The Chillwell AC is not an AC unit as they claim. The so-called portable AC unit is a swamp cooler. I ordered 2 Chillwell AC units and the units I received were not battery-powered as advertised, but had to be plugged in to operate. In addition, they operated on "water curtains" which had to be filled with water and then placed in the freezer before inserting into the unit, rather than filling the unit with water as advertised.
Once inserted in the unit, the frozen water curtains lasted only about 30 minutes before they needed replacement, & the cooling effect was not adequate. I called customer service for a return authorization and refund and was informed that I would not be refunded the return postage even though the product was not as advertised. I would not recommend purchasing Chillwell AC Portable Air Conditioner.

Waste of money. Inquired how to return it for full refund as advertised but that is a lie. It has to be in the original unopened packaging so how would you know it is worthless if it was never used? It does not cool; the water tank is empty after 2 1/2 hours after spritzing humidifier air into a room that does not cool. Scam
J’aI commandé un chilwell 2.0 il y à 24 h et je n’aI toujours pas reçu de confirmation de commande est-ce que cela veux dire qu’en plus de m’avoir fait arnaquer ils m’ont aussI voler mon argent?I ordered a Chilwell 2.0 24 hours ago and I still haven't received an order confirmation does this mean that in addition to having me scammed they also stole my money?
CHILLWELL is a HORRIBLE product. Didn't work properly right out of the box after following directions exactly. Only one side provided misting, the other side didn't. For almost$100–Unacceptable.I contacted customer service who offered me $30 to keep it. When I responded that I'm still left paying $70 for your product that doesn't work, they offered me 50% off for the broken product.They Advertise that you can return it within 60 days for a full money back guarantee less shipping and handling if you are completely unsatisfied for a 60 day money back guarantee.Then they said you can return it but the fine print many pages in says you can return only if unused and in original packaging. How would I know it doesn't work unless I used it?So, my bad for believing their sponsored 5 star reviews on their website end on every other Google site where there are named comes up.if you look at those sponsored websites it. Says that it's number one rated. There is no place on their website that allowed me to provide a review.The kid who invented this is going to make his millions with this inferior product and then you'll never see it again.
ChillWell is a scam and does not work, reporting to attorney general office for bad products
I ordered. Chillwell and it did not work. I was sent a replacement which worked for about a month and it has stopped working. This AC is a piece of . . .! Don’t waste your money!
Paid half but everything else is extra, charger? is separate wtf. Not only did I get screwed big time they overcharged me a little over 15$. Once again wtfAgree with the reviews. Spent an hour trying to get them on the phone.Read reviews. Put it up for future laff. Just like the Ford Pinto in 75 hope I don't get it stuck to me a 3rd time.I'm getting too old for this SH$T
Thank you for exposing this scam. As I suspected, this is yet another "revolutionary" device that is, in reality, is just another glorified mini-swamp cooler like so many flooding the market today. Larger swamp coolers cool by blowing air across water in copper tubes, but the drawback is the humidity produced by this process. 60 years ago, when I was growing up in Northern California, larger swamp coolers worked very efficiently and cheaply because of the extremely dry climate The minI version, however is probably just too small to be effective. Even if this or any mini-swamp cooler did actually work as the scammers claim, swamp coolers of any sort would never be desirable in the hot, humid climates like we have in the southern states of the US.
Years ago, I purchased what was known a air cooler. It resembled an air conditioner but worked on pouring water into the unit container with ice cubes recommended. The result was that it did not cool at all just sent out water spitting out the front vents of the unit. Chillwell is just a small version of it. The cheaper way to do this is place Ice cubes in a tray in front of a fan.
