Chillwell Portable AC

- Chillwell Portable AC is a cool and small AC unit that charges with a USB cable. I can charge it anywhere I can charge my phone. And it actually works! A little, lol. It really blows cooler air, that is about what I expected. Definitely not a room ac unit. But if it's pointed directly on you, it has a cooling effect, so I like it for that.
I have no affiliation with them, but this is their website.

![❄️ 🥶 Chillwell Portable Air Conditioner review. Can the Chillwell Portable AC cool your room? [425]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/G36wTf9jVZc/mqdefault.jpg)
So it's a fan with a slight chill and some cool lights lol. definitely not going to cool an entire room, but if it's pointed directly at you, and is within a few feet, it's fairly comfortable. But absolutely not an air conditioner.
I does work in my house but I had to buy 90 of these mini ac to feel anything
We can't install a/c in our condo and it's piping hot here..
Would this be ok on a bedside table or do you think a Dyson fan would do better ?
Any large fan that plugs in would be better. This is tiny and literally has to be within a few feet of you to cool you down at all.
@@FitsandFun I have it And thanks to This video I got it working
@@johnjkizer6399 I watched other videos and I'm going to do a experiment with the cooler I'm going to put ice in there and Cold water and see if that gives cold air I mean water normal good but I want cold air
I admit it does work in my house, the catch is that I had to buy 90 of these mini ac in order to feel any kind of cool breeze, another catch is that I’m never cool but always sweating because I need to constantly run around refilling one after another by the time I fill the last one the first one is already out of water.

Jeez, thanks for the information. I was thinking about purchasing one but was on the fence.
You know how ridiculous you sound.
It's a swamp cooler. You can build your own for $25 that can make way more cool air.
For $25?? I’m in the desert. DO TELL!!
@@InspiredByEbonyLove Tape an ac filter to a box fan, then have water trickle over the filter. Wala, a swamp cooler for less than 25 bucks. Swamp coolers only work in low humidity areas. I live in FLorida, so all they do is get you wet.
Just saw a RUclips commercial for this. They said it can cool a 95° down to 65° in 2 minutes, which would be impossible for even a huge AC unit. At that point I knew this was complete BS.
If it sounds to good to be true...🤗
I just came here off that ad and figured it was some BS. It's just like any other mini cooler lmao
@@BlackBeartic229 My husband and I almost fell for it along with a lot of his colleagues. These scam commercials are so bad it's laughable but they are making billions. Greed it's everywhere, what a world!
It is possible if the humidity was super low and if you used icecubes, the space is small and you were measuring close to the wind outlet
Ugotit twisted... daOne daStident built4hiz "classroom" cooled it from 95to65 and he used a lrge ogloo wit dryice (sales marketing story)... Diz lil'tyke haz zero claimz 2match dat...
Thank you, this was the most helpful review I’ve found.
Thanks for the demonstration, this is the best review I've seen so far 😎👍
ur an *** ****
its the exact design with a diff brand name of a one I bought at Home Depot in 2022 and donated to my old roommate. Was not a replacement AC although it's great for sleeping noise and comfort
It would probably be just as effective, if not more, if you poured the glass of ice water over your head. Cheaper too, and without the USB recharge.

Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
It's a fan, not an ac unit that needs a generator. Are you being paid to copy and paste this comment?
@@FitsandFuntrue 😂
Its a small fan. It works. And has a 'techie vibe' type control panel. But they charged me $179 for what was suppose to be a $59.95 product. They talked me into a power pack cord 'protector' that was just the PLUG to the thing. You pay separately to actually be able to plug it in and use it. And it was broken. Then there was the warranty that I refused but got charged for anyway, at $40. So we're at $115. And they charged me $176 approximately. How'd they get there? Stealing, that's how. #SCAMALERT
🤔🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😫😫😫
it is worth nothing. If you have a high school diploma, you won't fall into this trap. It is basically a small fan blow over the ice you put in. Get youself a big bucket of ice, and use a fan blow over it, it is more effective.
Damn sorry homie
thanks, when will I ever learn to just avoid giving out my Bank card ,
you are asking for trouble not worth the trouble. you are at their mercy They have your money weather the product works or not.
They should all be out of business.
bro at that point just buy a small window AC this little box shouldnt be more than $40 if you ask me
Thank you for your honesty and more importantly getting right to the point of IS IT WORTH IT. ❤
re: "IS IT WORTH IT?" Obviously, not.
