SPT SF-611 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Cooling Pad
This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan with Ionizer is versatile and an economical way to cool and humidify the surrounding air. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room with lockable casters. Oscillating louvers for even distribution of refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. Features a 3-D Cooling Pad, LCD panel and remote control. Three modes of computer controlled airflows: Normal, Simulated Natural Wind and Sleep modes. The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), meaning 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. 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. 3-Dimensional Cooling Pad: Our SF-611 features a unique Cooling Pad for enhanced cooling performance. The Cooling Pad is made of cellulose paper, impregnated with unique ingredients for high performance and structural strength. Treated with special stiffening and wetting agents for maximum water absorption and retention; and with Anti-Rot chemical for prevention of algae and bacteria growth. Due to the 3-dimensional, weaving structure of the Cooling Pad, SF-611 allows longer contact between air and water. Unlike other units on the market, where air only passes through a flat, 2-Dimensional cloth. The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.
Amazon Sales Rank: #328060 in Home Brand: Sunpentown Model: SF-611 Number of items: 1 Dimensions: 14.00" h x 35.00" w x 17.00" l, 25.00 pounds Evaporative air cooler, humidifier, and fan for cooling and humidifying Uses water to cool the air; oscillating louvers for even distribution LCD panel; 3 air speeds; 3 wind modes; timer; remote control 3D cooling pad; washable filter; 7-liter water tank; lockable casters Measures 14 by 16 by 32-1/2 inches; 1-year warranty
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.

Even with low humidity of New Mexico to cool the unit every room, but close to the unit, blows you facilitation of 3-4 degrees (marked with a good thermometer), plus the benefits of air, the lateral movement. Bells and whistles ("natural" and "sleep" mode) are crap, and the unit is quite loud on the lowest speed (unbearably so with high speeds). However, its basic function he performs, and I wonder whether any portable swamp cooler works really well. Limited relief at acceptable costs. 11 of 12 people found this review helpful. Decent, but not a substitute for air conditioning in general helpdeskdan I am satisfied with my air cooler, but only under the conditions that I use. Let me be clear, this is a perfect complement to an air conditioner. My bedroom is not cool, no matter what temperature you set the air conditioner air cooler does a nice job of cooling it down to 5 degrees (with cold tap water). Not to mention the advantage of moisture. I can add ice, which would be of great help, but it would have meant more work and my fridge out more hot air. (Physics of Simple -.. hot shame that there is a fridge on the outside) If you add ice, and was out of your refrigerator, it might be a substitute for an air conditioner to a room, but I have not tried. You should buy this product to your room if: * You have an air conditioner * * Your home is very dry you like / miss the humidity (good for sinuses) * You do not want to put a balm to air the window, or the second air conditioner in your window. (Big plus if you rent) * Want to save electricity (air conditioner use less) * It has a remote control and a timer, which is nice. It also has different speeds, which is nice, and includes some other useless buttons Note: * It will not work when the humidity rises. It helps to have a humidistat. For this reason I use it only at night. Of course, if you own an air conditioner, it will take out the humidity and you can use the air cooler again. * Water should be changed daily, preferably just before use. (The colder water better =) * Even if you change the water every day, the PAN must be cleaned at least once a month. * My started making a rattling upsetting for the first few minutes. I can not understand what sound is, how or how to stop it. Therefore, if I go to sleep, I must turn at least half an hour earlier. July 7 found this review helpful. Worse cool ... it really warms up the atmosphere ..... A. We just bought this Hwu yesterday and it was 98 degrees in San Jose, California. Our room was very small, so I thought maybe a swamp cooler will help, but no, that room even hotter (I know there is an AC, but an ordinary fan is better than this piece I can not ****..) tell the difference between "cool" mode and "hell" mode. We bought it from Fry's, and we can not return, and they price at $ 189th See all 10 reviews ....

Good unit, lousy support from Wayne Paterson As another reviewer mentioned, Amana does not recognize the existence of these units rebadged Haier on its website. Haier has unfortunately not seem to recognize, support by practically impossible. The a / c unit requires a small window (or a large heavily blocked), which can take a lot of work if your windows are not the right size, but it is true of such a unit. It is a very practical device, without empty bucket. It is also quite loud, with strange controls that require the remote control. It was great the first year we had, the less the second, despite careful storage. They would probably be better with a domestic production (or European or Japanese) unit, if you find one. 5 of 6 people found this review helpful. By Kevin Johnston large unit its great. To empty a bucket of water every day and worth every penny. I use it for a spare room that is usually very warm cool, and the room is cool enough to comfortably sleep It makes opening a window, but easy to move in the closet for the colder months, or as a backup up of a / c, when the whole house air failed. It will only cool a room, but in this price range, are well worth a ([...]) below. Remote Velcro at the top of the unit not to lose or maintain control was proposed in a tie around yourself safe. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. AC unit ideal for AC Man This product works very well. It's really powerful and very quiet. It is on wheels so it's easy to move. Keeps our large rooms cool in the summer right. Note that this requires a ventilation window. No problem for me and I'm really happy about that! See all 6 reviews ....

