Pifco P40014 Portable 3-In-1 Air Cooler, Fan and Humidifier with 7 Hour Timer, Oscillation Function, 3 Mode Settings Normal, Natural and Sleep, 3 Wind Speed Settings, Remote Control Included, White

Good compact size and very manoeuvrable. Cools very quickly very easy to use. A well designed and thought out product, even the packaging was easy to recycle. Well done Pifco. The only drawback is the fan noise, it could be quieter.

It does what it says on the tin! I bought this as I needed something to reduce the room temperature in a child's room in hot weather. I didn't want a pipe out a large open window at night with young children who like climbing to look out window. It does lower the room temperature by 4-5 degrees with a blind lowered to cut out afternoon sun. I've found it's more effective if you have the room door open or a small window open a crack and the room temperature will not rocket. Usually in hot weather our childs room temperature is 30+deg but this year it's been 25-26 degrees. I can't say how effective it would be in larger rooms but it's pretty good in a small bedroom. It's certainly not as good at reducing room temperature as an air conditioning unit but it is better than a normal fan. I put in ice packs as well as ice into water. It lasts 12+ hours on medium speed setting which is enough until I get home from work. It's not quiet by any means but it's not annoying either. The only flaw for me are how bright the lights are on the display...there is no option to dim or turn off lights. It's worth the money if your limited on space as it's fairly compact and if you're not keen on windows open at night.

Asset during heatwave. Made a big difference to the comfort of elderly family member and our dogs during the hot days. Easy to use with a range of Fan Speed and Fan functions. Small and 4 wheels make it easy and stable to use. Quieter and much cheaper to run than air con, and you can have all to windows and doors open. Recommended.

Quality product with excellent customer support. However, very poor instructions. They need addressing. Had to ring support as there was no information on the parts - so for example some sponge things, what I thought were filters were actually random packaging in the tank. There was no info on the thing on the back that soaks the water up so I didn't know if you had to leave it to soak water up first nor did I know what maintenance and cleaning here were involved. Also, had it on ALL night and the air wasn't cool at all even using cold water and the ice packs it comes with. Just researched that these coolers don't succeed in cooling when room is humid as the hot wet air of room simply heats the cold are leaving machine instantly. So basically, I'd bought an expensive to run tower fan. As a fan alone its not worth the money and I'm therefore returning it. For a dry hot room apparently these things can be really good. But in UK it's humidity we battle on hot nights. Quality product though w/remote etc. Just a shame it didn't even seem to give out cool air even with hand right up to it. £15 fan did a better job, certainly more powerful air moving.

Bought this for my baby to sleep. It is a great portable air cooler. It is just noisy as a fan. Just like fan you have to put it on top of a table to get the cool air on to your face while sleeping because my bed is too tall. Cooling is excellent just with water, for extra chill you can use the ice pack given. Really helpful to for a peaceful sleep and from over heating. Remote is good. You can control the hourly setting There are 3 levels for the fan There are 3 modes for fan (night, day ,etc) Overall very satisfied with this product

This 3 in 1 portable air cooler from pifco...is a VERY poor pruduct and not worth anything like over £100,the motor is really noisy and to feel the 'chill' you need to sit no more than 2 foot (24 inches) away from it and that's with the ice packs in the water container as the instruction's showed.my floor standing oscillating fan which cost less than £25 does a much better job,it's even quiet and cool enough on the 1st setting to sleep with it at night when it's hot and sticky.as you can imagine? with a company that is very well established as pifco.....that the product would do what is say's on the box,considering it cost over £100!!! belive me...it's not worth it.

This air cooler was recommended to me by a friend who bought it from Amazon last year. I needed it to use in my conservatory which gets very hot in the summer. I've found this coolerVERY effective. It really does cool the area much, much better tgan a fan. It oscillates well and is easy to use. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I only write reviews for really bad products, good products or products I think deserve a mention. I was looking for an item that would be good to keep my 85 year old parents cool in the warm weather we're having. They have a traditional fan but these either blast your head off or at best waft and distribute the warm air already in the room. The blast always hurt my eyes over time. So I thought I'd look for a better alternative. An air conditioner was out of the question for 2 reasons 1. The fitting and 2. Running costs. So the option I chose was an air cooler. This one caught my eye because it looked stylish and was a well known name. Had it about 3 weeks and the weather outside has been in the 20's c / 80f. I'm quite impressed with this air cooler. It's not an air conditioning unit so don't expect a cold room with what you get from an air conditioner. First of all what you get is the air cooler unit a remote control 2 cooler blocks you can freeze in your freezer instruction manual and box. The idea of a air cooler is to cool the air in the room with cool water don't worry it doesn't blow water out but the cool water pumps around inside and it's this cool water that helps the air being blown to be chilled unlike a traditional fan that only blows the warm air through its blades into the room. Air coolers also have a filter in the back that filters out any dust or bits so what comes out of the front is clean air free of dust or dirt particals in the air/room. There is a box in the back of the unit that can be removed to enable you to take it to the sink to be filled with cold water ice and the cooler blocks supplied. Alternatively just use water but the colder you make the water the cooler the effect will be. The unit hold 5 litres. When inserting the water container back into the back of the unit ensure the suction unit is up out of the way otherwise you will find the water container won't slide in. If its in the way slide the water container in until it stops pull out slightly poke your finger in and push the suction unit up whilst pushing the water container in. When the container is fully in you will hear a click. When it's operating the water is pumped around the unit and you will hear a slight waterfall sound, this is normal. The fan in my opinion actually makes less noise than a traditional fan. If the water runs out the unit automatically carries on working with fan only and stops sucking/pumping. It also has programmable timer the option to turn on/off the water system option to turn on/off oscillator which distributes air flow left and right. It also has programmable night mode that automatically fluctuates air flow /distribution for a more relaxed feel. The unit is on wheels which is very helpful. The power cord could be longer but that's my opinion and of course you could use an extension lead. It's ideal for keeping cool when your upto 15 feet away. If you have a bigger room move the unit closer to you or use 2 units. I bought this for my parents but love it so much bought myself one.
