Customer Review: Forget about replacements
DOn't think about buying this product unless plan on never having to replace the carafe. I purchased a boat and this unit came installed in it. During one of our trips, the carafe came out of the unit and crashed on the floor. I called Applica/B&D only to be connected to some company called Fox International. Their customer service rep told me that no carafes are available for the 3 month old coffeemaker, but they would be more than happy to sell me a new coffeemaker. It is quite apparent that Applica has no concern about providing service for any items they sell.
Customer Review: Replacement Coffee Maker
The unit was a re-built unit and has worked without fail every AM for the last year. There is a water leaking problem when you fill the water bin to the max (12 cups), however you can keep this from being a problem by only filling it to 11 cup level.


Evaporative coolers for commercial purposes? It may sound strange since we all are used to personal evaporative coolers. The concept of commercial air coolers is the same as the one that you use at your home. The difference lies in the size of the unit and the area covered. Industries need big sized air coolers that are capable of cooling larger areas. Moreover, the evaporative coolers used for commercial purposes require good quality durable cabinets, usually made of stainless steel with long lasting wet pads and heavy pumps. They are efficient in providing area and spot cooling within no time.

Air Coolers In Workplace

It is believed that to work properly in your workplace, you need to have a room temperature of around 23 24 C, failing which the work efficiency decreases. But in most places, the need to cool the room temperature is felt only for a few months. Thus, installing heavy air conditioners is unnecessary in those regions. The three basic things that commercial houses consider in an air cooler are its speed, flexibility and cost. The evaporative coolers are a popular choice for commercial purposes because compared to air conditioners; they are less expensive and suit well in ventilated places like workshops and factories.

Features Of Commercial Air Coolers

The commercial coolers comprise powerful motors and premium pads. The pads are so prepared to provide extra protection against harmful pollutants and excess cooling. The throw of commercial coolers is larger as they are designed to cool large areas. Most of them are provided with heavy wheels for ease in movement that can be locked. The diameter of the fan and the water retention capacity is larger than the personal coolers.

Made out of stainless steel, they are durable and provide years of service and maintenance. The best part is, depending on the application, the units can be custom designed. In most cases the powerful blowers have backward incline or forward curve to manage high volume of air and static pressure. The commercial coolers are available in up discharge, down, side and various other configurations.

Standard Sized Air Coolers

The standard size of the commercial evaporative coolers can go up to 60,000 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). There are a few things that are to be kept in mind while selecting commercial evaporative coolers. Avoid coated or galvanized steel and use a stainless steel of grade 304 to enhance durability. These economic coolers not only decrease the cost of operation, but also ensure the constant supply of cool and fresh air in and out of the area where it is placed.