The best customer reviews 61 of 62 people found this review helpful. The best - indeed one of the few - Window fans throughout the house on the market these days! SUMMARY Phillips Pierce: 5 / 5 stars - glad I bought enthusiastically recommend it to friends, and not hesitate to buy a new model window fan ----- This Lasko 2155A - also sold as the 9155 model King Air - is a true blessing for me. I live in the Deep South (Georgia), where the sweltering summer heat index (H + heating near 100% humidity), often reaches 130 or more - and no air conditioning. For me, a big fan of the whole house a window like this makes all the difference between comfort and hell in July and August roll around (which is July 27th as I write this, and I'm sitting near the window with the fan upon him). This is truly a house window fan, and costs much less to operate than an air conditioner. Compared with central A / C, I save over a hundred dollars a month, which is more than $ 600 one year each year that the money be better spent elsewhere! With this high volume fan, I keep the house cool, but $ 150 + electricity per month in central A / C. This fan paid off during the first month. I also discovered that if I did not A / C, I think the summers more, and I'm not as blunt and short tempered when I'm in a room without air conditioning, all from the supermarket car park for a cookout. It's all I wonder, why would I pay $ 150 + per month and finally it depends on the air conditioner that I can not be happy, nature to enjoy the summer! It's all a matter of what your body gets used to. For hot summer nights, you can create a small window A / C unit in the room, and still save a bundle, because this fan is for the rest of the house use, rather than pay the cost Boom Power Plant A / C PROS : * Economical to operate - this fan moves to 2470 CFM (cubic feet of air per minute) at only 90 watts - compare that with more than 20 "model (King Air Model # 9166), which moved on the 3560 CFM 170 Watts - an increase in power for only 89% increased air flow by 44% ... logically, rather than simply buy two of these 16 "Lasko 9155 2155A/Air King units ... y You may double the airflow, not 44% more - and you get it in only ten watts * moves much more air - more than a fan of 20 "more than anything sold in Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's , Ace Hardware, True Value, pharmacy or other place that looked like melted * 3 pins Safety ground installation options * Versatile * 3 speeds instead of two, or just on / off * Reversible electric intake and exhaust - a big advantage because I want to be able to vent hot during the day and then invest it to get fresh air at night .. without having to manually uninstall and cover the entire unit around like with some other fans of marks (! ahem) * Quieter than the old plate, fans in the last years, it sounded like airplane propellers * Made in the USA for our friends and neighbors and countrymen, not a Chinese operating system NEUTRAL: .. * The design feels a bit weak .. e Everything is plastic, except the inner grid - but this is largely irrelevant, because later in the window, sits there and plastic is doing a good job of sitting in a window as metal, and on the bright side is lighter than a metal fan would make it easier to install and hide in the attic or the basement at the end of the season * Do not expect to rest on the highest speed, there is some wind noise ... but it is not blame fans, and there is nothing you can do about it ... move large volumes of air at a high speed cause noise, no matter what, so you can not blame the fan or the expensive * producer - for the construction of almost-all-plastic, and only a 50% (maximum) of airflow.

Client more useful in 22 of 24 people found this review helpful. Lovely room / small air conditioner for the home of T. ice Hour ------ August update of this product: EER rating of 9.8 underestimate this product efficiency. I live in NC and it was hot in June, with no signs of slowing down. Today 08/11/11 was the first in more than sixty days, the high temperature was below 90th It 'been 87th (Cloudy and rainy);) For the most part was above the middle-90. June. But when I got my electric bill in July to June was only $ 54 I was like ok, it will take a month for energy consumption to show. I've just recievied my account in August for the month of July and was only $ 57th Honestly !!!!!!!!!! And let me tell you, this device produced by my mind .. ;) I used not to give a series of EER another look, but now it is everything you want, when you buy something electrical. Even at 110 volts, putting it out as much air as cool as my old 220-unit outside. If I am still using (0utside drive) my electricity bill would be well over $ 120 ------ After reading some of the reviews for this product, I was a bit skeptical. Not so much for the product, but how it was delivered. Some shippers reported injuries. Mine arrived intact and in very good condition. Setup was a breeze, thanks to its light weight, there was only one person job. Lasted only 30 minutes, and I actually read the instructions. :) Could easily be a 15 minutes work when I'm in a hurry. Works like a charm and does everything I expected / wanted. (To knock down the high heat of summer and money is not my central air unit is expensive to store) Some may ask how can a 110-unit to store a 220, but believe me, it does / will. My central air likes almost all the time in the summer, no matter what temperature I set it on, and this pushes electricity bills drastically. Now I have the windows open at night and use the window unit to repel the heat during the day. Does not run that much, and cools very quickly, I'm saving electricity and get fresh air at night. Positive in a brothel, which maintains the flow of air itself, again and again two. 19 of 21 people found this review helpful. sweet .... Package sketch came early and in perfect condition via UPS, simply slipped, pulled to the right and cooled right down. I bought an identical 2 years ago, but only 3,500 BTUs, and ran like a champ since then, only need a large ..... I am very satisifed. 9 of 10 people found this review helpful. So far the calm. From Shannon Sanmartin I had 2 of these from Amazon. Set up was easy enough. It cools my room at about 3 minutes. Keep the temperature of 71 or I freeze. My only complaint is the fan speed down seems to be too powerful. And I tried to sleep with the ability to save, but every time the system has started once again woke me up.
