Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
Something should be done about refrigerators because they vent the heat in the house , Wich is fine in the winter but needs an option to vent during the summer , maybe a simple vent through the roof and some ducting done by the refrigerator manufacturers and a flapper to devert the heat during the winter is called for !
You can't keep a refrigerator cold by directly using hot summer air. You need two stages, one from hot to room temperature and one from room temperature to cold. So the answer is to move your refrigerator to a spot right in front of your air conditioner. In principle, you could design a system with an extra air conditioner (or a liquid-based cooling system) connected directly to the fridge and with a vent to outside, so the two compressors turn on and off at the same time.
I thought so too! But then I clicked on the link to their webpage and it says they have a full 60-day refund guarantee BUT no mention of it being unused or unopened, so I think we can return it if we don't like it
It's a evaporative cooler. It will probably put out air around 10-20 degrees cooler than the air temperature. Old tech in a fancy package. You can also freeze the filter which will make it feel even colder.
@@edwardfrancisslaytonjr.9702 Sure. Problem is, that cool air will leak out as soon as you create it. With normal design, a room is expected to have 5 air changes per hour. The math on this is a little complex, but very roughly, that means you’d need to melt another kilogram of ice every ten minutes or so, to keep your room cool. Where I live, you can buy a 10 pound sack of ice for a few dollars. You’d need a new one of those every hour or so to keep your room cool with this kind of design. So, yes, in principle ice and a fan can cool a room down. Realistically, it would take an unrealistic amount of ice, or an unusually well-sealed and insulated room.
Thanks I ordered mine I need one of these bad boys while I'm gaming and raging LOL gets really hot when I start getting pissed at people in my games lmao. Thank you for the discount link can't wait to get mine ^_*
So basically you don’t get a refund. It has a money back guarantee for 60 days if it’s UNOPENED AND UNUSED. so if you try it and it doesn’t work, you’re screwed. That’s a helluva bargain.
6:38 It says "If this device fails to deliver".. so IF IT FAILS to deliver you can get a refund. Other than that you dont have to worry I tried it myself and I am happy with it, just keep in mind it is a one person AC. Don't expect it to cool your entire house, as for a room, it would cool it down by 15-20 degrees. I am saying all this because I saw a lot of people complaining, I guess they were expecting the same outcome as a real wall-mounted AC..
Lol yeah I thought so too but then I clicked on the link to their official webpage and this is what I read "We Know You’ll Love Your ChillWell AC But in case you’re not satisfied, we are offering you a 60-day money-back guarantee. You can return your package for a refund of your purchase’s price." No mention of unused or unopened
@@geezee1579 It works well, but not that well in places of high humidity. Sure you can use a fan with a wet towel, but a fan replaces the air near an object with air far from the object. If the object is colder than the air, it will cool the nearby air, so the fan will replace that air with hotter air, warming the object. Fans cool people this way when the air temperature is less than body temperature. For high temperatures they cool differently. Your body cools in hot temperatures by the heat absorbed by sweat evaporating. This makes the nearby air more humid, retarding sweat evaporation. A fan will replace the humid air with drier air, making sweat evaporate faster, cooling you. Also, a fan slightly heats the room, the electricity that powers it eventually turns into heat.
Yes, the evaporating water will remove the heat of vaporization from the water in the air and by putting more water into the air, the water in the air will be cooler. However, the humidity will increase and it may feel warmer.
It will add more humidity. We've got the Satan's armpit humidity here in South Carolina also. It pretty much feels good for a small amount of time. Then basically you have a tiny little fan. It works on evaporative cooling principles. So it only cools to the temp of the water used. (That's why they suggest adding ice to the water).
Pretty well I'd say. It's an evaporative cooler, you can add ice cubes on top of it, and you can also put the filter itself in the freezer for a lil bit and it'll blow out cool air
From my experience with this AC so far, the batteries last around 4 hours if you had it on medium-high, and about 2 hours on turbo, but I almost always have it plugged into either my phone or laptop with a C-cable while working Filters replacement not sure but I'd say around 5 months based on previous AC's I used
@@lindapodulka522 Uhh that's not really how I use it, I just put it like 20-40 inches away from me (pointing at me) and let it do its magic lol. So it's more of a personal AC
@@itsgadget5806 i would like to buy one to take it to Bolivia. Power there is 220 amps. Will it be ok to use that type of power to charge the battery or will I need a power transformer?
If it fails to deliver not if it doesn't work.. It makes no sense how to know if it doesn't work unless you open it. So am sure they meant if it fails to deliver to you as in it doesn't come to you. I had no problem with that though I got mine about 5 days after ordering it

I was just thinking about how to get more mold in my working environment by increasing the humidity.
I wouldn't call it useless but it is basically just a tiny swamp cooler that helps only if it is blowing directly onto you.
This is not a review. They are just talking about how to use it.
th-cam.com/video/S2uf8J9Xvj4/w-d-xo.html did a better one for you

Can send back if it don;t deliver but notice it also said has to be unused in same packaging. How do you know it don't work unless you use it?
If it doesn't work you can contact them via email or phone. It's in the link in the description at the bottom of their page where it says "Contact us"

Temps here in central fl are 95 to 105 during the summer
I was hesitant at first until they said " cooling offered on an individualistic basis"... now I'm sold!
Put me down for 20...gold,Jerry,gold!
This would be great if camping in a tent
Thanks for the review!
th-cam.com/video/S2uf8J9Xvj4/w-d-xo.html here is an update
I don't understand if I'm supposed to leave my window open in the hot, humid Florida summer!?!?

It seems this would work better in hot dry climates.
Repackaged and reprised Artic Air evaporative cooler.
Repriced
Cool. I bought one about 2 weeks ago but still learned some stuff from your review, thanks
How well does it work? I have weather that is over 100+ degrees. A 20" commercial fan with a wet towel in front of it is probably more effective.

FINALLY A GOOD REVIEW LOL.. much appreciated!
th-cam.com/video/S2uf8J9Xvj4/w-d-xo.html you will love this one then!
How much do the replacement filters cost?

Cheers buddy :-)
does this portable AC sell at stores or what? 🤔
Sweet video
How can I know if it works if I can only return it unused?
I think I read it somewhere on their website that you can return it but it needs to be working? I am not sure you'll have to check with them
But does it give cold air and how cold is what I want to know ????
It does give cold air yes.
Ya just try to add cold water if possible. Add ice cubes on top. Freeze the filter for a bit.
Does it work with batteries?
No it has a 2000 mAh rechargable battery
