Tools and Hardware Reviews of SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
Customer Review: A cool and economical choice for small areas
Summary: 4 Stars
My room is on a second story level with the sun hitting it from rise to set. During these summer months, it can be dry and up to the high 80s - low 100s in Southern California. I was desperate for relief but not able to afford an air conditioner, nor did I have a window to put one in.
One thing that I like about this model is that its basic in design, nothing flashy but not ugly. I also like the easy openings for the ice/ice pack on top which is hidden by a plate that you can take off to fill and a small pocket on the right that you can open to add the water and ice. Very simple design. The buttons on top are easy to read and respond well to the touch. A beep noise is used to alert the user when you push the button or when the water level is low. It comes with a remote when you're just too hot to get up to push a button and a cool feature is the "Swing" mode for the fans, a slow paced back and forth motion that blows the breeze in multiple directions. Also worth mentioning is the extremely convenient Water Outlet plug in the back underneath. It screws on and off so all I do is carry the unit into the tub (unplugged of course), unscrew the Water Out plug and the water drains out with ease! Super easy to maintain.
Keep in mind, this thing does use water to cool the room so the humidity level will rise, which in some cases is a good thing.
Also, I have a small room (90sq.ft.), so this thing is perfect because in all honesty you have to be pretty close to the fan stream to feel the cool breeze but my room is so small it is hard not to be in the fan's reach.
I'm pleased with this product, it cools me when I throw ice in there and its nice and portable with the rollers.
Does its job and I'm no longer dying in the heat of my room.
Customer Review: A/C / Humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a "mother in law" type home and our side gets very hot in the FL summer months.
Was not sure if this product was what I was looking for based on the reviews, but I gave it a shot and we love it!
It takes the temp down a lot on our side leaving other side of the house evenly cooled. (and not freezing!) It does what we wanted it to do. I also love the humidifier as I have very dry eyes and while it is cooling our side of the house, it also humidifies.
The only down side is you can't clean the tray or whatever holds the water. (in a humidifier there is usually a slimy substance at the bottom of tank that must be cleaned out) (maybe this cleans itself?) (I'll keep looking!!)
All in All, We Love It!!

Tried to use in Nevada at just 88 degrees. Did not seem to produce cool air, even with my hand in front of the unit! Highly dissatisfiedCustomer Review: Air Cooler for dry climate
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product and works great. It only will work in dry climate. If you live in area with high humidity it isnt for you. We turn the central air off at night and sleep with this air cooler blowing on us and we actually have to cover up it gets so cool. Great product and makes the air smell good in our bedroom. The remote control is great.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!
