SPT SF-612R Evaporative Air Cooler: Stay Cool with 3D Cooling Pad Technology

Laurie PayLaurie Pay: We love this product. We can help keep things cooler by adding ice to the water and putting a slab of ice in the top of the product. Runs quiet too.

Terry Shewchuk: Does what its description says. Cools down quite a bit, fan is a bit noisy, no lealage of any sort.

Amazon Customer: This air cooler does cool the air in the room. I used a fan also to circulate the cool air. It does need to be filled with water a couple of times a day and the back filter needs to be cleaned every couple of days.

So it started leaking out the backside of unit near the filter
like people have been saying

so after examining the filter area I found out what is going on
it seems that the filter is not setting on the ridge that is designed to
keep the space between drainage hole an filter it looks like the filter
is just wearing out on its edges, so if the company would just sale the
filter to replace the old one the problem would be solved (also the silver
holder at top left of filter seems to lost its holding power too)

so on to my fix to solve the problem

so I placed a plastic clothes pin that I separated on bottom of filter area
to lift the filter back off the drainage hole an problem was solved no more
leaking

so the leaking turns out to be a flaw in the design of filter

so its fixable cause I fixed the problem on my end

I am still giving the SPT SF-612R Evaporative Air Cooler 5 stars

thinking if you buy the SPT SF-612R Evaporative Air Coolerwhich you should cause it works
great that you should just fix problem from start an place something
to hold up filter to keep it from dropping...

Old Biker: The star rating is relative to value for the money. There are better units out there, but they cost 3-4 times as much. Next, if your climate is such that you are over 30% relative humidity, which is just about everything east of the Rockies, this won't work for you. It works best in the Desert Southwest unless it's Monsoon Season. The humidity will be well over 30% It is meant for small spaces, not whole houses. It does a good job on a 400 sq ft or less room. I had this along on a recent RV fishing trip and we dry camped for a while. My generator is light duty and not enough power for the trailer air conditioner, so I ran this off a combination of an inverter then generator when my battery level came down and even though it was 95+ degrees (with 8% relative humidity), the trailer (26 ft box) kept below 80 degrees. Today the high temp in the California High Desert is going to be about 103 (about 10% relative humidity) , I am using it with the oscillation feature to keep cool air blowing on me while I am working on my truck making the process bearable in my hot garage.

As for the leaking that others complained about, I have only had the issue if I had it off-level as I did on...

JBS: I live in Arizona and its incredibly dry here. I was hesitant to purchase this because it was pushing triple degree weather and my roommate does not believe in central air conditioning and I did not know what to expect. The second I filled it with water and ice, when I turned it on, I was impressed and relieved. The unit does not cool down an entire room BUT if you sit within range it will blow cold air on you with one of its three settings. I put cardboard on the windows and did some other measures to block out the heat and I think those measures plus the cooler DOES cool down the room nicely. I keep it on for most of a 24 hour period. Once a day, mid day, I fill it with two ice cube trays and 3 pitchers of water and it works like a champ. There has to be air flow so you do not want to close your door and let it run. You will walk in and find yourself in a swamp like setting, if you do. My door stays cracked when I am in my room. I also have rolled it to other rooms with no issues. I would not recommend this product if you live in a state where humidity is high but more so dry atmospheres.