@@warriormanmaxx8991 more "garbage" pollution. Our environment has no chance with many stupid wasteful inventions.
Seeing as it saved me hundreds every summer on electrical bills, I’d say yes, it’s worth it to me.
@magicalmystery1964 Really? Is this sarcasm.
@@FitsandFun no, it isn’t. Just because it didn’t work for you in your life, doesn’t mean it can’t work for anybody else. I live in a place that gets up to and above 115 in the summer. Can get op to to 100 indoors. Because of this, the unit, which I keep next to me, cools the air around me to about 70-75 degrees. Last summer my average bill was $150. I ran central ac for hour or two at night to cool down my room. I used one next to my chair in the day or in the kitchen, and left one next to my bed at night. The previous summer, when I kept the ac set at 75-78 I was paying over $300 a month. Since energy prices have skyrocketed over the last two years it will be considerably more this year. It is only me here, I don’t need to cool the ‘whole room’. Just me and this serves the purpose.
The nice thing about evaporative or misting coolers is that your throat doesn't feel dry in the middle of the night
Thanks for the honest review. Will be purchasing it for my grow tent. I just meed to lower my temps like 5-10°F during sleeping hours.
It doesn't lower room temperature. It will only cool what's directly in front of it. It's basically just a fan that blows air over a cold, wet sponge.
I wish I had watched your review before I bought this thing. The advertisement made it sound like it can do more than it actually does.
Glad I looked it up on RUclips. In need of air conditioner and glad I was able to avoid this garbage 🗑, smh
I ordered 2 units early June 2022, decided to return them (never used & in original packaging). Mailed and insured them on June 22nd. They were picked up by Chillwell representative at the Nevada PO on June 25th (I gave the tracking number confirmation). I have called multiple times for my refund and was told the refund would be processed. After the 5th call while waiting for a supervisor to call me back, I was advised that they are getting multiple calls regarding refund issues. The representatives are home based and just trying to do their job. I was advised that Chillwell is having issues with their refund systems and tech is trying to fix it. I finally had to dispute this with my credit card company. Also notified BBB, all this could still take weeks. I would never recommend this company no matter how good the product might be.
Wow! Sorry to hear that. I made this review thinking it would get around 100 views, but I review all kinds of stuff. And the amount of issues people have had with these is amazing. And nobody is happy with it. I wasn't impressed, but thought it was neat. Definitely false advertising, it's basically a weak fan with a night light.
I bet, I started watching some of these reviews and people are saying they cool the entire room and they replace ac. That's ridiculous! I didn't see those reviews before I made this review, but it's amazing how many fake reviews there are of this thing. But then again nobody would buy it if they said it was a fan with a nightlight.
I got refunded the whole amount today back on my credit card. Not sure if Chillwell did the refund or my CC Company went ahead after dealing with the AC company. There may be help for the rest still waiting.
@@FitsandFun u didn't mention anything even close to that in the video. What's the point of a review if you're not gonna say what u really think about it & maybe mention the downsides? Seems like u were only hyping it up in the vid, were u paid or something?
I wasn't paid, I wasn't aware that there were so many scam and fake videos made about this. Or that it was so popular. I figured I'd get a few hundred views, and I don't like trashing products in reviews. It's the scam reviews that are misleading people to think it's something that it's not. I gave my honest opinion. I never said it will cool an entire room, or replace an AC.
As said, it's an itty bitty swamp cooler. And while you may have spot cooling for a while, it's also raising your humidity which will make the room feel warmer.
REVIEW UPDATE🤓
So this litte fan is a good buy. It will definitely keep you or your space area pretty cool 🥶. It is not designed for larger rooms. Mines however was not as portable with a USB cord. You have to keep it plugged into some power supply. (It’s not wireless). It did keep me cool in my car while having lunch 🥪 with out having to run my car and waste gas. But all in all, it is worth it if you’re just trying to keep yourself cool.
I was planning to buy for a car camping. Did it work well inside your car?
@@joaocarlosamorim1766 i was parked under a shade tree which kept the temperature down a bit, but for camping 🏕️ it should keep you cool if it’s not too hot 🥵 outside. Remember to add ice and freeze the filter for a better cool 🥶
My advice to you is: 1. get a big bucket of ice, it has more cooling power than this product. 2. if you have not get your high school diploma, try to study well before venture into this full of cheaters society.
