❄Arctic Air Ultra review❄ - does it really cool? Arctic Air Ultra! [20]

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Check out my review of the newest Arctic Air Pure Chill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ6ZZWyfpr6Ig6M

[@margaretchayka6878]

This is only a 6x6" cube, people. It's not going to cool your room it's going to cool your personal space. #1 - freeze the filter #2 use ice cubes in the water tray, put it about 3-4 feet away from you. You step out of the zone, you're not going to feel cool anymore. I work for long periods in front of my computer, and it's perfect for that. Even after the filter thaws and the ice is melted, it's still cooler than just having a fan.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

You're right...it's a personal air cooler, not a room air conditioner. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for your kind words. Glad the review helped. Let me know if there is something you may want reviewed. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@Tvstuffreviews]

I was really impressed that you used a temperature gun when testing out if it cools super hot air (from the hair dryer) Great Review; you proved this really does work. Maybe not as much as some people would like it to work, but it works a lot better than the original! 😃

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I was impressed with this product. Even with some really hot temperatures this item cooled off the air. I'll look forward to using this during the hot summer months.

I’m two minutes in and I already like your style of review. To the point and not a lot of unnecessary information. To me it reminds me of a swamp cooler which works in arid and dry regions to put moisture in the air to cool it as opposed to Florida where water (humidity) is extracted

[@tmst2199]

Evaporative air coolers work best in dry climates. The cooling performance is directly proportional to the rate of water evaporation. Just FYI.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate you sharing!

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

T Mst so what portable cooler would work best in a high humid summer location?

[@IxOTAKUxNINJAxI]

I have 4 of these to replace my existing artic air v1. It is slightly bigger with an adjustable front vent. The fan is much more powerfull then the existing artic air. And the new filter is better than the old thin paper one. From my experience living in Hawaii it gets hot year round. This product is intended for personal use but it will tend to cools the air around me in an hour if used the right way. As all reviews will say. Freeze the filter. Add ice cold water and ice chips in the top for full effect. Make sure to have a second and 3rd filter ready every 1-2 hours. I will say tho. It does the job right when I need it the most during the hot and humid summer days.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

These are really good tips. Thanks for adding your personal experiences with this product and explaining the benefits of the new one over the previous versions. Have a great day!

[@mannacheryl]

I love my Artic Air. I have the original model and have been using it for over two years. It is a "personal space" cooler and is not made to cool an entire room. Mine has worked for what it was designed to do. I sleep with it on my night stand and use it in the day on my desk when I am working. I use distilled water in it just so there is no scale buildup. No complaints here.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've heard many like the original over the new one. The main complaint has been the change with the plug. Thanks for sharing the tip with the distilled water.

[@victoriapopaz5303]

Great demonstration! I have the Arctic air tower it’s bigger its a cylinder shaped one but I’m a little confused ... the arctic original is cube shaped and the upgrade ultra is also cubed shaped as you’ve just demonstrated here for us today so where does the the cylinder shaped one fit into all of this I’m a little confused 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@muserwood]

1. It's basically a tiny swamp cooler. Which are fine in dry air conditions. 2. They could drop the price by eliminating the built in light. Why do you need that? 3. It should come with two filters so you can be freezing one while using the other. All that said, it might be perfect for a smaller truck camper like mine. I'll consider it. Thanks for the great review.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

You're right this is better in a small space. Some people like the light for night. I don't really care for it either.

[@littlesister7021]

Great Review! I'm thinking of getting this product. Of course knowing that it isn't going to cool a big space. It's great to have people like you testing products to help people decide whether it's worth spending money on them.

