Review on Honeywell CL25AE White Portable Environmental Appliance, 500 CFM by Eric Ramen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much more effective in semi-arid or desert climates

Make sure you understand how evaporative cooling compares to air conditioning. It works well on the dry easter slope of the Rocky Mountains. The air flow covers the large living room well. Wheels make it easy to move the cooler around the room. There is enough water in the tank for a whole evening without refilling. Remember the basic physical principles of refrigeration. In the best case, an evaporative cooler lowers the room temperature by 15-20 degrees. Usually it's closer to 10 degrees. With increasing relative humidity and room humidity, the efficiency of the cooler decreases. Evaporative coolers generally do not work well above 50% humidity. Evaporative coolers increase the humidity in the room, making the room stuffy. Moisture-sensitive items should be stored away from evaporative coolers.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
