This Evaporative Cooler Fan from Dimplex is an eco-friendly, healthy, and cost-efficient solution to keeping cool when the mercury rises. Using a natural process involving motion and the evaporation of water to cool air, distributed over a wide area via the fan with four speed settings.

An added benefit to its effective cooling is its air purification ability. The 20L water tank filters out dust particles, and provides you with naturally humidified air - especially ideal for dry regions of the country. The tank is removable but can also be filled directly from the top without being removed. The remote control makes it easy to set your preferred settings, and the 8-hour timer provides simple scheduling.

  Is this the best one atm for around this price range?

  I want to buy one for my grandma as it’s starting to get hot and portable aircons are way too loud/large for her small room.

    Bear in mind evaporative coolers don't work if relative humidity is higher than 50%.

    The lower RH is, the better they work.

      Seems like humidity on average is always over 50% over the Summer months in Melbourne…. :(

        I wouldn't get this if I were you. These things are a terribly design. The technology is sound, yes, but the idea of it being a freestanding appliance is completely ineffective. People buy these all the time, looking for a cheaper alternative to a portable ac, and then toss them out at the end of summer because they are junk.

        There is one way they work, which is how I use them (I'm in melbourne too btw): You mount them in a window frame. Air gets sucked in from outside, picks up moisture from the wicking bed, blows through the room, and then goes out through a second window.

        They don't do an amazing job (they lower the temp by about 3c over ambient) but they are a godsend at night when the cool change hits.

          @outlander: Why are you saying they are a godsend when it gets cooler ?

            @ChurchMouth: Because the only thing worse than a hot night, is when its hotter inside than out. Having even a simple fan to blow air through the room makes it so much easier to sleep.

              @outlander: Then I wouldn't be spending this much money when a ten bucks fan will do the job. Besides, it's easier to mount a fan on a window than this thing.

                @bargainparker: Very true. A fan gives 75% of the benefit. Infact, having two fans (one drawing in, one pushing out) in a piece of MDF has to be one of the cheapest quickest best ways to add cooling to a hot room.

                But these things aren't this price anyway. They are $20 second hand, or free on side of the road. In that case, having the water capability is a small upgrade, because it a)cools below ambiant b)you can get even cooler by using refrigerated water/ice c)moisture traps dust.

                The technology has its place, its just this particular implementation that's wack. I'm firmly of the opinion that the only people who buy it, are tricked into thinking its 'almost as good as a portable ac, but cheaper and less power hungry'

                lol. Those salesboys will getcha.

  Did that before we had the air con with a bit of a DIY. It did the job fine :)

    Brilliant minds think alike ;)

    Sadly, most of my life has been spent in non-brilliance. It amazes me sometimes to think of how many summers I sweltered through, that could have been solved with 20 bucks and like an hour of time.

      Failing that, there is always a basement :)
