Editorial Review

Product Description: Sunpentown Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer. Conveniently rolls from room to room to cool and purify the air! The Air Cooler does exactly what the name implies, though it's not an air conditioner. Here's how it works: The Evaporative Air Cooler 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's in the air. Cooled down, that air is then blown out the front of the unit to offer you relief in warm, stuffy, uncomfortable spaces. But it doesn't stop there. It also gives you the air cleaning benefits of an ionic air purifier and humidifier to make your environment as comfortable and clean as you like it. Note: Works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool. Clean and cool the air: Remote control; 10L water tank capacity; Nylon and photocatalytic filter; Three air speeds: H / M / L; Sleep mode; Timer: from 1/2-hour to 7 1/2-hour setting; Input voltage: 120V / 60Hz; Power consumption: 60W; Air flow: 23 ft per second. 16 x 25 x 12". 17 lbs.; Order yours today and beat the heat!

Working well so far...

I received the cooler yesterday after work. Seems like a solidly build unit. As designed I found the netting for the evaporation process too limiting. So what you want to do is buy some swamp cooler foam, cut it to fit behind the net... then drill three quarter inch holes in the water pan. Works like a charm.

Not Worth It!

I bought this product to cool the bedroom in my home. I live in Germany and it is usually not very hot, but the last couple of weeks it has been. Well I recieved the cooler in the mail, and read the directions,plugged it in to use it around 1pm. I will be fair this is NOT a Air Conditioner, but by 3pm I had to put more Ice in the unit because it was blowing out only warm air and the water in the unit had warmed to the tempature of the room. By the time I was ready to go to bed(11pm)the room was still as warm as when I had first plugged it in. I ended up unplugging the unit and opening all the windows in my house, and it was much cooler.SPT SF-609 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer I am very disatisifed with this product.

Not really worth the effort

To be fair, the product does not claim to be an air conditioner. However, it does claim to cool 12 degrees cooler, which I didn't find at all. I live in a dry Colorado climate, and still it is barely cooler than a fan. You have to fill it with tons of ice to even get that, and it requires refilling with water and ice often. If you don't clean it at least once a week, it starts smelling really bad.

All this effort of refilling and cleaning is not worth the 3 to 5 degrees cooler you get. For that, I'd rather just plug in a fan and not have to worry about it every day. Save your money and buy a portable air conditioner. It's worth the extra investment, trust me.
