Evaporative Cooler, VAGKRI 2100CFM Air Cooler, 120°Oscillation Swamp Cooler with Remote Control, 24H Timer, 3 Wind Speeds for Outdoor Indoor Use,8 Gallon

Works pretty good in my Sun city Arizona garage, not great when it's 110, but still make garage bareable, wish it had a lower speed than number one, fill it up every morning, goes through probably 6-8 gallons just normal use, off & on sitting in garage, some days it will take 12 gallons

The product is really quite. I purchased one to try out in my shop for my employees to see how they liked it. The unit definitely cools the air. In the humid southern climate (South of Atlanta) it did cool the air and was better than a fan blowing hot air, the cooler air did make a difference. Employee put an ice pack in the top of the unit and changed it out at lunch. Now speaking of the ice packs. They are worthless as far as quality goes. People in other reviews complained about it and I didn't think to much about it. However, after purchasing a total of 3 of these units within 3 days of each other every single ice pack for all three units has busted in the freezer after the 3rd or 4th time being froze. I am going to call the MFG and see what they say about it. I have other ice packs that I can use and will keep all 3 units.. But the reviews about the ice packs (they come with 2 each). (I got a total of 6 ice packs, and all but one has bust). all of them busted at different locations.

Good size unit and great thing is it holds 12 gallon of water on the base of unit. It also has two level lines transparent slots to see the water level. It does not have low level automatic turn off but does beep when water is low. Not that loud so sometimes you might not hear it. Unit is pretty light which has wheels to move around. Jeep in mind the cord is not as long. Unit also has 3 speed mode which does make a very big difference. The only downside fall I found is the ice pack tends to bulge out when frozen. And it doesn’t last long in the cool mode. Once I place the ice pack in the top bin it thaw out spend 30mins or so. And ice pack is really small for the compartment size. Overall does cool a decent amount in my back room around 700sqft. Overall decent machine and not to loud either.

I have to say that I am really disappointed in this product. According to most of the reviews I read, all were positive and mentioned how the evaporator cooler was cooling for them. I bought this product to replace a box fan I had in my garage for my two dogs that can come and go through a pet door. Summer is here and the garage is hot now and the fan wasn’t cutting it. So I ordered the evaporator cooler in hopes it would make the garage a little more cooler for my dogs, but it did not happen. The box fan that I replaced (which is going back in the garage ) blew more air and the air actually felt cooler. The ice blocks made no difference as well as I can judge. The product is well made, but doesn’t live up to the hype in my opinion. To me it is just a high priced fan and very disappointing performance. I will probably buy a small ac unit for the garage. If anything changes I will do an update, but it doesn’t look promising.

We recently moved into a house in the mountains of Colorado, and most homes up here do not have a/c, including our house.With the windows closed all day while at work, the temp was getting up to 75-77 during the later afternoon hours (outside temps have been about 80, but lots of direct sunlight on the front of the house and coming in through the upper windows).When we get home, we open the windows and have the unit a foot or so in front of one. Even with only filling the unit with cold well water, it works great. Haven't needed to try the freezer packs. Cools the living room/dining room/kitchen area down to 68 or so within 30-45 min. The oscillating function really helps to make it feel cooler in the area 10-15 feet out from the unit.On it's highest setting, it has about the same noise level as a regular box fan on high.After two weeks of use, I took the back cover off to clean down inside the tank (pretty easy to do with only four screws to remove). Even with us using well water in it, there was only a very light film to clean in the bottom of the tank.Super easy to roll the unit into the kitchen to fill from the sink sprayer.I would definitely recommend this unit. So far, it's been worth every penny.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. I live in the Arizona desert and have run this every day for about 2 weeks. So far this has done a rather nice job of keeping me cool outside on my patio at its lowest setting and without use of the ice packs. I do anticipate that as summer gets underway and temps hit 115 degrees, I'll be using a higher fan setting. Setup was easy, the ice packs are a really nice add on, and I love having a remote for this unit. The best part is that I can fill from the top or via an adapter, and the top has plenty of room to add ice cubes in addition to one of the 2 included ice packs. (Haven't tried that yet but sure to do so by July!) I had also bought a larger and more expensive name brand unit and this one seems to be far nicer.Given that we have very hard water, I purchased some demineralization strips to use. They are easy to add since water pumps through the top of the unit. My only concern is that because we have such hard water, we may need to replace the filters every year and I cannot figure out how we will order new filters. I do have an email out to the manufacturer with that question.My only complaint is that I paid about $40 more for this unit about 2 weeks ago than the deal that is currently running on it today. Wish I'd gotten the better price! Nonetheless, I'm keeping this jewel of a cooler.
