In this video I put to the test the Arctic Air Ultra. This is the 2019 release from Arctic air, this video will show if it can really cool you down on a hot day. I have included a pro tip to make your experience more enjoyable. The unit sells for $39.99 at a variety of retail stores or online. I picked this one up at CVS.
Review:
The Artic Air Ultra is the redesign from the Artic Air in 2018. The redesign has a few neat improvements. In the new Artic Air Ultra the filter is smaller, there is an adjustable vent, and the water reservoir was put on the top. I put the Artic Air Ultra through some pretty unreasonable tests and it performed very well. I noticed that when the filter was frozen first, it cooled like an air conditioner. My PRO tip would be to buy a 2nd filer for the Artic Air Ultra so you always have one that is frozen. In the end I thought that this product did very well. I would like to see it in the $19.99 price point but for $39.99 it still worked. I hope that this review helped you make your purchase decision.
as always - thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Filter froze rather quickly. Using it now. PRPS: fan is impressively stronger than I anticipated. I'm sitting about 5 feet. From it and can feel it quite nicely on high and medium settings. More subtle on low but can still feel it. Pretty quiet overall. A little more noticeable on high but nowhere near an AC even a regular fan. Think more along the lines of a PC. Which is not surprising since it is powered by a PC powersupply fan. Takes up little space. Is only about 7 inches cubed, so is very portable and cord routing tabs are convenient and useful. CONS: must be literally right on front of unit within a few feet of fan in order to feel. It is not (as some claim) a cooler, but moreover a personal space cooler. The surrounding area/air/room temp will/does not change. Freezing the filter didn't seem to help much. Chilling the water for the tank to just below freezing, along with freezing the filter should make a lot of difference as this water is drawn up into the filter.

    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.

The units are identical although this New version has a removable/changeable filter. The units I bought worked fine for a couple of months with the first one and a couple of days for he second one. Used it to cool me while I was at my computer station. About 2 feet away. I would not want to buy another one now since it looks like they did not improve this much. Let's see if it's still working a few months from now. Cheap and doesn't last for very long. I kind of knew it might go kaput so I bought two of them. Bad investment.
