Mediocre Product:
The product that I received is made of cheaply manufactured parts which were put together quickly and don't seem to fit well at all. In regard to the operational ability of this swamp cooler, it works all right, but not great. I have an older Convair swamp cooler that has been working for over ten years. It was better designed, and to this day, it still works better than newer one does. The cost of the older unit was comparable to this unit, and yet I received so much less with this product. The mediocre functional quality, as well as the poor manufacturing, bring me to give this product two stars. The water input feature is also marginally inconvenient. I mistakenly purchased this product because it seemed to have good reviews, although not many, but I took a chance regardless. I did some research before I bought it, but I guess I should have done more. Overall, I would much rather just have purchased a good quality Lakewood fan.
Not as described:
We have a lakehouse in the south with no air conditioner and I decided to purchase this for our bedroom. I just read some of the other rviews and see a few people have the same problem I do. The unit is VERY loud. The review I just read said that it has to be fixed. Mine runs out of water within 30 minutes and only puts off semi-cool air. One of the reviews say this is becuase of the hose. I bought this based on the description and it doesnt live up to the description. So now it looks like I have to go in and work on this thing to make it right according to everyone elses reviews. This is what is prompting my bad review of this product.
Good product, good price:
its a good cooler, but mine came broken, I fixed it and works good now, but it is not being enough for me, it cools good a small area, but even my small room is not cooled with this.
Good for cooling bedrooms:
I live in northern Utah, so virtually no humidity, and I thought this might help with sleeping on our few summer nights where open windows is not enough. I got good results with this unit by keeping a gallon of water "on call" in the fridge, and then pouring it in right before use. Then I'll take a couple trays of ice cubes, and dump them in to make sure the water stays cold. With those two steps, the unit will cool our room by about 5 degrees for several hours. 5 degrees is often the difference between sleeping vs. tossing and turning all night, so it's a success in my book. The fan itself is quite powerful and loud (which I like, because I need white noise to sleep, but others may not like it). This evaporative cooler is not going to cool down large rooms or anything, but it is perfect for our small bedroom. Recommended for the price.
A disappointment.:
I bought two of these units to use in my small condo. When they arrived I was disappointed in the cheap construction of the units. When I tried them I found that they will barely cool one small bedroom. They are very loud when running. The water usage is what does the little cooling this provides, and it runs out of water quickly and has to be refilled often, so it doen't help through the night. I did not feel that my money was well spent. I have a couple of window fans that work better and were not nearly as pricy. If I could make the decision over again, I would not buy this.
