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? 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. 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). The humidity went up dramatically – a jump of about 30%RH. At lower temperatures the Chillmax will produce a slight net cooling effect. But if the air temperature is above about 30ºC (and 50%RH) – which isn’t excessively hot or humid to start with, though it is around the point where you would start thinking about cooling things down – it’ll actually make you feel warmer. And if it is already humid outside, you’ll feel hotter still. Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41

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. 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. As an example, if the air temperature is 30ºC and 50%RH, it will feel like 31ºC, but if the humidity goes up to 80%RH, then it will feel like 38ºC – even though the thermometer still tells you it’s 30ºC.

Evaporative coolers are a big risk with the humidity we experience in the UK. And especially indoors. 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’.

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. 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 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.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.

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 360⁰ in any direction and at any angle for the perfect, multi-directional stream of cool air. Rechargeable lithium ion battery runs for up to 5hours 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! Compact & powerful– It has a compact design but provides the same strong power levels as a full–sized fan. Another example. If the air temperature is 35ºC, at 50%RH it will feel like 41ºC, but send the humidity up to 80%RH and it’ll feel like 57ºC – even though the thermometer still reads 35ºC. Easy–to–use power dial– Gives you full control over the amount of cool air created and how much energy is needed. From a light blow of air to a full blast, you can decide which to use.
