Main Features and Functions in Detail:

• This air cooler from Chillmax has the ability to keep your temperatures cooler by just using water and in turn operates by cooling and humidifying the air in your home
• The filter included is dishwasher friendly which is one less thing to worry about and it is also antimicrobial and reusable which cuts down on the ongoing costs of additional filters.

• When filled up, this cooler can last up to 10 hours duration (at the lower setting) which again cuts down on the amount of times you need to refill the machine. It operates by turning cold water using a special filter into a finer mist of cool, refreshing air which in turn is circulated by a fan (3 speed settings)
• It works by humidifying while it cools your breathing areas so you can stay cool and breathe moist, humid air for a much better living environment.
• Operation includes the use of Hydro-Chill Technology for pulling in dry air and converting it to refreshing cooler air. It is lightweight in design so moving it from room to room in your home is very easy and there are no chemicals or toxic coolants used (only water) which again is one less thing to be worrying about
• In summary, you get a small Air cooler which operates as a humidifier, a cooler and also a night light LED from a single plug socket operation. The size of the box is 20.3 by 17.8 by 24.8cm and comes in at a gross weight of 1.23kg

Part 3: Chillmax Air Cooler Review – Pros and Cons

Pros for the Chillmax Air Cooler:

• This is an environmentally friendly choice to make your air conditions cooler as it uses just the evaporation of water to keep you cooler
• The filters are reusable and dishwasher safe so you don’t have the ongoing cost of buying new filters over and over again. They are also resistant to mould and mildew
• One fill gives you up to 10 hours of cooler air which is a lot longer than expected from a machine so small
• It is neat and tidy, looks well and it can fit easily on the work top where you work in the kitchen or on your bedside table. As it is lightweight, it is easily transportable around your home from room to room.
• Includes the built-in soft-glow blue LED night light which many other brands do not have
• It also includes the Hydro-Chill Technology with the advanced evaporative air-cooling filter to pull in warm dry air and change it to cool refreshing air
• It can be plugged into any wall socket in your home or areas where you need a concentrated effort where you read or work by your computer
• No ozone-destroying chemical coolants are used like what you see in commercial air conditioners

Cons for the Chillmax Air Cooler:

• It lacks the power of cooling the air like an air conditioner can do but it does come with a fraction of the price
• The lower settings can sometimes give less than satisfactory results – many seem to need the second or even the third settings in more difficult conditions
• The level of noise is not all that bad but may be too loud for people who are very light sleepers
• While we found it to operate quite well in our own home, many others did not get the level of cool air that they expected from it so it certainly is not for everyone – it works for some yet doesn’t provide enough cool air output for others
• Some will find the LED light a little too annoying – again it is not for everyone
• Some minor issues have been reported with the vents which should be noted even in isolated cases but at least there is the money back guarantee in the event there are any problems

Part 4: Conclusion and Feedback

Conclusion:

Do I recommend it? Yes, based on our own experiences as it gave us a much-improved cooler air effect in the rooms we put it in. It also seems to work better in smaller type rooms in confined spaces rather than very large rooms spread out as the cool air tends to get lost. If you need it for a small room where you read or work on a computer, then you get a lot more from it. However, if you are the other side of the large room, then the impact for the cooler air is significantly lower. The other reason why I recommend it is the fact that they offer a money back guarantee so if you need to return it, then they will refund you with their money back guarantee.
