Sunpentown 10L 3-Speed Evaporative Air Cooler for 950 sq ft, White

I live in Florida and live in a house with no a/c. I suppose I expected a little more of it than it could produce but at this price, I didn't expect it to break after only 4 months. I bought it in June, it stopped working in the middle of the night. You factor in that it is large but yet, has a very small area that it cools... It's not worth $30.00. The only benefit is that it's quiet. Now that it's broken, it will be very quiet.

This is wonderful at helping to cool my room at night. It is not freezing but it is not way too hot either. It works great since we have no AC and cannot put window units in our house. You have to leave the door open to the room because the humidity makes it really hot if you do not. The ice and water mixed cool the best.

This little air cooler with remote control works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so it 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. The air blown out the front of the unit is so cool that we hardly use our air conditioner this summer. This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy.

I only used this cooler a few times before it broke, and the warranty service was poor. This item has electronic controls that are very flimsy. Buy a more powerful unit with analog controls.

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.
