There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This thing has good cooling power when you are close by. It was almost exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't expecting a high powered cooling device, which this is not. It does more than a fan but less than a window unit. There is only one problem. The thing is super loud. On the lowest setting, it can be heard all the way across my side of the office floor. If they could lower the sound output, this thing would be golden. Even if you are at home, the problem is you have to be close to it, so it'll still be loud.
I put it at three stars as amazon is switching this out for me due to the broken piece. I debating between 3 and 4 stars depending on the noise.
Hopefully, I'll be able to update this thing soon. It does alright for a cooler up close, but I haven't been able to test it a ton yet. Usually I wait to test a product more to write a review, but a plastic piece in the front just fell out and I saw the smallest nub where it's suppose to connect. Super cheap plastic. I'm going to plan on keeping this if they send me a new one as I expect there shouldn't be two defected products in a row.
One of the drawbacks is the design of the vents. They are hard to put back in if one pops out while cleaning, especially if more than one pops out. They pop out individually. I managed to get them back in but it was a struggle. I would like to see a more stable, one-piece design that can be popped out and cleaned, the vents remaining where they should stay. The individual vents are a hassle to clean and put back in, one by one.
Update: I still like this unit, however, improvements need to be made to address issue of cleaning fan blades and inside of the unit itself. I personally use filtered water. Using distilled water on a regular basis, personally, is not doable. Having easy access to clean inside of unit, i. e., fan blades, is crucial, thus I am lowering my 5 star to a 3. I did put a small stream of water, as careful as I could get, to hit fan blades to clean them off in the sink. There is a wire attached to blade so I let dry over night and it is working for now. I am sure consumers would be willing to pay a little more if they could easily disassemble parts to clean and pop back in.
Also need to mention the A/C Adaptor that came with this unit. The head gets warm, even if plugged in directly to wall. I do not recommend plugging it into a power strip. I was going to rate a 3 but remembered this problem, thus reduced down to a 2.

In a bedroom/home office that doesn't really have great air conditioning.
The unit is in a perfect spot for pulling air in and has clearance on all sides.
I am a DIY guy who will fix up computers and who has a basic understanding of how cooling systems work.
I dismantled the unit and replaced some parts, so I will not want a replacement and I will not ask for a refund, this is being chalked up as a learning experience, and I hope the manufacturer will take notes from this.
Positives:
Its filter is easy to remove and does a good task of catching large particles of water so you don't get sprayed on. (and contrary to others saying its not cooling down, it says on the side of the unit and on top of the filter to get it wet, and freeze it. "pro" tip, get the filter completely wet, and freeze it, get a regular 16 oz water bottle, fill it up with water, and place it in the fridge for as long as you need, my case in the morning, i wet the filter and fill the bottle, and when i get home from work say six hours later, its fine. the tank will hold the entire capacity of the bottle.)
The lighting can be turned on and off which is nice for when you want to sleep and not have blue light.
Negatives:
The poorly thought out design of the 12 volt 120 mm PC case fan inside the case is not at all efficient, and at the highest setting, it will make bearing whine. I use a headset with microphone, while the mist isn't aimed directly at me, the whine of the fan, can be heard through my headset. my mic does a great job canceling it out, but my ears can pick it up, even in a meeting or listening to music.
The atomizer (the thing that's a small silver disk in the tank that makes the mist) is a good idea on paper, but if you wanted to make it work, you don't have your driver circuit cut voltage to it, either have it on, or have it off. It will just weep out water, plus this is most likely where everyone who is having the leaking issues started.
The power circuit, it simply takes in the 5 volts from the barrel jack (which could have just used micro USB, mini USB type b, or even just had the barrel plug to USB cable), splits it to the led half and the the other half steps it up for the atomizer and fan to 12 volts. (Now that's fantastic, I love the step up circuit being used in low ended electronics, that is tech you wont really find in other products).
Now I said earlier I had taken it apart, I just changed out the fan to a 3 pin 12 volt 120 mm size computer case fan. DOING THIS WILL VOID ANY CHANCE OF RETURNING IT. I knew that the second I took the screws out so I know I can't return it, and I know I will not be now that it is quieter, and has a higher CFM.
In the end, its not a horrible item, it does the job out of the box, but there was some room for improvement, hence why I did those modifications to mine.
If you follow the manual, wash the filter, keep it ventilated, and freeze the filter, you should be fine.
