The EdgeStar High Velocity Portable Air Cooler is the most powerful, best cooling portable air cooler for home use on the market today. Don't confuse it with smaller air coolers - this is the only air cooler we have seen that boasts the power to provide relief from the heat for an entire room . How does the EdgeStar High Velocity Air Cooler perform so much better than the competition? The secret is two-fold: EdgeStar teamed a powerful state-of-the-art centrifugal fan with an Australian-made honeycomb water curtain. The honeycomb water curtain allows more water circulation with less resistance to airflow, and the centrifugal fan gently and powerfully "throws" a jet of air up to 25 feet - the longest air throw in the category! This process also makes the EAC421W a functional humidifier. Don't confuse this portable air cooler with other models on the market - the EdgeStar EAC421W portable air cooler offers features and value that the competition can't match. Coldest airflow of any unit tested- most air coolers can provide a 12°F drop in air temperature under ideal conditions. We tested this EdgeStar portable air cooler against other units currently in the market, under realistic usage conditions, and its airflow was as much as 5°F colder than the best-performing competitor! Most powerful airflow of any unit tested- the EdgeStar high velocity portable air cooler provides airflow of about 900 CFM and an air throw distance of up to 25 feet. This performance is up to twice as powerful as other units on the market. Room-cooling power- Generally, portable air coolers are best thought of as souped-up fans- able to cool the air they blow, but unable to cool an entire room. The EdgeStar high velocity portable air cooler is not a portable air conditioner , but with its powerful centrifugal fan and honeycomb water curtain cooling system, it can provide cool relief to multiple people in rooms of up to 250 square feet! Environmentally-friendly "green" cooling- Unlike portable air conditioners, this unit uses no freon and no CFC's- and it consumes 1/4 the power of an air conditioner! In addition to the above features, the EdgeStar high velocity portable air cooler also features 3 different fan speeds, the option to add ice for additional cooling, a long-lasting 5 gallon water reservoir, a remote control, a fan-only setting, and the ability to operate as a humidifier. Plus, it only uses 250 Watts to cool- that's about 1/4 the energy required by most air conditioners! This unit is not a portable air conditioner. We tested this unit under varying conditions and found it helped relieve heat in rooms of up to 250 square feet.