Were you using it during the Winter?
I absolutely love mine!! And yes!! They work-could care less about the different lights but still a fun feature. I hate products that have that USB port bc that metal ring often tears up & then u can’t use said product! I got a magnet insert charger for those units-insert into the female part USB port & leave that in the unit. Boom! Cold air!
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Get you a big bucket of ice, using a fan blow over it, it will much more effective than this. I think you need to return your high school diploma back to your school, you really have wasted the education resource of the society.
Been looking at purchasing a few of these, really appreciate the review mate, answered all my questions in the matter of a bathroom break.
I'm not trying to mislead anyone with these, they blow cooler air, but they don't cool a room. I keep it directly on me like a fan and it's very comfortable. Definitely doesn't replace or substitute my window ac unit.
Don't waste your money
do not buy! it's a piece of crap! all these youtubers and people who have mega followers are paid to promote it! you'll be sorry if you buy this!!!
Worth it. I have four of them. But, I live in Florida, so it really helps with the humidity
@@FitsandFunWell said!
I bet this would be good for camping or the beach. You're going to have a cooler with ice and drinks, and can add some of it to this thing to help cool you off. I wouldn't use it at home where there's better options though.
Yep but will also need to charge it somehow as he said it ran for only 1 hr before the battery died.
@DxWolfsrayne - 1. How often does one go "camping" or off to the beach?? 2. Campers ought to be able to handle whatever weather Mother Nature sends. 3. Turn on a unit while inside a pitched tent?!? 4. Will the "cool air" chase away the bears?!?
Great review sir thank you very much!!!
I purchased this and is it it is a scam. I'm hoping they will give me a refund on it it is so terrible the way people take advantage of people that want something decent. I would not purchase if you already haven't I am so furious with these people.
I agree they advertise it will cool an entire room and it literally has to be facing you and blowing on you to cool you at all.
Agreed! TOTAL SCAM PRODUCT!! Buyers beware, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!
@@beckysmith9677 i will close my cap one card if this isn't insured by them. Wells Fargo would take it right off my card no hassle. And make them come after me for it. Face me!!! 🤠🤠
Whenever companies claim lofty things like"300 percent efficiency!!" I immediately think scam. It's rechargeable, no way it actually cools anything down go an appreciable level. Kinda loud too actually I read their ads for fun and it claims it's silent. It's a swamp cooler.... Mega ripoff.
You can't expect ice cold ac, and it's appropriately priced, it's a level above a normal fan
It's a swamp cooler. You jump in a pool and you live in Phoenix, AZ. The temperature is 91 with a dew point of 45. The Heating Index is 87. You live in Columbus, GA. Temperature is also 91, however, the dew point is 70. That's a Heat Index of 97. This thing won't work to cool a room let alone a 400 square foot room unless the dew point is low enough for the water to become a vapor and absorb the heat as it does thus the air becomes cooler. This isn't new. In humid locations for AC to work efficiently it must remove water vapor which is seen as condensate outside dripping from the unit. Same principle with a dehumidifier. 80 degrees with a dew point of 55 is a relative humidity of 42%...very comfortable. 80 with a dew point of 75 is miserable. Again not new science.
Exactly. This swamp cooler is just that, a swamp cooler.
Even before this one with a rechargable battery, you could still purchase a cell phone battery to charge your phone with and run these air coolers off of. They take the same amount of power as charging a cell phone(on medium to lowest setting, I could get over five hours from a decent cellphone charger battery). The solid about them is that they will always blow cool air.i have used one for years when I sleep in my upstairs not air conditioned room.
Thanks for your channel and review
I just bought one, and I’m excited to try it out. On my box instructions, it says to place the cartridge in the freezer until frozen and then add your water for best results. I will update again once I give it a try. Thanks so much for your tutorial video.
Home Depot sells something exactly like this. I bought it. Its okay, just get 1 cartridge. And freezing the cartridge is a pain in the 🍑
So where’s your update?
@@JohnHWelch63 I’ve already provided my update. Check your comments
@@ErinJanaeAlyse Oh I see. The update was a separate comment, not part of this thread as one would expect. Seems you gave yourses a goot review.
Thanks for sharing all the info. Exactly what I was looking to hear. One last question how long until you have to put water again if it runs nonstop?
