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! 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!
The ambient humidity in the room where I did the test was about 44%RH. The Chillmax sent that up to over 70%RH. It is this elevation of the humidity of the cooled air which really brings into question whether the Chillmax is worth the investment. The calculation for this is complex (you should see how long my Excel formula for it is). It is non-linear, and the increase in ‘feels like’ is greater at higher temperatures. It also contains an element of opinion/perception, which is why there’s no point using numbers above about 60ºC. But the ‘Heat Index’ is what forecasters use. Incidentally, the official health designations for the colours are: yellow – caution; amber – extreme caution; orange – danger; and red – extreme danger. Vulnerable people need to take these into consideration before going out in hot weather. 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. 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.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 air did seem a little cooler compared with what my desk fan was blowing at me, but it also felt ‘softer’ – that’s very important, and I’ll explain later. But the big question was how much cooler was the exhaust air? For the following locations next day delivery may take up to two working days: Aberdeen (AB 30-35, 41-54), Northern Highlands (AB 36-38, 55-56), FK (17-21), HS (1-8), IV (All), KW (0-14), PH (15-32, 34-48), Eire (Republic of Ireland) (EI (ZZ75) (All)), Glasgow (G 83), Guernsey (GY 9), Oban (HS 9, KA 28, PA 20-99, PH 33, 49-99), Isle of Man (IM (All)), Arran (KA 27), Orkney Shetland (KW 15-99, ZE (All)) and Cornwall (TR 21-25). This 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 Chillmax Air gives you the best features of both fans and air conditioning in one, compact unit that's also a night light. Unlike fans that just move warm air around your room, or air conditioning units that cost the earth, make a lot of noise and use ozone-destroying chemical coolants to cool the air but leave it dry, Chillmax Air sprays a fine mist that is then sent through the special filter and so only uses evaporation and water to operate! Adjustable three-speed whisper-quiet fan Early in July 2019, I saw the Chillmax Air advertised on TV in one of those shouty JML ads. That same evening, I was shopping in Asda and saw it on display. I am an idiot for things like this, and bought it on impulse so I could test whether it worked or not.
Evaporative coolers are a big risk with the humidity we experience in the UK. And especially indoors. I fired up my trusty data logger and left it in front of my desk fan for 30 minutes for the control data. Then I powered up the Chillmax and moved the logger in front of it for the same period of time. This is what it recorded (the red line is where I moved it). 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. INCREASED POWER WITH 3 FAN SETTINGS: Chillmax Air Pure Chill uses a better, improved fan, built within its sound-protective casing, to distribute the cool air in your direction. And with three settings, you can have the perfect amount of cool, moist air for whatever the weather throws at you, day or night!The Chill Max value will match the peak refresh rate. For example: 60 FPS on a 60Hz display, and 144 FPS on a 144Hz display. 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.
