   So everything about this is great for WHAT IT IS supposed to do/be. A lot of people who bought this don’t understand that it’s not an air conditioner with freon, it’s an evaporative cooler. This means, it has a limited output and will NOT work where there is humidity. If you live somewhere it is humid in the summer this is not a good choice for you. Evaporative coolers MUST be used in a dry climate. That being said, if you live out west in a dry climate like myself (Vegas!) this thing is great! It was the hottest summer on record in Vegas and this made my personal space in my home office tolerable. Even with ac on all of my rooms were not amazing. When I have this set up the way it’s meant to be used (as a personal cooler for 1 person) it’s a life saver. Point it directly at you on your desk during work and I also point it at me when sleeping. I even brought it to the desert beach at rocky point mexico and it works there. But it is definitely a personal cooler it won’t do much to a full large room, but you’d be shocked how having this thing in your immediate area will make your summer much easier. I love that it’s portable and I can move it room to room. It’s cute and seems to be fairly durable. I love it for its personal function and I think it works extremely well. If you are trying to use it in a different way you’ll see it differently because you’re not using it for what it’s meant for.

   Have to replenish the water too quickly, and isn’t as strong as I would have hoped.
   Don’t think the price is worth it. Maybe 40-50 euros but not 85euros

   I recently ended up with a $900 electric bill thanks to a week of 110 degree days in sunny California, so I decided to look into some alternatives to running central air all day. This little guy seemed to be the most well-reviewed out of all the options for portable air conditioners even though it still had an overall 3.6 rating, but I decided to give it a try.

   Having tested it out, I gotta say it actually works better than expected and I think some of the negative reviews have had issues for easily avoidable reasons.

   1) This is not made to cool an entire room. That’s not the point of it. This is for someone who wants to cool down their bed while they’re sleeping or set it on their desk to cool down while they’re working or maybe place in a corner of the kitchen while cooking. Basically, it’s for when you’re spending a lot of time in roughly the same spot and don’t necessarily need to cool down your entire house.

   2) it doesn’t work wonders for the first 20 minutes or so. The water needs to soak through the filter cartridge because the water evaporating in a (ideally) dry climate is the science behind cooling the air. Until that happens it’s basically just a little box fan. I get the impression some reviewers tested it out for 5 minutes, concluded it doesn’t work, and wrote their review. Give it at least 20 minutes and you should definitely notice that it’s pushing out air a good 8-10ish degrees cooler than the room temp is.

   3) because this relies on water evaporating, it works better in drier climates. If you’re in California, Arizona, New Mexico, etc this will work great. If you’re in a humid place like Florida, you should frankly leave.

   4) Based on what some have mentioned in terms of its air pushing capabilities, it seems like they maybe don’t realize there are multiple settings. At its lowest setting I would say they’re right: you basically need to have it within 12 inches of you to even notice it’s on. However it has 4 settings that you cycle through by pushing the button on top (and there are no other buttons, it’s pretty fool-proof). I think the 2nd setting is probably what most people would use while sitting it on their desk or beside their bed (higher settings might actually make you cold at that proximity). At its highest setting it’s a bit noisy (like a PC fan at full speed), but I think it would actually be sufficient to cool a *small* bedroom at that level. If you have something like a 10×10 space or smaller and you don’t have high ceilings, this might actually work for cooling the entire room at its highest setting. In a larger space, however, just remember this is made to cool you down while having it a few feet from you, not on the opposite end of where ever you are. I just did a little test and you can feel a cool breeze from 8 feet away at its highest setting. Beyond that you probably won’t notice much effect.

   Also, I didn’t notice this when I bought it, but it plugs in using a USB cord so you can power it with your computer or plug it into a power bank and take it on the go. It also only uses 7.5 watts which is literally 3,492.5 watts fewer than the average Central air system. That’s not a joke or a typo. On a related note, I’ve seen some claim the price ($79 as of writing) is a bit steep, but consider that for anyone who works from home or stays in the same area for large parts of the day, this will allow you to kick the thermostat up a few degrees without sweating through your shirt, and then you’ll save pretty substantially on each electric bill. It can pay for itself in one billing cycle if you let it, and after that it’s actually costing you money not to have one.

   Overall, I’m perfectly satisfied with this purchase and it actually performs better than reviews had led me to believe. Just remember it’s made to cool a roughly 10×10 area or smaller, not your entire estate. If you’re ok with that, you’ll love it.

   The media could not be loaded.

   This air cooler has been a game-changer for my personal cooling needs. It’s got this sleek, modern look that fits perfectly on my desk, nightstand, or even on the couch. It’s super lightweight, so moving it around is simple. I love how easy it is to use—just fill up the water tank, plug it in, and hit the power button. Within minutes, you can really feel the difference as it cools the air surprisingly quickly. Plus, it’s energy-efficient, using only 7.5W, which means it’s not going to jack up my electric bill.

   What really makes the evaCHILL stand out is its versatility. I’ve used it in my bedroom, my home office, and even took it along on a camping trip. The built-in handle is a nice touch for portability. The evaBREEZE technology keeps the air moist and comfy, so no more dry, irritating air like with other AC units. If you’re looking for a stylish, efficient, and easy-to-use air cooler, I can’t recommend the Evapolar evaCHILL enough. It’s definitely worth every penny.

   Solo llenas el depósito y conectas una power bank o directo al cargador de tu celular y empieza a enfriar al momento. Realmente enfría y eso solo usando la primer velocidad de 3 que tiene . El diseño muy minimalista y su luz hace que se vea bien en cualquier parte de la casa. Pros : fácil de usar .. pequeño para fácil transporte . No hace ruido.
   Mínimo consumo de energía.
   Contras : ninguno

   I really dont write reviews so sorry if this is poorly written but this cooler has made my gaming room bearable in arizona summer. Remember its not a whole room a/c so i have it blasting on my right side and i have to keep it down on medium so i dont get too cold. The cooling power is surprisingly strong and has made my pc room actually bearable in 110 degree arizona weather. Its a simple plugin installation and you just have to top it off with water about every 2 hours or so if running constantly. Tap water has worked perfectly fine in it so no worries about that. The only issues i would have is it is relatively loud not much more than you would expect but it is picked up in my mic on occasion. The water storage has leaked im not sure if it was a design flaw or if i had managed to tip it somehow but i keep a towel under it just in case. 100 dollars is scary to drop on small things on amazon but this is actually legitimate and ive been pleased with its functionality. Keep in mind, there are filters you will have to buy appx every 3-4 months and they cost about 40 bucks so unfortunately it is not a one and done type of thing but i will be willing to pay that for this products utility.

   > I’ve been using this for over a month. It is a personal cooler designed to cool a small area. Please note that this device is not intended to cool an entire room, not even a small one.
   > You can cycle through four fan speeds. Fan speeds 1 and 2 are quiet, while speeds 3 and 4 produce an audible humming sound.
   > This cooler also has a light which can be turned off. I just leave it off all the time.. I wish there was a way to dim the light.
   > Humidity level of my room on an average stays between 25%-35%. Humidity level of my room rises to upto 45% if I keep the door closed.
   > Water tank can hold enough water to last 6-7 hours. No way to put ice cubes into it. I just fill it with ice cold water. Funnel is provided..
   > Comes with a meter long usb cable with a power adapter.

   Overall, I like it… don’t regret buying it..
