Review of Port-A-Cool PACKA70 KuulAire Portable Evaporative Cooler With Automatic Swinging Louvers

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit to cool a small area in my basement because there are no windows down there to vent a air conditioner.I didn't think a company would sell me a fan for 200.00!!! I'm so "HOT" right now(pun intended). According to the description you would be led to believe that this unit is a bit more than a fan. There is absolutely no need for this product, it is absolutely unneccasary.It's less than a fan! A fan covers more area than this box of nothing.It is described as an air cooler that can handle approx 150 square feet.That's a lie! I called the company and they told me that depending on where you live it might not work! If you are in the market for something more than a fan this is not the product for you.The sad thing is I paid extra for shipping and I have to pay to send it back to them I'm gonna be out of 73 bucks!!!.Choose wisely.

Review of NewAir AF-321 Portable Evaporative Swamp Air Cooler With Built-In Air Purifier

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Room cools a 15 x 20 ft. room plus attached bathroom nicely. I am in a fairly dry desert climate and it is cheaper and more effective than A/C.
Need to refill every day or two with a couple gallons of H2O and it also has an ICE TRAY you can add ice cubes to that helps cool a little more.
Will buy another if the need arises.

Review of NewAir AF-330 Portable Evaporative Swamp Air Cooler with Built-In HEPA Air Purifier

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The AF-330 NewAir Evaporative Swamp Cooler with Special HEPA Air Purifier is a pretty good swamp cooler with just a couple of flaws.As with all swamp coolers, it isn't going to make your room feel air conditioned, but in dry climates, it is good to sleep with it blowing over you, or it is good to get raise the humidity levels somewhat.Now for the good stuff first about this unit.

For starters, the 13-liter water tank means that you won't have to fill it as often.Most portable swamp coolers I've owned only had a 10-liter tank which means they don't last more than 8-hours on "cool."There's also an ice tray to add ice for additional cooling effect.

Next on the plus list are the air filter system.In addition to the standard foam filter, it comes with a HEPA filter and a carbon filter.Combined with the ION setting, this really seemed to make an improvement in air quallity.After a month of use, I haven't noticed the normal "swamp stench" that swamp coolers usually get.I don't know if those filters are the reason or not, but there you go.

The fan is much more powerful than any previous portable swamp cooler I've owned.Even at the low setting, the fan works pretty good when sleeping in front of it.

The controls are pretty standard.You get the 1-8 hour timer, oscillating louver control, 3 fan speeds, "cool" function (to activate the swamp cooler function), and ION control.The unit comes with a handy remote control which handles all features, which is great for controling the unit while in bed. ^_^

There were two negatives.The biggest is adding water to the tank.The portable swamp coolers I've owned before have had a convienent port on the side of the unit were one can add a gallon of water to the tank in a few seconds.This unit has no such port.Instead, water has to be added to the top of the unit where a small section is partitioned off from the ice tray to add water.As such, it only holds a small amount of water and the drain into the tank isn't very large.So it can take a couple of minutes to empty a gallon of water into the tank.That's pretty tedious, especially when you are tired and just want to go to sleep.

The other problem I had was with the documentation.As you note, the product description proudly mentions the carbon filter.The box the unit comes in proudly mentions this.And a carbon filter comes sealed with the unit.Initially, I thought that maybe this was some sort of water filter since I've used carbon filters for fish tanks and for water pitchers.However, there is NOTHING in the documentation that says anything about the carbon filter.The regular foam air filter and the HEPA filter are mentioned, but that's it.Since it didn't seem to obviously go into the water tank (that is a bit of a pain to get to) and it did fit the back panel where the air filters are, I put it back there.But does it go before or after the HEPA filter?Some documentation would have been nice.

The final negative about the unit is purchasing replacement filters.I found none on Amazon's site. Air & Water, the company from which the unit actually came, has a website, and while ordering the unit directly from them gives you the option to purchase additional filters, their website has no place to just purchase replacement filters.That's pretty stupid if you ask me.

Bottom line: There are many good things about this swamp cooler to include the HEPA filter, carbon filter, larger water tank, ION feature, and greater fan power.The lack of a good water input port, no information about the carbon filter, and a lack of ease to aquire replacement filters weren't enough to stop me from giving this an overall "buy" recommendation.

Review of SPT SF-610 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are so many things wrong with this unit that I'm surprised I've managed to remember them all.Some other reviewers have touched base on them already, but here are the details:

* You put water and/or ice in the top of the unit; you cannot put water where the ice is and vice-versa.The area where you pour water into is about 3x2 inches in size (yes, really!), while the area for ice is about 7x3 inches.You literally need a funnel or a small plastic tube to fill the unit up with water (see below).But it gets worse...

