KuulAire PACKA50 Portable Evaporative Cooling Unit with 350 Square Foot Cooling Capacity, 750 CFM



I think KA50 doing a good job at what it aims to do. Since I live in Arizona, it's very dry here. I quit using it all year. In the summer of his used to cool the house and in the winter to add moisture to the air side on the outside dry. When output is called the 350 sq ft, they mean it.

Since it has a lot of water, it can be hard to fill, so I use a hose from my laundry sink. If you do not have one, you can use a water fish trap in the opposite direction. There is a meter that tells how much water is in the unit (min - max). It's just a float attached to a piece of plastic to push up the meter. FYI, if the drive is empty or very low, the flow tends to get stuck and end up over the filling of the device, because it will still say my time fully. A simple push on the machine loses float and you're good to go. Something to think about, but would not deter me from buying.

The unit has five wheels on it and go with little effort on tile or carpet. (No complaints here)

Sleep: I can not see myself using it so much. All it does is to switch between low, medium and high fan, and prices can be a bit annoying with varying noise, there is a drastic sound difference between low and high.

Air direction is easy to control. There is a button that allows the system to swing left to right or desktop. The vertical control is manually adjusted by turning the vertical slats up and down in preset positions which they click on. (No complaints here)

Size: Large. By ownership, I was glad of his size. I know that the measurements are stationed, but when you look at it in a store vs. time in his room to change the perspective a lot. Not something that would deter me from buying, just something to think about. Measure of how its once before you buy.

It has a removable filter at the back. Basic construction. Snap off, clean and snap again. (No complaints here)

Hours: again, basic. You have an option for 1-8 hours to drive up an hour at a time.

The device can be used for cooling (water pump) or just as a fan (you guessed it, water pump off).

Has a remote and a cradle to hold it when not in use. (Reduces the change in the distant err)

It has a powerful fan and has a button you can adjust to control how much moisture to add air. My only complaint is that it is a bit on the high side.

All in all, it's a great machine and does what is advertised. If you use it in the same room you sleep in, you may want to use ear plugs, lol. As previously mentioned, it is not exactly the quietest part of the equipment in the house. The best use I'd probably use it when you're at work or have the machine in another room block some of the noise. You watch TV with this device next to you is not exactly an easy task. It is not intended for smaller spaces such as production of this machine is great. At very high volumes. It is more a lounge than a single room or an entire apartment. FYI, if you have high humidity in your area, no evaporative coolers useless. They are designed for dry weather.
