Luma Comfort EC45S Tower Evaporative Cooler with 125 Square Foot Cooling, 250 CFM

I live in a studio apartment where a 10,000-BTU a/c handles most of the cooling.

Unfortunately, the cold air doesn't quite reach the bathroom, around a corner through an alcove.

So for many years I have had a Slant/Fin Personal Zone Air Cooler perched on the window sill in there (it's a pre-war building with windows in the bathrooms), pointed down at me when I'm, uh, reading...

The S/F finally conked -the motor gave out, and water leaked through the water level indicator window -so I was looking for a compact air cooler to fit in the bathroom. S/F no longer makes air coolers, apparently.

Enter this unusual tower, which looks rather like one might expect Dr. Who's nemesis, a Dalek, to look like if the cyborg slimmed down and became a fashion model... Like a Dalek, this tower rolls around on casters, but it lacks a plunger or exterminator ray!

Goodness, but this Dalek blows a gust of cool air! If you used this just as a tower fan, it seems to blow more air at the highest of three fan speed settings than any tower fan I've ever encountered -strong enough to make a plastic bottle of dental solution wobble on the bathtub rim three or four feet away!

But things get even cooler when you push the Cool button, activating a water pump that moistens a sponge-like wick through which air blows inside the tower. You add water to the reservoir that slides back from the base of the tower; the tower also comes with two ice packs you can chill in your freezer and slide into compartments in the water reservoir, yielding extra cool air for up to four hours, according to the instructions.

Other functions include a timer for automatic shut-off, side-to-side oscillation, a sleep mode that throttles down as the night air cools off while you sleep, and a "natural" mode, which randomly changes fan speed to simulate real breezes.

I am impressed by the manufacturer's attention to detail here. When you push a button, for example, the control lights get brighter, then dim after a few minutes. The tower also comes with a handy remote, duplicating all functions on the top switch panel. And the tower includes a washable air filter to keep the wick from getting gunked up by dust in the air.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether I will need to add some bleach to the water to prevent the fetid smells most coolers and humidifiers give off over time. The instructions don't address this issue. I can't imagine that the wick is treated with a germ-retardant that will continue to work after weeks and months.

In the meantime, however, this tower of power is sure keeping my bathroom cool and comfortable! The tower would probably work in any setting where you are within a fiveor six-foot radius. I should mention as well that the fan is quiet, even at the highest setting.

I will report back if I encounter any problems. Until then, I am impressed by the amount of cooling this tower provides, running on less energy than an incandescent light bulb consumes...

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in Hollywood CA. I have an in wall ac unit like most people do out here and no A/C in my bedroom. So I decided to try this out.... Well I couldn't be happier. Even with my window closed this fan is strong enough to keep me cool. I usually don't even put water in it but if you want it to be cold get 2 gallons of water put them in the fridge for a day then throw them in this thing. Will make it even colder. I get very hot very very easily and still have no problem with it. Love it!

I purchased this product because my office tends to be around 5 degrees higher than I'm comfortable with. I looked around for a protable air conditioner, but since I did not have a place to vent that was rulled out plus they are really expensive. I read all the reviews and decided to take a chance on this product.

My office is only 150 SF so the room is small, plus there is air-conditioning in my office. I am in the NorthEast so our summers are hot and humid.

The Cooler is definately working and dropping my office tempurature around 5 degrees just enough to make it comfortable. The cooler packs that they provide help keep the water cold and produces a very fine mist (I can feel it sometimes but it does not impact paperwork)

The only reason I did not give the product a full five starts is that it has a small "tinkling" sound when the water is running though it's cooling process. Makes me need to "tinkle" myself.

I don't think this product would work outside in the humidity in the northeast but if you need an office or cubicle that needs a bit of cooling this product works great.

The huge tree that used to shade my house was taken down this Spring. I bought this evaporative cooler to help with the increased heat. Last week we had 3 days of 100 degrees in a row. At 4pm on the third day the house was 76 degrees, which I think is success. The water holding tank is a little difficult to pull out to fill, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. Warning though, only good in low humidity climates. I could feel a rise is humidity in the room, which in Colorado is almost welcomed. This unit is good for small areas. I like the sleek non-bulky look. It is quiet enough.

This is by far the worst product I've bought in many years. It's extremely loud and obnoxious. it sounds just like roadwork. This unit destroyed out living room carpet. We woke up to the giant stain in the middle of the room.

So in conclusion: water leakage, horrible sound and not much of the cooling benefit DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Sharper Image Hot + Cold Snack Box (SI712)

We used two units. They lasted 14 months each, then died. They were loud.

It worked great for keeping soft drinks cold at work for about a year and a half, then the fan motor got extremely loud. Will look for a more reliable mini-fridge this time.

