Patented, air cooling technology in a small portable device
Similar to large air cooling units and swamp coolers, the Handy Cooler utilizes the principles of 'evaporative cooling'. To activate the air cooler, you simply need to wet the included cellulose cooling filter and Handy Cooler will do the rest.
The turbine draws air through the moistened filter, directing the cool air onto you. The process transforms uncomfortable hot air into a cool breeze (up to 30°F cooler) that refreshes and satisfies you.
The cooling performance may not be as powerful as compressor-based air conditioners, but if you are looking for a lightweight and portable solution to take around anywhere, evaporative cooling is the only option!
NOTE: Optimum cooling performance achieved under hot and dry environments.
High-quality design in a stylish and functional casing
Special care was taken to ensure that the Handy Cooler design looks as good as it performs. The ergonomic grip is comfortable to use all day in hand-held mode, with a special texture for improved sensation; the padded hand strap keeps the unit secure and prevents slippage. The high-quality plastics used are strong for durability, while maintaining lightweight properties to prevent fatigue. We designed this to encourage you to take Handy Cooler with you wherever you need it – carry it easily in a purse or sports bag while on the go.
Unlike knockoff imitations, Handy Cooler’s precision components ensure proper function. In contrast to the knockoff replicas, our cellulose cooling filter is designed to fit tightly in its casing – without any gaps that may cause air leakage or reduced cooling capability. Our cellulose cooling filters are treated with an anti-bacterial compound to ensure your health when using the device. Filter replacements are shrink wrapped to guarantee freshness and unmatched quality.
This is not a misting fan, neither you nor your clothing will get wet. No pumping is required, Handy Cooler is fully automatic.
User friendly – only seconds needed to begin to enjoy the cooling effects
Handy Cooler is easy to use and specially designed to be ready at a moment's notice to provide you with cool, fresh, and clean air. The humidified airflow is also great for your skin and may be helpful for those who suffer from asthma or chronic breathing ailments.
Handy Cooler – Cools air, cools you, anywhere.
NOTE: Requires water to be added every 1-2 hours. Unit will still operate as a normal fan (without cooling function) without water. Battery duration lasts approximately 4 hours at max power.

I've had the handy cooler for just over a year now and so far I really like it. It's been lying under my bed for the whole winter, but now the heat is back and I've brought it back in action.
What I liked:
- The design. Looks good. Feels good. I like the swivel vent head too.
- Portability. I bring it around to classes, work and around home.
- Performance. Cools like a charm.
- Size and weight.
What I would like to see improved:
- Rechargeable lithium battery option. The unit is not capable of recharging batteries. However, I recommend getting 4 rechargeable batteries, and charge them with battery docks. It'll cost you $40+ but will save you on the long run.
- Longer cooling duration.
- a longer USB cord!
It's a nice little fan with a twist, but be sure to stock up on batteries.
Ahhhhhh...
The Handy Cooler appears to be well built. The fan is very quiet. You can put the unit on a desk or tabletop, and it will blow a nice stream of cool air at you.
I like the way you can rotate the air head ninety degrees, giving you greater flexibility in positioning the unit. I also like the little water bottle they give you, which holds two "recharges". Yes, they have figured out how much water you can add to keep cool without water dribbling from the unit. They figure you can go from thirty minutes to three hours on a "full" sponge, depending on your environment.
I have told the company that makes the Handy Cooler that they need to introduce a shoulder holster, so you can wear it around and use it hands-free. In the meantime, I am going to see if I can rig up some sort of shoulder sling or something that will suit this purpose.
At any rate, if you hate the heat, the Handy Cooler is the real deal -- cool relief to go. HIGHLY recommended.
My only gripe, as another customer commented, is the high UPS shipping charge. A lower-cost USPS shipping option would be welcome...
And yes, I use NiMH rechargeable batteries, and they last for hours on a charge. Ahhhh...
Honestly, I wish it were less expensive, but the build quality is solid enough that I think it'll survive until I get back, and that's really all that counts.
I have two complaints, however. For one thing, it needs to be re-watered every half hour or forty five minutes. Read more
