Bought this air cooler from Harvey Norman expo show recently. Not really a planned purchase but the hot weather recently plus a not too bad pricing, i pulled the trigger and get one to try it out.
So air cooler generate cool air by circulate cold water through the fan and in the process, reduce the heat that come out from it. Look at the picture below and you will get a better idea.
Cornell air cooler comes with 2 ice packs and a remote controller
This is how the ice pack looks like, you need to put this in your freezer for 4 hours.
To use this ice pack, you just put it inside the water tank with water. To make the ice pack last longer, you can actually pour cold water inside the water tank or even out some ice inside. Picture below shows the internal of the water tank. You can see that water pipe is used to circulate water through the fan unit.
There are small wheel below so this air cooler is quite portable
So how does Cornell air cooler perform? After a use for few days. i feel that it is not too bad for the price i pay. The fan speed might not be strong but is adequate for bedroom as you usually sit or sleep closer to the air cooler. However for living room, you probably need a unit that has a more powerful fan.
Another thing to take note is this type of air cooler just do horizontal swing and it is not able to adjust the flow vertically. So if you happen to sleep on the mattress on the floor instead of on the bed. You might not able to feel the flow completely.
I bought this fan for SGD 88 from the expo show but you can actually buy this from Harvey Norman for SGD 98 as of the date i publish this post.
