It's ok if you're like 3-4 feet away from it farther than that you won't feel anything other than the loud fan noise. I have a very small studio type room and was expecting to cool the room a little bit, I mean with this price you should expect something right?

Does what it must

I got my device a while ago and so far I have to say I am happy with Evapolar. I've seen some reviews that it is not cooling down a room or something, but if you read the description it's pretty obvious that this is a personal gadget that works withing a limited radius and it works best in dry climates like Colorado / California / Arizona / Nevada etc... Florida or Indiana - probably not so well. Make sure you read this before you buy it, and use Evapolar according to instructions, and I it will meet your expectations! The only thing that could be better would be a quieter fan, so that Evapolar is close to being silent. However, my overall experience is positive and I would definitely recommend this device, especially once they release v2.

I would be happy if it could provide more powerful cooling. Well, at least it looks cute and generates a pleasant light breeze

Works pretty well

I work in a studio with several computers right next to my chair. They give off quite a bit of heat! I've tried a couple of personal fans that work fairly well, but this Evapolar evaCHILL Personal Evaporative Air Cooler and Humidifier Portable Air Conditioner Fan works much better than the fans. I had never heard of a "swamp cooler" before, but that is what the evaCHILL is based on - it is a concept that Benjamin Franklin came up with and the theory has been proven to work.
By putting water in a reservoir that is soaked up into a paper filter and the air is blown through the filter and as it evaporates, it cools the air and you end up with a cooling effect in addition to the air blowing over you and cooling you off. It is pretty typical to be able to cool down to 72 degrees with this method.
I haven't put a temp gauge on the output yet, but holding my hand up next to the regular fan and this evaporative fan, you can feel the much colder air coming from the evaCHILL. It truly works!
So, the pros and cons...
The main pro is that it works. I am MUCH cooler with the evaCHILL sitting next to me.
The cons are the price, that you have to fill it regularly, which is not always easy or convenient. Filling it with water isn't terribly difficult, but it is inconvenient to have to refill the water regularly. It hold 800 ml of water, which is a fair amount. Over 24 ounces.
Also, it came with a TON of dust on the filter, probably paper dust from the filter itself. Once it soaks up the water, that is pretty much no longer a problem.
And it gets a little noisy at higher fan speeds. Someone said that it didn't blow very hard, and I had to wonder if they were using it right? If you press the button several times, it will actually get pretty high speed and blow the air pretty fast.
This isn't perfect, but it works and really cools your personal space down - especially if you have a computer near you that is heating your space. I would recommend it pretty solidly to someone who needs to cool their space down aggressively - other than the price. There are some others out there that are cheaper with good ratings, so you might look at them. But if you want a personal space air cooler that definitely works - this is a winner! I have several co-workers ordering the same thing because it works so well for me and they want that same cooling at their desk as well.
I hope you find this to be a helpful review. If there is anything more you would like to know, please ask. I try to check my reviews for comments and respond to them right away. If you ask something and I don't get back quickly, please check my profile page and email me and I will try to respond as soon as I see it. I think it is important for fellow shoppers on Amazon to look out for one another by letting each other know if a product is good, or if it is a stinker. I take reviewing very seriously and try to be helpful. Thank you!

Will freeze you out if you want it to

I travel a lot in my Airstream and it only has one AC. I needed something to help me sleep during warm nights while boondocking or to supplement the AC unit. I also needed it to be a low current draw for solar. Upon my search, Evapolar filled all my needs.

I was looking for a humidifier. And as I live in Taxes, I liked that it can cool the air as well.
