It’s 2023, and the warm Spring Bank Holiday weekend kick started interest in this article yet again.

It has a large capacity water reservoir which you simply fill with water, plug into any standard wall socket and enjoy! It’s a complicated subject, but the important factor for us here is that when it is warm or hot, higher absolute humidity is uncomfortable because the amount of moisture in the air relative to the maximum possible is higher. The special, antimicrobial, silver-infused filter in Chillmax Air Pure Chill 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. There are two buttons on the top rear, one which changes the fan speed to one of three settings (or off), with a blue LED for each, and another button that turns the night light on or off. has a built-in soft-glow LED light with SEVEN colours to choose from, so it’s the perfect night light for those hot, muggy nights.At any temperature, once you reach the maximum amount possible, any extra vapour condenses out as liquid water – misted up windows, dampness, even drips and pools of moisture on window sills or under lamp posts. This personal air cooler and humidifier is perfect for those hot and muggy days, providing you with a fine mist of cool, moist air to help you stay comfortable and relaxed. In the UK, the realistic temperature drop you could expect on a non-humid day for a large cooler would be around 5-6 ºC, but on a sticky day you’d only get about a 3 ºC drop. Do the same comparison when the surrounding temperature is 38ºC, and the ‘feels like’ goes from 43ºC to over 50ºC!

With 4 easy press functions, this fan is easy to operate with on/off, low, medium and high settings and top fill tank allows convenience and practical refilling. is the new and improved personal cooler that turns water, via a special, silver-infused filter and specially designed diffuser, into a fine mist of cool, refreshing air circulated by a fan with four speed settings. Infused with a silver sponge evaporative filter which pulls in warm, dry air which then transforms into a cool refreshing mist. 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.The top-fill water reservoir, combined with the filter, means you can rely on Chillmax Air Pure Chill to run for a whole night’s sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air! Let’s work on the assumption that it would be able to get the same 4ºC drop no matter what the ambient temperature was.

The secret is Hydro-Chill Technology, which uses our advanced, evaporative air-cooling filter to pull in warm, dry air and instantly transform it into a cool air. When I first set it up and turned it on, the first thing I noticed was that the fan is quite powerful, so you get a good flow of air directed at you – but note that that it’s only a 5″ computer fan, so it can’t beat a proper desk fan for air flow. The working principle is identical, except that the larger the surface area of water, and the greater the airflow over that water, then the greater will be the possible drop in temperature at the front end (and the more moisture being pumped out to increase the humidity).REUSABLE, ANTIMICROBIAL FILTER, RUNS UP TO 10 HOURS PER FILLThe special, antimicrobial filter in Chillmax Air is designed to hold water without allowing the bacteria and mould that it contains to develop and grow, it's even dishwasher-safe so you can regularly clean it and use it time after time. Indeed, you may have seen weather forecasts where they give the actual temperature and the ‘feels like’ equivalent – that’s a reference to the ‘ Heat Index’, which takes into account the effect of the %RH. Conversely, if the surrounding air is very humid, then no matter how powerful your fan is, you will feel little or no cooling because sweat can only evaporate if the air has capacity to hold additional moisture (I’ll explain that a bit more later, because it’s what determines whether the Chillmax is any good). Chillmax Air Pure Chill has a built-in soft-glow LED light with seven warm, relaxing colours to choose from to suit your mood: Blue, Red, White, Teal, Purple, Yellow, Green.

I am an idiot for things like this, and bought it on impulse so I could test whether it worked or not. is the new and improved personal cooler that turns water, via a special, silver-infused filter and specially designed diffuser, into a fine mist of cool, refreshing air circulated by a fan with four-speed settings.

However, it is possible some people might find the minor cooling effect and increased humidity of the Chillmax/InstaChill (and similar devices) beneficial, so the choice is yours. Now, with our new and improved dual-mist spray jets you get even more instant air cooling with a dual blast of refreshing mist. You’re probably aware that you can have a hot summer day in the high 20s where it is pleasant and comfortable, but a cooler and overcast day might be horribly sticky – or muggy.
