Does it actually cool the air or is it just a fan? Does it have a sponge that you have to wet or something? Thanks.

I purchased this to be a strong personal fan for myself....as our summers in Hawaii are very hot and extremely humid. As a fan, it is effective. I never noticed that it actually cooled the air. Hope this helps.

I cools the air. I use this fan in my bedroom and I'm very happy with my purchase. JAMES C.

It doesn't reduce the temperature in the room. However, it provides great air flow and makes the room feel cooler.

It's 'just' a fan but it is an excellent fan without a cooling system. I have 2 and they really make an impact on keeping my bedroom and living room cool.

If you are looking for something that will cool the room, this isn't the best thing for that. However it does a great job of removing hair, dust, dander and other particulates from the air. It does circulate the air. I have one in my living room and one blowing on me at night. Keeps me cool.

Only air passes through the diffuser. There is no heat infused. its a a simple fan. I like it

The air moving through it passes through a wet medium. It relies on the furnace fan to move the air.

Yes, Melinda, it's a floor fan. I combine it with my window A/C and there's plenty of cool air for 2 rooms. The remote is great. A timer is on the remote. I love it! Dan

It's a small portable fan that provides a good bit of air as far as keeping then cool it simply circulates the air. It did a nice job for me.

Can't really say what the cooling mechanism is ... but mine has no fan. I have two of these and have been quite happy with them.

Sort of. If it is placed by an open window it will draw in air that is cooled and the fan spreads the cooled air. We use ours as an humidifier, and it still cools. But remember, this is an evaporative cooler -- buy for the size of room.

It's so tiny that it cools (or warms) the person. Yes it has a fan only setting.

The fan cools only as much as a fan would cool the air. It is not an air conditioner. But this fan is taller than most, so it does a much better job of cooling a room, in my opinion.And it absolutely is not noisy, as some reviews stated; also, the blue light doesn't 'light up the whole house' as others have said. We absolutely love this fan. Hopefully you will too.

This cooling fan actually send air out of the front of the fan--you can feel it if you put your hand there. And while quiet, I can still hear my fan.

I haven't had to yet. If you turn water pump off 15 min before you turn the fan off it drys the pad out so it doesn't mold. Its not like a sponge it just looks like cardboard, pad just there to hold water. Its not like a house a/c, its like a fan blowing 75 deg air on you (the feel like temp here 106). Very nice when your in air path.

It's a fan. It sucks the air on one side (the side that the laptop sits on) and blows the air out the other direction. This chill mat is fantastic! Just saying...
