Is there a way to get through the scorching heat of summer without getting hundreds of dollars in electric bills? Well, an evaporative air cooler sure can do. Evaporative cooling is very efficient, inexpensive to acquire, and most importantly it’s cheap to operate. The system in this cooler works by evaporating the water in the atmosphere which results in lowering SENSE temperature (Note: it doesn’t cool down the air actually). This phenomenon is very common in the nature and we humans also use is this phenomenon every time it’s hot outside. You see, when it’s hot, we sweat a lot and that sweat gets converted into water vapors leaving our skin cool. Here’s another example for better understanding, when you turn on your sprinklers in the garden and you stand near to the area being watered, you will notice that the air is much cooler than the rest of the area. Now, I have been using Dreo Evaporative Air Cooler for the past couple of weeks and I love everything about it, more on that later. The area I live in, it’s very hot, and not a lot of moisture here. I tried using other air coolers and air conditioners but those consume a lot of energy resulting in high electricity bills. The cooling was not much effective. I wanted something with low energy consumption and environmentally friendly. I hope onto the internet and started for the best air coolers and I came across Dreo evaporative air cooler. I was not sure about the technology used in it so I searched about it and I got really impressed with it. I placed my order right away and started eagerly waiting for my new evaporative air cooler. I received my air cooler after 3 days the packaging to the point. I am not a geeky person, even for me, the assembly was pretty easy. Overall, I believe this is an optimal evaporative air cooler money can buy. It’s light, sleek-looking, gets the work done without any noise, and most importantly it saves a lot of energy. It’s been a couple of weeks and my electricity bill is already lower than the previous one.

Now I want to inform the logic behind this device and how it works. The way it works is that water is absorbed by a material fiber behind the fan and air flowing through it creates cool air. This is the method behind the evaporative air cooler. It has 3 fan speeds which surprisingly push a lot of air and is quite fast I must say. It has a cool air mode that requires water in its tank that is all the way at the bottom and utilizes that for cooling, while you can also use it as a fan only. It has a running timing mode that runs on the number of hours you apply and automatically turns off after that; maximum hours that it can run for is 7 hours.Now the coolness of your air depends on the temperature of the water in your tank and room temperature but I'll talk about that separately. If the water you pour is really cold, then you should expect the same level of cool air but if the water is warm, then it doesn't exactly produce that cool of a air. DREO in order to help providing cold air provided 2 ice pack blocks as well. The goal is to place them in the freezer and then when you are ready to use the DREO fan, then pour the water and place the ice blocks in the tank. This should cause the water in the tank to get cold and thus providing you with cool air.Now as I mentioned earlier about room temperature, well that plays a huge factor in your cooling. THIS WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR AC, even the manufacturer mentions that. So if you room is really warm then this is not going to be able to cool your room. If you live in a humid environment, then this is not suitable for you because it creates a muggy environment. If you live in such an environment, then I would avoid this and instead get an actual AC. If you live in a slightly humid or dry climate, then this will help as it really does provide a nice humid environment. So with your cool AC air and this results in a great cold air in your room.My only gripe I have is that their is plenty of water in the water for the fan to absorb for but it considers it empty and thus no longer absorbs the water. This leaves issues like water remaining and if you have a hard water problem then that would mean cleaning the tank often.So in summary:Pros:- Great cool air- Pushes a lot of air- Low noise and is not bothersome but everyone has they're own preference- Remote control providedCons:- Coolness depends on the coolness of your water, room temperature and Humidity- Not all the water is absorbed and there is enough water in the tank for it to absorb more water but thefan deems the tank to be empty which can lead to dirty water accumulation and requires cleaning attimes

I am a very light sleeper, even the slightest sound can wake me up. This evaporative air cooler works very quietly. I never had a night in which I woke up due to its noise.Coming at just 13.2 lbs, it’s not heavy at all. I can easily move it around my house. The design of this cooler is very sleek and unlike other air coolers which come in block shape, this one is in tower form factor. This ensures that it does not occupy a lot of area in my bedroom or any other place.The touch panel offers a full range of motion including oscillation, humidifying, fan speed, and timer settings which makes the cooling more personalized to my liking. It’s also good to control the settings with the included remote. The remote can perform every function which touch panel can. Included on the remote is also the sleep setting which I can customize for my liking.
