This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan with Ionizer 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. - plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. 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.

Works as efficiently as any evaporative cooler would:
This unit is design for about a 12 X 12 foot room and can help a hot day be livable. Being able to add ice into the water trough and an ice pack into the top can lower the temperature 5-10 degrees (F). The only minor draw back is it increases humidity, my doctor would not call it a negative, which on an extremely hot day can make you feel sticky. This unit is really good in desert/low humidity geographic areas.
Working well so far...:
I received the cooler yesterday after work. Seems like a solidly build unit. As designed I found the netting for the evaporation process too limiting. So what you want to do is buy some swamp cooler foam, cut it to fit behind the net... then drill three quarter inch holes in the water pan. Works like a charm.
Don't waste your money!:
My husband and I currently live in Germany we live on the 3rd floor and Germans dont believe in central a/c. We have been here over 2 years now and during the summer it doesn't usually get very hot but this summer it is. I decided to buy this unit hoping it would cool down our apartment better than a few fans... I was sadly mistaken this unit is hardly cooler than a fan and unless you are sitting directly infront of it you wont feel anything this sad little thing puts out. It says for best results fill 2/3... more info
Not Worth It!:
I bought this product to cool the bedroom in my home. I live in Germany and it is usually not very hot, but the last couple of weeks it has been. Well I recieved the cooler in the mail, and read the directions,plugged it in to use it around 1pm. I will be fair this is NOT a Air Conditioner, but by 3pm I had to put more Ice in the unit because it was blowing out only warm air and the water in the unit had warmed to the tempature of the room. By the time I was ready to go to bed(11pm)the room was still as... more info
