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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just received this today, and after spending some time setting it up and trying it out, I’m genuinely impressed with my purchase. The unit arrived well packaged, and everything was in perfect condition. It has a modern, compact design that doesn’t take up much space, and it looks great on my desk. Setup was incredibly simple. I filled the water tank, connected it to a USB power source, and it was ready to use within a couple of minutes. One of the first things I noticed was the soft sky-blue light. It gives off a very calming and soothing glow without being too bright, making it a nice addition to my workspace and something that would also be relaxing to use at night. The noise level is another big plus. Even while it’s running, it’s very quiet, so it doesn’t interrupt work, studying, reading, or watching videos. It creates a gentle background sound that’s actually quite pleasant rather than distracting. For a personal air cooler, the airflow is surprisingly good. Sitting nearby, I could immediately feel a cool, refreshing breeze. It’s clear that this is designed to cool your personal space instead of an entire room, and for that purpose, it does a great job. I can see it being especially useful on a desk, bedside table, or while camping or traveling. I also appreciate how lightweight and portable it is. The built-in handle makes it easy to carry from room to room, and the USB power option means it can be used with a laptop, power bank, or in the car, which makes it very convenient. Overall, my first impression is extremely positive. It’s compact, quiet, easy to use, has a relaxing sky-blue light, and provides a comfortable amount of airflow for personal cooling. Looking forward to using it throughout the summer. So far, I think it’s a great value for the price and exactly what I was looking for.

Going to return this immediately, and I had pretty low expectations to start with. I'm kinda small/ skinny, so I get cold easily. I didn't want to get a full-blown AC unit, so i opted for this instead but frankly, I have a tiny $8 usb fan that does more than this does... I wasn't expecting it to get the room cold, or even cool down an entire room, but I live a literal micro apartment and it did basically nothing. The reviews that say you have to sit in front of it directly to feel anything are 100% correct. If you are more than a few feet away or a few feet to the side, this thing is honestly useless. For the price, I expected it to work at least a little better. Also, yeah, be careful moving it after putting the water into it because it will leak everywhere. On the max setting, water only lasts about 3-5 hours and lemme tell ya, anything other than max setting is pointless.

It is a small personal air cooler, and that is exactly how it performs. From close range, the air feels cooler and it helps me stop feeling overheated at my desk. Across the room, you will barely notice it. For me, that is fine because I bought it for personal use.

This little thing performed surprisingly well for how simple it is and being evaporative. I used it on a music tour in Europe on a tour bus which had malfunctioning main AC. This thing helped keep me cool in my bunk all summer and I continue to use it in my home office. Fun and portable because it can also run on a usb battery pack/powerbank.

I bought this product back in 2019 because I needed a small AC to keep my room cool during the summer. It gets dry and inexplicably hot here in SoCal, and I thought this would help. The Eva-Chill was marketed as an AC when I bought it, but it's actually more of a personal swamp cooler. At the time of purchasing the Eva-Chill it was around $99 and was the only personal cooler/AC on Amazon. After four years, I'm still pleasantly surprised that the EvaChill is still functioning well. I'll start with the pros of this product: - Easy to use; pour cool water in the tank and from my experience it will run continuously for about 5 hours if set on high; I've also gotten away with putting crushed/slushed ice in the tank - The filter is easy to replace, and it purifies the air that blows out from it - It's portable and compact and it doesn't take too much space on my desk - Comes with a little funnel to make sure that water goes directly into the tank and avoids spills - Relatively quiet fan noise - It cools down my room by 5 to 7 degrees Now the cons: - It must be plugged in at all times - It comes with a USB-C cable but a plug must be purchased separately - The filter is expensive and is priced at $29.99 here on Amazon - The Blue Light is feature is nice, but I don't find a lot of practical use for it - The vents one my model can only be angled to go up or down; In the newer ads it states that they vents can "rotate", so I don't know if they changed this feature - Some parts of the Eva-Chill feel delicate, its mostly made of plastic but personally, I would not travel outside with this product Overall, if you're looking for a personal cooler that can be carried around the house --then yes, the Eva-Chill will meet your needs. I've owned it for a while now and I have not run into any major issues or malfunctions. For me, it works perfectly well in my computer office and it keeps me cool during the hottest months of the year. Is the Eva-Chill still worth it in 2023? I'd say if you're buying it at its discount price then you're not making a bad purchase. However, in the last couple years I've seen a lot of similar products come out that are more affordable and use similar technology. I'd say for $99 you're better off saving and investing in a real portable AC. *Update: Ironically, after a week since posting my review my unit finally broke down. I suspect it was due to an electrical/ voltage issue. The charging port was running hot and my EvaChill has been struggling to have consistent power run through the device ever since. I tried using different cables and I let my unit dry overnight just in case moisture got into the power supply. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. Every cable that I used was running extremely hot, to the point that the plastic around the USB port was melting and I could smell a faint burning smell coming from my EvaChill. I'm no electrician but that seems pretty dangerous to me. I've decided that I'm no longer going to use the device anymore. Out of curiosities sake, I decided to take the EvaChill a part and see what went wrong. I've provided photos of what's underneath the hood. As I suspected the electrical components were unfortunately damaged. It looks like the valves that run water to the filter were leaking and moisture got onto the circuit board. The wires that power the whole device have coroded, which explains a lot. Although I've had my EvaChill for such a long time, I've chosen not to replace it. It's a shame, despite its problems I generally liked this device. However, because of the price and its design flaws I don't think it's worth the repurchase for this model or any of the other Evapolar devices.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this performed in warm conditions. It runs quietly, is simple to use, and is easy to carry from place to place. The airflow feels refreshing, and the water tank provides a decent runtime. It's a practical option for adding extra comfort without taking up much space.

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!

I am very disappointed with this product. It was not cheap, and I expected it to last much longer than a few days. When I first received it, it worked very well. It was nice, cool, and performed exactly as expected. However, after only 4 days of use, the power stopped working and the fans completely stopped working as well. The product is now unusable. I have tried turning it on again, but there is no power and the fans do not run anymore. Considering how quickly it failed, I believe the item is defective. I would like a replacement or a full refund. This is very disappointing because it was working perfectly at first and then suddenly stopped working after only a few days.

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.

The hot days have started here in Spain, and since I work remotely from my home office, it was very important for me to keep my workspace comfortable. I found this device and was really curious to see what it could do. I ordered it, and it was delivered to my home about a week later. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I filled the system with water and tested several different modes. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The device does exactly what I expected it to do. I set the airflow to maximum, and it provides a pleasant stream of cool air. It is not extremely cold, but it is more than enough to help me work comfortably at my desk. I would definitely recommend it, especially to anyone who works remotely.
