Best evaporative coolers and air coolers in Australia 2026

The best evaporative cooler in Australia for a lounge room is the Maxkon 3-in-1 36L, which holds enough water for about twenty hours of cooling per fill; the Evapolar evaCHILL is the personal unit, and the De'Longhi EV250WH is the pick with a mainstream brand and a two year warranty. If you only need air moving at one desk, our corded and rechargeable desk fans compared are the simpler option.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry heat and lose effect as the air gets more humid, so they suit Perth, Adelaide and inland areas far better than Brisbane or Sydney. Before you spend a dollar, check where you live. An evaporative cooler pulls hot dry air through a wet pad, and the water evaporating out of that pad is what takes the heat away. In Perth, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Mildura, Dubbo or anywhere with a dry inland summer, that works beautifully and costs a fraction of what refrigerated cooling costs to run. In a humid Sydney or Brisbane February, when the air already carries most of the moisture it can hold, the same machine has almost nothing to evaporate into. You get a fan that also makes the room clammy. If you live on the humid coast, read the low ratings on any listing with that in mind before you buy.

So the honest first question is whether your worst heat is dry or sticky. If it is sticky, close this page and read our portable air conditioner guide instead, because a refrigerated unit removes moisture rather than adding it. If it is dry, keep reading. We looked at every portable evaporative cooler listed on Amazon Australia, threw out the flood of USB mist fans sold as air conditioners, and ended up with nine units that genuinely cool by evaporation, compared on what decides whether you stay cool: tank litres, run time per fill, claimed coverage, noise, ice pack compartments and power draw.

What is the best evaporative cooler in Australia right now?

For a lounge room in dry inland heat, the Maxkon 3-in-1 36 L is our top pick: the 36 litre tank and 1.8 litres per hour consumption mean roughly twenty hours of running before you touch it again, and its power draw is 120 watts. The Evapolar evaCHILL is the buy for personal cooling at a desk or bedside rather than a whole room, and with 3.8 stars from 5,108 ratings on Amazon Australia it is by far the most reviewed unit here. The De'Longhi EV250WH is one of two coolers here from a mainstream appliance brand.

Set expectations. In dry air you get cooling at the outlet plus a strong breeze, which in hot weather is the difference between unbearable and livable. Ratings across these listings vary: five of the nine coolers sit between 3.3 and 3.8 stars on Amazon Australia.

How the evaporative coolers compare at a glance

Tank litres tell you how often you refill and power draw tells you what it costs to run. The noise figure is the manufacturer's own decibel claim, so use it as a guide when comparing listings. The table covers nine portable evaporative coolers, with stock checked on Amazon Australia.

Read tank and power together. The two Maxkons have the largest tanks here. The other room coolers hold 4 to 12 litres and need refilling, which is fine beside a couch and annoying in a bedroom at 2am.

How we chose these evaporative coolers

NestPath is an aggregator, not a laboratory. We do not run these machines in a climate chamber and will never tell you we did. At the 7 October 2026 check, we collected Amazon Australia listing data, cross checked search results against each product's own detail page, then read the specification tables and the Australian reviews line by line.

The category screen removed the most products. Search Amazon Australia for an evaporative cooler and many results are small USB desk fans that spray mist at your face. They have no wet pad and no pump. We excluded all of them, plus refrigerated portable air conditioners, plus any listing whose price looked like a reseller artefact.

After that the rules were simple. Each pick had to be in stock on Amazon Australia for a Sydney delivery address, carry a star rating with at least three ratings behind it, sit at a sane price, and publish at least its tank capacity, and we quote wattage and noise only where the listing gives them. Every price, rating and review count came off the Amazon Australia listing. Prices on Amazon move constantly, so check before you commit.

One more disclosure you deserve. The eligible field on Amazon Australia includes white-label stock with modest review counts, which is why you will see brands below you have never heard of and review counts in the single and double digits. The big Australian evaporative names, Breville, Convair, Seeley and its Braemar and Breezair brands, are essentially absent from Amazon Australia, and Bonaire lists there without clearing our price screen this time. For those brands try Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Bunnings, Retravision or an air conditioning specialist, and note that Breezair and Braemar mostly sell ducted rooftop systems rather than portables.

