Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. - plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. The remote control allows you to easily change settings.

TheAir 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.

Note: The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.

Symphony S-Hi-Cool Portable Swamp Cooler Features 200 Sq. Ft. Coverage Area Review

Symphony S-Hi-Cool Portable Swamp Cooler Features 200 Sq. Ft. Coverage AreaI wanted to put an evap cooler in our upstairs bedroom but the window where it would go was too narrow.I checked all the reviews and descriptions I could find on several different web sites and decided to go for this portable unit. It has large water capacity, easy to move, can use as a fan only, add ice for real cool air, easy to add water, is quiet enough we left it on one night while we slept.Fan force good, it really moves the air on "high".Haven't emptied it yet, we have had 100 degree weather so it has been on every day. The "humidity" controller basically just determines how much water flows over the filters.The unit does not cool the room like a window evap unit would, but I do recommend it to take the temperature down 15-20 degrees.I am very glad I purchased this product and if I needed another cooler I would get this one again. It actually isn't too bad to look at either.

Symphony Surround Offers EnvironmentallyFriendly Cooling Review

Symphony Surround Offers EnvironmentallyFriendly CoolingTo replace an aging WhisperCool TF3000, I purchased a Surround early in 2008 from Air & Water, one of two or three Web-only retailers offering the Symphony products in North America at the time.Having acquired AdobeAir in Phoenix, AZ (where I live), their scattered offerings have localized somewhat.Interestingly, AdobeAir Inc. is once again known as IMPCO, the name when founded in 1939 by the Goettl brothers.While not inventing evaporative cooling per se, the brothers brought into being the practical form factor for coolers we recognize as the standard used world wide to cool down the extreme heat of Earth's dry climates.Especially here in the Southwest USA, the Goettls are legendary and now as an Asian company exemplifies the progression of globalization.Find out more at [...].

Back to the cooler...I've owned several portable/mobile coolers over the years and the Surround has the best performance of the bunch.It blows a copious continuous blast of air 17 to 20 degrees F below ambient when humidities are less than 15%.I guestimate its runtime is approaching 3000 hours and has evaporated incalculable thousands of gallons of water.In comparison to the TF3000's draw of 400 watts, on high the Surround draws 80.That I can run it for most of the summer, waiting on the monsoon to use my 3.5 ton rooftop Trane, the Surround has saved me over a $1000.It has held up VERY well, particularly the fan, pump and chassis, considering we have some darned hard water in Arizona.

But living with the Surround hasn't been easy as early on I discovered it was poorly assembled with some sub-standard parts. Disassembly and reassembly is toilsome as two screws are hidden under the trickily fitted control panel (where flimsy wires need careful handling) while some assemblies are held in place by the correct fitting of snap together parts.Until I got the hang of it, three hands were required.And the hang of it I got since opening the Surround has become near-chronic.

It stopped irrigating the "wood wool" pad after about a week of use.I got inside it and discovered metal shavings, plastic sprues and quite a lot of pad debris.Wow.This pretty much clogged things up and a thorough cleaning got the water flowing again.Here I also found a cracked t-fitting for the two irrigation tubes, fixed with a cable tie and aquarium sealant.The padding was sloppily fitted and I tidied that up some.But as time went on the irrigation tubes or humidity valve continued to clog with pad debris.I completely removed the pad and shook vigorously whereupon enough crap fell out to loosely fill a 10 oz. glass.Since then, clogging has diminished but as with any evap cooler, on going cleanup is a necessity.But with the Surround it's more often than not and unnecessarily routine and tedious.However, considering the exceptional performance, the maintenance effort is more than worth it.

Why didn't I return it for an exchange?One, it was highly probable the replacement would have been just as bad.Or worse.Two, had the fixes been beyond my capabilities or unsuccessful, I would have.

And now the nit-picks.The low speed is too high; I could use a slower setting.The casters are better than nothing, but moving a fully filled Surround is tricky on both bare floors and carpeting.On that note, there is no baffling in the tub and water WILL slosh out if you're too abrupt.I found the "humidity control" to be worthless even before the knob broke.The ice door up front is two by one and a half inches - you need to scoop crushed ice with a spoon or jam cubes one at a time.That's ridiculous considering you need a "ton" of ice for about fifteen minutes of three to four degrees cooler air.

The Surround has otherwise convenient features with a pretty and pleasant design.I would like to believe, as a now global enterprise, Symphony has cleaned up its act and quality control has moved beyond... crap.Personally, I would (and probably will) buy another, no questions asked.Even at twice its outstanding price, it is light years ahead of the competition.Right now it's 97 degrees F with 7% humidity and I'm comfy and cool here at my keyboard.

