Dimplex Portable Air Coolers for Australian Homes

Dimplex sells portable evaporative coolers alongside refrigerated portable air conditioners. For an air cooler, compare tank size, room guidance and operating modes.

A Dimplex portable air cooler is an evaporative unit: it uses water and moving air, rather than the refrigeration cycle found in a portable air conditioner. In Australia, Dimplex lists several evaporative models, including the DCEVP6BW tower cooler and the DCEVP6WT cooler with air-purifier functionality.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What is the room guidance for the Dimplex DCEVP6BW?

Dimplex lists a maximum room size of 20 m² for the DCEVP6BW. This is manufacturer guidance; room layout and conditions may affect the result.

Does the Dimplex DCEVP6WT purify air as well as cool it?

Dimplex lists an H13 HEPA filter and separate suggested room sizes of 40 m² for cooling and 14 m² for air purification. Treat those as distinct uses when comparing the model.

How much water does a Dimplex portable cooler use?

It varies by model. The DCEVP6BW brochure states 5.5 litres of tank capacity and 0.95 litres per hour water consumption; the DCEVP6WT sheet lists 6 litres and 0.8 litres per hour.

Is a Dimplex portable air cooler an air conditioner?

No. The DCEVP6BW and DCEVP6WT are evaporative coolers. Dimplex also sells portable air conditioners, which are a separate product category.