We checked every listing on Amazon Australia for stock, seller and Sydney delivery, and searched the national electrical equipment register for each model. Sources: the Amazon Australia product listings and their seller details, the specifications on those listings and the EESS national register.

Best overall: Maxkon 3-in-1 Evaporative Air Cooler 36L

The Maxkon 3-in-1 36 L is the pick if you want to fill a tank in the morning and forget about it. Its 36 litre reservoir is by far the largest here, and Maxkon publishes a water consumption figure of 1.8 litres per hour, which works out to roughly twenty hours of cooling per fill. The COOLECH also publishes a water consumption figure. It pushes a claimed 2,000 cubic metres of air per hour through a 25 mm water curtain, draws 120 watts, and is rated by the manufacturer for rooms of 25 to 40 cubic metres, which suits a small lounge or a large bedroom at typical Australian ceiling heights. At the 7 October 2026 check this listing had no featured offer for a Perth delivery address; for Sydney it was sold by AUSWAY with delivery quoted as 15 October. We could not find a current Australian electrical registration for this model. One bullet on the Maxkon listing gave the tank as 20 L, while its title and specification table give 36 L.

It stands 98 cm tall on a 44 by 34 cm footprint, rolls on castors, comes with a remote and two ice crystal packs you freeze and drop in the tank, and runs three speeds with a 24 hour timer. At 120 watts it has the highest stated power draw here and is still cheap to run: ten hours uses about 1.2 kilowatt hours. It holds 3.8 stars from 6 ratings on Amazon Australia.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The 6 ratings on Amazon Australia are not much to go on, and one of them complains that the water tank cannot be opened for cleaning, which matters in a machine holding standing water. Another buyer had to replace the pump. Maxkon lists no manufacturer warranty on the Amazon detail page. A full tank is roughly 36 kilograms of water plus a 9.3 kilogram machine, so decide where it lives before you fill it, and drain it before you move it.

Best evaporative cooler for a desk, a bedside table or a home office

The Evapolar evaCHILL is a different kind of product and the listing is refreshingly honest about it: it is designed to cool your body, not your room. It holds 800 millilitres, draws 7.5 watts, runs off USB including a power bank or a car socket, and blows through a basalt fibre cartridge across a claimed personal zone of about 2.4 square metres. If you sit still at a desk or sleep in one spot, that is the right shape of machine. If you want to walk around a lounge and feel cooler, it is the wrong one.

It is by far the most reviewed product here, with 3.8 stars from 5,108 ratings on Amazon Australia. It also has the lowest published noise figure at 25 decibels and the lowest stated power draw at 7.5 watts among the eight listings giving those figures. Four fan speeds, one button, 907 grams, one year warranty. The Australian reviews include people using it beside a bed or at a desk, including one off-grid buyer running it from a portable battery. Sold by CoolTrade Inc and shipped by Amazon; delivery to Sydney was quoted as 12 October at the 7 October 2026 check.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The critical Australian reviews cluster on two fair complaints. On high speed it is louder than the 25 decibel figure suggests, and one Australian buyer said a cheap plain fan did a better job. The light on newer units is bright enough to bother light sleepers. The 800 mL tank needs refilling, so plan for water access when choosing a spot. It also bundles humidification and filtration you may not need.

De'Longhi EV250WH: IPX4 splash resistance and brand support

The De'Longhi EV250WH is one of two coolers here from a mainstream appliance brand, and it has a two year warranty and an Australian entity behind it. It holds 4.5 litres, which De'Longhi rates at six hours, after which it keeps going as a plain fan. You get three speeds, three modes including sleep, an ioniser, an anti-bacterial dust filter, a remote, folding castors, IPX4 splash resistance and one ice block. Its model is listed on the national electrical equipment register.

The IPX4 rating is the quietly useful bit, because it means the unit copes with splashing water from any direction, which makes it the pick of this group for a covered patio. De'Longhi's own listing says outright that the machine is for dry climates and works best when a little outside air circulates through the room. That instruction matters more than any spec: an evaporative cooler in a sealed room saturates the air and stops working.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

It holds 3.4 stars across 92 ratings on Amazon Australia, and the reviews explain why. Several buyers in low humidity cities said they could not tell it apart from a small fan even with ice bricks in the tray, one buyer in a hot afternoon-sun room ended up with a space just as hot and now humid too, and there are a handful of reports of units failing inside a few weeks. Its claimed 53 decibels is above the 50 decibels claimed by the two Maxkons, and six hours per fill is the shortest published run time of the room-sized units. Buy it for the brand support and the splash rating, not raw cooling power.

