Let me start by saying this little gadget is a game-changer for small spaces! I used it on my cramped desk during a heatwave, and the 3-speed settings were perfect—low for background cooling, high when I was melting. The 5200mAh battery lasted me a full workday (about 8 hours on medium), and the USB-C charging is clutch for power banks.
BUT—don’t expect AC-level cooling. The ice water trick? Meh. It adds a slight chill, but mostly just mists you (pro tip: skip the water unless you want damp papers). The noise is whisper-quiet on low, though high speed sounds like a tiny helicopter.
Where it shines? Portability. I tossed it in my backpack for a picnic, and the adjustable vents kept our group cool. Campers will LOVE it—no cords, just breezy relief. Downsides? The tank is tiny (refill often), and the plastic feels a bit cheap. For $40 though? Worth it for personal cooling on the go!
