Then I tested portability. I moved EpiCooler between my bedroom, lounge, office and living room throughout the week. Carrying it took one hand, and the compact size fit on nightstands, desks, tables and counters without reorganizing furniture. The remote let me adjust settings from across the room.

Noise was next. I cycled through all six modes at night. The lowest setting produced almost no sound. Even at full power, it stayed quieter than my refrigerator. I slept through the night with it running.

The heating function surprised me. When temperatures dropped in the evening, I switched to heat mode. Five minutes later, my room went from chilly to comfortable. Having one device handle both seasons eliminated my need for a separate space heater, so convenient!

Durability got tested by accident when I knocked Epicooler off my desk. It hit the floor hard and I mean HARD. No cracks, or screen or cosmetic damage. It powered right back on.

Most portable air coolers cost around $400, and many of them struggle to cool a single room effectively. On top of that, inefficient models can increase your electricity bill significantly over time.

EpiCooler costs less upfront and runs more efficiently, which keeps your energy costs manageable even with daily use. The dual heating and cooling function also means you don’t need to buy a separate space heater, saving you another $50 to $100.

Right now, Epicooler is $137.99 with 50% off. If you buy two, the price drops to $110.99 each for a total of $221.98. That’s 60% off!

I bought two myself. One stays in my bedroom, and the other moves between my office and living room. At $110.99 per unit, I paid less than what a single window AC installation would have cost and I didn’t need landlord approval or any modifications to my apartment.
