The Igenix IG9703 Portable Air Cooler is a multi-functional and high performance appliance. It has a large 6 litre water tank which can be filled with ice cold water for maximum effect. It provides an excellent means of cooling down rooms up to 15 square metres in size, including living rooms, bedrooms, pet rooms, conservatories and home offices.

The unit's other features include three fan speeds, a closed grill for minimising dust/impurities, an oscillation function, a humidification mode and an up to 7 hour timer. It also has a digital display, a simple to understand control panel and a remote control. We like its portable design which is due to a carry handle and four castor wheels.