Helpful review, thank you. Does this model have an automatic shut-off feature when the water runs out?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

no it doesn't

[@caribbeangtr8077]

A better test would be to measure the ambient then compare it with what comes out to see the temperature drop. Also, to load it with crushed ice 50% and water to the top and check ambient against unit's output.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I recently tested a similar product, check it out and let me know what you think: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIe3o4OXlJdmoc0

[@caribbeangtr8077]

The ice in water would certainly remove the heat from the room, however, water alone will also help through latent heat of evaporation. This is at best a Humidifier/De-Humidifier depending on your climate. Its misleading to call it an air-conditioner in the strictest sense although it does adjust the temperature.

[@maryhowe827]

I did not freeze the filter but I did add Ice cubes I really like it

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Couldn't you put ice cubes in the water bottle ? Can you do another test with ice water ?

Yes, ice cubes in reservoir helps cool it down.

[@Zetsumei88]

Nice to see a positive review about this product! Many people talk bad about this and the original version. I've used both the revised original version w/ the adjustable vents and the 2019 version and I'm pleased with them both. As you said it's about the realistic expectation it creates a comfortable micro climate around you vs cooling a whole room which it's not capable of doing. I don't freeze the filters and I'm sitting in about 80-85 degrees and it's blowing out 59-63 degree air which is comfortable to me. Only other thing that is worth mentioning is this will not work in higher humidity levels 50% or higher forget it. Even at 30-40% mark you will start seeing extremely reduced performance unfortunately. I've seen another reviewer using it in 40-45%+ humidity levels and saying it doesn't work well, clearly they don't understand how evaporative cooling works!

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for the comment, if the buyer realizes that this unit is meant for individual use they will be very happy. They should not expect a $40 whole room air conditioner. I appreciate the tip on humidity, I wonder if a frozen filter would help in areas with higher humidity.

[@katrinagagala1579]

Thanks for saying something about it not working in high humidity. I just saw one at a local store by me and was tempted, but wanted to check reviews first. I live in Michigan, where the humidity is pretty much always higher than 50%. So, I would think this product wouldn't work for me.

[@luckspell]

The machine has to break the surface tension of water atomize it and make a copper magnet move so because it doesn't say how to destroy energy in the form of heat like destroying matter its just a fan with a humidifier and overall will make the room hotter and more humid because you're turning electric current and potential energy into kinetic energy that will turn into heat energy just for your body because it doesn't displace heat energy out of a room it only creates it but if you place it facing you technically it will displace the heat that is with you elsewhere in the room. That's why we've been using ac for the past 999 googleplexian years in the burbs with our google years old houses

[@Jeffreviews4u]

You must be a scientist, or a teacher. Thanks for explaining this - it was very educational. Have a great day.

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

ryan steinborn it would be more helpful to explain this to us in normal adult conversational language. Because I really need to find a portable personal cooler so I do not wind up in the ER this summer due to heat stroke. There is no such thing as googleplexian years. What the heck are google years? Offer up some real solutions, please....not mumble jumbo.

[@nugget7623]

I have a problem with overheating while I sleep. I’ve seen mixed reviews on this thing. I used to sleep with a fan blowing in my face and replaced it with this thing. I can tell you it really works. It takes at least 40 minutes of running before it really cools down. I’ve not gone back to the fan in 3 months. I love it. My wife who is always cold absolutely hates it because it truly works. You will have better results if you use distilled water also. Nice review though.

I might try with freezing the filter.

It's not cooling air down that far. Wind created naturally or by fans reduce the temperature too, but when the air stops a few feet over, the temperature "reduced" by the fan will be back to whatever it was. Just so you dont think the fan "cooled" the air permanently.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

That's a great point! The change in temperature is temporary. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@CrucisJon]

Does the New Filter fit the Old Arctic Air ?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

It is not intended for that unit. I'm sure you could make it work.

[@MrDonloc1]

No it won't fit

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@ashleyf3668]

Thank you for that, I was curious I’m an Esthetician/ nail tech and the salon I work at is not always so cool (cheap boss) so I wanted something I could use to cool me and my clients down on hot days. Main table it would be perfect and when I’m giving massage I get hot in my small room. Looks perfect for me! Is there a 2020 model? Or is this the latest?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

as far as I know there is not a 2020 model - yet. this little cooler works well in close proximity but not for those sitting further away.

