How it Works
Chill Bucket is a portable evaporative cooler. It works by pulling hot ambient air through a water saturated pad; as water evaporates, it absorbs heat and the outgoing air is cooled. There’s no compressor or refrigerant, so power use stays low and the design stays simple.
Stay Cool All Day
Designed to keep you cool all day long. Chill Bucket balances strong, steady airflow with sip-by-sip efficiency, delivering satisfying cooling with the stamina to run up to 24 hours straight in between refills. Just set it and forget it.
Supercharge With Ice
Want an extra chill boost? Add ice and turn a cool breeze into a crisp one. It’s the simplest performance upgrade - great for heat waves, or midday sun. No tricks: drop in a few scoops, power on, and enjoy even colder air instantly.
Where to Use it
Use Chill Bucket wherever heat slows you down:
- Bedrooms for cooler, more comfortable sleep
- Home offices and living rooms for personal comfort
- Garages and workshops while you get things done
- Tents, awnings, vans, and RVs at camp
- Festivals, tailgates, job sites, and backyard hangouts
- In your golf cart to stay cool in between rounds
Chill Anywhere Package
What is Chill Anywhere Package?
Bundle Chill Bucket with our compact portable power station and solar panel for true off-grid cooling. The portable power station runs Chill Bucket at max power for nearly 8 hours.
200 Watt Portable Power Station
Two AC ports deliver up to 200W peak / 100W continuous - plenty to run Chill Bucket with lots of power to spare. 146 watt hours of capacity means you can run Chill Bucket for nearly 8 hours at max power. Keep phones, tablets, and cameras charged with 4 USB ports. An integrated flashlight and lantern add safety and convenience for campsites and outages.
40 Watt Solar Panel
This 40-watt panel supplies more power than Chill Bucket uses, keeping you cool while topping up the portable power station. On its own, it’s a handy charger with 2 USB ports for phones, tablets, and small gear. Foldable, easy to aim, and road-ready.
More About Chill Bucket
What Makes Chill Bucket Better?
Our compact evaporator design leaves more room for water, so you can carry up to 3 gallons where similar evaporative air coolers squeeze in 1 or less for the same cooling power. More water means a 24 hour run time in between refills, and our grab-and-go design makes it the most portable way to stay cool anywhere.
How to Use it
Placement: Place it 3–9 ft from you, with the front aimed in your direction. Keep Chill Bucket a few inches away from walls for good intake.
Indoors: Crack a window or door slightly to let fresh air cycle through.
Outdoors: Light breezes are fine. In stronger wind, the cool air can disperse—shield the airflow (tent, windbreak, wall).