Danby DAR125SLDD 4.4 cu.ft. All Refrigerator - Spotless Steel

• 4.4 cu. ft. (124.6 litre) capacity compact refrigerator
• Scratch resistant work-top is a great place to store
• 2 full shelves and 1 half shelf for maximum storage versatility; Crisper with glass top
• Automatic defrost, Mechanical thermostat
• Interior light

I bought this fridge short notice when a defrosting attempt rendered my last beer fridge inoperable, and I felt a little pressured to hit the Go button on it as my tasty 12oz's of Heaven slowly warmed. But I must say I'm not disappointed at all! It's a great size, looks fantastic, isn't as heavy as I thought it would be, is very quiet, and keeps more than 60 bottles of Sam Adams ice cold and within arms reach with room to spare! My original fridge was a Kenmore job, with a pathetic waste-of-space freezer section (which this does not have) that for some unknown reason Sears saw fit to make the freezer floor out of the cooling element. So of course it iced up like you read about, and I, like many a man before me, took the task of removing this ice seriously (it was encroaching on my beer space as it grew!)...and pulled out my trusty, and ridiculously pointy, pocket knife. So after a bath of freon, or what ever the hell they're using these days to cool, washed over me with a snake-like hiss, I proceeded to slam the door and muscle the fridge out to the driveway where it still sits. Luckily my beer supply was low (it pains me to admit this), so I only needed to commandeer a single shelf in the practically useless "food" fridge as the wife calls it. But knowing this arrangement wouldn't last, I needed a new fridge, and fast. So I bit the bullet after reading a few whiny reviews about ridiculously trivial issues (like not getting cool enough, or damaged in shipping; neither of which plague(d) my unit), even springing for the $4 overnight option (Thank you PRIME!), and couldn't be happier. My pregnant wife likes it so much she's decided to throw caution to the wind and resume drinking. Who could resist pulling a frosty beverage from this bad boy and tossing it back at the end of a hard day? Not this guy! And this fridge delivers with style. Only thing I can think of as a drawback is it doesn't keep the ice frozen, but then, giving up room in it for ice when it could be holding more beer is just ludicrous. This scenario actually makes me shudder to consider.

Summary? Kick-ass fridge for the money and if you have Prime, pay the $4 to overnight it just so you can tell your friends you overnighted a FRIDGE for FOUR FREAKING DOLLARS. Then slam back a cold one for emphasis.

We purchased this refrigerator for our outside entertainment bar because of its size and energy efficiency rating. So far we are very satisfied. It is a quiet and maintains internal temperature keeping everything nice and cold. There are plenty of shelving options as they are all adjustable. The door has 10 can holder slots for beer or soda and also has adjustable shelves for bottles of soda or wine. There is a drawer on the bottom perfect for storing garnishes, cheeses or meats. There is plenty of room in the rest of the fridge to fill as you please. The door really is spot resistent, we are not constantly cleaning it! This was a great purchase; we highly recommend this item.

I had my Danby less than 24 hours before the problems started. I had the thermostat set at slightly more than half (probably 6/10) for the first night it was in use. The next day, I discovered that all of my 6 (expensive!) bottled beers on the bottom shelf (above crisper drawer) had frozen, and 3 of them had burst causing beer to go everywhere! Checked the rest of the beverages in the fridge to see if they were also close to bursting, but found those in the middle & top shelves not even beginning to freeze.

After this fiasco, I set the thermostat to about a third of the way up (probably 3/10) so as not to have a repeat incident. After another 6 hours, the stuff on the bottom did not freeze, but was very cold (great!). However, the items on the top shelf were barely even cool to the touch (not great). I proceeded to do a little test with a refrigeration thermometer leaving the thermostat at about one-third. After 30 minutes, the bottom shelf read 37 degrees. I moved it to the top shelf and waited another 30 minutes, and found it showing 54 degrees! A 17 degree difference between top and bottom!!! Not to mention that 37 degrees is WAY too cold especially when the thermostat dial is set so low.

So it seems that I am experiencing the same inconsistent cooling that at least 2 other reviewers are having. Amazon was great about setting up a replacement delivery & pickup. I am willing to try a replacement before calling this fridge a total failure. The replacement is set to arrive tomorrow, so I'll post an update in a few days. Wish me luck!

UPDATE: Received a replacement, and it had the same EXACT issue!!! Started it off with the thermostat at the midway point (most manufacturers recommend this setting), and placed identical thermometers on the top and bottom shelves. After one hour, the top read 55 degrees, and the bottom was at 30!!!! I am willing to accept a few degrees difference, maybe even as much as 6 or 7 tops, but 15 degrees is ridiculous. I would have to accept the top being at nearly 60 just to keep the lower half above freezing. Am sending this one back also (UPS is gonna hate me tomorrow), and am getting the Haier 4.5cu ft one instead. Fingers crossed...

