This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air.

The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy. The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 124 of 130 people found this review helpful. What an absolute piece of garbage. By Jeremy Chadwick There are so many things wrong with this device that I'm surprised I managed to remember it all. Some other reviewers have mentioned are based on them already, but here are the details: You water and / or ice to put on top of the device, you can not with water, where the ice is and vice versa. Where do you pour water over large 3x2-inch (yes, really!), While the surface of the ice is about 7x3 inches. You have literally a funnel or a small plastic tube to fill the unit with water (see below). But it gets worse ... * Simply the biggest weakness: water ice melted / a pipe and literally in the camera! No water tank or a central source for liquids. The entire underside of the device is the "tank" if you can even call it that. * The two cooling elements that contain a kind of cheap coolant in them - make them very beautiful, but here's the problem: they are physically very large cooling packages are dropped to the bottom of the box (where the water is) close to the water. They do not fit in anywhere. * The "door" for packaged cooling is too small for my hand (and I have small hands), thus removing the cooling packages impossible. It took me a good five minutes, using tongs to pick on a plastic packet and remove. The door is held closed with magnets, which is indeed good. But the empty door right into the water "tank", which means that you can fill him aside and not from the top! What were they thinking when they designed this thing? * Water pump is a pump designed for aquariums. If the rear of the unit (what you should do to the water filter cleaning, see below), you can look around and see clearly the "aquarium pump" pump. More aquarium pumps I know are strong, not soft / quiet or buzzing, and because the pump is bolted to the bottom of the unit (which is plastic), I'm thinking of leaving the entire unit should vibrate strongly when turned on makes you question the production quality of this element. * Filling line of water is incorporated into the unit because of the way in which the plastic is molded, it is impossible to read, and it is incredibly important (see above) do not go above a certain fill line. If you go over the line, the water starts to leave the front of the camera and behind the camera (at the bottom where the air filter). * The air filter / gauze on the back is easily removable. However, to clean the water filter, you must remove the 6 screws and proceed to twist / rotate pieces of the plastic bag until you pull the back off. Why are the screws? Why not some plastic retainer, or a clip? Better yet, because the magnets used on the refrigerator door? You can not eliminate completely, because they attributed (permanent) is a bright orange hose connected somewhere within the unit, there is no need to throw your hands to make this work 04/03. * The water filter itself is what looks like nylon, similar to what some people wear clothes in a basket. It's just some cheap fabric with some Velcro on it so you can easily remove half. * Manual should be cleaned the water filter every two weeks. Yes, you get to take the drive that often. Fun for the whole family? * To my great amusement, the time for drainage (if necessary drain the unit) is just behind where the AC power cord is. I am the only one who thinks this is a bad idea? Avoid this product? Of course. I'm wishing I could give negative stars this thing seriously, SPT should be ashamed of any of engineering in this way. I realize it's pretty cheap, but what you get for under a hundred dollars, not even worth 29 out of 29 people found this review helpful. Fine as hell, but not cold by Krys Squires It has everything you want from a fan - timer, three-speed, variable direction.
