Tools and Hardware Reviews of SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
Customer Review: Sunpentown Portable Evaporative Air Cooler does just that.
Summary: 4 Stars
Works great (in dry heat, of course) and I'd recommend to friends.
It definitely keeps the temperature down by at least 10º, and I find the noise of the fan quite soothing.
The only problem is that our dogs and the cat splay themselves around the entire cold-air area (about a 10-15 foot swath), leaving very little cold-air space for the 2-leggeds.
Customer Review: Sunpentown swamp cooler
Summary: 4 Stars
It works well in a small room, like a bedroom. I have a large living room with 20 ft. vaulted ceilings, and it can't cool it down much. However, when I put it in my bedroom, it's pretty nice! For my living room, it's still nice if it's blowing on you, but don't forget that the temp feels hotter with more humidity! Great purchase though for the price.Customer Review: Sure beats being eaten by a bear! Heheh... Great gadget!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I don't really expect to meet up with a bear, but... part of what prompted me to buy this cooler is the increase in wildlife activity near our house. I don't always feel comfortable leaving the windows open as much as I used to. Anyway, except late at night, in the summer the outside air is usually hotter than the inside air so it's better to keep them closed. We had a fisher ('fisher-cat') show up last summer, something I'd never seen before. Then, there are foxes. And, of course, there's all the pollen and other stuff that comes in the windows.
Air conditioning hasn't done much for our weird little house, and it's ME that has to lift and install the stupid things and I just can't be bothered with that anymore! Sick of putting the air conditioners in. So, this Sunpentown evaporative cooler has been great, and very manageable.
It doesn't blast cold air like an air conditioner; true, it has it's limits. But, especially if I put some ice paks in the top container with lid (which I then cover with my stack of small cleaning towels...this helps insulate), I notice that the air IS much cooler than it would be from just a regular fan.
This gadget is nice and quiet and all the options for various settings, timer, etc., are wonderful.
We have very high humidity here (except in winter!) so I haven't bothered much with the actual evaporative-cooling aspect -- it would really only make a difference in a hot, dry place. Still, I like having that option, because you never know, around here!
There was a slight issue with the float inside the cooler, but I was able to make a quick phone call and get some instructions emailed to me about how to make the simple fix. This isn't new to me -- I've had to fix floats before, same type of situation, but with a hydroponic planter gadget.
Anyway -- I'm happy with this cooler and I may decide to get a few more in the future.
Customer Review: Surprized and very happy!

I live in the basement of my house because I Can't walk, This place is set up for my needs but it has no windows so no AC. This thing works great! It's made well, looks great and works wonderfully. It takes my 79 degree room down to 74.that;s good enough for me.I'm Happy. Standard delivery from these people was 2 day UPSCustomer Review: Swamp Cooler
Summary: 4 Stars
This thing actually saved my life. Living in a city where they claim "air conditioning is not necessary", I almost lost it on that fluke week of 90 degrees! The room does have a damp feel to it if you run with the cooler for a long time, but MUCH better than the alternative. Also, with the cooler, (female talking here) my skin is 10X better due to it not being dry. My new kitten and I thank Amazon for getting us through the HEAT, for a great purchase, great price and shipping RIGHT ON TIME AS USUAL!
