I live on central coast and it's useless for that climate and the ice I was sick to death of buying ice made no real difference

Does what it says on the box. But Evaporative Coolers are useless above 50% Humidity

published

Not worth any more than $150. Despite the distributors comments here Evaps by design don't work above 50% RH. Takes the edge off but is a disposable appliance and won't last long

Total waste of money

published

Don't believe their lies!
Evaporative coolers have been around for a long time and everyone who's ever had one has only ever had 1 because they soon realise that they just make the air more humid and sticky and soon stop filling it with water and just use the fan only so do your pocket a favour and just buy a fan.

Way cheaper brand products out there - no need to run a TV hour on it

published

I have the Hyundai Evaporative Cooler 7.5L (White) and it was only $ 170. So much better benefit/cost ratio. I would assume that the product is made in Australia - the price at least suggests it.

More expensive than an air conditioner and doesn't work

published

You can buy an air conditioner from places like The Good Guys for $239 which actually cools you down, and the room it's in. Its also louder than an air conditioner. They will tell you things like "oh, but it uses hardly any electricity". This is true but it has ZERO effect on either you or the room. Don't be sucked in!

Purchased in for $500.

WORST CRAP EVER

It's awekward, does not chill, in fact the ceiling fan is 30 times better. Its loud, difficult to try and clean the paper cooling fans (no joke) and it smells after a day or two.
Waste of money and a total WASTE of money!!

WORTHLESS PRODUCT

published

Bought a 18EXfrom TV Shop. Boy am I disappointed.
I live in a humid climate and this does not cool the air down at all like advertised. And it is soo noisy to run.
Wish I had read the reviews before purchase. It seems like a lot of purchasers are not happy with the product.
I was out of the 30 day trial period to get a refund, s I am stuck with it.
I just want a refund . I paid $849.99!!!!
I am sending to Fair Trading, advertising is very misleading, and product hopeless.
I hope you all contact Fair trading as well. This product should not be on the Australian Market.

Purchased in for $849.99.

Waste of money!!

published

I purchased this 15EX Blue Instachil and it's a complete waste of money! You need to be sitting in front of it to get cool and it definitely does not cool down a small room! Very disappointed in this product! Wish I read the reviews prior to my purchase!!!

Not happy

published

The most disappointing $400 I have ever spent in my life. The unit is lightweight but feels flimsy, there is not enough room to put ice that would last longer than five minutes, the difference in temperature was negligible between using the fan alone and cool. We bought it for our bedroom, which is small, and the room actually felt hotter. The noise was intolerable and kept me awake. We only used it for one night. I cannot even watch TV with it running. We were told we could not return it for a refund, but could pick another unit! Not likely. Disappointed with the product, the service and the price. It has put me off ever going in the store again.

Purchased in at TV Direct for $400.
