Perfection for night sweats
By RaisinBran on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022
The evaporative cooling technology is old-school and under the right conditions it works great. This is NOT an air conditioner, so if you are expecting something similar to a window unit or car AC you will be disappointed. It can't cool down a large, hot room. But what it can do, it does really well! Where I live it can get really dry. My husband and I sleep in an upstairs bedroom that is always 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. In the winter if we lower the heater temperature, our daughter gets cold downstairs in her room. In the Sumner if we try to cool off the upstairs with our central AC, it freezes the downstairs. I have vintage windows that won't hold a window unit, and if I open a window at night to sleep, my allergies go crazy. This little cooler has been amazing to both drop the temperature and raise the humidity. Plus, the drier the air, the cooler it gets. Evap coolers dont work well in humid climate at all. I found that out when I lived in Texas. I put a thermometer directly in front of the grill of the EvaChill as it was blowing, and in my 85 degree room with 21% humidity the air coming out was 68 degrees! I put the cooler right next to our bed, on my side, blowing across us... and my husband had to pull up the covers because it was cold. I cannot say enough great things about this little machine. A full reservoir of water lasts about 3 hours in dry conditions. The tank is super easy to fill. It is cute and modern and small and innocuous. The fan is quiet and practically nonexistent compared to my air purifier. The highest setting makes quite a breeze, and the lowest is perfect to just humidify the air. It pumps out way more moisture than my cool mist humidifier. I LOVE not waking up with dry eyes. I keep it next to the bed, but it would be great in a hot office or cubicle, too. I have only had it a few weeks and I use it every night, so I'm hoping it lasts. Its like falling asleep in an ocean breeze. And a treat for anyone who suffers from hot flashes or night sweats. I LOVE EvaChill!

Not much cooling power; defective replacement filters
By Mealena on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2021
UPDATE: lowered my review. The biggest problem is getting a replacement filter. The last 2 filters I received were filthy with brown dust and had to be returned. The filter paper was disintegrating. The manufacturers packing was completely intact and undamaged, so it is definitely the manufacturer's issue. I would return the Evapolar unit if I could but after a few months, I threw out the box, never thinking that getting a replacement filter would be a problem. As this unit uses water to cool the air, the filter will become moldy over time. It cannot be cleaned; it must be replaced. Until such time as the manufacturer addresses this issue and I can obtain a usable replacement filter, I would not recommend purchasing this product. In general, I didn't find that it cools much more than a fan would. I use it in the bedroom because I really like it cold at night. I was hoping I could keep my home a/c temp higher for the rest of the house and have the Evapolar make it a bit cooler in my bedroom. I even fill it with cold water right out of the refrigerator and have it on the nightstand next to the bed. It helps a very little bit. To really make a difference I still have to put on a large fan. As for noise, on the lower settings it is not horrible but on the high settings it is just as noisy as any quality room fan. Much noisier than a good ceiling fan. You pretty much have to have it blowing directly on you as it does not really have the cooling power to really lower the air temperature in a room, even with doors and windows closed. Might be okay for small office or cubicle, but you still need to be able to get replacement filters.