Best evaporative cooler for a narrow room or a rental with no floor space

The COOLECH 4-in-1 evaporative tower cooler is the one to look at if a squat box on castors will not fit. It is 107 cm tall on a 31 by 31 cm base, weighs 5.2 kilograms, and works as a fan, humidifier, aroma diffuser and evaporative cooler depending on whether you add water and ice. If adding moisture to dry winter air is the actual job, a dedicated humidifier does it far better than any cooler. The listing describes a top fill design and a 4.2 litre bottom tank, so you refill without bending down, and six reusable ice packs come in the box, the most of any pick here.

The ratings on this listing included reviews of a different product, so we quote no rating for it. COOLECH claims 23 square metres of coverage, 1,350 cubic feet per minute of airflow, a 15 hour timer, 80 degree oscillation, an LED touch panel with a five metre remote, a washable filter, a low water indicator and an anti-tip base. It draws 65 watts, and the published 0.5 litres per hour evaporation rate means the 4.2 litre tank runs about eight hours. Sold by EVERCONNEX and shipped by Amazon; delivery to Sydney was quoted as 11 to 13 October at the 7 October 2026 check, and we found no Australian business identity for the seller. We could not find a current Australian electrical registration for this model.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

Read the reviews carefully to check which product each buyer is describing. The manufacturer quotes 45 decibels in the specification table, so treat that as a listing claim rather than a measurement. A 4.2 litre tank in a tall narrow body also means a high centre of gravity, so the anti-tip base is doing real work if you have kids or a dog.

Best middle ground between tank size and price

The Maxkon 3-in-1 20 L sits between the 36 litre flagship and everything else. Its 20 litre tank and 80 watt power draw suit a bedroom or study better than an open plan lounge. It rolls on castors and comes with two ice crystal packs, three speeds and a 24 hour timer. Sold by AUSWAY; delivery to Sydney was quoted as 15 October at the 7 October 2026 check. We could not find a current Australian electrical registration for this model.

With 3.4 stars across 34 ratings on Amazon Australia it has more review history than the 36 litre model, and the reviews are usefully mixed. That rating was pooled across sizes of this model, including 6 L and 7 L versions. The best is from a buyer cooling a baby's room that catches the sun all day with the ice pack plus extra ice cubes, who calls it not an air conditioner but cool air for a very long time, and much easier than fitting a window unit in an apartment. That is a fair description of what this category does well.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

Cleaning is the recurring complaint. Several Australian owners said the tank is awkward to access, refilling is fiddly because the pump is in the way, and overfilling triggers a beep that will not stop. One buyer filled the tank without knowing a cable tie on the pump needed cutting first, because that instruction sits in small print at the end of a badly translated manual. Read the manual before you add water. At a claimed 50 decibels and 3.4 stars on Amazon Australia it has neither the lowest published noise figure nor the highest rating here.

Also listed: Advwin 8L Evaporative Air Cooler

The Advwin 8L Evaporative Air Cooler combines a cooler, fan and humidifier, with four ice crystal boxes and an 8 litre tank. Sold by Advwin and shipped by Amazon; delivery to Sydney was quoted as 11 to 12 October at the 7 October 2026 check. We could not find a current Australian electrical registration for this model.

For a bedroom or study, its top refill design and water level alarm make filling straightforward. There are three speeds, Normal, Natural and Sleep modes, and an eight hour timer. It draws 60 watts and claims 55 decibels, so weigh noise against convenience if it will sit near your bed. It held 3.9 stars from 38 ratings on Amazon Australia, pooled across sizes of this model including a 4 L version.

Also listed: Devanti 12L Evaporative Air Cooler

The Devanti 12L Evaporative Air Cooler combines cooling, humidification and purification around a 12 litre tank. Sold by Artiss Furnishings; delivery to Sydney was quoted as 14 October at the 7 October 2026 check, and we found no Australian business identity for the seller. The listing does not give a model number, so we could not check the national electrical equipment register for it.

