Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
Customer Review: Air cooler - OK
Summary: 3 Stars
The unit never turned on. When I called sunpentown, they sent me a document which I tried, but it still did not work. I sent them an email, but they kept quiet. By chance I tried to turn the unit ON with remote and it started working. The buttons on my unit do not work!
The air cooler hardly works! It makes the room more humid and muggy than before! I wish I could return this product and get my money-back!
Customer Review: it works
Summary: 5 Stars
i just ordered another one. i live around the inland empire california where the humidity ranges from 27%-35% and temps of 78f-93f in the past few days indoors with no ac. it does not cool a room like a ac but it is cooler than using a fan. you have to be in front of the swamp cooler to feel the cool air and cools from 2f-10f depending on the environment. i put it right next to my bed and i get cold in the middle of the night. just make sure you have plenty of ice to add into the cooler. Customer Review: Good
Summary: 5 Stars
Instead of using a fan blowing HOT or WARM air to your face, this product will blow COMFORTABLE air, not COOL or COLD. If you put 2 or 3 trays of ice cubes, It blows out much more COMFORTABLE air. It must blow DIRECTLY to you in order to feel more comfortable. Good idea to cool a work table or computer table.If you expect this product to cool down your room, you will be disapointed. It uses approx 60 watts of electricityCustomer Review: a great little air cooler!!!! I love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This little air cooler has saved my husband and me!! This unit cools down a room very well. It isn't too loud and putting water in is not a hassle like I expected. Once or twice a day i put a tray of ice cubes in the top section and it gives an extra chill breeze. The reason why I opted for this cooler is because it doesn't have any drainage or hot air flow tubes that require an outlet outside like most portable air conditioners. Also, this unit does not exhaust hot air out the back. We keep it plugged in in the middle of our apartment and direct the air flow to whichever room we are in. It isn't difficult to move, just a little sloshy with the water inside. You will need a slender pitcher or container to fill the cooler; the opening is on the side of the unit and is a little small. We live in a pretty dry climate and this cooler has been perfect. I give it 5 stars for cost effectiveness, ease of use, and overall performance.Customer Review: Only works in the sahara

Evaporative coolers, also known as "swamp coolers" DO NOT WORK if there is any humidity in the air. Unless you live in a high desert, these devices can actually add to your hot sweaty misery by increasing the humidity in your house and possibly even warming it because of heat generated by the fan and pumps. Higher humidity can even cause mold and mildew problems. Remember if the air is saturated with humidity the water in this device can't evaporate and it can't cool the air.
High desert = Great
Anywhere else = Don't bother
