Evapolar evaCHILL Portable Air Conditioners - Portable AC Unit - Small Personal Evaporative Air Cooler & Fan for Desk, Office, Car, Camping, White

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.

An utter waste of money and time. This is nothing more than a tiny fan. Want to know what it's like? Take your hand, and place the back of it a few inches from your mouth. Now blow on your hand. Feel that air? That's about as good as it gets with this thing. Very disappointing. Happily, there are other options you can purchase which actually do something. I normally don't leave reviews, but I hope I can save someone from the aggravation of buying and returning this useless piece of plastic.

I have an upstairs bedroom and it gets pretty warm. I looked at several models and bought this one. I am surprised by how much cool air it actually puts out. I have it next to the bed and it keeps me cool at night. It is not meant to cool the entire room so do not expect it to. The only thing I wish is that they made a larger size to hold more water so I could run longer on the higher settings. It is quiet on the lower settings and a little more noisy on higher settings but, I like white noise anyway. Quality is great and the functionality and performance is excellent. Definitely work the money.

I got this because one of the rooms in my house doesn't get great A/C and sits at 81 degrees making it horrible to sleep in. I live in a humid climate which makes these machines struggle. I knew this going in, and I also knew that this is NOT an air conditioner. A true air conditioner has coolant, a compressor, and heat exhaust. This works by evaporating water, which really needs a dry climate. I coupled this with a small dehumidifier and it definitely helps. This device does indeed output a cool breeze. It is not "cold", but it's definitely chilly and when it's pointed at my bed it does solve the problem. I don't think it cools the room down, maybe 2 or 3 degrees, but in the path of the air flow, its very cool and has made it so much easier to fall asleep. Because I live in a humid climate, I paired this with a small dehumidifier which helps a lot. This unit evaporates water into the air, and the dehumidifier pulls it out. It's not an efficient system, but it's a low-profile method that does fix my problem. My only complaint is this is too expensive. I think $60 would be a very fair price. It's genuinely well designed but it is thin plastic and if you tilt it even a little bit it will spill some water. It's built well on the outside and they definitely thought about the user when designing it. It's very simple and intuitive to use. It's also VERY quiet. You can toggle the air flow strength. It's virtually silent on the lowest setting and pretty loud on the highest setting, but it moves a LOT of air on the highest setting. I can't speak to it's longevity yet. It's made of plastic and I've read other review saying the internals can get fried. I've only had it for 4 days so I don't know. A full tank of water lasts about 6 hours on a medium setting and it will definitely cool you down. I am happy with it so far, but I did go into this knowing that it wasn't going to be blasting cold air. It's a nice cool breeze that, if pointed directly at you, will cool you down pretty well. I just wish it were $30-40 cheaper.

I cannot say enough good things about this. It has saved me in the heat since my ac is down in my apartment. Yes it’s only meant to be directly on you but it will cool you down significantly. Don’t listen to these reviews saying it doesn’t work. It does! 12/10

Var väl vad jag förväntat mig. En fläkt helt enkelt. Möjligtvis något mer svalkande, svårt att säga, men det är inte värt jobbet att fylla på vatten. Har USB-B, vilket är mycket dåligt!

Consegna da parte di Amazon in meno di 24 ore, come sempre perfetti e puntuali. Già conosco i prodotti evapolar, avendo acquistato un EvaLight 5/6 anni fa ancora funzionante. Purtroppo le cartucce di ricambio per quel modello sono introvabili e quelle poche che si trovano sono vendute a prezzi esorbitanti. Così ho deciso di acquistare evaChill, meno accessoriato e più economico del modello che ho ma altrettanto efficiente. Per ora, con una umidità ambientale del 40%, il getto d'aria mandato ha una temperatura sensibilmente più bassa di quella circostante e crea una piacevolissima bolla di fresco intorno a me. Questi dispositivi danno il meglio di se quando l'umidità è più bassa, arrivano ad abbattere la temperatura dell'aria che passa attraverso il filtro anche di 8-9 gradi. Invece, quando si supera il 60% di umidità ambientale rinfrescano meno l'aria emessa dalla ventola, di circa 3-4 gradi al massimo. Sono pienamente soddisfatto del nuovo acquisto e anche se ci sono meno funzioni rispetto al precedente modello non incidono sulla efficienza del prodotto. Ne consiglio l'acquisto per chi non sopporta gli ambienti con aria condizionata ma vuole un prodotto che orientato verso di se mandi un getto di aria fresca. Il rumore della ventola è leggero anche a massima velocità, quindi va bene anche la notte. Con un power bank si può posizionare e portare dove si vuole, oppure con una presa con entrata USB si può direttamente collegare alla rete elettrica. Sconsiglio l'acquisto a chi vive in ambienti molto umidi, in quel caso la resa del prodotto ne risente parecchio.

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

Thank god for this little machine! It uses next to no power, I live off grid and have it on a little portable charger and it works a treat 🙌🏼 it’s brilliant to sleep with and has made it so I finally get a good night sleep with all this hot weather we’ve been having. I 100% recommend it. It won’t cool down a entire room, but it will definitely cool you down wether your sleeping or working at a desk
