Buy EdgeStar Portable Air Cooler & Purifier

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this unit last week to help cool our RV. It's a nice looking unit (a little difficult to move as it has no handle), and had a nice wide blowing area when it pivots. The problem is the temperature of the air it blows doesn't change whether it's on fan mode or evaporative cooling mode. I tested it by putting a thermometer about a foot away and ran it on each mode for 1/2 hour. The internet vendor says to contact the manufacturer, and the manufacturer informed me that since the air curtain gets wet and it changed the temp by 2 degrees, then the unit is working, just not as well as expected (the sales literature mentions a 12 degree difference.) So my choices now are to pay the postage and 15% restocking fee to return it and/or perhaps have it worked on (except that the company rep kept insisting that it worked so what could they do?) or keep it and use it as a fan that I paid way too much for.

I've been through two of these. The first produced room temperature air directly from the fan louveres. I am in a Very low humidity area. Also when the unit is turned off but still plugged in ,the control panel gets almost too hot to touch. Edgestar service said everything seems normal but allowed me to return the unit. It is a really nice looking cooler and I wanted it to work so I got a replacement. The second unit produced 4 degree cooler air. The controls still got hot enough for me to consider it a fire hazard. The ocillating feature also didn't work. This unit was also returned. The service Tech let it slip that 4 degrees was about normal and the catch was " Up To " 12 degrees cooler. A much cheaper tower fan would probably be a better choice than this.

Just an expensive fan after the water cooling part of it broke. It only lasted about a month before breaking. Didn't cool even our very small room when it did work. If you stood right in front of the air flow, it felt cooler. When it was over 100 degrees, that was somewhat helpful in keeping our baby a little more comfortable in her nursery, so I was sad when it stopped working. I'll update if customer service ever gets back to me (I had to leave a message) and if they can get it fixed. Update: they called back that very day and paid to have it shipped back to them to fix (I had to pay to have it boxed b/c I didn't keep the box).

Honest reviews on EdgeStar Portable Air Cooler & Purifier

Anyone who has been stuffed in a cubicle or works in a stuffy office knows how much one of these would be appreciated. I got this one for myself and was so pleased that I bought one for my father and co-worker as a gift.

This specific unit is good for me because of the ionic air purifier. It works especially good with smoke odor as well as any other office stench. Pretty much everyone in my office has an air cooler but I had read great reviews on this one and how it actually cools the space around it as some other air coolers are pretty much fans, this one really does lower the temperature.

This definitely provides cooling to a room. But it's louder than I would like and blows air like a fan. Not sure I see the difference btw using water with it. The unit is cool as it is-not sure the water makes it any cooler.
