It's Extremely Nice - Coleman Air Conditioner Review

By Savannah Rivera


To put it in simple words, this is a machine where you pay a steep premium for the cool air. If you have health issues or can't take the heat, this is a must-have. It worked great! I also brought a 15 minute battery charger so I could recharge my batteries quickly and use the cooler all of the time. This is such a great little device! I remember my grandmother always holding up this little fan to her face when she was hot.

Will be ordering another for my daughter next summer and hopefully the price would have gone down a bit by then. This fan was purchased as a gift for my girlfriend and she bought it to work with her all the time.

The highest speed blows a perfect amount of air on the hottest days and it gives out a low, droning buzz. In fact, the buzz on my laptop is even louder than this fan so it is never considered a distraction when I am working. I live in the Mojave Desert and as such carry something to keep me cool, and this is perfect. The company was quick to address any questions I had and as such I have bragged and shared this little gem with all my friends, and in turn 4 of my friends have purchased one for themselves! However, the product really didn't live up to the hype in previous reviews. It seemed to draw inconsistent power from the USB port of my brand new MacBook Pro, and would sometimes slow down or stutter, creating a distraction. The fan does its job, but like in the insert it is labeled, in humid weather it will not cool you down. The little breeze effect may help you to cool down. If I want to be in the same room as my husband and children (which I do) then when I am not in my office, I can use the Handy Cooler rather than the Kuul Aire, and use the Handy Cooler just on me. The hubby and kids can be comfortable, and I can be comfortable.

This is a quality product. So I bought this because I had read so many good things about it on the other reviews. In the winter it is freezing and we are stocking up on individual heaters and in the winter it is like we are all competing for the best cooling device. I would say that my handy cooler has been the best cooling device out of everybody's.

So we decided to run only one at a time and swap out batteries for a total of 10 hours run time on high. The sponge is a hassle to remove out of the mesh bag and wet it and then put back while constantly moving with our pack.

From now on, I will hesitate on believing Amazon reviews because either the company is making fake reviews or they simply only post positive reviews. To elaborate: You have two options when using this fan; you can plug it in to a USB port on your pc or use batteries. Only annoying thing is that since I bought it the price has been reduced $10, Very satisfied with this purchase. It works really well in the dry summer heat. I highly recommend it. The only downside was that when I put it in my backpack with the sponge wet, the water leaked.