The only real review about this product in RUclips. The rest is advertising
It's a fan with a nightlight. It can blow cold air but you have to constantly put cold water on the filter. It's a cool little device, but it's no portable ac. Definitely false advertising when people say it'll cool a room. It has to be pointed directly at you like any fan,.
@@FitsandFun Perfect. Thank you so much.
I find that if I fill a cooler with ice, put a fan in front of it and angle the cooler towards the fan, that definitely cools off a medium to larger sized room. I doubt this would do as well as that from the reviews I read, but it seems to help and has other advantages like portability. It might be worth giving one a try.
Its a scam dude
@badtrekee4348 In large part yeah. A regular old fan with ice behind it actually does better. My studio was roasting in over 90. I closed the doors, filled a cooler with ice and put a fan in front of it and it cooled off a medium large-sized room and for much cheaper than what they're selling.
@@logicprofan1066 what do you mean cool coolers for camping and vacation or a smaller one
It does not work as advertised.
I generally use the same kind of coolers one would use for camping. I fill it with ice and angel it towards the back of the fan.
How well do this things work?
It depends on the environment you use it in.
If you are in a well ventilated area that is a little too warm it will make a noticeable difference if it is within about 3 feet of you.
If, however, you are in a room or area with no ventilation and hot air is trapped inside that area, forget it, the ice will melt and it will blow room temperature air on you.
Bottom line.
They do work, but only in certain situations.
Will you put one of these in our Drum enclosure at our church. Small and not ventilated. It works amazing
I love the fact that you did not edit out the dad joke at the end
I live in Florida, and it REALLY helps with the humidity, and bugs. When I'm sitting outside, it keeps the mosquitoes off of me, and it is the perfect A.C HELPER. I keep one on my nightstand, and it helps me fall asleep. I love mine, and nobody is paying me to say it.. EDIT. I wrote this four months ago. I'm sorry to report, that as time has gone by, calcium has built up from the water, and it barely works anymore. Don't buy this product. I'm currently looking for something that does the same thing, but possibly more quiet, and better parts.
That is just rubbish. Its an evaporative cooler that ADDS moisture to the air making it more humid. The mosquito bit is just laughable!
Sounds like I might do better with just a bucket of dry ice , some water, and a fan to blow the cool vape around a room, no?
re: "nobody is paying me to say it..." 1. No one is challenging you about being paid! 2. Why raise the issue, when no issue exists ... until you did !!
If you watch the hundreds of paid ads you'd understand why I'm saying that. Also even small channels like mine get at least 5 offers a week from companies to make a paid review of some bogus Chinese product. So I just say it up front. Watch my other videos on this thing once I saw those hundreds of bogus ads popping up after I made this video.
Of course it's cool, it's like somebody blowing air over ice water on you. It's a fan with just about the cheapest kind of radiator possible. I grew up in a trailer that had a bigger version of the same exact thing in place of an air conditioner. I have no idea what it was really called, but everyone I knew called it a cooler. You put cool water (just pumped from your well) in the bottom of it and a fan blew the air over it through the trailer. It had removable panels on the sides that were bent metal frames that you packed full of hay - I guess to slow the air down and force it to stay walled in with cool water for a while? Sometimes we put bags of ice in it. Anyway, same thing. The huge fan in it moved a whole lot more air than the fan in this new thing ever could, but it still sucked. There's a reason people use air conditioners. The only reason we used that for a while was because we were poor and it cost ever little to run. It could have been from the 1940s or something for all I know.
I agree, and I just made another update video addressing the BS videos saying that this will cool an entire room and replace your AC.
@@FitsandFun Yeah. I was hoping that ad had a video with comment section enabled up somewhere, but I didn't find it. That's such a scammy ad on it's face that I was surprised they were even rebranding an obsolete technology rather than selling a fan with a box containing one LED.
I wasn't aware of those videos when I made this video last year. And I don't want to be lumped in with that scammy garbage.
@@FitsandFun I can understand that. Since you weren't talking about Big Air Conditioning trying to keep a plucky young inventor's revolutionary technological wonder under under wraps and gave a fair, realist evaluation of how it works, I didn't get the impression that you were associated with the company in any way.
Swamp coolers. There’s nothing about this thing conditioning any air, just doing the opposite actually. Shouldn’t even be called an AC.
Once the ice melted it’s just like a small electric pan
Yeah, I have to put cold water on the filter and put ice in it just to get it cooler. It's basically a fan with a night light.
