8 Air Coolers to Avoid: What Could Hold You Back in 2025

1. Princess Smart-Watch Out for the Tiny Water Tank-($174.5)

While the Princess Smart air cooler boasts impressive airflow and a compact, lightweight design, its small water tank is a real limitation. With only 3.5 liters of capacity, you’ll find yourself refilling it more often than you might like—especially if you want continuous cooling through a hot night. Plus, the included ice packs are also quite small, meaning the extra cooling boost they offer won’t last long. If you’re a light sleeper, be aware that its ‘sleep’ mode cycles the cooler on and off, which could interrupt your rest. The fancy app and voice controls are nice but feel a bit unnecessary for the price. So, if you want hassle-free, long-lasting cooling without constant refills or interruptions, this might not be your best bet.
