    It's loud, expensive and the cooling feature is mediocre at best. There are cheaper alternatives that cool better than this.

    The fan strength is not that powerful. When using the cooler part of it I can not figure out how to get it to go to level 3. I can only use level 1 or 2 when in the water cooler mode.

    Love it! So much better than a regular fan. It is cool enough for the garage, portable and very convenient. It is easy to operate too (remote control included). And it is bigger than I expected!
