@@shoestringmotoring no it doesn’t, as it’s got the wire inside connected going up to the top of the air con so ya can’t just pull out from behind as only comes out a little
@@stephatkinson4064 you pull it out as far as it will go, then unscrew the two screws holding the water pickup, and it will release. To put it back is the reverse.
The two screws hold clips that swing out of the way. You might move them withought unscrewing. Mine were tight. The pick-up is then released and the tray comes out..
Air coolers are the ultimate waste of money, I've bought an a.c at 150 and my huge room is always cold, these are the biggest con in the world, if 150 for a decent little a.c is a lot, you gotta splash out bro what's the point in life otherwise
Alot of what you have on yours I honestly thought were things not working properly on mine. For example the front grill not going up and down.. It goes down automatically and stays down until you manually pull it up and also the fan going on and off is a pain in the a**e so can only use one fan option so it stays on. Same as you, I don't think it cooled the air and it was only a small bedroom! Waste of money in my opinion.
Yes, I agree. When I bought it, I thought it might be similar to a a/c unit, but as you know, sadly not. Just a fan really. I gave mine away a while ago.
Great review man, thank you 👍
My pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Air coolers are no good , just go and buy a portable air con unit
Was it noisy or ok to have it in the room during night time?
No more noisy than a regular fan really.
Have you found it leaks water from the bottom
No I haven’t
what is the model number?
Afraid I don’t know. I gave it to my son last year
I’ve had these air coolers before purchasing a homcon air con, no matter how much you clean the filter they always end up stinking. Waste of money
Pretty much what I think too. In the long run air con is the way to go.
Do you know how to remove the water tank out to clean?
It just pulls out from behind.

@@shoestringmotoring I wasn’t sure if you could remove them screws as there will still be water in there when I remove the 2 screws

Can anyone recommend an AC unit that's not too expensive?
Maybe look on Facebook market for a local bargain
For another hundred dollars he could have gotten the air conditioner version of this exact machine.
Homcom air conditioners are between 200-260$
@@astralfluxaf AC kill off the electric bill maybe these air cooling things dont take so much energy

Buy an air conditioner not a cooler if you want better results.
Air con removes the humidity in the room which is bad as you can develop sinusitis and things as such due to too much dry air ..
