The cooler is marketed as being "whisper quiet," but it's actually about the same noise level as your average fan. I just place it a few feet away from my bed and point it directly at me to get a nice cold breeze for most of the night. Mostly, though, I've been using it at night and it's been a lifesaver for keeping me from overheating while I sleep. If I'm using it during the day, I'll add a couple more ice cubes after a few hours, for an extra boost of cold air. The air is coolest within the first hour or so while the filter is still frozen and the ice is melting, but even after that, you still get a pretty cool breeze thanks to the water tank. And those few steps alone make a huge difference. It works pretty well with water alone, but to get a real cooling effect, the instructions say that you should remove the filter, soak it and then put it in the freezer and add some ice cubes to the water tank. To use it, you add water to the tank on top. And at just $25 on Target, it's about the same price as a basic fan but it has way more cooling power. It's pretty small, too, so it won't chill an entire room, but it's a great option to keep by your desk or by your bed for a constant stream of cold air while you work or sleep. It's an evaporative cooler, otherwise known as a "swamp cooler," which works by pulling in hot air and fanning it through a water-soaked filter. The handy little gadget is an air cooler not an air conditioner. There's an important distinction that needs to be made when it comes to the Arctic Air Pure Chill. It's not an air conditioner, but it keeps me cool
