Or you’ve been concerned about the cost of adding an air conditioning unit or other cooling technology to your home or office. But if you’ve been using a fan and find that you’re simply not comfortable enough anymore, then consider an evaporative air cooler, another type of personal air coolers.

Evaporative air coolers work in environments that have hot, dry air so that evaporation can occur. The air pulls water from the pads inside the cooler and the temperature of the air drops. Then the cooler blows the air into the room. The more humid air is also cleaner since it has been passed through the damp pads. It also circulates fresh air into the room regularly instead of recirculating the same air over and over like air conditioners do.

Evaporative coolers come in a variety of models and powers and can be either permanently stationed in a room or portable so that you can take it with you as a true personal air cooler. Most models let you adjust the louvers on the air outlet so that you can direct the flow of air directly where you want it. And some even have remote controls so that you can operate them in comfort from wherever you are in the room.

One of the oldest technologies for personal air coolers, evaporative coolers are simply using the technology for staying cool that is found in nature. Because no refrigeration of the air is required, there aren’t any artificial chemicals floating around and no harmful chemicals are produced as a side product of the cooling. And if cost has been a concern for you with other personal air coolers, don’t worry. Evaporative coolers are extremely efficient and cost a great deal less than air conditioners to cool the same area. In fact, some energy companies give rebates to customers who invest in whole-house evaporative coolers because they recognize how efficient they are. But if you simply want to choose personal air coolers, then look for a portable evaporative cooler for your home that you can move from room to room with you or even take with you to other locations.
