Reddit reviews Sunpentown Air Cooler w/ionizer SF-609

I've never seen another person who lives in the Lancaster/Palmdale area on Reddit before. Anyway, I bought an evaporative cooler from Amazon a couple months ago for $100. It works perfectly for out here (Lancaster). I roll it to my bathtub and open the side and let water go in for 20 seconds. It makes my room easily 20 degrees cooler. I can also add ice into it as well to make it even cooler.

Here's the link to it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R48G5K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey, advanced welcome to California :) Since I'm from Cali, I can tell you this right now: It can get REAAAAALLLLYYYY HOOOOTTTT!!! The other night before my job interview, I actually couldn't sleep because I felt like I was in a sauna and I was melting all night long! (Fortunately, I got hired lol)

Anyway, I'm actually thinking of getting something like this -> a portable air conditioner :D

It's pretty affordable I think if you consider how much misery it would save you from :D Really, the only thing I hate about California is the HEAT... you know there's a terrible heat wave when the ambulances are visiting my neighborhood almost everyday due to senior citizens who couldn't take the heat anymore.

Yep, so please, really take the heat issue of California seriously. You don't want to be experiencing it and have no way of saving yourself.

If the place you're going to live in has proper air conditioning, then good! But if not, then definitely get this one.

I also suggest ANYTHING at all that would help you fight heat in case you don't have an air conditioner. Even an electric fan is useless when the air it spews out is hot. That's how I suffered the other night X_X

So there we go, welcome to California and I hope you'll have fun here :D There are lots of beautiful places in California! Be sure to check out Disney Land in Anaheim, Universal Studios somewhere (I forgot), and Knott's Berry Farm (in Buena Park - this is a city, not a park lol!!!) :D

Ok one last reminder: Please take the heat issue seriously, that's all I can really warn you about California lol :)

Ooops I almost forgot, if you ever think that my advice is useful to you, well I don't really have anything under $5 on my wish list, but I do have a friend whom I want to cheer up (and my friend has $5 and less items), if possible, I'd like to give my win to my friend :) Thank you very much and enjoy California (just not the heat) :D

Buy something similar to this

We used these for each of our springbar/Kodiak tents: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000R48G5K?cache=b36992ba57de02dd5dabf0957f6823b1&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1410491672&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

Only downside is that they draw about 50 watts (110v) on high, but they make the tent heavenly.

This seems pretty cost effective, I'm going to guess right now and say the room is maybe 8' x 5' x 8' (it has a narrower door on it). So fairly small, almost a closet.

Would one of these really make that much of a difference?

Also this one seems to have the best reviews what do you think?
