Customer Reviews for Evapolar 45 sq. ft. evaChill Nano 47 CFM 4-Speed Portable Evaporative Cooler Air Conditioner

I got the unit in less than a week. It looks very nice and doesn't take up too much space on my desk. Our central AC doesn't always work that great in the office and it's nice to have your own powerful cooler especially during the hot summer days. Really cool product.

It was pretty hot here in California and I thought a portable device would be great to take camping.

It will give you comfort with a minukum resources during summer

I like the device a lot! Turns my workspace from hell to heaven. It really works for the purposes it made - portable air cooler for a small space. This unit is not an air conditioner and does not have a compressor or condenser inside. Evaporative coolers are designed for spot cooling and will not lower a room's ambient temperature. This unit is best used in dry climates or open spaces. For the best performance, you need to keep a window or door open to limit the rise of humidity and for better ventilation. Also as an advice add ice to the tank and set the unit near you.

If you need something only to refresh yourself super portable that’s what you need

Works great in my work space

I've watched several video reviews, I've read some articles about Evapolar, I've chosen the model that fits me most. Love it! I didn't buy air coolers of other brands, but it seems to me, that this one should be the best in the cathegory.

I work in a small office with no air circulation (it is in the middle of another room, so now outside windows). I have used fans historically to keep cool, but they blow my papers all around and make work difficult - plus are very loud. This little contraption is way more effective than a fan for keeping me cool, and is much more quiet and does not blow my stuff around. I still need to keep a fan around for when I have others in my office or for actually moving the air around, but this little guy makes working in my office during the summer months WAY more tolerable. Love it!

I was curious if this really did make a difference over a fan. I used a meat thermometer to get a reading of the *room temp, *the fan blowing & *the evapolar blowing. I was fairly surprised to see a 10 degree drop with the evapolar since using my little fan on low felt like it was doing a better job of cooling. I think because it has to go thru an air filter it has less oomph and feels less powerful. The temp reading does show that it is doing its job and I think it's fine up close & personal. For the price, a fan is probably still a better choice for cheap cooling, but the evapolar does add some nice humidity to the room.

I bought this for my girlfriend because she was really concerned about the air quality her little kiddo breathes while sleeping. She was happy.

If you want an easy, cheap, quick and practical air cooler, try Evapolar!

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..

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.

you can put it when you need it, it is very quiet and it works great

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 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.

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.”

I bought it to cool my MacBook Pro which already overheated on me. A known problem. The evapolar is sitting next to it and keeps it Kool!!!! This is a good product to cool a specific area and this is in Thailand with high humidity and ambient at 31.0 C, outputs 26C. I am pleased.

Works well, but wish it came with a wall plug in addition to the USB. I had trouble at first because I used my phone plug which did not allow enough current and the unit did not work correctly. Once I found another plug it worked fine.

I love that it's portable, I take it with me when I'm traveling. It helps me to get to sleep.

Not bad its more for smaller areas not big rooms, if its kept in a small room or closer to you, roughly about 1-2.5 meters would be ideal. Its definetly better than bladed fans, cheaper alterntives to this and air blower fans, would have give 5 stars but i keep it about 3.5- 4 meters away in extremely hot nights its not as effective as i would like and the smart function is pretty handy too.

Small, quiet and IT WORKS! I have a small cubicle workspace that is always sweltering. The Evapolar finally solved the problem so I'm not constantly sweating in my corner. I've tried a lot of other options- fans, misters, wet cloths... Nothing else even slightly as effective.

I power my eva chill with a power bank to refresh myself during my outdoor yoga sessions. Also my dog likes sitting in front of it in the summer

I would highly the concept of personal space. I use one in my office and one next to my bed

The device itself is pretty nice, but the delivery was toooooo long and the package looked like was thrown off a cliff in Sparta, lucky me the device itself wasn't damaged

I think the price was too expensive for such a small source of cool air.

It works great if you want a personal cooling unit to place in front of you or next to you.

Quiet operation with low energy use. Perfect for RV travel in drier climes.
