Hvac tech here. Just buy a window ac or portable ac. You're just using a tiny swamp cooler that's adding humidity to the room. You're not actually removing any heat from the cooled space.

i know this is an old video, but thats man, im convinced, i had the pure chill in my rv bedroom for about a year and it works great here in the hot summer months of central wa. and when were out and only running solar, these pure chills have worked great, i look forward to this tower!

I think the pumping noise that you're hearing is that it's filtering itself and I don't think you should worry about the wobbliness sometimes when things are made out of plastic it happens like that I don't think that's an issue at all as long as it's working and it's functional and is blowing out cool air then you're good to go.

I'm so glad you showed the inside, it helped me know if the blue hose in the back is supposed to go inside the water holder or outside (when I opened it, it was originally outside, but the water holder wouldn't close all the way so I was a little confused)

Another great review Jeff, i love this channel

Giant swamp cooler! My dad bought me an Arctic air ultra machine 3 years ago, and I was happy with it! Now I bought him a Pure Chill 2.0 to appreciate and give back to him for what he gave me! Celebrating father’s day, and happy father’s day to you!

I bought this fan in may of 2020 and I had no problems. I added ice cubes to the cold water I put in the tray and I wet and froze the filter and it successfully cools my hallway, HOWEVER, now a year later, I can't find anywhere to buy the replacement filter, not even on the community website.

I can't find where to buy a replacement filter for this. I would like to alternate filters, while putting one in the freezer. I guess I could try putting the ice in the reservoir.

I have a pc in my room and it warms up my room. You think this can help cool the room down? Does placement matter too? Cuz I don't want it next to my pc due to fear of leakage

I appreciate your video and explaining how to use. Mine does wobble, but it’s never fallen over or anything. It didn’t put out real cold air, the fan doesn’t seem to blow out very far, I’m using in my garage and plan to set it up and use all day tomorrow while I work, so I’ll be able to see how cool it makes the garage.

I bought me one and the artic air tower sounds like a waterfall and leaking at the bottom how do I fix this

All right so I just bought one of these and I found this very helpful but let me ask you this, did yours leak at all and as your one little blue hose just dangling at the top? I have a short one that’s about 3 inches just dangling at the top. I also noticed my water is very cloudy after just a few days so I literally have to take the whole tower to the sink to dump it and wash it?

Just purchased this and I definitely don't think it's worth the money. Mine also wobbles alot and with a small toddler I'm just waiting for it to fall over. My base is snapped in correctly so that's not the problem. It also leaks a ton of water from bottom I can not find where it's leaking out from but very frustrating. Besides these issues it does cool down the room and I like how quiet it is.

I'm hoping an HVAC professional sees, but I live in Houston, Texas. A particularly humid place already. My HOA does not allow us to have window units so I resort to portable AC, but a portable AC is pretty pricey. I really just want to place this in my gaming room where I have a lot of electronics and I won't be running it for hours at a time. Could this be a good alternative to a portable AC or should I just avoid this. I'm worried about rust but I'm not sure if that's a thing with these types of units.

I just got the tower from Home Depot tryed it last night Umm it kinda works with ice it gives a hint of chills breeze but also with the help of two cheap Walmart fans so $100 I might have to take it back and save up for real expensive ac or swamp cooler

You need less humidity. That looks like it works really well. The oscillating feature is the best, as it’s essentially a “spot” cooler. I move to different position in my van and have to constantly move my arctic air pure chill 2.0. I’ll definitely look into this device. Thanks for the info.

I’ve binged watched some of your videos. I watch at 2x speed but you do a good through job on your reviews. Well done.

I love my arctic tower! It ahs lasted a year but now it is leaking... can I repair it? I like it for dry climate in Southern California!

Thanks for the review. So this is helpful if you are 5 feet away, but if you wanted to cool a room, even a small one, would not be so helpful? And it's unstable. And is dumping the water out messy or much of a chore? How large is the filter. You say it fit sin your freezer but my freezer is very small, as is everything here. Thanks. You have a nice 'radio' voice...

I really love my small artic airs there good especially at night. They have a white noise and keep it cool. You just have to replace the ice water after it evaporates. It’s great as a one room thing as an addition to your central air. So It seems like the tower is the same but bigger version.

Mine wobbled because I didn't latched the bottom to the tower correctly..should hear a click when you turn the base

Hi I got one of those arctic air towers and mine is making a clicking noise is that normal

The cost of this Arctic air Tower you can buy an air conditioner LOL

Hi Jeff, can you link where you bought your digital thermometer? There's so many, I don't know which one's the best...thanks!

