Only an idiot would think that this thing would work just proves is a sucker born every minute

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
It's a computer fan blowing over a wet sponge. You can add ice if you want to keep the unit cool. Won't help with room temp. Do not set it on anything you value as it puts out as much water as you put in it. Buy a window unit it's not much louder or more expensive. Would not recommend it to my worst enemy. 😕

I totally agree. I called the company to return it. I asked if they wanted me to return the unit and they said “No”. I told them that I wanted my money back (this was June 2022) and they said it would take 7-10 business days to receive a refund. Since then I have called them 4 times and was told each time that they returned my money. THEY DID NOT! I called my bank and verified that no money from their company had been deposited back on my card. This is so frustrating! Julianne Sullivan

Don’t believe any of the hype surrounding this “AC”…. It is junk. Does not work! I tried it to cool an indoor 5x5 dog kennel area that houses one dog and it didn’t do squat! There was no difference at all that I could feel and the dog couldn’t either.
Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

I bought a Arctos. And I am not friggin impressed. I got better results from a wet towel and a box fan. Never again

So I just bought this thing. I should have researched a few more review sites. Purchasing it was was similar to a combined experience of a slimy car sales man plus a late night info-mercial.
I don’t know why I didn’t listen to my spidey-senses. 🤦🏻‍♀️
We’ll see if it’s any good I guess.
I also knew to begin with that I don’t expect it to cool down an entire room. But it might allow me to set the _AC to a reasonable temp even though my want is to set it to 68 or 65!
So this way, I’m hoping, I can set my AC to 70, elongate my AC’s duration and use the portable AC (close by?) to keep me cool.
I also only bought one— despite their best efforts into banbozaling customers into buying more and “saving more.” Very dishonestly slick.

I bought the ARCTOS AC. When I opened the ARCTOS box an Arctic Air pure chill 2.0 was inside. So I paid 89.00 shipping for the Arctic air 2.0. the same company makes them! In fact it says ARCTOS by Arctic air where it's supposed to say ARCTOS. ONTEL manufactured both of them! Same item two different prices! Scam

I am unable to get my refund company won't return request e-mail come back unable to deliver. I can't believe I fell for this out of $106.81. PayPal won't help. Is there aa place you can report this company to. What else can you do

Piece of junk. I've been getting the refund run around since August 22nd. They even told me to cancel my PayPal dispute which I did. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Report it and dispute with credit card company even if it went through PayPal as long as you used a credit card.
