This evaporative air cooler/fan packs a lot of punch for quickly and powerfully blasting cold air throughout a midsize room. It's very easy to move it around, say if different parts of the house or office get hotter as the sun passes overhead. The design is made for ease of use, a compact and stolid machine that rather ingeniously uses simple evaporation to produce a soothing outpouring of cool air. Before you invest, remember that this unit works best in very arid environments, places with extremely low humidity. Those in the Southwest, Southern California and similar areas will find the Frigidaire 2-in-1 Personal Evaporative Air Cooler & Fan to be an indispensable addition to their hot, low-humidity household.

The unit arrived missing the remote and the manual. Also the door to the cooling filter was stuck shut. However, I was pleasantly surprised by customer service rep, Ingrid, for quickly taking care of all my issues. I hung in there to give it a try and I like it for a small space such as my office. The unit is very straightforward and simple in its operation. It does cool the air. The ice packs are perfect...just keep refreezing. If you have a problem, ask for Ingrid in customer service. She is prompt and attentive!

The product cools a bedroom or an individual nicely, but in humid climates it may not feel extremely cool for more than 3-4 hours, but it does what was expected.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The personal air cooler definitely helped to cool my bedroom down quite a bit. There is no assembly needed you just have to take it out of the box and plug it in. There are two reusable ice packs that you put into the water tank to lower the temperature of the water so that it cools more effectively. This air cooler works on the same pricipal as a swap cooler. I live in a dryer environment so it works well. If you live where there is lots of humidity the evaporative cooling might not work as well. All in all I am pleased with the unit.

I received my personal air cooler and couldn't wait to try it out. There was no assembly needed, it was literally out of the box. If you just want to use the fan mode all you have to do is plug it in. If you use the evaporate air mode, just freeze the 2 ice packs that are included place them in the tank and fill it with water. It can't get any easier then that. I used the air cooler in my office and closed in carport were I do woodworking, it helped keep the room comfortable. No it doesn't blow ice cold air , but it helps especially on the really hot days. It is light weight, quiet and easy to move around.
