I was pleasantly surprised that it does still cool the air noticeably even with RH around 70-85%, and the USB cable means that I can keep it running non-stop while I'm working on the PC. I'm very happy with the purchase overall.
If you're going to be out and using it consistently all day, load up with new batteries in the morning and take an extra set. I like this so much that I decided to order a replacement sponge (the one that comes with it advertised to last about a year). Then, you must be certain to dry the sponge completely prior to storage to prevent mildew/mold. If those issues don't bother you, this fan is PERFECT! This (Handy Cooler Portable Air Conditioner) is like my new holy grail. It works so wonderfully and people keep asking me what it is and where I got it. I'm very happy with this product. I got the handy cooler for my husband who works in a car repair garage therefore there is no a/c.
Both units work great and make a big difference. Other fan/sprays are cheaper, but we tried them in the past and they do not work well. I've been use this constantly and I've had no problems with it so far. I've used various desk fans before that I bought from target, Brookstone and home depot, but this really isn't the same them. My hot flashes come on about every 45 minutes, 24/7. I have been told by my doctors this can be expected for the next three years.
I suffer from MS and menopause so when I have to battle with the sun and the heat, I become cranky, sweaty and flustered. I have taken the handy cooler on my travels and I have found that although the device is a little bit chunky, it makes up for its size with the comfy hand strap.
You can buy extra filters to use different aromatherapy oils for each filter. The vent of the fan isn't very big, so don't rely on it to circulate air. Still, this is great fan for portable use and I haven't found anything that works as well for the size and price. For the size it's basically a mini-air cooler that runs off batteries.
I'm so glad I came across this item. How I ever lived without it all those hot grueling spring & summer days I'll never know. The soft cool air it produces is refreshing and with scented oil very soothing. I use this fan every day and cannot imagine being without it now. There is no heavy gust, just a very consistent breeze. I am hoping to open a nail salon soon, and will purchase a few handy coolers first because I can't afford to spend a thousand dollars on a few drying machines.

Should you be looking for any peaceful fan, this is a good option. By trying to rock the fan together with your hand it'll really feel cheap and not sturdy whatsoever. QUIETEST AIR CONDITIONER. Prefer a 12.5 inch 6000 BTU unit, Amazon has got the Frigidaire FAA064P7A for roughly around the same price. I sent them a contact, however they kept quiet. CONSUMER REPORTS AIR CONDITIONERS.
