Question from Jan: Asked on 05/07/2026 Does this require a hose out of the window
Hi Jan,No, it doesn't require a hose out of the window because it's an evaporative air cooler, not a portable air conditioner.Thanks!
Question from Datz: Asked on 03/07/2026 what size room will this cool
Hi, The AKAI 7L Evaporative Air Cooler (AC701R) is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms, typically up to around 25–35 square metres. As an evaporative cooler, it works by circulating air through water to create a cooling breeze rather than lowering the actual room temperature like an air conditioner, and it performs best in well-ventilated spaces such as bedrooms, home offices, and smaller living areas.
Thank you.

Question from Anthony: Asked on 03/07/2026 How quiet is the unit? How many dB?
Hi, The AKAI AC701R 7L Evaporative Air Cooler operates at approximately 64 dB(A) under standard operating conditions. This is comparable to the level of a normal conversation or background television noise. As with most evaporative air coolers, noise comes from the internal fan and water circulation, so while it is not silent, it is within the typical range for this type of appliance.
Thank you.
Question from Verina: Asked on 03/07/2026 Height? I'm assuming it's a typo
Hi, The AKAI AC701R evaporative air cooler is approximately 57cm in height.
Thank you.
Question from Penny: Asked on 03/07/2026 Will it cool for the whole night?
Hi Penny,It can run throughout the night, but it will only provide evaporative cooling while there is water in the 7-litre tank. Once the water runs out, it will continue operating as a regular fan unless you have set the timer, which can switch it off after up to 7 hours.Thanks!
Question from Helen: Asked on 02/07/2026 How long does the ice last in the cooling system?
Hi Helen,In the AKAI AC701R 7L evaporative air cooler, the ice in the cooling system typically lasts around 1 to 3 hours if you use ice cubes, or up to 4 to 8 hours if you use frozen ice packs, depending on room temperature and fan speed.Thanks!
Question from JO: Asked on 02/07/2026 does it have ice boxes included?
Hi, Yes, the AKAI AC701R includes ice boxes as part of the package. These are designed to be filled and frozen before use, then placed into the water tank to help lower the temperature of the airflow and improve cooling performance.
Thank you.
Question from JO: Asked on 02/07/2026 what is the warranty period please
Hi, Yes this comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Thank you.
Question from Margaret: Asked on 02/07/2026 How many BTUs does this unit produce
Hi, The AKAI AC701R does not have a BTU rating. BTU is only used for refrigerant-based air conditioners with a compressor system. As an evaporative air cooler, this model uses water evaporation and airflow rather than refrigeration, so its performance is specified in watts (80W) rather than BTU.
Thank you.
Question from Debbie: Asked on 02/07/2026 How much energy per hour does this air con use?
Hi, The AKAI AC701R evaporative air cooler is very energy efficient, using just 80W of power in operation. This equates to approximately 0.08 kWh per hour, making it significantly cheaper to run than traditional air conditioning units. Running costs are therefore minimal, typically just a few pence per day depending on usage.
Thank you.
