I live in a tiny little apartment, maybe 800 sq ft or so. I am in desperate need of something to cool down the air. It's in the 90's all the time and if it were just me and the b/f I wouldn't care, but we have 3 kids and 1 of them is a baby so cool air is a necessity.
I can't decide on whether to go with an Air Cooler or an Air Conditioner (either one would be the floor portable version for we have slider windows that aren't capable of holding window AC units). Obviously the AC wuld be better for it would be soo much cooler and all, but do the air cooler's work just as well? Are they good for making the room feel nice? I don't want to go the cheap route and buy the air cooler and it not work, but then again I don't want to spend more than need be and get the ac and the air cooler would have worked fine.
PLEASE HELP!!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO???
A:
It depends where you live.
If by air cooler, you mean an evaporative cooler, they work by passing dry hot air (desert southwest) over water using the heat to evaporate the water and cool the air. They work well in dry heat. But if you live in Alabama where the temp is 98 and the humidity is 17,000 you can forget an evaporative cooler. Then you need AC.
