Product Information

Remember that the reason you even found this article was probably because it’s over 30 ºC outside – the more above that it is, then the more hits I get.

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. 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.

As I’ve already explained, the Chillmax works by evaporating water on fibrous panels by forcing air across them. The Chillmax Air uses the evaporative cooling effect of water, and this is much less than with ether – similar to sweat, in fact.

Chillmax Air Pure Chill 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 three speed settings. Chillmax Air Pure Chill gives you the best features of both a fan and an air conditioning unit in one compact unit. So in a small room, you could easily increase the ‘ambient’ RH without any cooling at all, and that will make it feel even hotter. These are the data for relative humidity recorded at the same time as the temperature measurement, above (the red line is where I moved the logger).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, muggy nights. Put the filter in the freezer for a while and fill with ice cubes and water for extra chilling Function lights are quite bright and could disturb sleep so I had to cover them over with a piece of card but even then there was light leakage.

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. If you’ve ever used a normal desk fan you will know that you only feel cooler if you’re sweating a bit. I am an idiot for things like this, and bought it on impulse so I could test whether it worked or not. Do the same comparison when the surrounding temperature is 38ºC, and the ‘feels like’ goes from 43ºC to over 50ºC! This efficient air dehumidifier creates an ideal moisture setting for the entire family, ensuring a good environment.The ambient temperature where I ran the test was about 29ºC (this was just before the 2019 heatwave kicked in properly).

Chillmax Air Pure Chill uses a better, improved fan, built within its sound-protective casing, to distribute the cool air in your direction.

And just like when it’s foggy outside, and everywhere gets damp, this water vapour can condense on cooler surfaces. 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.Chillmax Air's compact and lightweight design means you can enjoy cool fresh air anywhere from the bedside to the office. If you test it when it’s only 20 ºC outside – as many of these people have – then yes, it blows noticeably cooler air at you. 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.
