smaller room instead of the huge living room/dining room area. That little machine can only do so much it seems like
This is definitely intended to be used as a personal cooler. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I recommend a doll house.
Great review you save me some money I almost bought one of these things
Happy to help! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Are there any models of this type that you do reccomend? Im just trying to provide a cool room for my dogs when were gone to work, as they are stuck upstairs with no AC. Our window is pretty garbage for setting up a window ac, so looking for other alternatives?
I'm thinking about getting 1 to put into my cooler for instacart orders
I sure love instacart! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
It won't work. If the humidity reaches saturation point evaporation stops and thus the cooling. This kind of cooler only works in low humidity. And don't put it in any room that has anything that can rust!
If you go on the website it says it's cordless,not😡.It's quiet,not😡
Definitely not cordless....lol. thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Probably should have removed the batteries to properly clear the temp on the thermo. That way there is no possible error. But other than that great interview. Been thinking about getting one for my girlfriends kids room because it tends to be hotter in there and basically like you said near the end it would be used at night near his bed. Good review. Do you have any product similar that you recommend over this?
Who knows therr may be a gradient water dynamic that needs to be instigated... With the procedure in the instructions.
Do you think this could help in cooling down an SUV Toyota Lnadcruiser I use to sleep in?
You can add ice to the water part it makes it cooler
Yes, the manufacturer recommends this. Thanks for sharing.
I’m pretty sure I broke mine. Normally I put the filter in the fridge and use it when it’s frozen (they recommend this) then I fill it up with cold water and ice cubes. The top can be lifted off easily. However I run it under my sink like an idiot and I think water probably got into the wiring somehow and it just shut off when I was using it once and never turned back on again. I either have to go to the store and get a new one or use that Stop paper I got and ask if I can get a new one.
I've been using a small fan running across an ice pack. It seems cooler to me but I don't have anything to check for any difference.
I bought one, and have only had it 2 weeks, and it broke! It just stopped turning on! Now I'm hot again. lol
lol...hopefully you can return it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I don't have to test this thing out I do commercial Hvac for a living and I can tell you it's a bunch of BS. Humidity is whats makes us feel uncomfortable.
A dry 78 is better then a 72 degree room with high humidity. This thing removes no humidity.
You're right, this actually adds humidity to a room. Thanks for sharing your experience. Have a great day and stay safe.
@@Jeffreviews4u thanks
there are people in Nevada that love their swamp coolers!
you didnt really seriously think it was going to work, did you?
I'm always optimistic. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u im hip 2 it
I am not a A/C Pro, but I have been in the Plumbing and Heating business for 40+ yrs. What I do know is that a Real A/c system not only cools the Air but more importantly Dries the air and removes humidity. This seems to be a glorified fan with pretty lights and (adds) humidity to your air. Not the desired effect. Prob a battery powered fan only would be a better buy without all the effort and mess of adding water to it. IMHO.
Bought it. More research is needed to eliminate the need for cold water and ice which it needs to work well as a personal space cooler or more appropriately, an upper-body cooler. Please, remove the ambient lighting completely or add a switch to turn it on/off.
I wonder if you put a dry ice in the water if that will work.
I will have to try this...interesting idea. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thanks for the review. On impulse I was ready to buy but I had to do some research. I have a small bedroom, so, I believe it would be ideal for me. Which one would you recommend from the ‘personal air conditioner’?
They are all very similar...some have lights and some dont...as long as you have realistic expectations you should be good. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
So this is based on a cooling fan that we used to call a swamp cooler in the military unfortunately this thing is set up in the reverse. The filter on this device should be in the back and the fan should be much more high-powered to pull air through the filter that is kept wet causing the air to immediately be cooled by the water and blown out the fan unfortunately these fans do not work very well in areas that are already humid. Good idea poor execution
Yeah, it's a swamp cooler that works best in dry climates. Not so good in high humidity. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Would this work good for say a small efficient apt ty good video
@@captainamerica1274 honestly I doubt it as you can see it didn't really cool very much and you constantly have to fill it with water not to mention the mess that it seems to leave you be truly better off to just go ahead and spend a few hundred dollars on a portable air conditioning unit or buy one used
@@captainamerica1274 this video was filmed in a small efficiency hotel/apt. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Is the Pure Chill better than the Ultra?
In my opinion they were nearly the same product. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Ohhhhhh man you do DIY, have I got a project for you. Look up TechIngredients AC cools a huge room maybe a whole house. He's got 3 videos I think. Now you show us how yours works after you build it! If you are a DIY tinkering kind of guy, this takes some study and work, but would be super you get it working right. I haven't built one yet. Lots of details and figuring. It's not all exactly clear. Solar Powered Air Conditioner!
my one lasted a month before packing up, emitted smoke then died
Sounds like you need to exchange it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u I could not return the item, due to seller no longer being on eBay , have since replaced it with a 6 litre beldray model which is fantastic
Good thorough review.
Glad you liked it...happy to help. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u Jeff. Please tell me where you got that shirt. Its nice.
What state are you in.... humidity level can make a difference
When I filmed this I was in Florida and the humidity was relatively low. That being said you're right, humidity has a big impact on these little units.
@@Jeffreviews4u yep....that would be the reason. I tried making one of those home Depot buckets, just 3 degree drop in the ne, but a 15 degree drop in southwest
@@greenghopper that's cool you made your own.
It seems to work just as I thought it s not meant to cool your room there’s no way it could do that but just cool the air that blows on you like a fan only instead of like a fan it won’t just circulate room temp air
Also one more question does it work n high humidity climate ?
no, this adds humidity.
Hey I need some help. I followed all the instructions exactly but mine won't turn on. No lights or anything are on
Either your Electricity is turned off, or you bought a damaged broken one. Could you take it back .
This works well for my tiny office. I use the artic air with this high speed fan that's mounted on the wall and it keeps me cool. I fill the tank with cold water and add 4 ice cubes
Thanks for sharing your experience with this item. Have a great day and stay safe!
Have you tried using dry ice 🧊 😬
no but that is an interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.
I recommend just buying a real AC unit!
No truer words were spoken; a little late for us. 😞