For a bedroom or study, the remote, adjustable louvers and four castors let you direct the airflow and move the unit between uses. Two ice packs, three speeds, Normal, Natural and Sleep modes and a seven and a half hour timer are included. It draws 70 watts and claims 60 decibels. It held 4.2 stars from 18 ratings on Amazon Australia, so read the reviews before deciding.

Also listed: Midea Portable Air Cooler, 3-in-1 Tower

The Midea Portable Air Cooler, 3-in-1 Tower (AC100-20AR) has a 4.8 litre tank, two ice packs and a remote. It combines fan, evaporative cooling and humidifier functions, with three speeds, Normal, Natural and Sleep modes, a seven hour timer and 60 degree automatic oscillation. Its model is listed on the national electrical equipment register.

The 29.5 by 23 cm footprint and 85 cm height suit a bedroom or study where floor space matters. A removable washable filter helps with routine cleaning, but the tank still needs refilling and drying between uses. It held 5.0 stars from 3 ratings on Amazon Australia, a small sample.

The competition and what else we looked at

The YOPOWER 3-in-1 4 L is a compact alternative to the De'Longhi, with 3.8 stars across 29 ratings on Amazon Australia (pooled across sizes of this model, including 2.5 L, 8 L and 12 L versions), a 4 litre drawer style tank with a water level window, 60 watts, a one to seven hour timer, touch and remote control, vertical oscillation, castors and an ice box included. It is small: 25 by 23 by 50.5 cm and 3.5 kilograms. It sits here rather than above because reviews repeatedly say the listing photos make it look far bigger than it is, and its 55 decibel claim is above De'Longhi's 53 decibels. A Queensland buyer got good results with ice packs and ice in the water, and also noted it is not good for big rooms. Both halves of that are true. Sold by YOPOWER and shipped by Amazon; delivery to Sydney was quoted as 11 to 12 October at the 7 October 2026 check, and we found no Australian business identity for the seller. We could not find a current Australian electrical registration for this model. The listing showed it in stock, sold by YOPOWER.

Beyond our nine, Bonaire also makes portable evaporative coolers. We left them out of the numbered picks because Amazon Australia was not showing a stable retail price when we wrote this, not because they are bad machines. If you see one sensibly priced at Harvey Norman or The Good Guys, it deserves a look.

We deliberately excluded three groups: personal USB mist fans, which have no wet pad whatever the listing claims; refrigerated portable air conditioners, including refrigerated models from Midea, Shinco and Costway, which belong in our portable air conditioner guide; and ducted rooftop systems from Breezair, Braemar, Brivis and Coolbreeze, which are a renovation decision.

What should you look for in a portable evaporative cooler?

Start with humidity, because it decides everything else. Performance falls away sharply as relative humidity climbs, and Evapolar states its cooler is most effective at relative humidity not exceeding 70 per cent. Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Alice Springs and inland New South Wales and Victoria spend most hot afternoons well under that. Coastal Queensland and Sydney in a summer storm build do not.

Then work through five specs in this order.

• Tank litres and litres per hour together. Litres alone are meaningless. A 36 litre tank at 1.8 litres per hour gives twenty hours, a 4.5 litre tank gives six. If a listing publishes only the tank size, assume frequent refills.
• Coverage claims, treated sceptically. Cross-check them against airflow: 2,000 cubic metres per hour is a lounge room machine, anything with a tank measured in millilitres is a personal machine.
• Noise, as a ranking rather than a number. These are pumps plus fans and none of them are silent at full speed. The two Maxkons claim 50 decibels, so check reviews for overnight use, and anything claiming well above that is a living room appliance, not something you sleep beside.
• Ice pack compartments. Freezing the supplied packs and dropping them in the tank chills the water going to the pad and helps while the water remains cold. More packs means you can rotate them: the COOLECH ships six, the two Maxkons two each, the De'Longhi and YOPOWER one each.
• Power draw. The whole point of this technology is that it is cheap to run. The eight listings with published wattages sit between 7.5 and 120 watts.

Two extras. Castors matter more than you expect: a full tank is heavy. And a splash rating such as the De'Longhi's IPX4 separates a unit you can put on a covered patio from one that must stay indoors.

How do you look after an evaporative cooler so it lasts?

The failure mode here is not the motor, it is standing water. A tank that sits full and warm between uses grows biofilm, the pad clogs with scale, and within a season you have a machine that smells and moves less air. Three habits help prevent it.

