Customer Review

The air coolers of Klarstein is basically a large fan that produces additionally enclosed water (or, at best, ice) a pleasant cooling airflow.

Plastic as far eye and nose rich. Not that plastic is bad, but this does not affect quality and also not stable. The first 3 days had the device once evaporate, it was relegated to the garage, only then I took it into operation, the smell was so bad after unpacking.
The slats on the front or particular access to the dust filter at the back are good examples of the processing of plastics. Thus, the grating deflects by itself and after only two applications snap the plastic clips for sealing no longer correctly. The matt surface attracts in the region of the operating fingerprints magically and move even when the button bar the neighbors when a key is pressed.

The device itself is quite easy thanks to the material (~ 7kg) and can be moved with the rollers mounted without problems in the room. When the water container is not filled, it can also be easy to carry to the desired location.

Features, the refrigerator a few. It can be normal use as a fan, but it is combined with the evaporation of water also known as "air conditioner". For this, the drawer is filled with water at the bottom and possibly even with ice or ice packs (two are included) support. Thanks to the 8-liter tank, the device can then ~ active for eight hours cool. About "Dim" allows the red lights on the device turn off, "anion" allows the ionization of the air and by "Vane" pivot the internal slats from right to left. The slats on the front can be adjusted by hand, using only the upper portion of a noticeable effect promises, because there are at ~ 12 cm, the output slots. The lower part is almost a stop. By "speed" can choose between three levels, "Mode" offers with "normal" a constant air flow, with "of course" a rising and falling air jet and with "sleeping" a variant for the night - really quiet the constant change between stages but not. Especially since the water ripples all the time audible back into the tank. That leaves the timer which provides an automatic shut off in 60 minute increments. This is even implemented well: According to the manual, the device should after using the Cool-function of evaporation, even - that the fan 5 minutes run "dry", carrying the moisture in the device externally before - analogous to the air conditioning in the car it is completely turned off. So runs the machine x hours with cooling function and afterwards 5 minutes to only ventilation in order to get as much moisture out of the device. Pity is the fact that the timer only the selected time, but not indicating the remaining term. Given a choice of z. B. 4 hours there is always 4, regardless of whether the device has just been started or is already running 2 hours.
About the included remote control, the device can also be controlled conveniently from a distance, this works, but also does not make the best impression during processing.

Conclusion: The presentation and processing are weak, everywhere there is soft (stinking) plastic. However, the device works reliably. It serves as a fan, but can also be felt cool through evaporation. Of course, not like a real air conditioning, but in simple terms, it is possible spaces "favorable" cool down if you take compromising processing in purchasing.
