Description

    Here’s a"cool" alternative to a standard air conditioner that is less expensive and uses much less energy. This unique air cooler employs a system called endothermic reaction that works by drawing in air through a water-saturated wick. The air is cooled by up to 12°F from the room temperature and the refreshed air stream is then blown out the front of the unit to help cool the room. Unlike portable air conditioners there is no exhaust hose to connect. The air cooler rolls easily from room to room and comes with a convenient remote control. When the temperatures aren’t scorching you can use the versatile air cooler as a fan or humidifier.

Features

  • A versatile, lightweight and economical alternative to a portable air conditioner
  • Cooler works by drawing air in and cooling it with a water-saturated wick
  • Shoots a stream of refreshed air back out with oscillating louvers cooling the room by up to 12°F
  • Uses much less energy than an air conditioner
  • Rolls easily from room to room, includes remote control

Terrible May 14, 2008 Reviewer:  Real Ratings (California)  See all my reviews >

I live an apartment on the second floor; therefore although I have a portable air conditioner, there is absolutely no way to properly vent it for maximum cooling. To solve this dilemma (or so I thought), I purchased the SF-608R. My expectations were in line with the manufacturer's product description and use, however, there is absolutely NO WAY possible that this unit will "...cool a personal space up to 12 degrees lower than the ambient temperature." After reading reviews all over the Internet, I knew not to expect air conditioner type cooling, but this is nothing more than a fan that blows mildly cool air when DIRECTLY in front of the vent ONLY. And that is where its largest problem remains - even on 'swing,' it still does not cool even a small room - it only keeps you cool if you are precisely in front of it. With 104-degree temps expected tomorrow, this is going back. I will simply have to use my air conditioner with the window open and eat the shipping cost loss.

Cool in the dorm July 18, 2008 Reviewer:  Happy Student (Chicago, IL)  See all my reviews >

This is perfect and affordable way for spot cooling. Simply put ice and water into the water inlet. No connection or installation is required. I haven’t been sweating for a while now.

Works Great June 28, 2009 Reviewer:  Mom in CA (US)  See all my reviews >

I have had this product for over a year with no issues and I plan on buying another one for upstairs. I don't understand why people are complaining and are so angry over it! It does cool our living room and I love it. If you don't have air conditioning and don't plan on getting it, this is a good alternative. It won't cool more than one room, but it's a swamp cooler, not AC. You do have to add cold water and ice, but it's not like that's hard or anything. If I fill it with cold water, I can run it all day without refilling. I really don't get why people hate it so passionately.

Effective and Affordable June 25, 2009 Reviewer:  Ferguson (Tustin, CA)  See all my reviews >

I recently purchased Sunpentown Portable Swamp Cooler and am really amazed at how this little machine can cool my room. This Swamp Cooler is cost effective and affordable. It uses evaporation to lower the temperature. Adding ice definitely increases its effectiveness. I’m satisfied with the purchase and happy to have it around.

Great FAN! Don't expect an AC! May 26, 2009 Reviewer:  Office Girl (Office Girl, FL, USA)  See all my reviews >

This is a great fan, but you cannot expect to get an AC. If you want an AC, pay the price for one. I have a condo with very high ceilings and I use this upstairs where it's very hot during the day. I work from home from the upstairs office. This fan works to cool the room very nicely when I add the water and ice to the fan per the directions. I don't think it's necessary to pay the extra for the ionizing fan.

misleading info July 10, 2008 Reviewer:  disgruntled customer See all my reviews >

This air cooler needed ice to be put into the device, not mentioned in the info on the internet. As soon as water is added the ice melts of course--the air coming from the "cooler" is as warm as room air. When returning the product you have to pay a restocking fee as well as hefty restocking fee. It costs almost as much to return as it does to purchase.

Works for me February 28, 2008 Reviewer:  Save Planet (Phoenix, AZ)  See all my reviews >

This air cooler works very well when humidity is lower than 30% or so. It is more effective if you keep your window open a little. If you don’t, the humidity will rise and so will the temperature of the air blown from the cooler. I prefer using air cooler instead of air conditioner because it is cheaper to operate and it’s better for the outdoor environment.

Works as advertised February 22, 2008 Reviewer:  PeaceCorps (Chicago, IL)  See all my reviews >

This evaporative air cooler is easy to use and it does generate a peaceful atmosphere at home quickly and efficiently. It features a three-speed fan, washable filter, remote, 7.5-hour timer and 10-liter water tank. It uses less energy than an air conditioner and humidifies the air at the same time. If you live in a hot dry climate, this is the perfect product for your spot cooling needs. It will not be very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.

This item should not be sold October 13, 2007 Reviewer:  Sherri R (Renton, WA)  See all my reviews >

I am so angry I bought this item. I based my purchase on the person who gave it 5 stars. This was the only review at the time. I don't know how this person could have given it 5 stars. All this 'Air Cooler' did was raise the temperature in my house. I think Target shouldn't sell this product anymore. I think Sunpentown should discontine the production of this product and they should refund the money to anyone who has purchased this item. I bought this in July of 2006 and my frustration and disgust hasn't changed at all!

Cool product July 27, 2007 Reviewer:  love2shop "Sanders" (Santa Ana, CA)  See all my reviews >

I purchased this for my bedroom so I don’t have to turn on my air conditioner during nighttime. This machine is very well priced and with great features such as timer, remote control, fan speeds, casters and etc. It has a big tank so you don't need to constantly refill it with water.