Empty and dry the tank between uses. Not most of the water, all of it, then leave the tank open to air out. This is a useful habit, and it is why you should check before buying whether the tank actually opens for cleaning, since one Maxkon 36 L owner complained that theirs does not.

Rinse the cooling pad regularly, particularly in hard water areas. If your unit has a removable rear grille and a pad you can pull out, rinse the pad under a tap. Let it dry fully before it goes back in. Filtered water slows scale build-up noticeably and costs less than a replacement pad.

Run the fan dry at the end of a session. That pulls moisture out of the pad instead of leaving it damp overnight, which is where the smell starts. At the end of summer, drain, clean the pad, dry everything, and store with the tank empty and the lid off. Also cut any transport restraint on the pump before first use, because at least one of these machines ships with one.

What else will you want with your evaporative cooler?

An evaporative cooler is one part of a summer setup. These pair with it well.

• Spare reusable ice packs, so you always have a frozen set waiting while the current pair thaws in the tank. This is a simple performance upgrade available to you.
• A small desktop cooling fan for the home office, so you are not carting the main unit between rooms during the work day.
• A filter jug if you are on hard water, because filling the tank with filtered water slows the scale that clogs the pad.
• A tower or pedestal fan to push the cooled air further into the room. These coolers produce a cool stream rather than a cool room, and a second fan spreads it.
• A ceiling fan, a way to move air around an Australian home, and it works in humid weather when the evaporative cooler will not.
• Blackout curtains on west-facing windows, so you are not cooling a room the afternoon sun keeps reheating.
• Microfibre cloths for wiping down the tank and grille, since a dedicated set keeps that job quick enough that you do it.

Evaporative cooler questions Australian buyers actually ask

Do evaporative coolers work in humid Australian climates?

Not well. Evaporative cooling works by evaporating water into the air, so the drier the air, the more heat it removes. In humid coastal conditions such as a Sydney or Brisbane summer afternoon the air is already close to saturated, so you end up with a fan that adds moisture to a muggy room. Evapolar publishes a guideline that its cooler is most effective at relative humidity not exceeding 70 per cent. If your worst heat is humid rather than dry, buy refrigerated cooling instead.

How much does an evaporative cooler cost to run compared to air conditioning?

Far less: the eight listings with published wattages in this guide draw between 7.5 and 120 watts. Running the 120 watt Maxkon 36 L for ten hours uses about 1.2 kilowatt hours, calculated as 120 divided by 1,000, multiplied by ten. Compare that with your air conditioner's wattage and use your own tariff from your bill. The Maxkon 36 L and COOLECH publish water consumption figures of 1.8 and 0.5 litres per hour respectively.

Do you need to leave a window open when using an evaporative cooler?

Yes. An evaporative cooler adds moisture to the room, so in a sealed room the air becomes more humid and cooling weakens. De'Longhi's own instructions say to position the unit in front of an open window and opposite an open door so there is cross ventilation. One Australian Advwin 8L owner, writing about Melbourne summers, advised running it with a window open to avoid moisture build-up.

How big a room can a portable evaporative cooler actually cool?

Match the machine to the space. The Maxkon 36 L is rated by its maker for 25 to 40 cubic metres with 2,000 cubic metres per hour of airflow, which suits a small lounge or a large bedroom. The COOLECH tower claims 23 square metres. The Maxkon 20 L listing describes it for small to medium-sized rooms. The Evapolar evaCHILL is explicitly a personal cooler covering about 2.4 square metres. Treat every coverage claim as an optimistic ceiling measured in dry conditions.

Why are evaporative cooler ratings on Amazon so low?

Expectations matter: five of the nine coolers sit between 3.3 and 3.8 stars on Amazon Australia. Read the low ratings with your humidity, ventilation and cooling expectations in mind. The recurring genuine complaints are noise, awkward tank cleaning and poorly translated manuals rather than outright failure. The guide also includes white-label stock with small review counts.

Which evaporative cooler brands are missing from Amazon Australia?

The big Australian names. Breville, Convair and the Seeley group's Braemar and Breezair brands are effectively absent from Amazon Australia, and Bonaire's portable range lists there without stable pricing. Braemar and Breezair are mostly ducted rooftop systems sold through air conditioning specialists. For those brands, or Goldair, Dimplex, Heller and Honeywell portables, try Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Bunnings or Retravision.

