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

I 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.
