Best Features
The Luma Comfort EC110S is a very efficient evaporative cooler that can cool down a smaller space under 200 square feet with ease. It may not offer the same cooling that an actual air conditioner does, but it makes the most of what it’s capable of. Some modernized features help to push it up a few levels into a different category of evaporative coolers.
Energy Efficiency
It’s no secret that evaporative coolers use a fraction of the energy that actual air conditioners consumer, and the The Luma Comfort EC110S is no different. The unit draws only 110 watts, yet cools most rooms anywhere from 10-13 degrees Fahrenheit with relative ease.
You could continually run the The Luma Comfort EC110S all day anot not equal what a portable air conditioner draws in one hour. Of course, the tradeoff here is limited cooling ability, but if you live in a mild climate, this will work just fine.
Size
The The Luma Comfort EC110S weighs only 16lbs, and stands just over 34 inches tall. The unit is easy to move around, and not an obnoxious size that will dominate your room like some other evaporative coolers tend to do.
Removable Water Bucket
Evaporative coolers need to be refilled rather often, and that’s pretty annoying if you have to roll the unit to a water hose or to the kitchen. Fortunately, Luma Comfort helps you avoid that hassle by utilizing a removable water tank.
Added Features
The The Luma Comfort EC110S gives you a few different ways to control the airflow. You have three speeds to choose from, along with three different wind modes. An 8 hour timer comes in handy for when you want to leave the unit running for a certain amount of time.
Oh, and we can’t forget to mention the remote control as well, which lets you control every aspect from across the room.
Limitations
The Luma Comfort EC110S is an evaporative cooler after all, so that means it’s lacking in a few areas.
Run Time
The Luma Comfort EC110S has an average run time of around 5 hours with a full bucket, so if you want to keep it going all day, be prepared to refill the bucket quite a few times.
Aesthetics
They tried, but the Luma Comfort EC110S isn’t the most attractive appliance in the world. It’s a little awkward looking.
