Sunpentown Air Cooler with Ionizer Review
Sunpentown Air Cooler with Ionizer Review from EliYah. Works well in the right space, I’ve used swamp coolers for years but can’t have on in this 10th floor apartment with no porch. I use this cooler to both cool and humidify my bedroom. It does a good job, and unlike the other reviewer I find it easy to fill; I keep a gallon jug in the bedroom and fill it from the tub. It takes around 2 1/2 gallons, which lasts me around 18 hours. It’s quiet at low and medium settings; the high fan speed is louder, of course. It costs almost nothing to operate, too.
It only cools if the humidity is below 40%. The humidity here ranges from 5% in mid-summer and mid-winter to maybe 25% when it’s overcast (when it rains it’s cool and more humid anyways). Check your average humidity; if it’s above 30% or 40% this may not help you.
Second, if you put it inside a room, even with the door open, it will happily humidify and cool away UNTIL the humidity in the room reaches around 40%. Then it just gets humid.
Here’s how I use it:
In the winter I put it in the doorway of my bedroom and run the ceiling fan on low in that room and the adjacent room. I then open a window in the adjacent room (yes, I like things very cool). The cooler pulls the dry air into the bedroom, cools and humidifies it, and the ceiling fan distributes it.
In summertime I put the unit inside the bedroom. I blow air-conditioned (read: dry) air from the adjacent room to the bedroom at night. This circulates the dry air over to the cooler, which humidifies it and cools it a few more degrees.
As you can see, this ISN’T an air conditioner, which would cost three to four times as much and suck up lots more electricity. If it was ducted to a window it would force air through the room and cool like a swamp cooler. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything that does this. Until I do I’ll keep this unit as long as it runs.
