Introduction
Cooling during the Australian summer is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. The market for portable coolers and personal air-conditioning devices has exploded, and one name that keeps popping up is Epicooler. In this review I’ll examine Epicooler from the perspective of Australian buyers: what it does, how it performs, whether it’s worth the money, and how it compares to other options available locally. I’ll cover real-world usage, build and design, performance metrics, energy use, noise, portability, maintenance, warranty/support, buying tips and a final verdict.
What is the Epicooler?
Epicooler is a portable cooling device marketed to people who want personal or small-space cooling without the installation or price tag of a traditional split system. It’s often described as a hybrid between an evaporative cooler and a small air-conditioning unit: it uses water evaporation and circulating fans to lower the temperature of a focused area.
The appeal is clear: plug-and-play cooling, smaller energy draw than conventional air conditioners, and a compact footprint you can move between rooms, caravans, patios, and even to the office.
Note: Product names and models can vary. If you’re looking at a specific Epicooler model, check the product label and the seller’s listing for exact specifications.
Key features (what to expect)
Although features vary by model, Epicooler units commonly offer the following:
• Portability: Integrated handles and modest weight make transfer between rooms easy.
• Multiple fan speeds: Usually at least 3 fan settings plus an oscillation option for wider airflow.
• Water tank for evaporative cooling: This tank supplies moisture to cooling pads; expect an indicator for water level and an auto-shutoff for dry-run protection.
• USB or mains power: Some models offer both, helping use in cars, caravans, or where USB power is available.
• Low power consumption: Significantly less than traditional AC, often marketed as energy-efficient for short-term spot cooling.
• Removable filters/pads: For easier cleaning and replacement.
• LED display / minimal controls: For a simple user experience.
Build quality & design
Epicooler units typically have a modern, compact aesthetic — a matte plastic shell, a front-faced air grille, and a rear access panel for the water reservoir and pads. In Australia, where many buyers value durability for outdoor and occasional caravan use, it’s worth checking:
• Material thickness and fit: Cheaper units sometimes flex under handling. A solid plastic chassis with tight seams is a sign of better quality.
• Tank finish and seals: Look for a tank that locks, with a secure cap and gasket. An ill-fitting cap will leak during transport.
• Pad mounting and access: Easy access for pad replacement makes maintenance less of a chore.
A positive of Epicooler’s design is their compactness — units won’t dominate a small bedroom or desk. The flip side is smaller tanks requiring more frequent refills during heavy use.
Performance — cooling & airflow
The definitive question: does Epicooler actually cool? Short answer: yes — but with caveats.
Epicooler (like other evaporative coolers) is best at lowering the perceived temperature in a small, well-ventilated area. It doesn’t lower the temperature of a whole house the way a split system will. Expect:
• Best use case: Personal cooling (sitting at a desk), small bedrooms, caravans, balconies, and short-term outdoor use where a direct breeze makes a difference.
• Cooling method: Evaporative cooling works by passing air through wet pads; evaporation removes heat from the air stream and gives you a cooler, humidified breeze.
• Limits in high humidity: Australian climates vary — in dry inland areas (e.g., central NSW or inland WA), evaporative cooling performs well. In very humid coastal zones (e.g., northern Queensland in summer), the effectiveness is reduced because the air already contains a lot of moisture.
Real-world numbers (typical expectations)
• Ambient drop: You may see perceptible cooling of 3–7°C in a small room or within a few metres of the unit. The exact effect depends on ambient humidity, air movement, and tank temperature.
• Coverage area: Most personal units provide comfortable cooling in a radius of 1–3 metres. Larger portable evaporative systems cover bigger rooms.
• Noise: When running on low to medium speed, noise is comparable to a desktop fan. On high, expect more audible motor and fan noise — still usually below the level of a window AC unit.
Energy use & running cost
One of the strongest selling points for units like Epicooler is energy efficiency. Typical portable evaporative coolers draw far less power than split or window air conditioners. For Australians conscious of rising electricity bills, that can make spot cooling with Epicooler attractive for evening use and short sessions.
• Power draw: Usually a fraction of a kW (commonly 50–200 W depending on model and fan speed). Compare this to small room ACs which use closer to 1–1.5 kW while cooling.
• Cost example: If an Epicooler draws 100 W and runs 5 hours, energy used is 0.5 kWh. At typical Australian residential electricity prices (which vary by state and retailer), that’s a small fraction of the cost of running a conventional air conditioner for the same time.
