Purchased this cooler in 2006 and still I am using it without any problem only that I have replaced its honeycomb cooling pad once. If ice is added along with water cooling becomes effective which you cannot bear in the mid night hours when temperature drops and I was forced to switch off the cooler many a times. The cooler is good.
Cools the room quite effectively. The size of the cooler is quite small as a result quite portable. Its easy to move it around from room to room. Cooling is enough for two people, the swing-cooling distributes the air uniformly which helps in good and proper distribution of cold air. Overall its a very good product in its price bracket
