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

i live in a very hot area and this works great in my large living room. even when i dont fill the water it cools the room off. my electric bill hasnt been that bad either from it. the only thing is draining it in the winter. i didnt do tht - hard since i had a stroke but i wanted to share it has been great.

Very easy to set up. It’s a right out of the box plug and play. It holds 6 gallons of water and you fill it manually by opening the top fold open door and pour the water into the small square chamber and is has a drainage hole covered by a black circle, don’t remove the black cover water will drain, since it is raised off the bottom. Make sure you level it so the water drains evenly to all filters. Leave it on low speed until all pads get saturated. We use it in North Texas on our back deck and it is 93 degrees and fells like 100 with the humidity and with this machine going on low it feels like 80 for my wife and me.

Good little swamp cooler works as expected to work, seems to put out the CFM it claims. seen negative reviews about this and others if you are new to swamp coolers these work by pulling air across water-soaked pads; The best i ever seen a swamp cooler do is 20 degrees lower than outside temp.These will add water to the air to help cooling these do not work in high humid areas because of this. recommend using the hose option as fast as possible as it keeps the water level lower, and sense these cool the water with how they work and then store a few gallons of water the lower the water level the better as these is less water warming up while sitting and the hose will trickle water as needed versus adding gallons at a time.DO NOT EXPECT AIR CONDITIONING RESULTS FROM A SWAMP COOLER

This does not cool at all. It is basically like just having a high powered fan. When your house is hot & the A/C isn’t working, it just blows hot air. I have a high powered fan, and there is zero difference except I have to keep adding water to this & it doesn’t make a difference. The “ice packs” are warm the second you take them out of the freezer. My normal ice packs stay much colder than the ones that come with this so-called “cooler”.

I figured I'd wait a few days to publish a review when I got to use all of the features. Really good swamp cooler. I use it in our main area (living room, dining room, kitchen) it's not hooked up to a continuous feed. Comes with 2 ice packs. I bought another 4 pack just in case. Works great! Definitely works better with ice pack. Thinking about another one for the other side of the house.

My husband has a 25 year old, 1500 CFM, box fan style portable evaporative cooler that is actually a tad more efficient than this evaporative cooler. (His hypothesis: the honeycomb pad style in this cooler vs. the traditional wood excelsior pad he uses in his old box unit is not as efficent. (Over the years, he has tried them all and those inexpensive wood excelsior pads win every time.)Nevertheless, he thinks this unit is not all that bad with regards to evaporative cooler function. It was only a two degree output difference ( Both coolers were tested at the same time, using the same water temperature, on the same day, on high fan.)That being said; the problem for us with this cooler is not it's evaporative cooling efficiency, it is the fill valve and the hose connection port / tank wall.Because the tank wall appears to be quite thin / un-reinforced where the fill valve port is, thus resulting in excessive flex / stress to the plastic tank wall, my husband is very leary about moving the unit while the hose is attached. As it is, to alleviate nearly ten degrees of flex, my husband uses a short 2x4 post to support the hose fitting end when the unit is stationary.Above and beyond that, once my husband ultimately got the supplied hose adapter fitting to stop leaking, by using his own hose bib washers, he came to find that the fill valve had stopped functioning properly. (Overfilling — not good!)At that point my husband wanted to send the unit back for a refund. But seeing how he discarded the original box, that of which is apparently required for return, we are apparently stuck with this cooler.I have know clue as to when, or where he is going to find that time, but he assures me that when he has time he will remedy the issues with the cooler.Until then, it's a manual fill only.Go figure, my husband's main attraction to this cooler was the hose connection/ auto shut off fill valve features.Oh, and lest I forget, it really would have been nice to have had some AAA batteries sent with the remote control.Room for improvement!Update!My husband has remedied the issue with the fill valve. Apparently, when he was attempting to get the hose bib fitting to stop leaking, the plastic float valve / pipe nipple rotated 180 degrees.In addition; seeing how the plastic tank wall is rather thin, and is not reinforced where the pipe nipple attaches to the hose adapter, my husband has switched out our HD hose for one of those light weight flex hoses.Besides that; It would be nice for more than one drain plug to be provided with the unit. The small rubber plug is not attached to the cooler. So, if that little thing happens to slip out of your hand and bounce it self into the bushes, well, I think you get the picture. Luckily we found ours!As for the remote control, well, after having rounded up some AAA batteries, the remote control feature does function and operate as it should.With in a few short days of having posted the initial review, the organization reached out to me. My first impression is that this organization truly cares about customer satisfaction. That in itself is worth a star, so I have increased the overall rating for this product to three stars.Only time will tell if this product is worthy of additional stars, as long term product durability and enduring commitment to customer satisfaction have yet to be determined.At this point, my husband and I both agree that the product could use some small but very beneficial improvements.As for my husband wanting to return the cooler, well, now, other than wishing he had purchased the cooler for ten cents on the dollar, which is pretty much what he wishes he could do on every purchase he makes, my husband says that he has NO BUYERS REMORSE.As a matter of fact, he has been hinting at purchasing another one; for the right price of course, which of course is totally subjective, but is still, nevertheless, in his world, a subjective value of there about sixteen dollars—keep dreaming honey!

Works really well. I've had it for a couple of summers and ir really makes a difference in my hot garage.

We live in Arizona. We bought this for our feral cats that live outside. It has gotten up to 118° Fahrenheit so far this year. Many days it's 110° plus here. The cats were in distress. We have kept this on almost 24 hours a day, outside!! They absolutely love it and spend most of the day, under our patio, in front of this cooler. It helps to go out once or twice a day to splash water over the edge on the pads. We put ice in the little top area, where you can also put an ice pack. It did come with 2 ice packs however they leaked pretty quickly after we received it. I still give it 5 stars for the comfort it has given the two feral cats!! The one tabby will go out to eat food under our gazebo but runs right back to the cooler. Highly recommend this cooler.
