Our Verdict

Arctic Air Chill Zone

Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0

The Arctic Air Chill Zone is the better humidifier than the Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0. It puts out considerably more moisture, likely due to its ultrasonic humidification working alongside the evaporative cartridge. Both are marketed as personal air coolers and humidifiers, though neither is likely to provide much relief if you need to cool down quickly. The Pure Chill 2.0 lasts much longer between refills, so it needs less attention during extended use.