@FitsandFun is the air that it blows out moist/humid? I have a chinchilla, so a regular fan won't benefit him. Looking to get this to keep as a backup in case my normal A/C goes out, so it just needs to cool his cage. Thank you!
Not really. This thing is really tiny, and if it's not inches away from you, there's almost no benefit from it. And at full price, it's ridiculously overpriced. I've since similar units on Amazon that look more effective and also for a fraction of the price.
Works great in my camper.
It is a air cooler as sold in many South Asia countries but not a A/C
This is one of those things that you'll buy, use a few times, then itll end up at you next garage sale for $5
Mine ended up in a cabinet, buried with some other junk, to keep it company
I am so happy I didn’t overpay yesterday
If I didn't care about the portability part and I used it plugged into a cord could I have it powered on while it was plugged into the wall so the battery wouldn't die while I was using it or does it not work while it's charging?
Thank you for the review and comments. I called bs when the nasa engineer didn't have a last name and the buy before supplies run out didn't help.
Cool an entire room??? Lmfao!! 😂. That little crap couldn't even cool my entire mini cooper, parked under a shape.
The only practical use I can see for it is to use it outside and point it at your face when you’re sitting in a lawn chair on a hot day. I doubt it will keep a room with any appreciable size cool. At least not overnight. You’d have to get up several times during the night to refill it.
I love it I have two of them
I heard you can set it outside unplugged and it will cool the entire country. Just 1
Cools off small room. Noticed on mine the right side pumps out way more? And then lots of condensation happens around that area
It’s a swamp cooler that put’s moisture in the air. What about the filter, do you have to keep replacing them?
No clue, it's actually worse than a swamp cooler. Watch my updated videos on this. The company actually tried to get them removed from RUclips. Because I exposed their nonsense.
How much are the replacement cartridges since they have to be replaced every three months
I'm not sure, I don't see why they have to be replaced. They're basically sponges that act as a wick for the cold water to let the fan blow over. Seems like they can just be cleaned and reused.
This is basically what they used to call “swamp coolers”
and they would cool a whole house
And swamp coolers are used out here in Phoenix..
It works, but nothing like good ole freon !!
@@stevenwheat3621Yeah they work good in dry climates like Arizona, Nevada etc. Anywhere else would be an overkill of humidity and definitely does not replace an AC.
@@blueterraceno. Just creates leaks and rotting wood issues due to the water being introduced into the air. That’s why new homes don’t use this stuff anymore. If it does not have a compressor, it’s not an AC.
Ok so the thing is its air cooler.
They work perfectly in desert conditions where its dry with 0 humidity. They throw cool air like AC
But this small its better for a small 1 man camp, its never going to work for rooms even smaller apartment rooms
How long does the coldness last? Or does the water inside warm up at all?
Not long. It's only really chilled air as long as the sponge is frozen or very cold. The cool air only comes from the cold sponge in front that the fan blows over.
Can it run while it’s plugged in ?
Good Job. How much are these units? An Hour is a decent runtime! Thanks!
I live in Oklahoma and work in a metal warehouse that’s not air-conditioned, i’m looking for something to sit near my desk and blow on me when it feels like it’s 200°. I’m a little skeptical on if this will work
It's just a fan blowing air over a wet sponge. Slightly cool air if the sponge is cold enough. Otherwise it's literally just a small fan.
I seen the same park before they really make it every year
Where do you find filter cartridges and what is the cost? Are Arctis and Chillwell the same company and which is the best?
I have no idea, sorry. This Chillwell was neat, but it really doesn't blow cold for very long. It's basically a personal fan, unless I freeze the front filter.
@@FitsandFun I was just given one and thought I I would get an extra so I could keep an icy one in at all times. The only one I could find was on Amazon and it was over $40.00 Seems a little shady?
Yeah, it's a fan basically that costs $90. The entire unit is probably worth $30 tops.
@@denisehenderson2264 - over $40 for a little filter ?!? Do Not Buy A Unit!!
Will it run/use it if you plug it into some type of power block to extend the run time, or does it have to charge up only when it is off?
Yes, it will stay running. But please understand, it's a fan that blows air over a cold wet sponge. That's it. It has no actual AC components. And once that sponge warms up, the air is not chilled at all.
@@FitsandFun thank you for that update 👍
Will it run continuously if plugged in?
