Review on 🌀 Quilo QE1SKS Portable Tower Fan - Quiet, Energy Efficient, 3-in-1 Evaporative Cooler & Humidifier by Vanessa Jones

I am generally happy with my Quilo. But there are some strange things. First, they don't seem to offer replacement pads. So, for those who own it or are considering buying it, I found a place in Tucson, Arizona that makes a custom gasket for $35. They're called Aircool. The Quilo has less fan power than I expected, although more air doesn't always mean more cooling due to factors like surface area and dwell time. The fan also only blows air through the left half of the fins, but you can rotate them to direct the air to the right, so it's not a big deal. Finally, the converter (110v to 24v) generates more heat than it should at such a low power. While this works to some extent against cooling, Quilo is not a cooler that will make a large difference in temperature even in a small room anyway. This is a cooler that feels really good sitting right in front of it. Finally, the Kickstarter campaign didn't portray exactly what it was, so folks who don't understand the limitations of evaporative cooling may be disappointed. For example, the graphic compares the energy costs of a window air conditioner and a Quilo air conditioner. apples and oranges. To cool even a small room, you need a panel with more surface area, a more powerful fan, and more water. Quilo sits somewhere between larger portable evaporative coolers and one of those little fans you take to festivals with atomizers. You have to be very close to him to feel a lot. FYI, I have a very dry climate so I use Quilo in ideal conditions.
