Froza AC Review: A Personal Air Cooler That Actually Drops the Temperature at Your Desk?
Froza AC
Central air is expensive to run and window units are ugly and loud. Froza is a small evaporative cooler that sits on a desk or nightstand and cools the space right around you. I used it through a heat wave in a home office.
What it is
A compact, USB-powered air cooler with a water tank and a replaceable cooling cartridge. It blows air across a wet filter to cool and add moisture, with adjustable fan speeds and a night light.
How it works
Evaporative cooling: air passing over water loses heat. It does not chill a whole room like an air conditioner, but the air coming out is noticeably cooler than the room, and aimed at you it makes a real difference.
The verdict
Set expectations correctly and it delivers. It is a personal cooler, not a room AC. For a desk, a bedside, or an RV it is quiet, cheap to run and easy to refill.
What we liked

- Quiet on low
- Adds humidity in dry rooms
What to keep in mind
- Will not cool an entire room
- Needs refilling every few hours
- Less effective in very humid climates
Frequently asked questions
Is it a real air conditioner?
No. It is an evaporative cooler for personal space. It cools the air blowing on you, not the whole room.
How long does a tank last?
Several hours on low, less on high.
Does it work in humid weather?
Evaporative cooling works best in dry air. In very humid rooms the effect is smaller.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, it is sold with a money-back guarantee.
