No compressor, no condenser, no refrigerant gas. Could that ancient principle cut it in today's 'average' room? Consumer Reports tested two samples of the Cool Surge in the same lab we use to test air conditioners. At just over 200 square feet, our test room is actually a tad smaller than the roughly 227-square-foot living room in a typical new home, and, therefore, should be easier to cool.

The Cool Surge debuted in 2008 and was originally promoted by Universal TechTronics. The same company is a division of Heat Surge, which markets the —also known as the Amish heater—and pushed a that ultimately cost nearly $100 when you added in the mandatory warranty and shipping and handling fees. We ordered the two Cool Surge units that we evaluated online and paid $298 for each, with no shipping charge. But when we later called the Web site's order line anonymously, we were told we'd have to pay $49 per unit for shipping, or nearly $100 if we had opted for the company's two-for-one offer. Another call using a different number listed in a Cool Surge newspaper ad yielded yet another price of $148 per unit—plus $49 shipping—for versions with 'slight cosmetic damages.' The two-for-one offer had apparently ended. The Better Business Bureau warned consumers about Universal TechTronics' 'misleading advertising campaign' for the DTV converter and gave the company an unsatisfactory rating based on its pattern of complaints.

Yes, something of that size can really cool down a small house. Aspen wood pads work better than the paper ones and smell nice, too. Most “real” desert people know how to change their own pads, adjust float levels, etc. It’s like a classic car in terms of basic maintenance. Nothing wrong with swamp coolers, per se, as they are cheaper to run than conventional AC. But this one is overpriced (similar portable units on eBay for around $80)..

Once you’ve frozen the two “glacier packs” (no different from the keep-your-lunchbox-cool gel packs) and filled the unit with about a gallon of water, the Cool Surge claims to blast out “ice-chilled” air for hours, using only the power of a 60W light bulb. Consumer Reports took the Cool Surge to task and found that during a four-hour test the device “failed to appreciably cool” a 227-square-foot room that began at 85° F and 57% humidity, common conditions for an average summer day. At “desertlike” 25% humidity, after four hours, the Cool Surge dropped the room by only two degrees. Based on these results, Consumer Reports has given the Cool Surge the “Don’t Buy: Performance Problem” rating.

I got the ad letter mailed to me, was puzzled by the vague claims and did the web research to find out that this is basically a swap cooler.. A portable one and rather pricey at that. Down here in the desert southwest, swamp coolers are fairly common as they work well in a dry climate.. But only in the early summer months before the monsoon rains arrive. For $300, you can get a real swamp cooler.. 2″ X 2″ X 2″ metal cube that sits outside, fits into the duct work and belts out cold air.

The Cool Surge is essentially an (also known as a swamp cooler) that bases its cooling claims on a concept thousands of years old. The unit's reservoir holds about a gallon of water and two reusable ice packs like the kind that go into lunch boxes and picnic baskets. The chilled water wets a curtain inside, and a fan moves air through it much the way a breeze would blow air through moistened fabric centuries ago.

First off everyone should know the mechanics behind these appliances. They use a fan to force the air intake pass a thin filter that is continuously begin soaked by the cool water. It is the same concept as a swamp cooler which ive seen some swamp coolers blowing out pretty cold air. They should classify it as a swamp cooler and not a air conditioner. With this being said it still dont change the fact that there not all that they claim to be. I own one fortunately i didnt pay for mine but if you could pick one up for a $100 or less new i would say then it would be money well spent considering it is a heater and humidifier also that work better then average.

You can buy a decent small window air conditioner for as little as $140, as we found in our (available to ). Or you can spend more than twice that amount—$298—for the (shown), which promises to cool an average-sized room 'up to ten degrees' using the same energy as a 60-watt lightbulb. (Watch our exclusive video, below.) The Cool Surge might sound appealing when you consider the roughly 500 watts needed to run even a small.

We controlled conditions around the room to simulate an 85°F dry summer day with a relative humidity of just 57 percent. As we found, the phrase 'up to' in Cool Surge's cooling claims does some heavy lifting: Our string of sensors showed the device failed to appreciably lower the room's overall temperature during a four-hour test. We also tested the Cool Surge at an even drier, desertlike setting of 25 percent relative humidity, again, at 85°F. Even in these conditions, which are suitable for an evaporative cooler, we measured a mere 2 degrees of cooling during the four-hour test.

At “desertlike” 25% humidity, after four hours, the Cool Surge dropped the room by only two degrees. Based on these results, Consumer Reports has given the Cool Surge the “Don’t Buy: Performance Problem” rating. [Corporate Site] [Consumer Reports].

While the BBB says it has no complaints against Fridge Electric LLC, that company shares the same Canton, Ohio, address as Heat Surge. A label on the Cool Surge units we evaluated referred to both Universal TechTronics and Heat Surge (shown). And when we checked the box, it listed all three names: Universal TechTronics, Heat Surge—and Fridge Electric. We found no problems with the Amish heater in our evaluations earlier this year. But our research found that the Ohio Attorney General's Office had 55 complaints against Heat Surge that included the product and its marketer.
