Whynter Eco-Friendly 5 in 1 Evaporative Air Cooler (HAC-100S) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Whynter Air Cooler/Heater/Humidifier
Timeframe: 2 months
My usage conditions: 51F to 78F, Humidity 60% to 80%
Functions used: Heater, evaporative air cooler, humidifier.
Design:
I selected this primarily for the design and color scheme. I did not want another white/beige appliance or some psychedelic blue or pink candy painted device. Conventionally shaped and subtle in overall appearance. Top marks.
Functionality: The Whynter air cooler is a misnomer, while it does a solid job cooling a 150square foot space, it does a whole lot more than cool. The heat was nice to have when the temperature dipped and the humidity control is very useful when dealing with dry air resulting from heater use. Intuitive and easy to control. The water tank at the base take a bit of jiggering to slide in and out but otherwise I do not have any issues with it. The filters built into the unit do provide some degree of purification. My room air purifier lasted about 30% longer before the indicator light came on. It is light weight and portable, but be careful when you move it with the water tank filled.
Quality:
Well built with softtouch controls. The remote control was responsive and fit nicely into the attached holster on the unit. Material is were primarily plastic. Easy to clean and maintain. Pre-filter is easily removed and cleaned. No fuss device.
Price:
Quite reasonable for all that it does. I would take this over 3 or 4 separate devices any day.
Overall:
One of my better purchases this year. top scores across the board.

Unlike a fan that blows hot air, the HAC-100S air cooler cools personal air space significantly more than a regular fan, using about the same amount of power as a light bulb. An air cooler is a cost effective alternative to more expensive portable air conditioners. Great for the home or office, these air coolers are environmentally friendly because they do not use utilize freon and CFC refrigerants. This Whynter air cooler also incorporates a sophisticated humidifier system that provides a controlled cool mist of healthy, natural humidification. The internal air purifying system activates the carbon filter to capture particulates and then use water to filter dust, pollen and pollutants, trap them in the honeycomb filter and then wash them away.

Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner (ARC-14S) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this to supplement the window unit I've been using for years and ended up just completely replacing the window unit.
Very robotic design, it stands around 3ft tall and is in fact rather slim once you take it out of the packaging. Came with all the necessary accessories to get it running immediately. Hooking it up and putting the hot air vent where my window A/C used to be was extremely straightforward.
We usually power it up after my daughter returns from pre-school and set the temperature to around 74F. It usually shuts off at about 2am when the room and outside temps are nice and comfortable. The air is extremely cold around the unit and gets a good sized room down to a nice temp really fast. It seems very quiet during the day with all the other sounds and my daughter has slept like a baby ever since we got it. I does emit a low hum when it's cooling but otherwise the fan sound is not noticeable to me. You can turn it on high for a few minutes but after awhile, that's overkill. It does a great job on a low fan setting once the room is almost at the temp you want it at.
I really like the idea of not having to use central air like in our old apartment. I think over time the utility savings will easily cover the cost of the unit. The best part is I can bring it with us if we ever move.
It's worked excellently for a couple of weeks now and I may just end up getting another for our own room.