NewAir AF-350 Portable Turbo Evaporative Swamp Air Cooler With True Cellulose PadsMy parents live in Arizona and they constantly complain about the dry heat in the summer.I bought this evaporative swamp cooler for them hoping that it would work (these air coolers aren't really useful for areas with high humidity, but they're supposedly fabulous for really dry places).I had it shipped to my parents and they have been raving about it ever since.It's pretty compact, works really well, and is obviously way less expensive to operate than their central air conditioner.Would definitely recommend this product to others.

ADOBEAIR/COOLERS #P400 Air Port Evap Cooler Review

ADOBEAIR/COOLERS #P400 Air Port Evap CoolerI have owned this for a couple of days now and this thing works just like it's suppose to. I did a test with a digital temperature probe and the air out was 20 degrees cooler than the air in. I do live in an area that has daytime humidity of less than 10% which is great for an evaporative cooler. In my situation it cools a room very well that is approximately 400 square feet.

PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER Review

PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONERAlthough we have come around to liking this product we were initally disappointed in what was sold as a unit that did not need draining.It does need to be drained or it will automatically shut off after an hour and a half usage.We have it on top of a bowl so that it can drain and thus stay on.It cools the room well but is more work than we expected.Just know what you are buying-an air conditioner that is not self draining!

SPT SF-613 LED Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer Review

SPT SF-613 LED Evaporative Air Cooler with IonizerThis unit is the same as the Tayama Air Cooler TC-998 and works as poorly.

Only after filling the entire tray with ice and water chilled overnight does this thing have any cooling effect and even than, it's only for an hour or so.

Anything less then ice and ice water will do nothing more than generate humidity and waste power.

Save your money and buy a real AC unit for supplemental cooling.

Click Here to see more reviews about: SPT SF-613 LED Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer

Product Description:
Designed with micro-computer controls, this versatile and economic air cooler, humidifier, fan, and air filter with ionizer can lower the surrounding temperature and add humidity to the air through the principle of water evaporation. Using much less energy than an air conditioner, the air cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat). The unit 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--considerably cooler than the current room temperature--then gets blown out the front of the unit through oscillating louvers for even distribution. The appliance can also be used as just a fan or a humidifier when temperature is not an issue. Easily change the settings with the included remote control. Other highlights include an LED panel; three air speeds; a washable filter; a double-layered filtration mesh water curtain; locking casters for smooth mobility; and a timer that can be set from a half hour to seven-and-a-half hours. Though perfect for use in dry climates, please note that the appliance does not work very effectively in areas with high humidity since it utilizes water to cool. The 60-watt air cooler measures 11-1/2 by 14-1/2 by 31-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - EdgeStar Review

8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - EdgeStarSo, I live in a studio. Not verybig at all. You would think this air conditioner would be able to handle keeping it cool. Well, not so much.

Regardless of how low I set it, or how long I kept it running, it kept my studio at 78 degrees. It was actually a better deal to shut it off, open the windows/door and let the air circulate. It actually got cooler in there once I did that.

Moreover, the hose you connect to the window vent is an eye sore, and isn't flexible enough to let your place the unit somewhere convenient. So you end up having to leave the A/C unit in the middle of the room instead of neatly in a corner or against the wall because the vent hose doesn't allow otherwise.

This is pretty much the worse purchase I have made in a LONG time. Worse of all, it doesn't even make sense for me to return it. The seller charges as 12% "re-stocking fee". Moreover, I would need to carry the huge 70+lbs box up and down stairs to get it back to my work so UPS can pick it up. The box is very flimsy once you remove the nylon ribbons that it comes sealed with, and doesn't really allow you to transport it without spending some money on repackaging.

So yeah, I'm stuck with a $300 70+lbs paper weight. Good times.

[EDITED 07/30]: So I was contacted by the seller (CompactApplience) and their conclusion was that my studio was too big for the 8,000 BTU rating. They actually let me return just the A/C unit without having to worry about packing all the awkwardly-shaped pieces, and reimbursed me for everything, including shipping. Although I've decided NOT to try a different unit with a greater BTU rating, I'm leaving this review here so that hopefully people looking into buying this or any other unit are aware of the importance of considering the size of the room you're trying to cool down when you choose the unit BTU. I was remotely aware of that, but didn't look too much into it, and you saw what happened... Luckily for me, the seller handled the situation superbly well. A happy ending, after all. :)
