KuulAire PACKA44 350 CFM Portable Evaporative Cooler with 175 Square Foot Cooling Capacity, Silver

The fan blows a lot of air, but does not cool the air that well.

This is my second KuulAire unit. I use this as a super humidifier in AZ during the winter. It works great for pushing water into the air and also calls the room down a bit for good sleeping. I've tried tons of humidifiers and can never find one that pushes enough moisture without running out partway thru the night. A relative told me to try one of these and they work great. Pretty easy to clean, do need to order replacement medium after about 3 months. I drain it weekly and use vinegar to give it a deep clean. I have NO idea what it's like as an actual cooling device as I don't use if for that reason.

As far as I am concerned .... absolutely useless!! I guess when you are used to real air conditioning this unit just does not measure up. Initially, when we added water and turned on the unit it stunk something fierce. We live in Northern California with an average humidity of 10-15% and after running the unit it added so much humidity that I thought I was in Louisiana. All it does is add noise, humidity and cooling is not even in the picture. We are omitting the water and use it as a noisy fan in another part of the house!!

when I first used it, it was cooling pretty good. the second time I used it, it started spitting out water through the fan. I think I have a malfunction and may have to return the item. if someone can give me some suggestions, that would be great

I bought this on Amazon. Works great. I use it when i go camping, open flap tent. I slept like a baby. No more noise than a fan. Mine didnt leak. I recommended this to another camper. This is not an ac unit. It does what it says it can do. Read instructions. Itt will not work in a closed environment. It works great in my tent.

unit does its job. a bit noisy

Personally I like to see the reviews of the angry people who purchased these wonderful little coolers and then go bonkers when it just makes the room "like a jungle". For evap cooling you must have lots of air in and lots of air out. I have mineral rich tap water so I am running it with distilled to prevent mineral buildup in the pad. The fan is loud, lots of white noise of the air moving through and around the pad and fins, definitely something you can sleep with though, especially when it is hot.For those poor souls who are angry with this little "like a jungle" machine, send me yours, I will gladly put it to good use.

Received unit, plugged it in. Power light comes on but nothing works. Unit smells like it is getting hot even though it is not running and it appeared to be damp when I removed it from the packaging. Will be returning. I have another unit by the same manufacturer which cools a larger sq ft and works perfectly. I think this may have been a return item already but not marked properly.
