Simply perfect
First of all, most of the negative reviews here are incorrect. The device is very simple. Fan, + evaporative element=cool air. If the evaporative element cannot ‘evaporate’ = no cooling. That is 1) if you live in the Midwest or east coast, this device is not for you 2) if you do not ventilate your room, eventually the room will get too humid that the evaporative element cannot evaporate = no cooling. Otherwise if you live in a place with %40-50 humidity it is perfect. Perfect how: on a desk facing towards you cooling only the area around the desk. It cannot cool a room. I see so many reviews with unreasonable expectations. They make it look like there’s something wrong with the product. Which is making me upset because that’s why I didn’t but this sooner (aka last summer).
Working from home with no A/C can be challenging in hot summer days. Fans just move the air around they don’t cool you. This device is perfect for personal cooling. I’ve been using it for 4-5 hours on the lowest setting connected to a power bank with 10000mAh capacity, it has not even used up %20 of the juice yet. Room is around 85F temp, humidity ~%50, feels pretty comfortable.
I can’t say anything about the longevity yet. Fan at the lowest setting is unnoticeable. Anything higher is loud. Loud in a “moving a lot of air through a filter” way. Not like an out of alignment fan making annoying noises. Come on, you cannot expect Dyson quality sound engineering from these guys who probably just made this out of Kickstarter money. It is unreasonable. Unless there is some quality issues with the fan I don’t see this device failing anytime soon because it’s pretty well made. There’s nothing else out there like this. I would buy again as a gift.
