Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 Evaporative Air Cooler by Ontel - Powerful, Quiet, Lightweight and Portable Space Cooler with Hydro-Chill Technology For Bedroom, Office, Living Room & More,Blue

Comparing the negative reviews to the positive reviews to my own experience, it's pretty clear that most of the people giving this thing a bad review didn't realize what they were actually buying. This will NOT air condition your entire house. It's basically just a small fan that blows colder air than a regular fan at you. Like regular fans, that means will not cool off your entire house or apartment, but it will keep the area in front of it cool. And it's amazing! We put it on the ottoman in front of the couch while watching tv, and having a regular floor fan behind us with this thing in front was way cooling, much better than the fan by itself. It's not going to replace an actual air conditioner on a super hot day, but it's got just enough cooling power to be really helpful if you can't use an a/c (maybe because you live in an apartment and technically aren't allowed to have one, or you can't afford to buy one because yiiiiikes they're expensive). But it's really helpful for if a fan just isn't enough to cool you down. Also because of its small size, I find I prefer using it to fans when it's a little cooler out. Sometimes fans are obnoxious, they're loud, they blow things over, but this little thing doesn't have the blowing power to knock all your papers off your desk like a big floor fan does. I like to just have it on the ottoman blowing on my propped-up feet. It's supreme. I see some people complaining about how you can't turn the lights off, but you can. You need to keep hitting the light button, you have to cycle through all the light options but there's an "off" option at the end of them. The lights that indicate what settings are on don't turn off, but they're really minor - like, they aren't really bright. I especially like that this thing is small enough that it won't be hard to store somewhere in winter when it presumably won't be needed, unlike those big oscillating fans which are awkward to find a place for. Cons: On the highest settings it's kind of noisy, but it's a steady noise level so it's easy to learn to tune out and turn the tv volume up over. Also the plug for it gets EXTREMELY hot after it's been on. I don't think it's necessarily a fire hazard, but I would give it a few minutes after you turn it off before you unplug it from the wall. All in all, if you know what to expect from this little guy, you will really enjoy it and appreciate it. Don't go into this thinking it's a $35 air conditioner that will put your entire home into the arctic circle. It will give a nice cold blast to the area about 6 feet in front of it, which cools more efficiently than a fan but isn't as effective as an actual air conditioner. This guy is an air *cooler*. Side note: You're encouraged to put ice cubes in the fill thing, and it can take an entire tray of ice cubes to fill it up! Edit: One year later and it's still great and I am still genuinely baffled by all the negatives. This thing got me through some nearly 100 degree days. It does NOT leak if you use it correctly other than some condensation drips, which iirc it does mention can happen. I really truly do not understand the bad reviews, like people were expecting this thing that's smaller than a CD player to cool their entire homes all day by itself??

Less than 24 hours after the first unit failed the second of 4 units I purchased failed. This is after less than 60 days use. When I contacted Amazon about the first unit they said they would email instructions for return within 3-4 hours. It has been over 2 days and I have not received anything. Returning a defect item after the normal return period is a not easy. You cannot contact directly a solution. You have to repeat 30 minutes of AI devised shields to discourage you from returning an item. With the second unit failing 50% of the units I purchased failed between 30 & 60 days after purchase. I purchased 4 of these at the end of April and placed them in service the beginning of May. One of the units failed the end of June. The unit no longer powers on and the power supply is shot. I tried the unit with a working power supply from another unit and it would not work. The card shipped with the unit said DO NOT RETURN TO STORE and had instructions to contact PureChill. I tried to email them but the email immediately bounced back .. a bad sign. I called PureChill and a long story short they said since I purchased it on Amazon I was SOL but could try calling Amazon. I searched the box and included materials and no where is there any warranty information. I suppose this means there is no warranty on the product at all. After 10 minutes of digging through Amazon and going around the "outside return date" I got on live chat with a real rep. who offered a refund and the details would be sent in an email with instructions. Thank you Amazon for providing some relief. It is obvious this product was designed for a quick buck for the manufacturer. After 60 days I have a 25% chance of product failure. The 4 units do not operate at the same efficiency. If I started them all at the same time with the same amount of water and the same settings, they drained the water differently. One unit drained to empty while the others took 2-3 hours more to empty. The longer draining units did not cool as well. I cannot recommend this product based on my experience.

I would rate it higher, but the power cord it came with doesn't really work with it. I thought it broke, but it was actually the power cord that stopped working. I ordered a different one and tried using the same cord and it didn't work either. That's when I realized the power cord had crapped out, not the unit itself. So now I have to return the other one I bought and get a better power cord for it. I like it because it does what it's meant to do though. I have it on the table next to my bed for when I sleep. I need it pretty cold to sleep comfortably, because I over heat easily when I sleep. My dog usually gets out of bed because she gets too hot too, but now with this she stays in bed with me most of the night so I feel like my dog likes it too. I like the night light option, it looks cool and it's not too bright to sleep with, but it's bright enough to see by when you wake up in the night. I also feel like it acts as a humidifier because I notice that the humidity in my reptile enclosures don't drop as much at night any more and I know that's probably good for all my plants too. If you're expecting it to significantly cool a room it won't do that, but it drops the room temp by a couple degrees after it's been on a while, but when you've got it pointed directly at you it will definitely cool you off.

Es una hibrido de ventilador con humidificador, fuciona bastante bien. refresca y humedece una habitación de 6 x 4 m sin mayor porblema. Por supuesto que no es un clima artificial. Nadie lo esperaria con ese precio

Vraiment.géniale, fonctionne très bien air fraîche ,surprenante pour ca grosseur. Dirigé sur nous elle fait l’affaire très bien , un ti peu bruiante mais tolérable facilement

Es práctico, agradable a la vista, el único pero es que dirá poco tiempo el aire un tanto frío.

Change absolument rien!

-CECI N'EST PAS UN AIR CLIMATISÉ ET N'EST PAS CONÇU POUR RAFRAICHIR TOUTE UNE PIÈCE Pure Chill 2.0 ne ment pas. L'air est beaucoup plus frais comparé aux anciens modèles qui utilisaient 1 lentille tandis que le 2.0 possède 2 lentilles! Le reservoir d'eau contient beaucoup plus et conçu pour pouvoir y ajouter des cubes de glaces, ce qui aide grandement a garder l'eau plus froide plus longtemps. Plusieurs vitesses reglables, un peu trop bruyant en vitesse maximum par contre. La lumière a cessé de fonctionner car j'ai renversé un peu d'eau sur la surface et un peu d'eau a coulé sur les circuits. Je suis assez satisfaits malgré le fait que je dois faire très attention aux éclaboussures d'eau sur la surface qui selon moi n'est pas assez étanche. Plus facile a nettoyer. Un peu trop cher personellement mais assez satisfait globalement. Le Pure Chill 2.0 est selon moi le plus efficace à ce jour malgré quelques défauts qui pourraient être corrigés.
