This is a great machine, I have recommended it to everyone I know.
Here are some facts so you can see if it's right for you:
1) It cools the air. Enough so that if you point it at yourself you will get goosebumps. You can also use it as fan. It moves more air than a typical household fan.
2) It is only meant to cool 250 square feet which means it works wonders in our bedroom but in our living room it can cool down our sofa area but not the whole room.
3) It's louder than a fan but it's quieter than an idling truck.
4) Ridiculously easy to use, fill, and clean.
5) When you turn on the cooling element it will make a slight crinkling sound as water is sucked into the filter. That's normal. It also will decrease the fan speed if you have it on 3 (high) for a few minutes to get the cooling going and then will turn back to 3 (high) once it's cooled. Don't fiddle with it.
6) It has a timer that you can set in 30 minute intervals. The timer counts down in 30 minute intervals as well, which is a slight flaw in my opinion.
7) It doesn't oscillate. I'm not sure if any swamp coolers oscillate but it would have been so great if it did because it's too cold to have pointed directly at the bed continuously.
8) Lastly it works great in Colorado because of the arid environment (We're also somewhat high in elevation). It won't work as well in semi-arid or Mediterranean environments such as California (West of the Sierras).

How It WorksThe EC111B does not release any harmful chemicals like Freon into the atmosphere. Instead, it makes use of the innovative evaporative cooling technology to produce a refreshing breeze that cools down a room up to 250 square feet. While it reduces the carbon footprint, it also is energy efficient by using about the same electricity as an ordinary 100 watt light bulb uses. |
Highly CustomizableA variety of controls enable you to set the cooler to deliver the right cooling conditions. There are 3 fans speeds for selection, and 2 modes of operation. The cooler can also be used to humidify your room and get rid of airborne dust particles. A display panel notifies of the current cooling settings, and available options in an easy to understand way. |
Convenient CoolingThis unit holds up to 1.76 gallons of water and can even operate with no water at all, of course this means that it won't really be cooling any more than a fan. There's an ice tank for extra cooling and a water level indicator for easy maintenance, plus, there is no water required when used in 'Fan Only' mode. |
Where to use an Evaporative Cooler?Typically, evaporative coolers work best in areas in areas that are very dry, as well as hot. A perfect example is the Southwestern US, including parts of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. In these desert climates, not only are the summer months hot, but they are also quite dry. Evaporative coolers can be just as effective as air conditioners in these areas- but at a fraction of the cost. |
Proposed Area Map
Evaporative coolers, also known as swamp coolers, are cheaper and more cost-effective than air conditioners. They create a lot of cold air using much less energy, so it’s no wonder they’re an appealing choice for anyone who wants to save money while keeping cool. What’s not cool is when your evaporative cooler doesn’t actually make you cooler, when it’s not working or not working well. So, to help avert any 'heated crises,' we’ve put together an area map to help you get more out of your evaporative cooler.

Stylish.. Brezzy.. Fresh..
The Luma Comfort™ EC110S evaporative cooler is modern and stylish, puts out a powerful breeze and will keep you and your family nice and fresh.Allowed me to start off by saying that after reading tons of reviews here on Amazon on various evaporative coolers, I was quite discouraged to buy ANY "evap-cooler" at all. However, I didn't allow the negative remarks and what seemed to me like dozens of unrealistic expectations to steer me away from purchasing a unit, so I pursued this model because of it's classy design, great features set and it's affordability. Well after a short period of time and a few test--trying this unit out, playing with different variations in settings (both on the device itself and in air-flow setup within my room), and in combining the cooler with either a floor fan or ceiling fan--I'm glad I purchased this model and chose this manufacturer.Please note in the opening sentence I stated it would "keep you and your family NICE and FRESH" and didn't say CHILLED and FREEZING. To simply put it, those of you expecting air conditioning results from this unit should look elsewhere, or at an actual air conditioner. This device was not designed to deliver extremely cold air as that of an air-conditioning system. It is designed though to blast out humidified air that is several degrees cooler then that of the air currently in the room.For what this unit was intended for, I think it works SUPERBLY. I love feeling the cooler air across my body and fill my medium size room. The area does get noticeably cooler, but of course not AC cold.*** PRO. TIP *** Ensure that you open a window to allow the now moistened air to escape when necessary, less you suffer from an extreme humidity increase in your room. This is never comfortable and will cause an adversus effect, rather than the positive effect intended.Device comes with two ice packs that you freeze and add to the water to increase the chilling effect.This is an added plus and was welcomed with open arms. The units operation is straightforward and fool-proof. It comes with a great feature set and even beeping notifications for low water levels.My only complaint about the units, and the reason why I'm not giving it five stars, is the fact that unit runs out of water quite quickly. I wish that the manufacturer would have built-in a larger water reservoir to hold more fluid. Other than that I am well pleased and would recommend this device to any of my friends or family memebers. CHECK IT OUT!