How does an evaporative cooler work?

It pulls warm dry air through a soaked pad with a fan. Water evaporating out of that pad absorbs heat from the air passing over it, so the air leaving the machine is cooler and wetter than the air going in. There is no compressor and no refrigerant, which is why running costs are a fraction of refrigerated cooling. The trade is that it only works while the air is dry enough to take the moisture.

What is an evaporative cooler?

An evaporative cooler, also sold as a swamp cooler or an air cooler, is a fan with a water tank and a wet pad in front of it. It cools by evaporation rather than refrigeration, so it uses a fraction of the power of an air conditioner and adds humidity instead of removing it. The nine portable units in this guide hold between a personal tank and 36 litres.

What is an evaporative air conditioner?

Australian retailers use evaporative air conditioner and evaporative air cooler for the same technology, and neither is an air conditioner in the refrigerated sense. The difference that matters is portable against ducted. The portables in this guide sit in one room. A ducted evaporative air conditioner is a rooftop unit plumbed through the ceiling, installed by a specialist, and it cools a whole house rather than a room.

How much water does an evaporative cooler use?

Work it back from tank size and run time. The Maxkon holds 36 litres and the listing quotes consumption of 1.8 litres an hour, which works out to about twenty hours of cooling per fill. The COOLECH listing quotes 0.5 litres per hour. Higher fan speeds and drier air both raise the rate, so treat a full tank as a long evening rather than a fixed number of hours.

How do you clean an evaporative cooler?

Empty the tank after every use rather than leaving water standing, because still water in a warm tank is what makes a cooler smell. Regularly, pull the pad out, rinse it under a tap and let it dry completely before it goes back in. Wipe the tank with warm soapy water and rinse. At the end of summer, dry the pad and the tank fully before the unit goes into storage.

Is Breezair better than Braemar?

They are both Seeley International brands and both are ducted rooftop evaporative systems, not portables, so neither is comparable with anything in this guide. Breezair is the premium line, with the higher airflow and the inverter models; Braemar is the mainstream one at a lower installed price. Either is a specialist installation, and both suit dry inland climates for the same reason the portables here do.

In which climate is evaporative cooling most effective?

Evaporative cooling is most effective in hot, dry air, because the drier the air, the more heat the evaporating water removes. Dry inland summers in places such as Perth, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Mildura or Dubbo suit it, while a humid Sydney or Brisbane summer afternoon does not. Evapolar states its cooler is most effective at relative humidity not exceeding 70 per cent.

Do mini evaporative coolers work?

A mini cooler can work as a personal cooler rather than a room cooler. The Evapolar evaCHILL is designed to cool your body, not your room, with an 800 millilitre tank and a claimed personal zone of about 2.4 square metres. Small USB mist fans with no wet pad are not true evaporative coolers, and any evaporative cooler needs dry air to work well.

Which is the number one brand in air coolers?

Among the portable coolers in this guide, Maxkon makes our best overall pick, the Maxkon 3-in-1 36L, while the De'Longhi EV250WH is one of two coolers here from a mainstream appliance brand, with a two year warranty. Big Australian names such as Breezair and Braemar mostly sell ducted rooftop systems and are essentially absent from Amazon Australia.

What are the top 5 best evaporative coolers?

This guide compares nine portable evaporative coolers rather than ranking a top five. Its leading picks are the Maxkon 3-in-1 36L for a lounge room in dry heat, the Evapolar evaCHILL for a desk or bedside, the De'Longhi EV250WH for brand support, the COOLECH tower for a narrow room and the Maxkon 3-in-1 20L as the middle ground between tank size and price.

What else should a first-home buyer read next?

Cooling one room is rarely the whole problem. These cover the rest of the setup.

• Best portable air conditioner Australia, the right answer if your heat is humid rather than dry.
• Best ceiling fan Australia, for permanent air movement in a room.
• Best tower and pedestal fans Australia, for moving cooled air where you want it.
• Best dehumidifier Australia, the opposite machine, for homes where moisture is the enemy.
• Best cooling blanket Australia, for sleeping through hot nights without running anything.
• Best air purifier Australia, worth pairing during bushfire smoke season.
• Best blackout curtains Australia, so you stop the heat before it gets in.