No.
Can you keep it plugged into it last longer and how far of a distance does it actually shoot to cold air
It's a fan. Save your money. You have to freeze a sponge in order to get cooler air, and that only last for a minute. Watch my updated videos, I explain it better.
How long do they take to charge? Thank you
Its nice to see content that isnt over rehearsed and full of forced humor. Great review!
How did you clean it
Ac’s use freon which is what keeps the air so cold. This is good for a personal cooler. I see alot of people saying it’s a scam. Not really. Although it is packaged as an AC, it is a mini swamp cooler. It drops the temperature around me to a comfortable level. And since I live in Vegas, running the ac can run you $400 a month at a setting of 75. This keeps me comfortable and it’s dirt cheap to run, saving me hundreds every summer.
How long does it stay cool for & how often you have to put cold water?
It doesn't really work well. It's really just a fan that blows air over a wet sponge. On a humid day it was absolutely useless.
😂Hehehe that awkward ass ending you can tell buddy been practicing those lines he was like imma cook em with this one😂 Nah good video tho bro appreciate the info🎉
Yes! Finally a Johnny on the spot a.c.!!! If your a construction guy in texas you know you want this!!!!😂😂😂
you'd have to strap it to your hard hat.
I don't know man! But i hope someday the come up with something to cool down those shit ovens!!! God!! I hated those things down in San Angelo Texas!!!🤬🤬🤬😂🤣😂
Was about to buy this before seeing the comments, thanks for the overview. I think ill just make a $20 Styrofoam AC
Yeah, it's a fan over cold water and a color changing nightlight. No where near AC. I'd say for $19.99 this would be a decent purchase. But not for $80, or whatever it is now.
Sounds noisy. Basically, a swamp cooler, no new idea. If you've a gauge, what is the temp its blowing out?
It's just a fan blowing air over a wet sponge. Pretty worthless. Definitely not an AC.
Thank you
I BOUGHT THIS IT GETS COOL BUT LEAKS LIKE CRAZY...I AM NOT FAN...YOU NEED A BATH TOWEL TO CATCH ALL YHE WATER OR YOU CAN REALLY RUIN WHAT YOU SIT IT ON
Have you tried to get a new filter cartridge the only place I can find them is on Amazon at $40+
I did buy this unit also.
So basically this is a mini swamp cooler right ? It doesn’t have a compressor in it or anything like that correct ? Thanks
Correct. It's literally a fan blowing air over a sponge.
@@FitsandFun gotcha. Thanks for the response amigo.
You Are Welcome !!
The ice will melt so fast., then what? When you need a 24/7 device ..
Great, thanks
I seen a commercial saying it cools a room under 5 minutes. Lol doubt it. But how long does the ice water last ?
It won't cool a room a single degree. It's a fan blowing air over a cold, wet sponge.
@GordonHagen - re: "how long does the ice water last?" About the same time as the ice in a double whiskey in an air conditioned bar. Stay laughing ... Do Not Buy Any Of These Scam Units !!
Good to know it only works for an hour, can you plug it in to power source?
Yes, but it's just a fan that blows air over a wet sponge.
Damn!! The SOB got me! I bought 4 of these piece of crap! This is messed up! Something needs to be done about companies doing this kind of mess on consumers!
When you see these items on the net always type it up. Someone bought it before you and did a review,I promise you. Type it up on RUclips. I just did it for this,cause like you I seen a commercial. Came here,said negative lol.
Itz an interesting product still and a gud review!!! Only thing missing iz "Cost" & iz running itwit'usb plugged in (if possible) & how long wudit run b4 meltdown😂
Lookediy up myself... 80bux, FoH!!! I'm not even interested in tryin'diz ripoff crap now!!! A ReaL ac costs $90 at Wallyz!!! SCAM!!!
Wait, you found it amazing that a fan blowing air over chilled water cooled you down a bit? Try putting a bowl of ice water in front of a fan, you'll save yourself a bunch of money AND you'll be amazed! 🤭
Underwhelmed with the cooling ability, and with the BS videos saying it'll cool an entire room. But it does make a nice $90 nightlight.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for this tip…I’m definitely going to try that tonite!
