Unistar 4-in-1 Swamp Cooler with Ionic Air Purifier, DF268. Review

Unistar 4-in-1 Swamp Cooler with Ionic Air Purifier, DF268.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
pros:
- saves you in energy bills since it can cool the room instead of using the ac
- filters are washable
- the included remote gives you controls even in bed
- the 30 min interval timer feature is great specially when it gets too cold at night
cons:
- the ionizer feature is more of a display light than anything
- needs a weekly maintenance. water mineral builds up at the bottom, if you let it sit for more than a week, taking it out posts a problem.
- if you even find the time to actually clean the insides of the fan and and take out the dusts and water deposits, it would take a lot of patients since the machine wasn't designed for easy disassemble. (you'll need a thin long screw driver to take out some of the screws.)
bottom line:
machine is great as an alternative humidifier and room fan. It is a high maintenance machine make sure you clean it every week or two.

No installation! Save 95% on your AC electric bill with this 4-in-1 cooler/ionizer/humidifier/fan rolling from room to room! This year, beat high energy costs with the Kaito Air-Cooler-Ionizer-Humidifier, yet the room temperature is reduced by as much as 12 F! The built-in fresh air anion generator releases streams of negative ions that attract dust and other allergens down and out of the air you inhale. Air feels as fresh as after a springtime rain. Rolls easily on large casters to a guest room, an enclosed porch, or to accompany you from room to room. There are no expensive filters to buy; just rinse the permanent filter. Other features include three air speed: H/ M/ L, four modes selectable, 7.5 hour timer and remote control. Unit comes with two ice packs.

Handy Cooler - First-ever Hand Held Evporative Battery Fan. Stay Cool With This Evolutionary Mini Fan - BLACK Review

Handy Cooler - First-ever Hand Held Evporative Battery Fan. Stay Cool With This Evolutionary Mini Fan - BLACK
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
OVERVIEW
Handy Cooler is the perfect travel/everyday must-have. It weighs a little over 4 ounces I would say. The size of the handy cooler is astonishing for an air cooler. It is about the size of a water bottle and the handle fits very well. I love how you can adjust the angle of the blowout direction. The air that comes out is cooler than fans, and it doesn't come off too strong. However, don't expect it to be as cold as and as powerful as a full-size AC.

GET IT WORKING
It works by evaporation. For cool air, you need to wet the sponge with the mini-bottle provided or wet it with water over the sink. I think it might even be a good idea to put it in the fridge for a while so that the air that comes out is even cooler.

BATTERIES
It can be powered by plugging it into a computer with the USB cord provided, or by 4 AA batteries which lasts about 5 hours. You can even purchase a 6V wall adapter for it.

CONCLUSION
- cooler than the most fans
- great design
- humidified air
- easy to use
- portable

SCORE/VERDICT

SPT SF-613 LED Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer Review

SPT SF-613 LED Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer
Average Reviews:

This unit is the same as the Tayama Air Cooler TC-998 and works as poorly.
Only after filling the entire tray with ice and water chilled overnight does this thing have any cooling effect and even than, it's only for an hour or so.
Anything less then ice and ice water will do nothing more than generate humidity and waste power.
Save your money and buy a real AC unit for supplemental cooling.

Designed with micro-computer controls, this versatile and economic air cooler, humidifier, fan, and air filter with ionizer can lower the surrounding temperature and add humidity to the air through the principle of water evaporation. Using much less energy than an air conditioner, the air cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat). The unit sucks air through a wick saturated with water; as the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream--considerably cooler than the current room temperature--then gets blown out the front of the unit through oscillating louvers for even distribution. The appliance can also be used as just a fan or a humidifier when temperature is not an issue. Easily change the settings with the included remote control. Other highlights include an LED panel; three air speeds; a washable filter; a double-layered filtration mesh water curtain; locking casters for smooth mobility; and a timer that can be set from a half hour to seven-and-a-half hours. Though perfect for use in dry climates, please note that the appliance does not work very effectively in areas with high humidity since it utilizes water to cool. The 60-watt air cooler measures 11-1/2 by 14-1/2 by 31-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler Review

SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, this is NOT an air conditioner. If you expect your room to be freezing cold, this is not the product for you. It's a COOLER, and it does its job very well. It works by evaporating water. Try soaking a T-shirt, wringing it out, and putting it on wet to get the effect. It doesn't work very well in humid areas, but it works GREAT where the air is dry.
I'm in southern California, where the humidity varies pretty widely. I place the cooler six or eight feet from my chair, and on the hottest days I'm quite comfortable.
Benefits:
* it's about 1/5 the cost of an air conditioner
* operating expense is a fraction of the cost of air conditioning
* neat features! (timer, sleep function, etc.)
* remote control
Drawbacks:
* it's not freezing cold like air conditioning.

Versatile, lightweight, and economical, this evaporative air cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in the home or office. Unlike a fan that blows hot air and more energy efficient than an air conditioner, the appliance uses water to cool a personal space up to 12 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. The air cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat). The unit sucks air through a wick saturated with water; as the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. A cool air stream then gets blown out the front of the unit through oscillating louvers for even distribution.
The appliance can also be used as just a fan or a humidifier when temperature is not an issue. Easily change the settings with the included remote control. The unit provides an air flow of 23 feet per second, a water-consumption rate of 0.6 to 0.7 liters per hour, and a 10-liter water-tank capacity. Other details include a nylon and photocatalystic filter, three air speeds, a sleep mode, and a timer that can be set from a half hour to seven-and-a-half hours. Though perfect for use in dry climates, please note that the appliance does not work very effectively in areas with high humidity since it utilizes water to cool. The 60-watt air cooler measures 12 by 16 by 25 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

PuraPC Computer Air Filter Material Review

PuraPC Computer Air Filter Material
Average Reviews:

This is a must have for those who have multiple openings in their computer case. The case I'm currently using has 4 drive bays and two 120mm fans in the front. Even though they came with filters, they were the cheap kind. I opted to buy the computer air filter product here and taped it to the front of my case (i'm not big on aesthetics). After a week or so, i noticed a white circle of dust appearing on the filter. It's great to know that all that junk isn't messing up my gaming computer. I highly recommend this to people who want to care for their investments.

By placing a computer dust filter over an intake, you reduce the risk of dust related PC illnesses, such as overheating, system failure, and permanent data loss. Using PuraPC's washable computer air filter system can prevent these ailments. This dust filter material helps stop dust from entering any PC or server without any increase in temperature. The computer air filter material is installed over intake fans and vents as to not restrict the exhaust. Filters should not be placed over an exhaust, as this traps heat, and dust doesn't enter your computer this way. The cool air that is drawn into your PC through intake vents and fans is how dust enters the computer.
