Evaporative Air Cooler Fan, Large 50 Litres

The Igenix 50L evaporative air cooler is a refrigerant-free way to keep small to medium, well-ventilated rooms cooler through summer, working as a fan, humidifier or cooler in one unit. Its large 50-litre water tank feeds a honeycomb evaporative filter: a powerful 200W motor draws warm air in, passes it through the water-soaked pads, and releases it back as a cooler, moister breeze. Because it uses only a 200W motor rather than a compressor, running costs are very low, in the region of 5p per hour at around 26p/kWh, a fraction of the cost of air conditioning. It needs no venting or installation, so there's no exhaust hose and no window kit to fit; just fill the tank, plug in and switch on. Honesty matters with evaporative coolers: they work by adding moisture to the air, so they perform best in drier conditions and underperform once humidity climbs above roughly 60-70%, which can happen during muggy UK spells. Used in a ventilated room on a dry, hot day, though, they deliver a genuine cooling breeze for a tiny fraction of an air conditioner's energy bill. At 15.3kg with a generous tank, this is a practical, economical cooling option for those wanting low-cost relief without refrigerant.
