VAGKRI 35" Evaporative Air Cooler, 2800CFM Swamp Cooler, 120°Oscillation Air Cooler with Remote Control, 24H Timer, 3 Modes & Wind Speeds for Outdoor Indoor Use, 9.2Gallon

Really happy with this. Have a giant back yard tent and it gets HOT in there. Bay Area California has low humidity so it works perfect here. 95 degrees out and I can keep the 120sq ft tent at ~76 easily (output at unit is 67-68 degrees). 90 or below and the tent stays 72-73 degrees. Build quality of this evap cooler is really nice. Well thought out design. Controls work great, the swing function is nice to cover a large area with cold air. I also appreciate how quiet the unit is even at high speed. The automatic fill with garden hose is great to keep it going all day, week, month long.From opening the unit up, it is nice to see that it should be servicable in future in case you need to replace the evap pads, pump, etc. I also want to point out I had a little issue when mine arrived and support immediately helped me out and got me the part needed to fix. Great to know they have good customer service!Couple tips for those new to evap coolers:If you live in high humidity, this may not work well for you. But if low humidy, you'll be loving the cool refreshing air.I tend to find that evap coolers work better right in front of a window sucking in hot dry air. Make sure you have something open on the other side to allow ventilation.Ice isn't needed. I never notice any difference with ice. Once it runs for a while, the water becomes super cold anyways. You may need to run for ~30 min for it to get maximum cooling.I also recommend using a calcium filter on a hose to prevent build up.You will be very happy with this unit.

First off, I want to say I'm extremely happy with the unit itself. It works as advertised. I upgraded to this one having a smaller unit - and what drew me in was the ability to fill the 9.2 gallon tank via a hose connection vs. slowly filling from the top which is the only way I could fill the other one I had. There are 3 fan levels, a cold on/off, a natural wind feature which varies the speed of the fans to mimic a real-world breezes.The only drawback is the included ice-packs. They leaked and are not well made. Granted the manufacturer did send me new ones at no charge, but they barely lasted a week before leaking as well (when I say leaking I open my freezer and see the frozen liquid that is meant to be inside it, crystalized on top as it's broken through a seam). The ice-packs are needed if as they chill the water especially if you have the Cold option selected, but the machine would work perfectly without them albeit the water would just be at the normal temperature.Also, the included remote control doesn't have a very good range -- its probably perfect if you're near the machine but I have this on my back patio and from inside the house through a big pane window, the unit doesn't respond.If I could give this a 4.5/5 star rating I would. I feel bad putting 4 stars because of just the ice-pack issue (I found better quality ones on Amazon), but it didn't feel right leaving 5 stars either. Overall I'm happy with my purchase now that I have ice-packs that won't leak.

Outstanding! We live in Phoenix and do not ever want to use our AC due to insane costs! Ever WITH solar panels!This dude kicks out plenty of cool air to keep us comfortable. Added bonus is the relaxing sound of water trickling through the system! Very relaxing!It's portable and easy yo move on it's wheels. Eventually I think I will get another for the bedroom! Just because.We love the calming sound of the fan, but it's not that loud!Update: thank God we live in Phoenix! The humidity this beast produces is insane!

I purchased this as a used but like new item. It came in an Amazon box with no packaging . It was missing the manual drain plug and remote control. After finding a drain plug th3 7nit works very w3ll if I was rating the cooler it would get @ 5.Th3 reason for the one star is the lack of customer support. I thru Amazon wrote to the suppor5 in English the reply was in Spanish three further emails were ignored from the seller support.

Thus is an easy to set up cooler for the back patio or garage. It is easily programmable and hooks up to a garden hose to keep it full of water. After a year and a half I had a problem with it. The company was very responsive. They sent me a replacement part and now it is working like new again. But it is important to clean it out good at the end of the season. This size was just right for my covered back patio and porch. About 500 Sq. Ft. It easily lowers temp by 10 degrees or more.

Oh I recommend this Portable Swamp Cooler. I bought one 10 years ago to help cut prices and stay cool. This is priced well and does twice the job.I have it in the hallway and it cools the Both sides ofthe whole house there, I do keep the back bedroom doors closed on hot days until night time it is very easy to move around. I sometimes move it from one end of the house to the other no problem seeing where it's most effective. I can run it with just the fan and it works great.it came with ice packs you can freeze and reuse. My House stays about 82 Degrees.The Bigger Swamp cooler runs 105 Watts and the little one runs 70 Watts.So they have made big improvements.Amazon allowed 3 payments on this no credit approval. Very Happy
