I’ve seen a few people asking about ways to stay cool without running a full AC all day, so I thought I’d share what I found while researching small personal coolers.
One name that keeps coming up is EpiCooler. It’s not an air conditioner in the traditional sense — it’s more of a personal evaporative cooler. You fill it with water, and it pushes air through a cooling filter to give a cooling effect around your desk or bed area.
From what I understand, it’s meant for close-range use only, not for cooling entire rooms. That said, it seems useful if you’re working at a desk, sleeping in a small room, or just want some airflow without a big electricity bill.
Obviously results depend a lot on humidity and expectations, but for spot cooling it looks like a reasonable option. I found some details here if anyone wants to read more:

Curious if anyone here has actually used one and how it worked for them.
