A wet pad, a fan, and a lot less power than a compressor · review
The largest tank in SereneLife's evaporative range: a 25 L reservoir with four included ice packs, rated for rooms up to about 84 m². SereneLife publishes 80 W power draw, roughly 2 900 m³/h airflow, three speeds, two modes, 60/120° oscillation, a 1–12 hour timer, and 65 dB or lower noise, on 360° casters with a carry handle.
The bottom line The SLACL25WHGY is the largest-capacity option in this comparison, and the specification backs that up: more airflow, wider oscillation, a bigger rated coverage area, and four included ice packs. It's also the heaviest and most expensive unit here, and the French listing wasn't showing a live price at the time of checking. The WiFi feature mentioned on the US listing isn't confirmed on the European specification sheets, so buy on the coverage and tank size, not on assumed smart-home features. As with every cooler in this range, it's built for dry-climate comfort, not as an air-conditioning replacement.
At 25 L, this is the largest reservoir in SereneLife’s evaporative lineup, and the practical benefit is straightforward: fewer trips to refill it, especially paired with the four included ice packs for an extra cooling boost. SereneLife’s German and Italian listings both put the rated airflow at roughly 2 900 m³/h and the coverage at up to about 84 m² — figures that agree closely enough between the two markets (2 900 versus 2 882 m³/h) to treat as consistent rather than coincidental.
Three fan speeds combine with two modes — Normal and Natural — and oscillation that swings between 60° and 120°, wider than the fixed 60° on SereneLife’s smaller 5 L tower model in the same range. The manufacturer’s noise figure tops out at 65 dB, slightly higher than the under-60 dB claimed for the smaller unit, which tracks with the larger fan needed to move more air. A 1–12 hour timer, set via remote, covers everything from a short burst of cooling to an overnight run.
Casters rated for 360° movement and a built-in carry handle are there because, at 7 kg and holding up to 25 L of water when full, this isn’t a unit you’d want to lift by the housing alone. The footprint — 39.6 × 31 × 83 cm — is compact for the tank size, closer to a slim tower than a boxy floor unit.
One detail is worth flagging directly: a US listing for this same ASIN advertises WiFi connectivity and app control. None of the German, Italian, or Spanish specification sheets — which otherwise match each other closely on every figure, from airflow to weight to dimensions — mention WiFi at all. That’s a meaningful enough gap that this page doesn’t claim smart-home control as a feature; if that matters to you, check the specific listing you’re buying from rather than assuming it applies.
The ASIN is identical across Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, and the description is consistent on three of the four. At the time of checking, Germany, Italy, and Spain showed a live price; the French listing exists with the same product description but had no current offer. Worth confirming stock before relying on the French page specifically.
For the largest room in this comparison’s range of use cases — a living room rather than a single bedroom — the 25 L tank, wider oscillation, and higher rated coverage make this the logical top-tier pick, at a price and weight to match. Buy it for the tank size and airflow figures that are consistently published across three European markets, not for the WiFi feature that only shows up on one listing. And as with every cooler here, it’s evaporative: strongest in dry air, and much less useful once the room is already humid.

No. It's rated for up to about 84 m², but that figure describes airflow coverage from an evaporative cooler, not refrigerated cooling. In dry conditions it can meaningfully lower the perceived temperature across that space; in a humid room, the effect is much closer to a plain fan.
The specification sheets on the German, Italian, and Spanish Amazon listings for this ASIN — which agree closely with each other on every other spec — make no mention of WiFi or an app. A separate US listing for the same ASIN does advertise WiFi control, so this may vary by region or listing version; treat app control as unconfirmed unless the specific listing you're buying states it.
They're related models in the same SereneLife range. This 25 L version has roughly triple the airflow (about 2 900 m³/h versus 1 000 m³/h), a wider oscillation range (60/120° versus 60°), and a much larger tank — at close to double the price and noticeably more weight (7 kg versus 5.5 kg).

A living room or larger space in a dry climate, for buyers who'd rather refill a tank every few days than every few hours.
