An air cooler comprising:

• a body having a top portion, a bottom portion, and a middle portion situated between the top and bottom portions;
• a fan disposed in the top portion of the body, the fan including a fan hub and a plurality of fan blades centrally attached to the fan hub;
• a first mister disposed at a first location within the body, the first location being in front of the plurality of fan blades in the top portion of the body;
• a second mister disposed at a second location within the body, the second location being in front of the plurality of fan blades in the top portion of the body, and the second location being different from the first location;
• a first wicking cylinder including a top end portion extending beyond an upper surface of a tank from an inside of the tank, and a bottom end portion positioned inside the tank to be brought into contact with liquid to be absorbed, the first wicking cylinder at least partially coupled to the first mister and configured to supply the liquid to the first mister for dispensing mist;
• and
• a second wicking cylinder including a top end portion extending beyond an upper surface of the tank from an inside of the tank, and a bottom end portion positioned inside the tank to be brought into contact with the liquid to be absorbed, the second wicking cylinder at least partially coupled to the second mister and configured to supply the liquid to the second mister for dispending mist,
• wherein each of the first and second wicking cylinders further includes an upper portion of the cylinder extending beyond an upper outer surface of the tank such that the upper portions and the top end portions of the first and second wicking cylinders are exposed outside the tank.
