5.0 out of 5 stars Works great even better with ice!!!, July 25, 2005

Mark Smith "Fun with Guns" (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I live in Houston where it is 90% humidity most of the time, outside...I knew these "swamp" coolers wouldn't do me much good as a replacement for my A/C, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted this as a "helper" to boost my cooling in my back bedroom, since inside the house the humidity is only about 40%. This thing works great. I had a fan in the room before and all it did was blow warm air in my face. I put this item in the room next to the bed, filled it up and added some ice...5 minutes later, 15 degree cooler air blowing on me...great... I only had one problem, that is, now my wife wants one on her side of the bed, looks like I will be placing another order....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Machine, April 20, 2006

Sergeant Buzzfuzz "Pickwick" (VA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I bought this small swamp cooler to supplement my regular air conditioning in my bedroom, which has huge picture windows and heats up like a green house. Since I live in Virginia, with high humidity, I didn't expect this little cooler to do much. But I am amazed at how chilled the air feels and how much cool air it puts out. Even though the building air conditioning hasn't been turned on yet, this small unit is making my bedroom comfortable at night. I am very pleased with it, and with Sunpentown and Air Purifer's very forthcoming customer service. They were very responsive to my queries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sunpentown unit works in our home, September 16, 2005

Kjkjel (College Station, TX) - See all my reviews

I live 90 miles northwest of Houston and found 'fun with guns' review convincing. We live in a 1-bedroom apartment with the air conditioner in the living room. A guest was staying in our living room and we wanted to be able to close our bedroom door at night. We tested the situation without a cooler and the bedroom was stuffy and hot; outside temps 'cool down' to about 75 F at night with high humidity (Texas!). So I bought the Sunpentown ($98 w/shipping). This thing looks nice, easy to move (comes with rollers), and is relatively simple to use and fill. I've found that if I run the cooler (i.e. the pump that circulates water around/about the fan), heat is generated at the back of the unit and our closed bedroom was too warm and felt damp. But if I just run the fan (medium) and keep water in the resevoir, the blown air is cool and we can sleep comfortably all night, with the door and window closed. This was kind of surprising but it works for us. We've only had the thing for 2-weeks so I couldn't give it a 5-star (hey, it's gotta' last!) but so far I'm really pleased with the investment.

The cooler worked for less than four hours before stopping. The seller refers back to the manufacturer and the manufacturer refers back to the seller. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Just a little better than a small personal fan
This is a fairly large unit, not that heavy, but takes a bit of space. The fan power is less than most personal portable fans, the small ones that oscillate. Read more