[@dfygoh3215]

i had bad results, small bedroom went from 73 to 72

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Reducing the overall temperature in a room seems pretty good to me this unit is intended to help you cool down and not necessarily cool down the room. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@turbodan78]

You need a slight bit of outside air to drop the humidity in the room or it just gets humid

[@TheresaDunn-rg7mz]

Does it work with a plug

[@-Scraps-]

Did you measure the drop in ambient temps? If so, what was it with water vs ice? And did you ever add ice in the reservoir along with the frozen filter to see how many hours it would cool for and how cold?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I did not do a drop in room temperature. This is not intended to lower the temperature in the room, just cool you. You get about 30 minutes of extra cooling with a frozen filter.

[@-Scraps-]

I meant measuring normal ambient conditions without blasting it with a hairdryer. Would love to see how much and how long it can cool with ice water in the tray and a frozen filter.

[@traceyjscott069]

Why did you not just test it at normal temps with out the Hair dryer?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I was trying to demonstrate the cooling potential - that being said you make a good point. I'll be sure to incorporate ambient temperature if similar items are posted. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@guyonthecouch007]

It still feels warmer than what it says cause its measuring the surface temperature not the air

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've been thinking that lately. Do you know of a device that measures air temperature and not the surface? I'd like to use it for the next installment of the arctic air.

[@guyonthecouch007]

@@Jeffreviews4u regular stem thermometer

[@Jeffreviews4u]

@@guyonthecouch007 great idea, I have one of those for my smoker. Thanks for the tip.

[@rcmanaka]

Use a digital meat thermometer that is food certified, ie rapid response, thin tip needle probe.

[@adamphan2326]

Is it a straight wall plug or is it usb like the old one?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

They went with a regular plug this time instead of the USB. Thanks for the comment.

[@JohnKlopp]

Excellent review. You have a good channel and will get lots of views. 👍

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I appreciate the vote of confidence. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@TheresaDunn-rg7mz]

Does it have a plug?!?

[@fritigerngothic4352]

Will it cool from 72 to 70? It’s much easier to cool very hot air so this misses the issue.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

This will not change the temperature in a room all that much. It is really only intended to make you a little cooler. Freeze the filter and use use water for best results. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@sherriesmircich6384]

I have checked almost every one reviewing the Arctic Air. Everyone is testing this thing in a LARGE area. It clearly states it's for small areas. We own semi trucks that need ac at night. (small space) I need to know if this will work in a SMALL area and last 8 to 10 hours like it says. Common sense will tell you that it isn't going to work in large areas. If anyone can tell me this I would greatly appreciate it.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I already have a plan set up for the next generation release that should answer your query. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@ScratchinMyAss]

What are the watts, amps and volts? I looked on their website and no info.

[@TigerTT]

I got one from CVS today and I like it paired WITH a fan blowing on high behind it then it blows much cooler air,so far it works for me. I might try using some cylinder ice blocks.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

That's a good idea! Let me know how ot works. Thanks for the support.

[@kingpen3254]

Does it matter if an window is open in the room or not

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've used it with the window open. That being said you need to be in front of this unit for it to be effective. It is a personal cooler not room cooler. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@Lazyeditorkid155]

Could I use this with usb cable?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

This generation did not have a USB cable. previous versions did. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@igor7195]

I live in Serbia where is hot and humid, it works great.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

typically swamp coolers dont work well in a humid environment. That being said dry and arid climates they should be ok. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@igor7195]

@@Jeffreviews4u Yes, i had doubt in this one but it was on discount so i paid about 20 dollars for it. I am actually impressed, bcs humidity rarely go below 50% here. It works good. Nice review btw.

[@davidloshbaugh5902]

Is that destilled water as recommended?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I used filtered, distilled is also recommended. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
