Awesome personal cooler

was very disappointed when this item arrived. Noted that the box had previously been opened. then when I openedsaw the cord had been undone and then the front panel was damaged.I really needed this product.

First unit I received would not power on. They have sent a replacement unit which seems to be in working order. Received the QR Code and returned the item today, April 30, at Staples.Item was Arctic Chill Air Cooler

This one is powerful and cools

Claimed it to be quiet, however that doesn't sound quiet which was the whole point really in getting this, quiet and cool and small. For an xl I thought it would be a tiny bit bigger. We'll see how well I can sleep with it.

I can buy 6 desk fans for this price. A $15 box fan cools better than this. This is not a cooler. It is a small fan. It sprays mist to humidify. It was so hot in my home I had to remove my shirt. When I much rather wear clothes. I am covered in sweat. Bought this to cool off my workspace when sitting at my desk and bed when sleeping. Useless. I still had to have no shirt. It was still hot. When sleeping I initially had it on a stand blowing above me. Of course because I would get the cooling if under it. But no cooling. I had to lower it to blow directly on me. And it's still hot because it is just a mini-fan that does no cooling. Avoid this product like a plague. Returned.

The product has a mild cooling effect when you are in the direct path - I experienced this turning on and off the "cool" mode. It won't cool your room, but it does at least help a single part of your body.The really bad thing about this product is the fan. It's a basic 2-wire computer fan that's attached inside and speed is varied by voltage change. The fan is the absolute worst noise I have ever heard from a fan, and I could not fall asleep naturally while I could hear the fan.If I had to make this product work for me, I would disassemble it and replace the fan with a computer fan that did not make an absurd amount of noise. Product earned 1 star from me for its actual cooling performance, which did exist but was not revolutionary. I returned this item.

This product is exactly as advertised - I bought it for a gift as friend has heart condition and gets overly warm, she has thanked me over and over as this works so well that she is now comfortable all the time. I recommend this highly - it is small, light weight, can go room to room or stay exactly where you need it most.
