Product Description
Unlike a fan that blows hot air, the HAC-100S air cooler cools personal air space significantly more than a regular fan, using about the same amount of power as a light bulb. An air cooler is a cost effective alternative to more expensive portable air conditioners. Great for the home or office because they do not use utilize freon and CFC refrigerants. This Whynter air cooler also incorporates a sophisticated humidifier system that provides a controlled cool mist of healthy, natural humidification. The internal air purifying system activates the carbon filter to capture particulates and then use water to filter dust, pollen and pollutants, trap them in the honeycomb filter and then wash them away.

By Daniel
I bought this based on the other 2 user reviews, and now I'm convinced these were created by the manufacturer.There's nothing positive I can say about this product, but as for the negatives...- It has barely any effect on the room temperature when set to air-cooling mode.- It's extremely loud and obnoxious. Seriously, it sounds just like an idling lawn mower.- Emits a nasty, exhaust-like smell.Save yourself the time and money, you really don't want this product at any price.EDIT (6/10/11): My suspicions about the other 2 reviewers (Ken Manning, Dave Martin) at the time of my purchase can be confirmed by their reviewing and tagging history. Look for yourself- Both have only reviewed this product (with a raving positive review of course), and have tagged every Whynter product with an assortment of positive/descriptive adjectives. Ken Manning even went so far as to tag several competing products as "defective" and "not cold". Well, I know what brand NOT to trust now.

By Lawrencemac
After reading the other reviews, my story is hardly unique here. The product worked (marginally, I might add) for about 3 weeks before beginning one night to emit a deafening, grinding noise. I disassembled the whole thing to see if I could figure out the problem. Didn't help. I emailed Whynter customer service and after several back and forth exchanges with basically useless ideas to fix it, I got a return authorization to send it back. I heard absolutely NOTHING from them for over six weeks until I basically hounded them about the whereabouts of my unit. After TWO MONTHS of waiting, it finally arrived again. I plugged it in and was greeted by...THE SAME HORRIBLE NOISE! After over two months, they fixed absolutely nothing. It sucks. They suck. Do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE!