Hi, Jeff- Great review and video. Just wondering if you can order extra filters, ( sorry if I missed that on the video)? So you can keep one frozen for when the other one thaws!

what about water squirting while the unit is on ; ok now im seeing a mist control so I guess i answered my question again. i may have a newer model with mist control. ?

it is slighly cooling & got both sections of bottom bace assembled but can't get the support base assembled but can't get the base attached to the tower

I just got 9!3 and it doesn't retain any water ..when the water starts to enter the filter it just gets backed up and starts overflowing all over the floor.

I just received mine from Amazon today and its cooling pretty good but only problem I have is water spraying out the front grill and getting my carpet wet.

in the water reservoir the tube with the blue tip is near the top of the water container- shouldnt the tip be lower to where its in the water level ? i just noticed the blue tube lowers as the door is shut but does not appear to lower to near the bottom

So to dump the water u have to pickup the whole tower too?

I'm sitting in front of my chillmax air from jml I just bought it looks like the Arctic air pure chill I love the cool moist air it's so nice

Have purchased two different units, neither worked they would not pump water. I spoke to a salesperson and they stated that virtually all of the units sold were returned both the tower and the smaller units. Taking it back for a refund.

Hey can you tell me how loud or silent this is ? I Hate loud fans I have the small arctic air and it is so great thinking about getting this large version. Thank you

I have one and I love it but all of a sudden it does not oscillate. How do I fix that. Please help as I can’t find an answer anywhere

It should be noted that the current version, the Tower+, now includes a plastic bottle where you can put water in it and freeze it and insert it into holder on the water tank. This gives you very chilled water without needing to use ice cubes, and that could make the unit run even cooler.

Thank u for the honest review!!

I strongly recommend the Hessaire MC12V. It's being sold at Home Depot for $99.97! It works great and I absolutely love it.

Thank you!

I wonder if you put small blocks of ice in the ice water if the cold last longer And I'm curious if the temp would change more if you turned oscillate on

I WANT TO ADD ICE AGAIN, SO DO I NEED TO TIP THE TOWER OVER❓ ANY HAZZARDS DOING THAT OR JUST LEAVE OLD WATER UNTIL.....WHAT ~ THX 🙋‍♀️🐾💜🐾

I thought this was going to be a cheesy bias paid review. Luckily I was wrong and I'm glad I stayed to watch the entire video this really helped me out. ;)

I saw this thing at walmary for the 99 pricepoint and since the central air in the house im renting is down at the moment, running it now i do feel cooler than a standard fan with windows closed on an 80+ degree day. Doesnt seem like something id rely heavily on, but good for a pinch.

Can u reccomend a good mop to clean the water off the floor when my cat knocks the tower over

I bought this cooler and the water spits out from the front really bad.l have to put towels in front.empties water in a couple of hours

I just bought one today. I did everything the instructions said to do. Honestly it's just an expensive fan. I'm pretty disappointed. It was 95 degrees today and I live in an upstairs apartment so it gets hot. In order to get cooled off by this product I had to put it right in front of me. I expected more from the info on the box!

Your review was exactly what I needed to hear & see! 🙂 Thank you for your excellent description & information. God bless!

It says right on the instructions to wet the filter... and stick it in the freezer.

Good review. Just ordered one from Amazon.

I have one of these and the wobble is for real. Lol it made me remember an older song called "Wobble" by Family Force 5. Lol

How big is your room though? It would have been nice to start off with that info. I’m looking to buy one for my small room.

Thanks for being honest!

I hope you read and reply to my message but I'm not sure if you do a lot of that. I have watched 2 Arctic Air reviews that you done now and I love how you straight up said the $40 product wasn't worth it. Is this $100 air cooler actually worth it? Let's break it down to brass tacks. I'm in Oklahoma so it is more humid here and it makes me wonder if it's actually worth it. If you reply, thank you in advance.

OmG 😲😱. Thanks for sharing. Not safe. Wobbly worry air

damn humidity just a pain in the ass 🥲

My AC is out and it’s 96° inside… dropping 4 ° ain’t gonna cut it 😕😕

I am on my second ArticAirTower… I’m having problems with the oscillating… it stopped oscillating within the first couple days

Great review; I am in Arizona and it works fairly well. I did notice both of the blue tubes in your water reservoir are connected. One of my tubes was loose in the container, I assumed it was an extra. Do you know if I need to connect it? Thanks.