* Easily the biggest flaw: the water/melted ice goes down a tube and literally into the casing of the unit!There is no water tank, or centralized hold for liquids.The entire bottom of the unit is the "tank", if you can even call it that.

* The two cooling packs provided contain some sort of cheap coolant liquid inside of them -- they do cool quite well, but here's the problem: they'rephysically too large.The cooling packs are dropped into the bottom of the casing (where the water is), right into the water.They don't mount inside anywhere.

* The "door" for the cooling packs is too small for my hand (and I have small hands), which makes removing the cooling packs impossible.It took me a good 5 minutes using a pair of plastic pliers to grab a pack and remove it.The door is held shut with magnets, which is admittedly nice. But the door empties right into the water "tank", which means you might as well fill it up from the side and not the top!What were they thinking when they engineered this thing?!

* Water pump is a pump intended for aquariums.If you open up the back of the unit (which you have to do for water filter cleaning; see below), you can peek inside and see quite clearly printed on the pump "AQUARIUM PUMP". Most aquarium pumps I know are loud, not soft/quiet nor do they hum; and because the pump is screw-mounted to the bottom of the unit (which is plastic), I'm left thinking the entire unit must vibrate heavily when powered on.This makes you question the production quality of this item.

* Water refill line is recessed deep inside the unit due to how the plastic casing is molded; it's impossible to read, and it's incredibly important (see above) to not go above a certain fill line.If you go above the line, water will start to come out of the front of the unit, and the rear of the unit (bottom of where the air filter starts).

* The air/lint filter on the back is easily removable.However, to clean the water filter, you must remove 6 screws and proceed to wiggle/wobble plastic pieces until you pull the back of the unit out.Why screws?Why not some retention plastic, or a clip?Better yet, why not magnets like the ones used on the coolant door?You cannot remove it entirely, because attached to it (permanently) is a bright orange hose connected somewhere within the unit; it has no slack.You need 3-4 hands to do this job.

* The water filter itself is what looks to be nylon webbing, identical to what some people use in a clothes hamper.It's just some cheap mesh with some Velcro on it so you can remove it semi-easily.

* Manual states you must clean the water filter every 2 weeks.Yup, you get to disassemble the unit that often.Fun for the whole family?

* Much to my amusement, the drainage spout (if you need to drain the unit) is directly behind where the AC power cord is.Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?

Should you avoid this product?Absolutely.I'm left wishing I could give this thing negative stars; seriously, SPT should be ashamed for engineering something like this.I realize it's somewhat inexpensive, but what you get for under a hundred US dollars isn't even worth it.

Product Description:
Relax in refreshing cool air in any room of your home or office. The SPT Evaporative Air Cooler rolls easily from room to room, shooting a stream of cool air using oscillating louvers that evenly distribute the air. It sucks air through a water-saturated wick. As the air flows through the wick, some water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the room temperature. Since the 3-speed Air Cooler is not an air conditioner, it uses less energy. You can also use it as a humidifier or a fan and still get the ionic air purifier's cleaning benefits. Use the remote control to change settings. Best used in dry climates or open spaces. Leave the window or door open when humidity or temperature rises in the room. Add as much ice as possible, and set the unit near you for best effect. Runs very quietly. 10-liter water tank. 120 volts. 60 watts. 12 x 9.45 x 28.4 inches. 17 pounds. Limited 1-year warranty.

Review of Unistar 4-in-1 Swamp Cooler with Ionic Air Purifier, DF268.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)pros:
- saves you in energy bills since it can cool the room instead of using the ac
- filters are washable
- the included remote gives you controls even in bed
- the 30 min interval timer feature is great specially when it gets too cold at night

cons:
- the ionizer feature is more of a display light than anything
- needs a weekly maintenance. water mineral builds up at the bottom, if you let it sit for more than a week, taking it out posts a problem.
- if you even find the time to actually clean the insides of the fan and and take out the dusts and water deposits, it would take a lot of patients since the machine wasn't designed for easy disassemble. (you'll need a thin long screw driver to take out some of the screws.)

bottom line:
machine is great as an alternative humidifier and room fan.It is a high maintenance machine make sure you clean it every week or two.

Review of NewAir AF-350 Portable Turbo Evaporative Swamp Air Cooler With True Cellulose Pads

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 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.
