PRONS and CONS
on February 4, 2020

This fan is unique. It has a very "minimal" fee to it and looks great in any room. For power, it plugs into a USB port. I find the best place for it is in a small room or area.
PROS
The unit is easy to set up. There is a water tank in the back that fills up easily and quickly. The water tank takes 3 cups of water is a great feature that cools my room fast. At first, I was worried about putting water into it, but it doesn't leak, and the water cools the room nicely! It is quiet, but on the highest fan speed, it has a big sound. It takes up a bit of real estate on your desk, but it is so lovely and great looking, and "doesn't look like a fan" so in the right place it is beautiful.

CONS
PRICEY. At the time of my review, I felt this was a bit pricey for a fan. I think what you are paying for is how it looks. It is unique and charming, and that is where the value lies. As a fan, it works great.

This thing is awesome for your desk environment! It cools, refreshes and gives a glow for your own little ambiance! But don't count on it for doing anything for the room. Just sit at the desk, work and enjoy..

Just 5 stars

This is a great product and worth the $$. My bedroom runs 3-4 degrees warmer than rest of house and fans were not helping. This is immediate comfort and did just what I wanted-lowered temps a couple degrees plus a light COOL breeze on me so I sleep better.

My son is using it in his dorm room that has no air and it's helping take the humidity out.

Makes a difference

We live in a tiny apartment with my girlfriend, and, you know, this eternal confrontation between those who love it warmer and those who are always hot... Now I'm happy with my small EvaChill and no hassles ;)

good but has its cons

Good product that is easy to carry around and help you work with it at many conditions. There are 2 problems though the temp decrease is focused on a smaller area and also the surface where we place this should be flat and not slanted even a little or water seeps out.

Brilliant cooler
on November 19, 2019
Posted by: Jeff
This little device is only designed to cool the air in your immediate vicinity, about a 3 ft radius, although it feels the coldest if you’re directly in front of it. If you are looking for something that will cool down an entire room, this is not what you want. I am very happy with mine. Using the dial/control panel on top, you can adjust the fan speed, color and brightness of the light (or turn it off entirely), change from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and set it to change color when the reservoir is empty.
It is not noisy although adjusting the fan speed will make the fan sound more, or less audible. It cools the air down by at least 10 degrees directly in front of it. The farther it is from you the less cooling you will feel. I don’t like cold air blowing directly on me for an extended period of time so I set mine about 2 feet away from me and elevate it a bit. This is also a small device; a little cube about 6.5” wide and 6.5” high. It fits nicely on a desktop, nightstand, end table, or shelf.
I have not experienced any leakage issues. This device also has an inner reservoir in addition to the one on the outside, similar to a Keurig. I suspect some of the leakage issues arise from continuous filling of the tank, which can oversaturate the inner reservoir and lead to leaks. Only refill the tank when it’s totally out of water, in both the outer tank and the inner reservoir. You can set the device to change color to let you know this. Even when the outer tank is empty, the device will continue to cool for about 2-3 hours, drawing on the water inside to do this. So wait until the machine lets you know it’s totally empty before refilling. Tipping it to the side or not keeping it on a totally flat surface may also cause leaks.
This can also function as a small fan without any water in it. The one thing I have noticed is that it doesn’t work well as a humidifier so if you are buying it just for that you may want to look elsewhere. The air it creates is cold, and cold air doesn’t hold as much moisture as warmer air. I have a little hygrometer that came with my humidifier and when I set it in front of the device to measure humidity, there was absolutely no change. So if you want more humidity in addition to cooler air, either purchase a different device or use this in conjunction with a humidifier. That said, you don’t want the air to be TOO humid because that will decrease the device’s ability to cool, similar to a “swamp cooler.”
