Our house (Melbourne) came with one.  When it was about 15 years old
its grass (?) filters needed replacement.  There was no name on the
unit to identify the manufacturer, but we found someone who could 
cut something to fit.  It also suffered from a small leak that was 
not noticed for a long time.  It is now fixed.

While its fan is the best part of it, its cooling ability is
not great.  We have it but tend to use room airconditioners 
more often as there aren't many dry days.
