Dowell ARC-08P Mini Evaporative Air Cooler Features

Dowell ARC-08P Mini Evaporative Air Cooler

The Dowell ARC-08P Mini Evaporative Air Cooler weighs approximately 2.0 lbs. This lightweight AC is perfect as a handheld cooler for either long drives or walks. Now that it has made its way to the market, let’s see what more can the Dowell ARC-08P has to offer.

3-Speed Function Evaporative Cooling

The Dowell ARC-08P Mini Evaporative Air Cooler offers 3-speed fan settings for people who want to enjoy different types of freshness. It can be set to low, medium, or fast cooling and will keep running at the desired speed for approximately 9 hours. It relies on evaporative cooling technology, which most portable mini air coolers have. In layman’s terms, it cools down the surrounding temperature through the evaporation of water.

Water has a large evaporation degree, which means it can absorb large amounts of heat before evaporating. This makes the Dowell ARC-08P energy-efficient, yet it can still work well in a high-humidity environment. However, evaporative cooling technology is not recommended in tropical countries, like the Philippines, because the moisture is too much.

Ergonomic Design

The design of the Dowell ARC-08P also adds to its overall user-friendly features. It is portable and compact, which can fit in any place, and won’t take up too much space. It has a 550 mL refillable water tank and a DC charging port. It can also serve as a desktop cooler, which can be powered via a standard micro USB cable. It also features adjustable louvers or its horizontal blade grills for a better cooling experience.

Adjustable Mood Lights

The Dowell ARC-08P Mini Evaporative Air Cooler has six (6) adjustable mood lights that can either increase productivity or help the users fall asleep easily. The 6-colored LED lights can also be used for outdoor camping. Scientifically, the continuous use of mood lights can help lessen the day-to-day stress brought by the fast-paced world. This feature makes the Dowell ARC-08P more enticing to most buyers since it potentially makes their lives easier.

The reviews on the Dowell ARC-08P are mixed. While many enjoyed the features it offered, most of them are also complaining about the functionality of the product after a few weeks or months of usage.

“My personal experience with the Dowell air cooler is okay, so far. While one post in the said link said she woke up feeling damp, I don’t. I think it’s because of the fact that Dowell has a water receptacle. “
