This little gadget has become my personal climate control hero. I first used it during a heatwave, filling the tank with ice water - the instant cool mist felt like a mini oasis on my desk. Unlike regular fans that just push hot air around, this actually lowers the temperature noticeably.

The humidifier function surprised me most. During winter when heaters dry out my apartment, I run it without ice cubes as a quiet humidifier. My skin stopped feeling like parchment paper, and I stopped waking up with that awful dry throat.

At night, I use the 4-hour timer with the soft blue light setting - it's become part of my bedtime ritual. The white noise is just loud enough to mask street sounds but not disturb sleep. Pro tip: adding a few drops of lavender oil to the fragrance disc makes it doubly relaxing.

What really won me over was its portability. The USB charging means I've taken it everywhere - from camping trips (hooked to a power bank) to stuffy conference rooms. The strap makes it easy to carry, though I wish it had a sturdier handle.

Is it perfect? No. The water tank could be bigger for all-day use, and the highest fan setting sounds like a small helicopter. But for its size? It outperforms every desktop fan I've tried while doing triple duty as cooler, humidifier and mood light.
