Miallegro 1760 Air Ionizer Tower Fan with Remote Control (Oscillates internally) Review

Miallegro 1760 Air Ionizer Tower Fan with Remote ControlSo initially I had bought this unit and had a bad experience with it. It had just stopped working after a couple of weeks. Surprisingly enough Miallegro is pro-active in helping their customers. They replaced it and shipped it for free. Not only that, but their customer service is actually polite. As we all know, lots of companies have rude customer service. I just had to get that out of the way in case any of you have issues with your fan.

Now onto my review of the product. I was looking for this particular type of fan because the fans that oscillate the entire tower always end up giving me problems. With the inner oscillation, I find it to be more reliable. This 2nd unit has been just that. Also the fan is rather quiet on the low setting. The medium and high settings on the fan move a large amount of air without the annoying loudness that most fans have. Unless you're a light sleeper, you'll be able to sleep with this on. If you have issues with limited floorspace, you'll be pleased to know that this fan takes up an extremely small amount of space for the job it does. Lastly, this fan just looks cool. It's sleek, has that l.e.d. display, and the display slides back to reveal the remote's location.

Overall I'd have to say that I'm quite pleased with this fan. It does the job it's designed to do and it does it well. For being a brand that isn't as well-known as the major brands, in my case it stands above them.

Soleus Air® 12000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner Review

Soleus Air® 12000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air ConditionerThis is in Amazon twice, so I'm reviewing twice.Bought for specs - reasonably met cooling expectations given the conditions in which I use it.Heating was abysmal.Just after warranty expiration the exhaust squirrel cage fan blades disentigrated.Called Soleus to buy a new part.Once thru phonemail hell, the obviously new customer service person, although trying to help, finally found out Soleus no longer sells parts.But, for $45/hr they'll troubleshoot and fix it.Just bring it in.They're in El Monte - I'm not.I believe the cheap plastic fan case warped allowing contact with the blades. Lousy customer support.Because this is manufactured in China I cannot find a replacement unit thru normal channels.So I bought a New Air AC1600H based upon many reviews. Not here yet.Stand by.

SPT SF-611 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Cooling Pad Review

SPT SF-611 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Cooling PadI am generally happy with my air cooler, but only under the conditions I use it.Let me clarify; This is a great SUPPLEMENT to an air conditioner.My bedroom will not cool down, no matter what temperature you set the air conditioner.The air cooler does a nice job of cooling it down up to 5 degrees (with cold tap water).Not to mention the added benefit of the humidity.I could add ice, which would greatly help, but that would be more work and would cause my fridge to output more hot air.(Simple physics - heat exchange.Too bad I don't have a fridge outside.)If you added ice, and your fridge was outside, it could MAYBE be a substitute for an air conditioner for one room, but I have not tried it.

You should buy this product for your room if:
*You already have an air conditioner
*Your house is very dry
*You like/miss humidity (good for sinuses)
*You don't want to put an air conditioner in your window, or another air conditioner in your window. (Big advantage if you rent)
*You want to save electricity (Uses less than air conditioner)
*It does have a remote and a timer which is nice.It also has different speeds which is nice, and includes some other useless buttons.

Keep in mind:
*It will stop working once the humidity gets high.It helps to own a humidistat.For this reason, I use it only at night.Of course, if you own an air conditioner, it will eventually take the humidity out of the air and you can use the air cooler again.
*The water must be changed daily, preferably right before use.(Colder water = better)
*Even if you change the water every day, the pan will have to be cleaned well at least once a month.
*Mine started making an annoying rattling sound for the first few minutes.I can't figure out what the sound is, how it's make, or how to stop it.So, if I am going to sleep, I have to turn it on at least a half hour before.

Product Description:
A versatile and economical way to cool and humidify the surrounding air, this evaporative air cooler, humidifier, and fan easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in the home. Unlike a fan that blows hot air and more energy efficient than an air conditioner, the appliance uses water to cool a personal space up to 12 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. 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. A cool air stream 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.
In addition, the air cooler provides a unique three-dimensional cooling pad for enhanced cooling performance. Made of cellulose paper, it comes treated with special stiffening and wetting agents for maximum water absorption and retention, as well as an anti-rot chemical to prevent algae and bacteria growth. Other details include an LCD panel; three air speeds; three modes of computer-controlled airflows that include Normal, Simulated Natural Wind, and Sleep; a washable filter; a 7-liter water tank; lockable casters; 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 160-watt air cooler measures 14 by 16 by 32-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Central Air Conditioner Covers - Square Review

Central Air Conditioner Covers - SquareGood quality product. Heavy, durable plastic - confident that it will endure a number of cold winters. The elastic in the bottom also felt sturdy. The only negative is that there's no allowance made for a side-fed power cable. This means in practice that you can't pull the cover completely down on all 4 sides. Having said that, it still affords good protection and is worth the money.

Frigidaire FAH106S1T Through-the-Wall 10,000 BTU Air Conditioner Review

Frigidaire FAH106S1T Through-the-Wall 10,000 BTU Air ConditionerJust a note: I am reviewing the AC unit itself and not the vendor mentioned in the other two reviews. FYI: I purchased the AC from Lowes.

The AC works great. I've had it for two years and it has served us well. Very dependable and did a great job cooling the bedroom. Remote looks good but we don't use it at all. Energy Saver works great. The fan also works great on cool days with the windows open.Great through the wall unit.Came back to see if I could find another for the second bedroom as that AC unit conked. It's pretty quiet, at least I found it to be not too loud.
