Small Fan & Mini-Air Conditioner: The Original Handy Cooler in Black

When a friend suggested this product to me, I was a bit hesitant at how well it would work but when I ended up purchasing one and using it for the first time, I was quite SURPRISED! Because I use an AC Adapter (which I *highly* recommend), the airflow was much stronger. The cool air helped lower my body temperature and I felt like I was sitting next to an AC. Now, it doesn't replace an AC but I feel that it is better than a fan! I will also use this to dry my nails because sometimes my nail dryer blows *warm* air on summer.

I have been working for UPS as a delivery truck driver for years now. I have to say the Handy Cooler is simply the most useful gadget ever. If you have not known already, UPS trucks do NOT have air conditioning because of our frequent stops to houses. I used to keep little fans in the truck while I was driving but they barely helps. The hot air inside the truck just keeps getting recycled. My son got me the Handy Cooler last month and it has made my job so much easier under the hot weather. I usually keep a big water bottle in the car and jus wet the cooling filter whenever it gets dried up. I saw that there is a 6V AC output on the Handy Cooler, so I tried to plug a 6v car adapter into it and it worked! The only problem is that it was hard to place the Handy Cooler so that it would blow directly on my face. I had to use a lot of blue tag to stick it in place on the dashboard. However, I do strongly recommend this product.

OVERVIEW

Handy Cooler is the perfect travel/everyday must-have. It weighs a little over 4 ounces I would say. The size of the handy cooler is astonishing for an air cooler. It is about the size of a water bottle and the handle fits very well. I love how you can adjust the angle of the blowout direction. The air that comes out is cooler than fans, and it doesn't come off too strong. However, don't expect it to be as cold as and as powerful as a full-size AC.

GET IT WORKING

It works by evaporation. For cool air, you need to wet the sponge with the mini-bottle provided or wet it with water over the sink. I think it might even be a good idea to put it in the fridge for a while so that the air that comes out is even cooler.

BATTERIES

It can be powered by plugging it into a computer with the USB cord provided, or by 4 AA batteries which lasts about 5 hours. You can even purchase a 6V wall adapter for it.

CONCLUSION

cooler than the most fans

great design

humidified air

easy to use

portable

I bought this hand held evaporative cooling fan to use in Acapulco Mexico. The temperature here is constantly around 85degrees and the humidity stays around 40-80%. I was not sure the evaporative cooling would work well with the high humidity, but I was happy to find out it worked great anyways. It was a life saver for my wife who was 8 months pregnant and always overheating. Since it is hard to find air conditioning down here she was suffering when the sun got high! The USB chord is really handy too, we just plugged it into the computer and saved the only batteries we had for when we had to go to deliver the baby.

The only bad thing about this fan was the first few(4-7) uses had a bad odor, which made me worry about what chemicals were still on it. But it is not too big of a deal, just don't point it up your nose.

This mini fan does a great job in keeping a personal area cool. It stands up on a table and has a USB adapter. I also bought the home adapter which is recommended if you want more airflow. I take use it when I walk my dog and it's wonderful. The air is around 15 degrees cooler and I'm more than happy with the performance. Recommended!
