In discription nowhere written that it is humidifier first with cooling as a side effect. Item evoparise 0.6-0.7 L/h it's too much humid here without it.

keeping my bull dog cool, 08/03/2007

I got this for my bull dog who does not like the heat, and she loves it. Of course, it is keeping me cool too. The best thing is that it is portable.

It is perfect if the area is not too big. Just add a fan to help move the air further around house. I would recommend and buy again.

I was very dissappointed with my puchase. I would of been better off purchasing window fans. It put out very little air and was not cool even when I filled it with cold water and ice as recommended.

Not what I expected, 07/23/2007
By IHateSummerTemps
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I couldn't tell any difference in room temperature using this cooler. I've tried using ice and ice cold water, and I can't feel anything but room temperature air. It doesn't blow much air out, and I can't believe I spent that much money for a tiny little machine.

Great for the money, and it actually works!!, 07/21/2007
By GoodDEAL4u
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This machine is very well priced. And, when they say it cools up to 12 degrees, it gets pretty close to it. Even on really hot days, it still works. Whats more, it doesnt require constantly having to fill it with water. I use it approx 5 days a week for hours on end, have had it for 2 weeks, and i have filled it only twice.

Review 31 for Sunpentown Evaporative Air Cooler

A somewhat helpful product, 07/20/2007
By CoolAirDude
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

The cooler had a number a excellent features and options for use. It did cool the air and would be fine for a small area for optimum cooling. The real downside was the fact that the pump made the water sound loud enough to wake a person up and keep them awake. Not the simple sound of rain or a stream, more like a very very loud constant dripping faucet, and the timer only went for 7.5 hours. But for the money it did cool and was compact with numerous features.

Review 32 for Sunpentown Evaporative Air Cooler

Nice unit but limited, 07/19/2007
By Burd
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This unit does what it claims to do. Don't buy htis product if you are planning on putting it in a really warm room. I bought this for my computer room and on hot days it just can't keep up with the normal heat as well as the heat generated by the computers. the unit also makes the air very moist on really hot days. You have to fill this unit around every 10 hours, so be prepared to do a little work to keep it running all day. The remote control works great, this would make a great bedroom unit at night.

Very poor product, 07/14/2007
By menolikey, Marquette, Michigan
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

This product does not work the way the description says it will. The fan part of the item is fine, but when you go to use the air cooler, that is supposed to cool the air in the room 12 degrees, it actually makes the room about 20 degrees hotter.
I used this product on a day where it was supposed to get very hot. Left it in my room all day, with my door closed. Came back hoping that my room would be cooler, about 6 hours later, it was really hot in my room. I had to bring about 4 fans from all over my apartment into my room, open my window and everything just to cool my room down. I was not happy.

Trust me this item DOES NOT cool the room at all. They claim up to 12 degrees below ambient room temperature. NOT!!!!. I have used it as instructed and the room temperature goes up. Save your money do not buy this waste of a product.

Good Product at a Great Price, 07/08/2007
By baker98391, Lake Tapps, WA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This is a very reasonably priced and effective cooling unit. It is compact and on wheels, so it is very easy to store and move from room to room. If effectively cools an average-sized room very quickly. You have to add water and ice, which is pretty much the only drawback of the unit and even that isn't really a drawback - just a minor inconvenience. The water capacity is pretty large so you may need a few trips with a pitcher to fill it up. But add the ice and the cooling effect is great! Plus, it uses much less energy than a window cooling unit. It is fairly quiet as well - maybe the same sound level as an oscillating fan on high. The remote control is a great feature, as well. Highly recommended for cooling small areas.

Not totally forthcoming about product, 07/04/2007
By rainison, Cleburne, TX
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

The machine works great as a humidifier. However, as far as cooling the room there is nothing in the description about "how you cool the room". You have to load the machine with ice. It takes an entire ice bin from our icemaker. You put some in the top and some in the water. I don't think I would not purchased this had that been in the description. Since the humidifier works good I decided not to return it. I do like the size and the fact of the remote control.

While this product will certainly not cool your whole house, it will do a great job of spot cooling a small area efficiently. Seems to be very well made and has great features. It has been run 24 hours a day for the last 6 weeks and remains quiet and effective.
