Glacier Mini AC Portable Air Conditioner for Small Room- Indoor Personal Air Cooler, Small Cube Air Conditioner and Mini Air Cooler, Cooling Device Water Cooled, Portable AC- Evaporative Cooler for Desk

I live in a house with two 80 year olds who aren't ready for the A/C to be turned on even though June is already starting to heat up in my area of the country. Like most two story houses, the upstairs is always a few degrees warmer than the downstairs. Being the upstairs occupant, it's always a tug of war to get the A/C turned on when I need it turned on. Decided to try to find something get me through the in between stage. This little machine is the perfect solution.It's great as just a fan, lots of air flow even on the lowest setting, but with the filter and a tank full of ice water, it's almost too good. It will not cool the entire room but with it about 2-3 feet away, it's pumping out some refreshing cool air. Yes, the air flow is cut down with the filter in place but on the highest setting, it's more than enough for me.If I had one complaint, and it's a mild one and one that kind of goes with the territory, the water tank will sweat with ice water. That's it. The only complaint. I'm considering getting a couple more for other rooms in the upstairs that tend to heat up in the summer even with the A/C going.Update 6/7/21: Been using this for a little over a week and I'm still amazed at how well it works. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.A few tips:1. Freeze the filter once it's wet. I put it in the freezer overnight and it's ready to go when I need it.2. Get the Amazon Basics square 4.75x4.75 ice packs. They fit perfectly in the water tank and don't make it sweat as much as ice does. There's 4 in the pack I got.As I write this, I've had this unit running for the last 8 hours, have only changed the ice pack once, and it hasn't stopped putting out cold air. And I mean cold - almost air conditioner cold. If I had a way of measuring the temperature, I would. It's 2 or 3 feet away from me and it's almost too cold.

Would NOT RECOMMEND. I bought this gibberish hogwash for my bedroom in attempt to keep cool during the hot summer days. This GIMMICK of an air conditioner should be thrown in the trash! The 2 settings it has are flim and flam! A.k.a. The weakest airflow from any fan in the universe. It DOES NOT cool down the air. You have to put the air filter in the freezer for UP TO AN HOUR before you can use it AND EVEN THEN it STILL DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR. PHOOEY ON THIS CONNIVING SELLER.

Do not expect for this to do anything more than provide cool air directly to your face via the built in fan. It relies strictly on cold water and ice to provide the cooling affect. I bought this when our primary AC dies in the middle of CA 100 degree weather. I needed something cheap and could provide some relief for my dog that I could place in front of his crate when we were away from home. It did its purpose. My spouse has used this while working in the living room on a hot day and it helps as well. But don’t expect it to do anything more than that. It’s a simple design and is overpriced for what you actually get.

Currently writing this while the unit is going on next to me at my desk. Its pretty hot inside, in the 80s I'd say. The unit is designed well and it looks pretty cool. The cooling itself isn't anything game changing, but putting it at my desk the air it blows is definitely "an ok bit" cooler then the house. It's definitely better then having a fan blowing into my eyes from this distance.One big con I'd say is you can't angle the blades upward, and I need to get a few book under it for it to reach my face. Unit doesn't seem terribly durable. I'll probably be gentle with it.

It works great! Keep in mind it is not like an air conditioner in your house. It is portable and needs to be close to you.it is like a swamp cooler. I put ice with a bit of water in it. The air blew out cold when I put my hand and face next to it. If you are counting on it to cool a small room don’t get it. But in an area where you are unable to have ac and you are sitting right next to it, it is relieving to have cool air blowing on you. I had this and a mini usb fan and I slept very well on a few very hot nights during a recent heat wave. One thing though, be careful when moving it it as the water spills out very easily when tilted even slightly. Note worthy: I pull the filter out after each use to dry it out, to prevent mold from growing as mold loves dark damp enclosed conditions. Overall it’s a great little unit and I would highly recommend it.

Unit is a small swamp cooler unfortunately too small to be effective for any area would need to be at least double in size to be effective. Fan speed would also need to be increased by at least twice.

This is just a very low powered swamp cooler. They use these in Arizona for houses, only bigger. This thing is basically a low powered fan that blows mildly cooler air at you. A regular fan, that can blow harder would be better. This thing makes no difference in cooling, as I suspext most other mini coolers do. Gave it a chance based on the . I am thinking now, faked reviews. It is not worth the money. Even filled it with ice. No difference at all. Dont buy.

This is the fourth "personal cooler" that I've tried, and this one works the best of the four. I think most of the negative reviews come from people who expect it to perform like an actual air conditioner. It is not, it is a small swamp cooler and does a good job for a small area, but won't cool down an entire room.I have it sitting on my desk in my office and it works great.A swamp cooler works by evaporating water, which cools the airs. For a swamp cooler to work well, the "cooling pad" or "filter" needs to be saturated by water. The air needs to pass through the filter, which evaporates the water, and cools the air. This filter does a great job at soaking up the water, while still allowing air to flow through it. Other personal coolers that I've used have filters with large spaces between them. They have done very little cooling.
