Description of SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
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. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. The remote control allows you to easily change settings.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.Tools and Hardware Reviews of SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
Customer Review: Sure beats being eaten by a bear! Heheh... Great gadget!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I don't really expect to meet up with a bear, but... part of what prompted me to buy this cooler is the increase in wildlife activity near our house. I don't always feel comfortable leaving the windows open as much as I used to. Anyway, except late at night, in the summer the outside air is usually hotter than the inside air so it's better to keep them closed. We had a fisher ('fisher-cat') show up last summer, something I'd never seen before. Then, there are foxes. And, of course, there's all the pollen and other stuff that comes in the windows.
Air conditioning hasn't done much for our weird little house, and it's ME that has to lift and install the stupid things and I just can't be bothered with that anymore! Sick of putting the air conditioners in. So, this Sunpentown evaporative cooler has been great, and very manageable.
It doesn't blast cold air like an air conditioner; true, it has it's limits. But, especially if I put some ice paks in the top container with lid (which I then cover with my stack of small cleaning towels...this helps insulate), I notice that the air IS much cooler than it would be from just a regular fan.
This gadget is nice and quiet and all the options for various settings, timer, etc., are wonderful.
We have very high humidity here (except in winter!) so I haven't bothered much with the actual evaporative-cooling aspect -- it would really only make a difference in a hot, dry place. Still, I like having that option, because you never know, around here!
There was a slight issue with the float inside the cooler, but I was able to make a quick phone call and get some instructions emailed to me about how to make the simple fix. This isn't new to me -- I've had to fix floats before, same type of situation, but with a hydroponic planter gadget.
Anyway -- I'm happy with this cooler and I may decide to get a few more in the future.
