(More customer reviews)After searching high and low for a replacement for an old finally kaput Sears Kenmore "roto-belt" humidifier (which I've found was a favorite of everyone who had them), I thought hey! What about the swamp coolers we used to cobble together 50 years ago in hot old South Texas? Wouldn't that make a great humidifier which did't require so many crappy, expensive replacement filters/wicks.
I've used this two days so far and am impressed by the quiet white noise and the humidity output (should be run at high speed). I'm planning to drill larger holes in the top ice tray to make an easier fill-up location. Will report more later; so far I'm quite pleased.
(Why the rotary belt humidifier was abandoned, I don't quite understand. Maybe there was a mold problem or maybe they simply wanted the money to be made from selling replacement innards. I used to get years out of one belt on the Sears and it put out consistent humidity, plus the mold, if any was quite tolerable and could be easily killed with a touch of bleach or whatever). I suspect the lawyers or the bean counters may have killed another great product.

Product DescriptionThis Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan with Ionizer is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. - plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. The remote control allows you to easily change settings.The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy. The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.
