What Customers Are Saying

The product provides mild cooling and increased humidity rather than effectively lowering room temperature. It requires frequent refilling of water and re-freezing of the included ice pack, which some users found inconvenient. While a few customers were satisfied with its performance as a basic fan, the overall consensus is that the product does not live up to its claims as a portable air conditioning unit and is not worth the money for that purpose. It should be considered more as a fan with a cooling mist feature rather than a replacement for a traditional air conditioner.

Great fan!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This oscillating was super easy to set up and came with easy to use instructions. I tested out the settings on this fan without utilizing the cooling feature. The fan blows really strong! I like that it has the option to have the lights on and off. The oscillating feature is nice too as it helps distribute the air. Works great for a fan when sleeping! I also really like that I have the option to set automatic turn off.

Good way to cool off!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooling tower is amazing!! It works really well to cool off bigger areas when you don’t have a/c. It’s a little big but still portable enough to take wherever you wanted. I highly recommend this product!

Max Chill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Similar to another product like this, this did not really work. The fan capability works on it, but it simply is just not a BTU AIR CONDITIONER to keep your room truly cool

GREAT for Texas heat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this cooling fan and all the features. Very sturdy and quiet. Worked amazing in our shop, house and car hauling trailer. Great for the race track!!!!! Love the ice pack that you place in the freezer or cooler for even more coolness. We used ice water from the cooler and it made a huge difference. Fan still works as a fan if you don’t want to add the water. Easy to put together and no tools required. I wish I could give this fan...

Not an a/c replacement but good to help the a/c co

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the middle of the North Carolina summers, our central air conditioner has a hard time keeping up. My son’s room, in particular, tends to get very hot because they have large, sun facing windows. This will definitely help them keep a little cooler in their room. It works quite well and isn’t too large or heavy. It oscillates, which is a nice feature. It’s a bit noisy. Good to enhance your air conditioner or use when you need cooler air but wo...

Good for summer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fan is perfect for cooking my small room!! It is great for the summers!! I am not sure if it would work for bigger rooms. I also believe it is more expensive than I expected.

Fantastic Cooling Solution!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The MAXX CHILL TOWER has been amazing! It provides cool, refreshing air while also filtering for cleaner airflow, making it a great addition to any space. Compared to a traditional box fan in a window, this is a huge upgrade—it’s sleeker, more efficient, and far more effective at circulating cool air. Right out of the box, setup was a breeze. The tower design is modern and compact, so it fits perfectly without taking up too much space. It also...

Cool air blow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great addition to my house. I think this is perfect for the Vegas summer. It is so cool even without the water. I like how modern and easy to use. The air blow is so strong. Highly recommended.

Efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this product, it has to release cold air, with water and a block of ice that is already included, it is very easy to use, it can be put in oscillation, it filters the air that comes out through a filter wash it, very good size, my large room with this feels very cold. It is efficient and durable, has several speeds and automatic shutdown

Efficient, Easy-To-Use Cooler for Small Spaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Maxx Chill Tower is a great cooling solution, especially for dry climates like mine. It’s easy to assemble and use, with efficient touch controls and strong airflow, thanks to its adjustable speed settings, including Turbo mode. It cools and humidifies well, though you need to be near it to fully feel the effect. While it’s not a replacement for an air conditioner, it works well for small spaces. You can use the included ice pack or simply...

Good for small spaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very slim, great for small spaces! Not sure on how good the brand is though but I’m sure it does the job fine for the price! Anything that helps with heat is a win.

Not as effective as I would’ve hoped

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked well, but it did spit water out. I thought it was effective enough, but I don’t know if I necessarily would’ve gotten this supposed to a different kind. I felt like it didn’t necessarily cool you down.

Pays for itself by not using regular ac system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't believe how amazing this fan is. It has a built in cooling system that uses water to help cool. This fan is very energy efficient and will easily pay for itself by not using your regular ac system. The fan is quiet and has high-low-medium fan speeds. The setup is very easy and does not require any tools. The fan has a mist feature as well for very hot days. Works great and I highly recommend it!!!!

Sleek and efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek and efficient. It has heating and cooling capabilities. This is great as I’m a light sleeper and get hot. I can keep this fan on without worrying about too much noise. During the day I use the heat option as it’s been cold and rainy.

Do not waste your money

Would Not Recommend

[Employee of lowes] This is the most inconvenient fan I've ever seen. It is NOT an air conditioner. Here's what I hate about it: - You have to freeze an icepack to cool the water. - You have to refill the water after a couple of hours. - You cannot dump the water because the "drawer" is not removable, so you have water sitting around getting icky when it's not in use. - It leaks and spits; I had to put mine on a boot tray to protect my carpet and floor. - It doesn't cool very well. I've had bett...
