This is a 4-in-1 personal evaporative cooler rather than a refrigerant air conditioner. It holds 1000ML of water, runs up to 12 hours on a fill, and combines a fan, a mist function with two settings, three fan speeds, and a 7-color LED light, with a remote and a timer. It runs on USB, so it works at a desk, a bedside table, or in a car. It is rated at 30dB or under, quiet enough to sleep next to. The important distinction: evaporative coolers cool the air moving directly across you, they do not drop the temperature of a whole room. Best fit: personal desk cooling and bedside use in dry heat.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a real air conditioner?
No. It is an evaporative cooler. It cools by blowing air across water, which chills the airstream directed at you but does not lower the temperature of the whole room.
Does it work in humid weather?
Evaporative cooling depends on dry air to work. In high humidity the effect is noticeably weaker, so it suits dry climates far better than humid ones.
How often do you refill the water?
The 1000ML tank is rated for up to about 12 hours of runtime, so roughly once per overnight or full workday depending on the speed and mist setting.
Can it run off a power bank in a car?
Yes, it is USB powered, so a power bank or a car USB port will run it. Higher fan speeds draw more current and will drain a power bank faster.
