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.

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 ....
