Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 - New, improved, personal air cooler and humidifier

Product Information

Now, some people might be thinking that a 4ºC is better than nothing at all. And they’d be right if it was just a matter of temperature. But there’s more to it than that. I mentioned that the exhaust from the Chillmax felt ‘softer’. I knew what it was, but my data logger shows it in numbers.

Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that’s also a night light. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate! Increased power with 4 fan settings Perfect for those hot summer days (and nights!), the JML ChillMax Air is your very own personal space air cooler and humidifier. The special, antimicrobial filter in Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 is designed to hold water without allowing the bacteria and mould that it contains to develop and grow, it’s even washable so you can regularly clean it and use it time after time. The top-fill water reservoir, combined with the filter, means you can rely on Chillmax Air Pure Chill 2.0 to run for a whole night’s sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air! 7-colour LED night light This antimicrobial replacement filter will keep your Chillmax Air running perfectly for months.

We recommend you replace your filter every three to six months so this replacement filter will last you all Summer! CHILLS IN 2 WAYS: Chillmax Air Pure Chill gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that’s also a night light.

Simply fill the convenient top-fill reservoir with water, plug it in and enjoy! Plus, Chillmax Air Pure Chill has a built-in soft-glow LED light with seven colours to choose from, so it’s the perfect night light for those hot summer nights. The ambient humidity in the room where I did the test was about 44%RH. The Chillmax sent that up to over 70%RH. It is this elevation of the humidity of the cooled air which really brings into question whether the Chillmax is worth the investment. The secret is Hydro-Chill Technology, which uses our advanced, silver-infused evaporative air-cooling filter and our enhanced cool-mist system, to pull in warm, dry air and instantly transform it into cool refreshing air. Chillmax Air Pure Chill uses no chemicals or toxic coolants, just ordinary water, and lasts for hours on just one filling! Another example. If the air temperature is 35ºC, at 50%RH it will feel like 41ºC, but send the humidity up to 80%RH and it’ll feel like 57ºC – even though the thermometer still reads 35ºC. So, the Chillmax definitely cools the air that passes through it. Let’s work on the assumption that it would be able to get the same 4ºC drop no matter what the ambient temperature was. If your room is 38ºC, pulling it down to 34ºC still means it’s bloody hot. And also note that the Chillmax is physically quite small, so the cooling is very localised – it won’t cool an entire room down, and you have to have it less than a metre from your face to feel anything.

It does cool the air by a few degrees, so in that sense it works. However, it also sends the humidity up, and in most cases that actually makes you feel hotter and more uncomfortable. In that sense, it doesn’t work.For the following locations next day delivery may take up to two working days: Aberdeen (AB 30-35, 41-54), Northern Highlands (AB 36-38, 55-56), FK (17-21), HS (1-8), IV (All), KW (0-14), PH (15-32, 34-48), Eire (Republic of Ireland) (EI (ZZ75) (All)), Glasgow (G 83), Guernsey (GY 9), Oban (HS 9, KA 28, PA 20-99, PH 33, 49-99), Isle of Man (IM (All)), Arran (KA 27), Orkney Shetland (KW 15-99, ZE (All)) and Cornwall (TR 21-25). As I’ve already explained, the Chillmax works by evaporating water on fibrous panels by forcing air across them. That water has got to go somewhere, and in this case it comes out with the cooled air as water vapour. In the right light, you can actually see it – it’s essentially fog, so the cooled air is also moistened. And just like when it’s foggy outside, and everywhere gets damp, this water vapour can condense on cooler surfaces. My data logger collected some and began to drip during the test, and I have since discovered that it also condenses on the front grille and can drip periodically, so you’d need to be careful what you had underneath it if you placed it on a shelf. The fan is quite powerful enough to project the drips forward slightly when they drop. As an example, if the air temperature is 30ºC and 50%RH, it will feel like 31ºC, but if the humidity goes up to 80%RH, then it will feel like 38ºC – even though the thermometer still tells you it’s 30ºC. The Hydro-Chill, antimicrobial filter is designed to hold water without allowing bacteria and mould to develop and grow. It’s even dishwasher-safe, so you can regularly sterilise it and then use it time after time.
