Evapolar evaSMART
Desk Cooling, Bedside Cooling, Campervan and Van Life, Small Office Cooling, Dry Climate Comfort, Night-time Sleeping, Power Bank Cooling
Overview
The Evapolar evaSMART is the flagship of Evapolar's personal evaporative cooler line: a 207 mm cube that pulls room air through a water-soaked evaBREEZE volcanic-material cartridge and returns it up to 10-12°C cooler while humidifying and purifying it, covering a 2.5-3.5 m² personal zone. It is the largest model in the range with a 1300 ml removable tank (4-9 hours per refill), and the only one with app and voice control, energy-use tracking, a full-spectrum LED light and a sleep timer. Still the top of the 2026 lineup at $168 (list $280), it draws just 12.5W over USB-C and can run from a power bank, making it the pick for dry-climate desks, bedside tables and van builds where a freon air conditioner is impractical.
Key Highlights
- Evapolar's largest and smartest personal evaporative cooler: a 1300 ml tank, 55.1 CFM airflow and a 2.5-3.5 m² cool zone for a desk, bedside table or campervan, versus 800 ml on the evaCHILL
- Cools, humidifies and purifies in one pass through the evaBREEZE volcanic-material cartridge - up to 10-12°C (18-22°F) off the outgoing air in dry conditions, with no mist, no refrigerant and no exhaust hose
- Smart control done properly: touchscreen and control wheel on the unit, app over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with energy-use and savings tracking, plus Alexa and Google voice commands
- Runs on 12.5W over USB-C and can be fed from a laptop or power bank, so it works on a desk, in a van or on a patio where a compressor AC cannot go
- Full-spectrum LED light with colour presets, night mode and a sleep timer make it a bedside-friendly device, and the removable tank plus replaceable cartridge keep maintenance tool-free

| Airflow (CFM) | 55.1 CFM volumetric flow rate; aimed at the user rather than the room |
| Tank Capacity | 1300 ml removable water tank; refill every 4-9 hours depending on fan speed, humidity and water temperature |
| Cooling Pad | Replaceable evaBREEZE cartridge (volcanic material), 3-6 months life depending on water hardness, air quality and daily use; cartridge is included with the unit |
| Fan Speeds | Continuously adjustable fan speed from the touchscreen and control wheel, also via the mobile app and voice assistants; number of fixed presets is not published; no target-temperature or humidistat setting |
