Overview
Arctic Air Ice Jet X3 is a small personal cooler for your desk, nightstand or travel bag. The seller lists dual mist modes, three fan speeds, adjustable airflow, an LED mood light and up to 8 hours of cooling time.
It's a personal cooler — it cools the air around you, not a whole room.
How it works
Evaporative coolers blow air through water or ice. As water evaporates, the air coming out feels cooler. They work best close to you and in dry, warm conditions; in humid weather the effect is smaller.

Pros and cons
What we like
- Portable and personal, so you cool the space around you
- USB-C power option (per seller)
- Multiple fan speeds and mist modes
Watch-outs
- It's an evaporative cooler, not an air conditioner
- Works best in dry air; less effective in humid weather
- Water tank needs regular refilling and cleaning
How it compares
An air conditioner removes heat and humidity from a whole room. A personal evaporative cooler only cools air close to you, and works best in dry climates. A good desk fan is a cheaper alternative in humid areas.
Care and upkeep
- Empty and dry the tank when not in use
- Clean or replace the filter as instructed to avoid smells
- Use clean water
