Ready to go right out of the box. Pushes a lot of air. I had to use ice to cool it down a couple of times. The water loading ( where you pour the water into the unit at) was easily accessible and large enough to put ice cubes into.
We had record setting temperatures this year. In Alaska, we generally do not have air conditioners. After some research, I decided on this unit. It is a large unit, cools the air down quickly but not easy to roll around on carpet. Will put moisture into the air quickly. I think this unit is good for home as well as commercial use.
Shipping through best buy was great. Product was delivered in 3 days.

Quality in the build, yet lightweight. Easy to maneuver even when filled with water. Powerful fan reaches beyond the rated coverage area and cools nicely. Only downside is that we are using it for indoors, so not using the hose attachment causes it to deplete the water fairly rapidly. Tank will need re-filling about every 6 hours with the fan on medium. Fifteen gallons is a lot to fill by hand, but it probably depletes the same as all evaporative coolers. Also worth noting: Indoor use will cause humidity to rise more than I expected. I Highly recommend that you use it next to an open window and point it towards another slightly open window.

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. These units work best in areas with a dry climate, with humidity levels below 50-60%. They also require ample cross ventilation along with dry heat for optimal cooling. The effect of the cool air is best felt when the unit is placed near an open window. Since these units cool using the natural process of water evaporation, they increase the humidity in the area. Please feel free to write to us at [email protected] for any further assistance from our customer support team.

We absolutely love this cooler! For hot or humid days on our patio in Texas this fan does a great job. We especially love the oscillating feature so everyone gets to enjoy.

This unit came like a refrigerator, so expect a large unit and is not that portable unless you like moving large units around. It is good for dry areas and does not cool places that are humid. I had to return it as it did not fit my needs.

Hi, Evaporative Air Coolers are not the same as Portable Air Conditioners. Air Coolers use the natural process of evaporation to cool down air versus air conditioning which requires a compressor and cooling refrigerant. Air Coolers are more comparable to a fan, and should not be expected to cool like an AC. Air Coolers also work best in dry climates with humidity that is below 50 - 60%. Please reach out to our Customer Support team directly at 1-800-474-2147 between 8:30 am and 5:30 pm EST Monday through Friday or send us an email at [email protected] so we can help recommend the right unit for you. Thanks!

Unit is very easy to fill and track water levels. The hose attachment is a huge benefit. We use it for tailgating and it has made a huge difference in our level of comfort

This cooler when placed properly in our non-air conditioned porch dropped the temperature by 20 degrees even in the 90 degree heat and humidity of a Florida summer. Now we can spend more time out there.

This is by far the best potable swamp cooler I have bought (and I’ve done quite a few) this is my 2nd one of this one. the air flow is great, it doesn’t take a lot of juice. We actually bought this one to go on our houseboat and the generator runs it great.

Simple Solution to a BIG problem

We recently remodelled a 4000 sq ft warehouse and turned it into a Dog Boarding Play Area. I was using other forms of coolers and they were not keeping up with the panting and heat expelled by the playful hounds. I added this to the room (even with 10 foot ceilings) it brought the temperature down within minutes. Moves a lot of air, circulates, and works fantastically. I am going back onto the website to buy another one for my house.
