Is this a real air conditioner?

No. It has no compressor or refrigerant. It is a fan that blows air over water for a cooler breeze.

How much area can it cool?

Only a few feet around it. It is meant for one person at a desk, bed or couch, not a whole room.

Does it work in humid weather?

Poorly. Evaporative cooling depends on dry air, so it feels much weaker in humid climates.

How much power does it use?

25 W at 110 V, which is about the same as a small fan and far less than a window AC.

Do I need to add water or ice?

Yes. Fill the reservoir with water, and ice can make the breeze colder for a short time.

Our take on the Mini Personal Portable Air Conditioner Cooler

This is a small plug-in personal cooler rated at 25 W and 110 V, with three fan speeds and five settings. It is not a compressor air conditioner: it blows air over a water-soaked pad or reservoir to give a cool breeze at close range. It sits at the low end of what these mini coolers offer, so value is not the concern. Expect a desk fan with a chill, not room cooling.
