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.

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).
