I take back what I said about the Chillmax Air being just OK yesterday.

It's by night (or sleep time) that it is absolutely fantastic, last night I put it on a chair at the end/side of the bed and had a great sleep with it mildly blowing cool (not dry) air over me on the medium (2) setting, as fer the noise level, you would want to be listening to hear it.
As fer it dripping water, the only water drips were from me clumbsily filling the water tray.
As fer the ice in the water tray, I tried that, didn't make much difference, but seemingly it is important to use cold refridgarated water.
Fer 50 notes, I would highly recommend it.
