Convair Arctic Breeze Swamp Cooler Review
Convair Arctic Breeze Swamp Cooler Review from Joe from LA. Relief!, After considerable research on this type of cooler, and despite some caveats that are out there, I chose this one. An important consideration was my ability to contact a live person at the company that supplies/manufactures the unit. She provided much useful information and comparisons of the units that I was considering. I live in Southern California, in a large two-story home with central air, but only one zone. On hot days, the temperature upstairs will get into the 90’s, and by the time the CA gets it down to a bearable level, the downstairs is uncomfortably cool. I was looking for an efficient and economical alternative. Good news and bad news. The bad is that when I started the unit, squatting in front of it to see the controls, I got an unexpected (and unneeded) bath. A call to the manufacturer and 35 minutes of trouble shooting led to the conclusion that it was defective out of the box. A call to the local distributor (Air & Water)on a Friday resulted in delivery of a replacement the following Tuesday. The second unit works perfectly. A little over an hour after I had turned it on, the upstairs temperature, in a rather large bedroom/bathroom area, had dropped by 11 degrees. It runs surprisingly quiet. If aesthetics are an important consideration, this unit may not be for you because it isn’t pretty. It is quite light, however, and can be moved easily or hidden when not in use. As always, time will tell, but for the moment I am very happy with this purchase. It cools a large area–over 400 sq ft, quickly, relatively quietly, and I am sure a lot more efficiently than my central air.
