Air Choice 40-Inch Evaporative Air Cooler

gogirl: I ordered this cooling unit to supplement my A/C as I live in a very warm climate and the A/C runs almost continuously resulting in a very dry environment. This unit does work in humidifying my living area. However, the water box is very small and I have to add water almost every hour so it seems that is all I do all day long. But, my biggest complaint is that it leaks!!! I have to keep rags around the unit all of the time while it is running and these have to be hung out to dry all day long so I am constantly having to do something with the unit. I decided to return it for a replacement but no find that is is no longer available. Not sure what I am going to do. Probably return it and look for a different unit.

sofie: I had no idea this fan would be even BETTER than I expected!
First, it’s taller and more substantial than I was imagining (which I had based on the height of my tower heater). Very sturdy yet easy to move around (when I’m in the living room, it’s in there with me. When I go to bed, I move it in there.).
The controls are easy to figure out and use. LOVE the remote!
It works ridiculously well—the cooling when I use the water and ice pack combo makes a huge difference in the temperature (and I received this just as the temps were spiking to 100° and above). Even when I don’t use the water/ice pack, it cools really well—and that’s only having it on the “low“ setting; I have yet to use the medium/normal one or high setting. The low setting has provided enough cooling.
And it’s SO QUIET!!! Let me say that again: IT IS SO QUIET!!!
I love that it oscillates, which is generally how I use it. When I just need a little extra cool air, I set it further away from where I sit and don’t have it set to oscillate. (And can use the remote when I change my mind. Lol.)
A little unexpected bonus is that the display lights shut off after a short period of...

Deepak Haarith: I was a little conflicted and confused about the variety of reviews.

However, I bought this product and I must say that it does what it is supposed to do, well.

This is an evaporative air cooler, which is a fan that will spit out cool, humidified air. Humidification is one of the principles of refridgeration, but it is different from air conditioning.

This fan was able to reduce the air temperature of 90F (32C) to 85F (29C) when used with ice water and ice cubes. This is comfortable enough for me to sleep. I wish the fan speed was a little higher for me, personally. Nevertheless, this is good enough for now. I live in the upper midwest USA and cooling is important only for about 2/12 months in a year. During winter, I will definitely use this product as a humidifyer - room temperature water.

I have only used it for 2 nights so far, and I do not have any major complaints.

If you are expecting this product to lower the temperature even further, you should go boy yourself an air conditioner. An air conditioner will suck air from the room, compress it and let it suddenly expand. The compressed air (high pressure) cools down due to sudden expansion...

Julian BarrettJulian Barrett: My camera doesn't have a flash, so the lighting isn't great. The EAC unit arrived in a timely manner. It has its pros and cons, but overall It's pretty good. The pros are that it serves as an air filter as well as a fan. When the evap setting is turned on, you get a nice cool breeze and the moisture in the air from it ensures that you don't get dried out by the wind blowing. It has a lot of of different settings so that if you want more of something or you don't like a setting, you can switch it out turn it off. I feel like it filters out the air even better with the evap setting turned on. It also comes with a remote so that you won't have constantly walk up to it to change the settings. The cons, I feel, are that the cold air from the evap setting is very short lived and I found myself trying to come up with ways to extend the three length of the cool air, including putting ice in the water tray. I can't remember about how long I had cold air, but it was somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour with ice in the water and the ice pack given because it melted everything in the tray rapidly. On a really hot day, that moisture turned into humidity and got me sweating a little and I...
