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.

Better than nothing at all.

Would Not Recommend

Not bad for the money. I liked how easy it was to use and put together. Although i wish the cold air stayed cold all night. I used it in a small guest room and i woke up very warm in the late night hours.

Convenient

Would Not Recommend

It was more like a overpriced fan. Having to freeze the cold back, soak and freeze the filter and add cold water to it just to get a few hours of cold air was a bit much. The only way you could feel the cold air was if you were sitting right next to it. It didn’t really cool a room. I had to have two other fans running, a door and windows open also just so it could be bearable. I wouldn’t recommend buying if your ac goes out. Its more for a person that has hot flashes. It does what it’s supposed...

A fan. With water. Unimpressed

Would Not Recommend

It spits water like a mister. Nothing mystical or magical to make the water feel cold. Sure if you put extra cold water in it. But save your money and get something cheaper online.

HORRIBLE- DONT BUY

Would Not Recommend

Literally broke within 2 weeks. Won't turn on. Worked well for literally one night then never felt cool again. It's just a misting fan. Not to mention it leaks all over the floor. If you want it just steal it because it is not worth a single dollar.

Finally!!!

Would Recommend

It does work! Got this for my sister who suffer from COPD and hot flashes. She has this in a corner about 5ft from her.. it helps her sleep cooler now at nights and gives her refreshing air. Now it saves me money as she doesn't have to have her ceiling fans and two other smaller fans running Al day (even with our new AC/duct work)! So much better. Going to get me one for my office cube

Maxx Cool Tower

It's $100.00 fan with a mister - junk does not cool at all thought it would be more of a swamp cooler, and water would be like a waterfall across filter no it mist. It was a big waste of money.

It wasn't suited to an extremely hot sunroom.

Would Not Recommend

Nice set-up and easy to use. However our small sunroom was too hot and this A/C unit steamed up the entire room. So we donated it to New Digs Ministry to find it a new home.

It doesn't do what it says it's going to do

Would Not Recommend

Didn't like the fact it sprays water everywhere and didn't do it's job it never got real cold it blows like it's a box or stand up fan the money I spent a hundred dollars I probably could invest in a couple more stand up fans they work real good my stand up fans blow colder I'm going to return it back to the store Lowe's that is

Don't waste your money!

Would Not Recommend

The Artic Air fan doesn't blow much air. The option to have mist isn't much help either. You have to sit directly in front and close to feel anything. Without the mist option, it's mostly blowing warm air. A waste of $100.

It works but not for long.

Would Not Recommend

Item worked very well for about 3 weeks but then started to oscillate on its own and couldn't turn it off. Finally got it to turn off but then it beeped contiguously all night. Finally got that to stop with a little bit of force. Originally bought it to use in my bedroom until my new HVAC is installed, as soon as that happens this is going right straight to the landfill. It is also quite noisy, wake up with ringing in my ears.
