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

8. JML Chillmax Air Pure Chill Mist- Tiny and Cute, but Cooling Range is Minimal-($53.69)

The JML Chillmax is extremely compact and popular, mostly thanks to heavy TV advertising, but its cooling ability is very limited. At just 7.5 watts, it functions more like a personal mist vaporizer than a real air cooler, offering only a small cloud of cool mist effective within about a meter. It's perfect for adding some humidity and gentle cooling at a desk or bedside, especially for people sensitive to dry air, but won't cool an entire room. The washable silver-impregnated filter helps keep things hygienic, and the soft LED nightlight makes it kid-friendly. If you want a true cooler for larger spaces, this is not it-but as a tiny, quiet desktop gadget, it's fine.
