This little air cooler is perfect for an apartment or condo. Not only does it cool small areas (like a bedroom or small living room) really well, but it’s lightweight and easy to move around with its wheels and convenient handles on each side; the removable water tank is easy to fill and keep clean (use one of the included blue ice “bricks” along with ice cubes if possible, to enhance the cooling effect); the water level indicator is visible from the front; the filters are easy to remove and rinse off; and the small remote (that stores in the back of the unit when not in use) is convenient for changing the timer, speeds, modes, etc. I have a much bigger & heavier evaporative cooler for larger areas or when it’s particularly hot. But it’s a big hassle because the tank isn’t removable and tends to develop smelly algae within a couple of days, then I have to lug it outside to drain it and scrub the tank—not to mention having to point the exhaust outside by leaving my front door open when it’s in use, which decreases the cooling effect. And it’s very noisy. All in all, the NewAir cooler is way more convenient and easy to use and maintain!

Keeps you cool if you do not have air conditioning. Great to run at night instead of the central air conditioning. I only have to fill the water up 2 or 3 times a day max.

I’m Satisfied buying this product cuz I can take out and clean the water container.

We live in El Paso Tx. My girlfriend's a/c at her apartment complex is horrible and often goes out of order, with management taking up to a whole week to fix it. In the hottest time of the year, my girlfriend was roasting and she often struggled to make it through the night using her ceiling fan and a box fan I had bought alone. I bought this thing just to keep in her room so she could at least get some sleep without dying. This little thing worked in cooling off the entire room like a charm. When the a/c is actually working (rarely), both of these cool the room immensely. I know it's recommended to open a window to let the air flow, but we personally keep the windows closed when using it and it works just fine. From a technical standpoint, when it arrived she couldn't wait for me to get there to set it up. She set it up all by herself, and by the time I got there it had already cooled her place off really nicely. It seemed easy to set up. It's pretty heavy but sturdy, and the wheels mean it's easy to move around. For sure it doesn't feel cheap or seem like the company cut corners anywhere. We both often remark that this has been one of my best purchases. It's worth every penny, I paid around 160 for it.

I have purchased others kinds of evaporative coolers and regretted all of them. It gets completely un livable in this house during summer months and I have wasted so much money trying to get relief. I was afraid to try another one but I had to, so I got this one and was shocked. It works great. It makes the room bearable even when it gets over 100° outside. It got knocked over hard onto a concrete floor and still works. FYI, It is not easy to knock it over I just have a family full of people that have tenancy to break everything. It isn't too loud. I can talk on the phone with it on high. It is very easy to fill. It lasts through the night. When the water is too low it has a soft beep then switches itself to fan only if you don't refill it. The beeping is soft enough to not disturb sleep, work etc. but enough to let you know when you're awake. I bought another one 3 days after I got the first one.