I bought this fridge to make my own mini-kegerator. There are plans on a few sites on the web for this model. After modding, I can fit two 5-gallon kegs, and a C02 tank tight in there. The fridge came as expected, and looks pretty nice. The temp control isn't anything fancy, but not sure what you'd expect on a less expensive mini-fridge.

If you do decide to mod it, you must take care not to hit a coolant line!

Also, I used the cheap overnight shipping option on this using my amazon prime. So worth it. I've read other people may have had problems with shipping damage using ground shipping, but that was not the case for me.

Rusco Spin Down Separator Sand / Sediment Water Filter 100 GPM - PWFSS20

This is a great product! I am using this to filter fine clay sediment from an artesian well (#100 mesh screen). It totally beats filters with replaceable cartridges( being an ongoing expense) and is easy to clean by backflushing.

I purchased the largest filter, 2" in and out, to replace a smaller filter of the same design which had been in use for 20 years. The only problem with the smaller filter being the need to flush it 1-2x weekly with high water use. The large filter doesn't require this; 2-3 times annually. (or whenever I think about it)

Because I am profoundly lazy, I rigged an electric solanoid water valve to the 1/2" flushing port. I can flush the filter by pushing a button in the utility room...

I Installed this on the well we water the garden and blueberries with, filters the sand and sediment out to prevent stopping the drippers up. Easy to flush out. If you have sand this is what you need.

Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that the refrigerator I bought had many flaws. One of them is the door racks in the refrigerator area. I have had to replace all of them except the top one, in about 4 years. Not realizing that Amazon might have them (silly me! Amazon has everything!!), I purchased the bottom and middle rack from someone else. The bottom rack never quite fit and I contacted the seller, who let me know that they don't offer a money back guarantee and that if I wished to have it replaced I needed to pay to return and then they would "evaluate." We found a way to make it fit, but, in about a year, it broke. Thus, began another search.

I had my item within a week, it looks like and fits like the original. If I ever need to replace any parts, I will first look on Amazon, and to this seller.

If you have also purchased a Frigidaire and faced this problem, trust that this is your solution.

The price is great for what it is. The ring works perfectly for the water filter. Will definitely order again. only wish it is include w/ the cartridge.

• The Replacement Filter fits all refrigerators that use the Samsung Aqua-Pure Plus DA29-00003B water filter.
• Retains the flouride in drinking water. Filters out chlorine, turbidity, sediment, dirt, and rust

We ordered this because of the price (compared to Samsung's direct prices). But, the water did not taste good with this filter, unlike with the Samsung filter, which had excellent taste. So, I went back to ordering the real deal.

I recently bought a Turbo Air grab and go cooler (about 10 months ago).

Yesterday, the compressor went out. I called the company, and after a bit of hemming and hawing, they agreed to send me a replacement compressor.... but here is the kicker:

1. I have to pay to have it installed $250-$350.

2. I wont get it for a week... which means I will lose substantial sales for the next week thousands of dollars

3. When I asked them to overnight the compressor to me, they said they would charge me $150 to overnight it.

keep in mind they sent me a LEMON. A compressor should last 6-7 years... and yet they are making me eat the cost of this.

No dont buy any products from Turbo Air. There are many other kitchen equipment manufacturers out there that wont treat you like this.

LG LFX31945ST

Bought one from the Sears Outlet for less than half the listed price. Yes it did have a few dings; but nothing that would be really noticed. Works great; no problems. Plenty of room and seems to keep the produce fresher longer; quiet and I haven't had any problem with the ice maker. Loads of room and pretty much fits in the same slot as the old Jen-Air that I had. The Led lighting is fantastic; open the doors and its like a near death experience; going into the light.

All in all a pretty cool fridge; really pleased.

I ordered this refridgerator from Amazon vs. Lowes or Home depot because the price was a few hundred dollars less. Well, the fine print states that they only deliver to curbside, as in not into your home! I can understand not installing it, but that left me with a 300lb fridge in my garage, on a palate, with no means of getting it into my home!

The customer service guy was very helpful in trying to find me someone to install it locally, which was very kind of him. (Hence the 3 stars) But I explained to him that they need to make it obvious that this product CANNOT BE BROUGHT INTO YOUR HOME!

So the few hundred dollars I saved was spent on getting someone to bring it in and hook-up.

Not worth the trouble...purchase from your local store....or as the customer service guy asked me, "do you have any friends you could ask..."
