    This does not cool down any room on a hot day! On a cool day, you'll feel the coolness from this machine, but when you really need it most on a hot day, it does nothing to keep you cool!

      We are sorry to hear this. Our portable evaporative air coolers work best in areas with a dry climate, with humidity levels below 50-60%. These also require ample cross ventilation along with dry heat for optimal cooling.

Please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-474-2147, Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (EST), or send us an email at [email protected] with the reference code number BBA0711.

    It's nice pretty good but something about it makes me feel like I'm suffocating I think when the windows are closed most definitely I think it's because it's not dry enough air

    Setting fan speed on highest can be a bit noisy at night, buy not during the day, other than that, well worth it!

      Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Evaporative Air Cooler, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Like other electrical devices, Evaporative Air Coolers do create some sounds when operating, due to the powerful air flowing out of the unit. The lower the speed setting, the lower the sound level. You will also hear the sound of water trickling through the evaporative cooling system that is liken to the sound of water gently running through a river. Please feel free to write to us at [email protected] for any further assistance from our customer support team.

    Brought this to use in the basement during the Chicago hot summer and it was not a good buy. Looked that it was portable and it was easy to fill with water and ice. I was easily able to return the item to Best Buy.

      We are sorry to hear this ! Our portable air conditioners work best in enclosed, well insulated spaces. Room environment conditions such as ceiling height, sunlight, number of windows/ doors and level of insulation can affect cooling efficiency and there are ways to increase the capacity of these units. There could be other reasons for the unit to not cool- temperature setting could be too high, or the exhaust hose may need re-installation to avoid the heat from coming back into the room. Please do give us a call at 1-800-474-2147, Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (EST), or send us an email at [email protected] with the reference code number BBB0917. We look forward to making this right for you. Thank You ! JMATEK

    Not worth it

    It looks like it has 2 vents, but it only blows air from one side. Too expensive for what you get. A fan with slightly cooler air.
