Blows as cold as an A/C unit & with POWER!



I bought this unit from the Home Depot. I was actually concerned because I like to read online reviews first, via my favorite place to shop - Amazon.com. I was desperate on this hot day 3 weeks ago, so I took the gamble.

This unit is AMAZING. I own one other KuulAire PACKA44 350 CFM (smaller version, but very good). I also own a Sunpentown SPT SF-608R or as I like to call it a "Suckpentown." The Sunpentown was a little better than a paperweight. Much cheaper, but doesn't work nearly as well as any other evaporative cooler.

Back to the KuulAire PACKA53- This thing is AMAZING. It has a very attractive display with all the standard features of an evaporative cooler. The only thing I would change is the fill tray. It only allows for a small opening to fill the reservoir. This opening is impossible to even squeeze the smallest ice cube into. Solution? I simply opened the fill drawer and hack sawed the thing right off! I now have a space big enough to fit 4-inch ice cubes. I would recommend purchasing Tovolo KING Cube Ice Trays, Available on Amazon.

For the money -$175 at the Home Depot- hands down this is the best evaporative cooler you can get your hands on. It blows cold, it blows strong, it has a giant reservoir of 4 gallons, and the unit is all around attractive.

The KuulAire PACKA44 Portable Evaporative Cooling Unit is one of most efficient ways to keep cool, indoors or out! You can rely on the PACKA44 for all your cooling needs during those hot months. This unit is extremely powerful and cools with no harmful refrigerants! Its large airflow capacity allows for superior cooling that can cover up to 175-Square Feet lowering the temperature 10-25 degrees. Heavy-duty casters make it portable and easy to move while the small footprint makes it perfect for keeping small places cool. The 7.5 hour timer allows "pre-cooling" of spaces just set it and forget it! For added peace of mind it includes a one year manufacturer's warranty. What is Evaporative Cooling - Remember the chill of getting out of a swimming pool on a hot day? That's evaporative cooling.

Evaporative cooling units create a natural effect and provide a constant flow of cool, refreshing air into hot, uncomfortable environments. The heart of an evaporative cooling system is the evaporative pad. A pump pushes water over the pads and a fan pulls the air through the pads. The water evaporates within the pads and the air passing through the pads is cooled. Port-A-Cool products are manufactured in the USA by Port-A-Cool, LLC, in Center, Texas, and the company is recognized as an industry leader with Port-A-Cool products being respected in both the United States and international marketplaces. Why Buy-Cools using regular tap water and 115v with no harmful refrigerants. No assembly required and easy to maintain. Lowers temperature 10-25 degrees with its all-natural, effective cooling technique. Use it in conjunction with an A/C to boost the cooling!
