SPT Evaporative Air Cooler with Rotating Louver, SF-616

I purchased this evaporative cooler to take the edge off of my child's play room. We have a couple other evaporative coolers in the house that work well for larger areas, but wanted something smaller and that used less electrical power for that application. I bought based on price, the 65 watt usage and the louvers. It arrived in good condition and completely assembled. Entirely plastic, but seems well made. Smaller than expected. Likes: the controls work well, nice to have the water level window, does what it should (cools a small room as can be expected from an evaporative cooler). Dislikes: feeding water is time consuming due to small intake hole, louvers dont really do much it rotates and could be a nice feature, but I think the pitch is too low or non existant, so the air mostly goes straight.

Update 1.17.03:

Stopped using when it started to leak. Still works if you put a cookie pan underneath, but I recovered my previous portable AC unit (cooling fins needed cleaning, covered in lint/dust causing it to shut down) and switched back to the AC unit.

This swamp cooler does a reasonable job in a small room. I agree with the comment that it is a pain to fill, but most portable swamp coolers I've ever owned are difficult in that way. It would be better if it were easier to disassemble to clean.

I ordered two of these units. Both are fully operational, however the ionizer LED does not operate on one of them. However, it's not worth returning it for that. The owner's manual leaves much to be desired. There are options on the control panel that are not explained, such as "sleep" and "natural" modes. When engaged, they seem to somewhat randomize the operation speed and temporarily shut down the unit for a few seconds, which I find extremely distracting.

These were shipped under Amazon Prime, which promises two day delivery. However, it took four days for these to be delivered.

Update: in the middle of the second season of use, one of the units started leaking badly. I won't be buying another from this manufacturer.

Update 2: Exactly one year later, the other unit started leaking like a sieve.

I only give it one star as I can't give it zero.

Buy SPT Evaporative Air Cooler with Rotating Louver, SF-616 Now

I am a college student in a dorm that has no air conditioning. I bought this and It was delivered aprox. 2 hours ago. I am so glad that I got it! Since I'm not so experienced with it, I've only mastered the air cooling feature. So for that, I will give a review: It is absolutely wonderful. Since we are not able to have our own air conditioning units, this suffices! I love the large fan with the rotating louver. When you are sitting in one place you feel the cool air circulate around you! Adding ice makes the air extra chilly. I cannot believe there are no other reviews for this product! I am in love with it!

We bought this cooler to help with the heat on our screened in porch. It works well and allows us to stay on the porch on even the very hot days.

If you are looking for an alternative to a high-power fan, this is not the item to order. Although it does push cold air, it's just not enough to cool a bedroom. It doesn't have enough power behind it. Also, if you use the water feature and plan to sleep in, the water feature doesn't last that long. You would have to wake up, refill, then go back to bed. Not intended for any teenager.
