SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler

This is a great cooling system for the price. It's quiet enough that you can have it running while you're watching TV and not have to crank the volume all the way up. Also, the company that makes the air cooler is easy to work with as well. If there happens to be something wrong with the system, they'll replace it BEFORE you even send back your original system, so you don't have to go without. Very nice and a lot of bang for your buck! Side note, I live in a non-humid climate, which helps how well it works.

My wife and I were looking for a portable unit that would cool us off a bit in the afternoon and especially while we slept; one that was cost effective and affordable. We've been using the SPT SF-608R for about two months now and it's been good. Doesn't get as cold as we'd hoped, but it is not an air conditioner; it uses evaporation to lower the temperature - the addition of ice quite increases its effectiveness.
It is easy to move around, it is very easy to use and it definitely takes the edge off. We're satisfied with the purchase and happy to have it around.
In fact, it's getting hot in here so I'm going to go turn it on right now...

We're very happy with the air cooler. It really functions as a higher powered, cooler fan, it's not like an air conditioner at all. We primarily use it in a very large space with a small window unit air conditioner & a ceiling fan. The combination of the 3 keeps the place feeling cool. We've recommended it to several friends & may order more for the bedrooms.

We bought this unit for our daughter's dorm room and it is working perfectly. She and her roommate make sure to keep the water reservoir filled so that the chilling unit stays operational, otherwise it functions as a fan. Worth the money.

This unit as purchased as a gift for a friend in Colorado and I think the rating can be summarized with her first two comments after she received it.
"Gosh, it takes a lot of water *giggle* " and a little later, "aaaaaaahhh, my room feels so cool now."
Thank You for just what was needed.
