Chillmax Go Fan - 360° powerful, portable cordless fan - White

Product Information

Rechargeable– The powerful lithium ion battery runs for up to 5 hours, perfect for keeping you cool on–the–go. The amount of water vapour that air can hold varies with the temperature. Cold air can’t hold much, but warmer air can. 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. In winter, the condensation point is reached very easily, which is why you get your windows all steamed up and everywhere is often damp, but in hotter weather it is more appropriate to think ‘sauna’ (which is why it gets ‘muggy’). This air moisture is what we call ‘humidity’. Chillmax Go Fan uses fully adjustable 360° smart–spin technology, so you can put it down and get that cool air directed exactly where you need it, vertically and horizontally, any position, any angle. Then, just turn the dial to increase fan speed, low and slow, or crank it up for those heat emergencies when you need all the cool air you can get. Features and Benefits The JML ChillMax Air Personal Space Air Cooler and Humidifier doesn’t use chemicals or toxic coolants. It uses ordinary water to keep you and your family safe.

How To Return A Product Until August 2021, the answer in relation to the ChillMax was no. However, I saw an advert (as shouty as usual) for the InstaChill tonight. Unlike the ChillMax, which is the size of a small table top radio, the InstaChill is the size of a bedside cabinet. And you can certainly get larger evaporative coolers from other manufacturers. 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). However, cooling effectiveness is influenced greatly by the RH of the air going in. Chillmax Go Fan is a little powerhouse of cooling technology. Designed to hold the maximum power in the smallest space, the clever engineering means you get a powerful, cooling performance with a fan you can hold in your hand. Thanks to the Lithium Ion technology that draws far more power than standard batteries and converts it into a level of energy that lets our smart, compact motor generate so much power you’ll feel like you’re stood in front of a full-sized wall or ceiling fan! Adjustable 360° smart-spin technology

Chillmax Air uses a super-quiet fan set within its sound-protective casing so the noise you hear is minimal, and with three settings you can have the perfect amount of cool, moist air with the least amount of noise. Reusable, antimicrobial filter, runs up to 10 hours per fillThis impressive unit features a super-quiet fan set within a sound-protective casing, and a built-in, soft-lit blue LED light, so you can rest easy in comfort. Features and Benefits Keep cool all day wherever you go with this Chillmax Go Fan, whether to the office, the bedroom or the beach, even in your hot car for those long road trips, there is nowhere the Go Fan can't go. Cordless & portable– For effortless manoeuvrability and minimal clutter with the absence of messy cables which can often be a safety hazard, this device will cool you down anywhere.

Quiet / night mode– For those once restless summer nights. It even includes abuilt-in, soft-glow, blue LED light to help you relax at night. Evaporative coolers are a big risk with the humidity we experience in the UK. And especially indoors.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. 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. The 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. The large capacity water reservoir, combined with the filter, means that Chillmax Air holds a lot of water, so you can rely on Chillmax Air to run for up to ten hours, that's a whole night's sleep, or an entire working day in a hot stuffy office, breathing in cool, humid air! Built-in LED mood and night light

However, this is where the problems come in for the Chillmax and similar devices. If it’s 35ºC and 40%RH, it’ll feel like 37ºC. Cool the air to 31ºC but send the humidity up to 80%RH, and it’ll feel like 41ºC. So it’s actually hotter in terms of comfort. Do the same comparison when the surrounding temperature is 38ºC, and the ‘feels like’ goes from 43ºC to over 50ºC! Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioners that use nasty chemical coolants, the JML air cooler only uses evaporation and water to operate!

Reviews

There are many, many more. And in every case, the relationship with humidity is the key. If it is already humid, evaporative coolers do not work and actually make things worse. They cool the inlet air by several degrees. But they send the humidity of that air up considerably, and this cancels out the benefits of the cooling effect when it is very hot. The ‘Heat Index’ is the key detail, as explained above. In the case of the InstaChill, it will add a lot more humidity than the ChillMax, and as I have explained and demonstrated, the ChillMax is bad enough when it comes to increasing the ‘feels like’ temperature. Compact & powerful– It has a compact design but provides the same strong power levels as a full–sized fan. Adjustable 360 Smart-Spin Technology the housing of Chillmax Go Fan is cleverly designed around a similar concept to a gimbal or gyroscopic mechanism used in aerospace, aviation and navigation devices. Able to spin on two independent axes, it means you can position your Chillmax Go Fan through 360 in any direction and at any angle for the perfect, multi-directional stream of cool air. Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery runs for up to 5 hours Lithium Ion batteries don't just give you power, they also mean you can recharge and take that power with you.
