It’s really not that powerful, at all. The air blows out a little cold, but no where near what you would expect for the price of it. It’s extremely big, I mean, it’s good to have, but I think you could by better with your money.

Hi Mamets,
Thank you for your review and we are so sorry to hear that you've encountered issues with the Instachill....
Read more The InstaChill will work in all areas but the degree of cooling you get depends on the humidity level at the time. Generally speaking an evaporative cooler stops providing a cooling change when humidity is 85% or above. Instachill comes with a Humidity Control function which is an important feature because evaporative coolers are not effective above 85% relative humidity. This feature automatically stops adding moisture to the air when it detects this level in the room and will turn the Cool function back on when the room humidity drops to 70%. Further, regarding the rattling noise of the cooler, may we kindly request for you to provide us with a video showing this issue in order for us to assess the unit? You may email it to [email protected] using the subject line REVIEW together with your Order #. Rest assured, as soon as we receive the video, we will address this issue accordingly and provide you with the best resolution. Kind regards Customer Services Team- 2 reviews
I purchased 2 Instachills from the TV shop at a cost of $599.00
When they arrived i opened one and set it up with cool water, set all the nessessary settings and it didnt cool the room as advertised, i waited and waited for hte room to cool down however it remained hot and stuffy, this product does not perform as described to say the least !
The motor is loud
Not a good product
Returned both Instachills at my cost of $185.00
Not happy, do not buy this product !

Bought two units. I have run for 1 month now and they are useless. Walked out of room being cooled and same temp (testing conducted in similar manner over 10 times on different hot days). Even placed chilled water in the reservor as suggested by supplier. Buy a good fan - just as good. Wasted over $600. ACCC needs to deal with the suppliers (false marketing/advertising).

This instachill works quite well on days where the temperature is around 20-25 Celsius, it has a cooling effect and can last up to 15 hours without refilling water. However on days when the Instachill needs to be used during heatwaves or humid weather, it will provide no relief at all, you will still need an Air Conditioner in your home to do most of the work. Take this sort of as a 2nd device that assists the AC in helping your home keep cool. Lastly, this is better than most fans, so i will give it a 3 stars. In terms of value for price, you're better off buying a portable air conditioner. Also the loud sound is quite satisfying, i like to sleep with it on all night

I bought a medium Insta chill deal from TV. They did arrived and there was 2 of them. They are terrible, terrible if terrible. They are not cooling anything, louder than a factory fan and the price is expensive as heck $799 for 2 piece of chunk that are worse than my Mini 50CM fan. Scam alert

I have just been looking at the advert on the shopping channel for the InstaChill and thought I would look up some reviews as I thought this could be just what I needed to cool off. So glad you have this site as I have just saved myself $500 and a lot of grief and regret in buying this product.

Hi KERRIANNJOHNSON,
We respect your feedback based on the reviews of the Instachill. But we also get a lot of great reviews from our customers who have purchased the Instachill. We have quite a number of retailers who sell this product as well....

Humidity level changes during the day with the humidity level decreasing as the temperature increases. One of the best things about the Instachill is that it comes with a Humidity Control function which is an important feature because evaporative coolers are not effective above 85% relative humidity.

It also works best in a well ventilated area so you get fresh air all the time. The Instachill also comes with an Anion and Mosquito Repeller feature. The Anion feature adds Negative ions to the water to remove impurities from the air and inhibit bacteria growth in the water whilst the Mosquito Repeller uses an Ultra-high frequency emitter to repel mosquitos.

Advertisement claims it uses same power as a lightbulb. Look up the specs and you’ll see it runs on 230W.
Typical lightbulb is 60W.
Ad also shows it being demonstrated in an already air-conditioned shopping centre.
What a scam.

the demonstration of this unit inside a shopping centre is deceptive.The centre is air conditioned to 22 degrees,so that unit with people standing in front of it saying how cold it is,is blowing out the cold air provided by the centres air conditioning then going through the water in the instachill.So naturally it is going to be cold air.They should stop advertising this product in this manner.

Read more Kind regards Customer Services TeamI have been using my Instachill 09EX-V2 for 2 years and all that I have to do
is fill it with 10 litres of cool tap water and then I top it up with 1 litre of icy cold
water from my fridge every few hours. But I dont understand that on your youtube
instruction videos you say to use 10 litres of icy cold water.But this is impossible
because my fridge can not produce 10 litres of icy cold water.So to compromise I
just add icy cold water every few hours. But thankyou for such a wonderful air cooler
and I just brought a second one for my bedroom.
