Summary "Negligible cooling nets Cool Surge portable air cooler a Consumer Reports Don't Buy judgment" It's amazing the FTC hasn't gone after this company by now. IMO, this miracle cooler is an even worse scam than their Amish miracle heater. I see their full page ads in the local newspaper all the time. No explanation of how it works, or exactly what it is, only phrases that attribute it's workings to a miracle of engineering from the China coast. Now we know from Consumers Reports that it's nothing more than an overpriced swamp cooler, with some added ice trays that hardly lowered their test room temp at all, even in a room with low humidity. |

Evaporative coolers work great for homes in places where the humidity is low. In areas that are desert like, the coolers are wonderful. The things aren't worth a damn around here in the Southeast for cooling a home. TDD And they need alot of wet pad area to give the air a chance to actually cool down from the evaporation. Most of the little coolers simply don't have enough pad area to do much of anything. |
