Arctic Air Chill Zone XL Evaporative Cooler with Oscillating Fan, Auto-Off Timer, Portable Fan with 4 Adjustable Speeds, 16-Hour Cooling Fan for Bedroom, Living Room, Office & More,White

I live with my 72yr old brother who is always cold. He keeps the thermostat on 80 sometimes 85 and I never stop sweating but, this little thing works great and keeps me cool at night when I sleep.

This thing is an abomination. The fan in it is a four inch computer fan. They expect you to believe by freezing this weird looking filter it’ll cool you down. It does NOTHING!!! It has water jets that stopped working for me after 2 days. When they did work, I had to fill it up every hour. It’s loud. It’s way too expensive for what little it does. This is one of the silliest gimmicks I’ve seen in a while. DO NOT BUY!!!!

I purchased the XL model. It lowers the temperature by about 5 degrees but it's only in the immediate area. With that said, it functions well to provide extra humidity in my 15x10 bedroom.It does cool your space for 16 hours. It automatically shuts off after 16 hours. If it isn't on turbo it's useless, and I get 4 hours of use before having to refill it. You can probably get 6 hours running it on low, but again, it doesn't really do anything if it isn't on turbo with the maximum humidity setting.Overall, limited applications but it definitely works within the confines of what I've described.Specific to Amazon:I bought it "like new" for $30, but it was clearly well-used. The turbo jets were clogged and I wasn't excited about figuring out how to unclog them just to use it. Not a huge deal, but buyer beware with just about anything on Amazon. A q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol will fix it, which I need to do every couple weeks after extended use.

I have been dealing with hot flashes and this air conditioner has really helped cool by bedroom off. I would definitely suggest this product to anyone.

The first iteration of this product was amazing. This "New" XL version is an abomination intentionally designed to break the moment any water manages to spill out of the water basin. The electronics are installed near the opening of the water basin, and the only way to fill the basin is to pour water down a poorly designed opening 6 inches from the top, through a slit about as wide as an inch. But if your hand twitches and you miss even a splash of water down this single access point. The electronics fry and the water vaporizer stops working.Absolutely do not be fooled by this cheap gimmick.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It seemed like it was large enough to cool a small bedroom. It was not powerful enough to cool an 8x10 bedroom.

Update after 2 weeks: After being sparingly used for 2 weeks, one of the three micro fans stopped working, and returning to get a new one.The cooling impact is good. It sounds a bit more than other products I have, but that's not a big deal. My other unit does not have oscillation, and that is a big plus for this product. I just used it in my office instead of AC for the entire floor. It has Good Cooling effects and saves money from running AC for the entire floor.Handle to carry around for this light unit would make the product complete. Surprised to see no easy way to carry this everywhere. That is a shame on the designer.Otherwise, all good ( at least for now ). It is better to go with 2 year warranty when you buy.Enjoy and beat the summer!!

excellent cools well