Hey Jeff, I recently brought the Artic Air Pure Chill that you reviewed. (Thanks for that vid. btw cause I hate reading directions) I found that if you put fan in front of that bad boy it actually cools down the room because it pulls that cold air further. I didn't have a fancy thermometer like you, but my dogs seemed to love it a lot more than just the fan by itself. An oscillating fan, and the tiny cooler I feel is much more affordable. Probably something you could test out. (If you won't)

Thank you.

Nice review never knew they made this product. I use swamp coolers for my house and from my experience the coolers that have the honeycomb filters work the best the other type are ok. New subscriber here to.

How does one empty the unused water out of this cooler?

You sound like an official Arctic Air Tower salesman.

I want to test in real heat temperatures like in Houston Texas, where the humidity 37 and heat temps like 91 to 99. Help

Why does mine leak so much water at the bottom.? I did evrything right!

My tower won't even stay turned on . I hit power button it turn on for2/ secsl and then just shuts off . Won't stay on ..

very helpful

How long to freeze the filter? I got this just now

I got this at a liquidation store for 8 dollars. I also have the same small blue fan you have behind you.

Do you need to put the filter in the freezer and place cold water in the water holder.

My bedroom just runs hot even with the AC on. Small room only 100 sq ft. I want a regular AC unit but god they are so loud so I may just try this!

Living in south Louisiana, what portable ac would you recommend?

Have you ever done a review for a swamp cooler I was asking because that's the next thing to the Arctic Air tower. That would function and cool better than the other one's you have tested so far.

I just checked this item out. So no swamp cooler for me in the south. Too humid!

Great video. I didn't want to read the instructions. I was expecting cool air, I got none. Wish I didn't spend the $100.00

The questions is . how is the temperature outside?

My base came with two identical sides

Just out the box the water leaks out the front and no customer service available. Have you experienced water leakage out the front

ya due to the humidity increase of these fans they really should only sell them to dessert/ low humidity area. Sometimes the muggy feeling is worse then the heat.

Please do the updated 2.0 artic air tower review

I got an Arctic king 5,000 BTU window ac for $40 and it will blow this thing out of the water lol. Although the power usage will be higher but its wayy worth it for the nice cool breeze an actual air conditioner puts out.

Good video LOUSY PRODUCT!

Where do you get replacement filters??????

I already ordered this a week ago 😬

Thanks,

@jeffreviews4u My original post/question for you was too long, so I’m breaking it into multiple parts. I apologize in advance, but you definitely seem like the perfect person to ask, so PLEASE be patient with me🤗🤗🤗🤗

My pump does not work can you help me with that please I'm not showing any water usage at all

I did everything the instructions said and the pump did work it ran about16 hrs the tank was still full I taking itack to home depot

So it is possible to operate this without the filter? or without water? The water pump noise is driving me nuts, I think I could use it as a dry fan. (It's really humid where I am so the water is defeating its purpose) Sad face.

Seriously you put the thermometer in front of the fan? It’s just reading how cold the wind is, a better location would be the table behind it.

It's an evaporative cooler by any other fancy name is still an evaporative cooler. They are usually cheap, have no condenser and work by blowing air over a wet screen. And they only work in dry desert climates. YOUR CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CHEAP EVAPORATIVE COOLER!"; Just put an electric or battery operated fan blowing wind at a damp towel that's hanging 2 or 3 inches in front of the fan (but not laying on the fan due to fire hazard). When the towel starts to dry, dampen it again. The water evaporating off the damp towel makes the air colder! These evaporative coolers don't work on the East Coast where there is more humidity. If your on the East Coast, look for a small portable A/C that has a condenser. If your lucky you may find a portable 12 volt one that can run off of batteries. They are expensive though.

Jeff has "arctic hair" 😁 Great review bro

Why is mine spewing water everywhere from the front?!

Thank you,,,

Mine started leaking water. Any idea why?

Another great review. Have you ever heard of the Lifefuels Smart Water bottle?

It's off the chain, much better than a room fan

I have used mine twice and it has leaked. Idk how to fix it.

what water did you tap or filter

Well actually to get a real good review on the Arctic air Tower put it in a room that's like 90 degrees and then turn it on sleep in that room and see how comfortable you get that's what kind of review I'm looking for LOL
