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.”
It's important to keep in mind it works best in dry climates, and I fortunately live in one. It cools nicely, although it's important to also keep in mind that you can't change it to the temp. you want, you just have it cool you at the temp. it works at in your climate. My biggest issue with it is the could-be-greatly-improved water tank, which, while holding enough water to last a couple hours, seems to never hold enough. I feel like more could have been done to design a nice looking, yet larger water tank to make it feel less needy of a product, while maintaining it's aesthetics.
Overall, it's a nice little cube, and I'm well enough pleased with it.
Almost never write reviews but this device deserves more than just 5 stars. It's awesome for the things it was designed for - cooling down a single person. Not the entire room, guys, it's a PERSONAL air conditioner. No more fights with my gf about whether it's too hot to turn on a wall ac.
My experience with Evapolar: have been using the device for the last couple of weeks, cools the air down to about 68 F during hot summer days in Philly. Leaked 2 times until I figured out it's better not to refill the tank until the device alarms you that it's time. Hope they continue working on the device, there's much to improve. Overall, I'm quite happy.
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..
It's a very good product, it do everything it says, I recommend to buy it

Pluses: it humidifies air in small spaces very well (the effect is not as good in large areas like living rooms though). I mostly use it in my bedroom during nighttime (instead of my supernoisy AC) and noticed that I stopped waking up every morning with a stuffy nose! It's a total game changer for people with nasal congestion problems! Highly recommend!
Also, love the cute design and size: it's relatively small (perfect size for an office/computer desk).
Minuses: price (a bit expensive) and water needs to be filled quite often (once every 3-4 hours).
This product is exactly what I was looking for. I took a bit of a chance because the reviews were not fantastic, but I am incredibly happy with my purchase. It is the ideal small humidifier/fan/purifier. While it is small and quiet, it has a big effect. I use it every day and love it. It would be nice if the tank was slightly bigger, but I do not believe that would even be possible while keeping the compact desktop design.
Worked good.
Looking forward to next Smart Personal Air Cooler from Evapolar!
Nice unit for a small space.
