The Wicolo unit is a windowless cooling option designed for renters or those in arid climates where a permanent installation isn't feasible. It utilizes a 2-gallon polypropylene reservoir and a cellulose honeycomb filter to facilitate evaporation. Specifications indicate an energy-efficient brushless DC motor that helps maintain a lower sound profile of approximately 46dB during operation, making it suitable for shared living spaces.
Practical safety features include a 12-hour incremental timer and a capacitive touch interface. Because this unit adds moisture to the air to achieve a cooling effect, it is most effective in environments with relative humidity below 55%. In more humid regions, the device functions effectively as a large-scale humidifier. Build quality is supported by a high-impact ABS polymer housing, which is lightweight enough for easy transport between rooms.
To ensure consistent performance, users should plan for bi-weekly tank cleaning to prevent the buildup of bacterial biofilm in the water reservoir.
The 2-gallon tank capacity is designed to provide approximately 8 to 12 hours of use in typical dry conditions. A 16-foot remote control allows for adjustments from across a room, provided the line-of-sight to the sensor remains unobstructed. This unit is an option for those seeking a portable solution that does not require an exhaust hose or window kit.
Individuals looking for a much larger output for semi-outdoor spaces might consider the Hessaire 1300 CFM model for increased airflow.