I bought two of these. But cant find out if it cools with no water other than circlating air and how long it takes for water to run out and how much cartridge costs. You didnt address any of these questions nor infor people the cartridge has to be changed often for high efficiency. Im wishing i hadnt bought them
I'm not a spokesman for them, I was just telling my thoughts about it. It's basically a night light with a fan that can potentially blow cooler air with a bunch of cold water and ice added. Without the filter being cold the air isn't cool. But I'll throw it out before I buy a new filter, I'm not all that impressed with it. But it does look neat with the colors.
Welcome to the Club of "wish had not bought them" I bought a $15 variety at a discount store. Filter needs to be put in freezer, then add water. How long would that frozen filter last in hot weather ?? Yeahhh ... "not long." Enjoy the heat ... September is not far away.
So basically, it’s a miniature swamp cooler !
Yes, except these are probably less effective. They are just fans.
Do you think this will cool my dump truck down if I run two of them
No. It's literally just a fan. Doesn't cool the air, just whomever is directly in front of it.
This may work if you live in a cardboard box but then it’s still a gamble.
Are they too noise to use inside a car?
I like the concept but think its just too small to be effective. I would rather have something with the power of a standard box fan blowing through cold foam/spongy material but whatever you would call that, doesn't seem to exist, and I'm too lazy to invent it.
You're better off spending $200 on a good fan. It can't do a whole room. It will cool you if you sit in front of it. After a month, it doesn't get chilly cold anymore, just cold. Okay. But the biggest red flag is the over charged me a hundred dollars on my credit card. And it didn't work until I used mu own cord. The one they charged me $15 for didn't work at all. And they still charged $60 extra, for what? A warranty they won't honor because the web site says they won't refund if its been out of the package. How do we find out its not working if we don't take it out and try it? They're just a scam.
When memes goes from Post To video 😅😅
Will this thing keep a UPS truck in a South Texas summer i wonder 🤔
No. It's a fan. No AC components at all. Uses a wet sponge and cold water as the cooling mechanism.
How long does it run? What’s the battery life?
About an hour if that. Save your money, this is a personal fan. Doesn't do what they advertise.
I need it for work, Lunch time, its miserable humid inside, no ac .......only a fan to blow warm air only ...... will this thing blow cold if its filled with Ice?
No. It's pretty useless in really hot or humid weather. Or further than about a foot from you. It's really just a fan.
@@FitsandFun ok ty
My wife bought one of these & its presently parked somewhere due to that pre startup ritual
How often do I Have to add water? Or refill de container?
Don't buy one! It's not an AC unit. It's just a fan.
If you keep it plugged in does it run the entire time
Yes. But it's literally just a fan that blows air over a sponge. No ac components.
So on full this only lasts an hour?? with that noise it would drive me nuts
And it's only a fan blowing air over a wet sponge. No AC components. Save your money, I saw something similar at ALDI'S grocery store for 19.99. This has proven to be a scam. I've made some updated reviews showing why.
Is rechargable or can use with battery?
I replied in your other question as well, it's got a built in rechargeable battery. Which makes for a nice fan, but it's not a portable air conditioner. Zero AC components. Only a fan.
It's essentially an evaporative cooler, right?
Yes. A very weak one. Overpriced fan.
I am not expecting much . I have a small RV and the A/C works great but it is very loud. I am planning to run RV a/c to get trailer cool and then turn off and use chillwell while watchingTV so I can hear.
It will not cool a room at all. It will only cool someone if it's pointed directly at them. It is a fan, blowing air over a wet sponge.
Hi, how long does it last fully charged?
I got about an hour with the fan in high and the turbo mode on. But even then it has to be very close to feel cool. On normal high I get almost 2 hours, but it wasn't very effective. It's relaxing, but not cold. More like slightly chilled air.
@@FitsandFun
I just received mine. Like you, it shut off after an hour. Can it run continuously charged? Athough I'm thinking the cartridge would not be as chilled and ice water would need to be refreshed and therefore less effective unless you have back up cartridge on hand. Oh well, live and learn! Still nice to have for a quick cool down during hot summer days and nights.
It's a tiny swamp cooler with led lights lol
Right now the company is offering me 4 units for $250.00 do I have to any get other things like cables or other devices?
Don't buy them. Watch my updated reviews. They do not cool a room. They are personal fans, not AC units.
You know it's a bad product when they spend more time changing light colors than how long it lasts.
Lol. I was definitely more impressed with the lights than I was with the cooling capabilities. It's a nightlight with a fan, not an ac unit.
