## Description

Evaporative cooling fan is designed to draw hot and dry air through dipped media filter using a water pump and fan. When water evaporates into the air, the air temperature will be reduced. When used in a high temperature dry climate, it will filter the surrounding air, increase condensation and provide cool air flow. Vaporization cooling fan uses refrigerant to eliminate heat like air conditioners, so it is less effective in humid areas. The Hessaire MC18M Cooling Fan is the most versatile portable evaporative cooling fan on the market and provides 1,300 CFM cold air to cover open space up to 500 square feet. The MC18M cooling fan has a 4.8 gallon water tank that lasts up to 3-4 hours. The built-in float valve and garden hose adapter allow for easy connection and continuous water flow without overflowing. This unit has 5 setting motor speed dials: HI and LOW two fan modes (pump on), 2 fan dedicated modes HI and LOW speed (pump off). High efficiency 0.7A motor works on 115V powered vehicles and is suitable for tailgating, camping, pool parties and other outdoor events. Assembly required Main operating point: cooling fan must be placed in front of an open window or door for effective operation. Always make sure there is a separate window or door that allows air to escape from inside the room. At the end of the day, simply move the cooler with the fan for 30 minutes and let the filter dry. Before you clean the cooler in winter, make sure to drain out the tank and wipe clean. b. Clean the filter c. To dry the filter, please reassemble the fan and move it for 30 minutes.

Review: I barely ever write reviews on here, but am writing this one in case it helps someone. I used this evaporative cooler last summer during a long heatwave in southern Alberta and it made the hot evenings more bearable. Listen, an AC unit will get your room cooler than this, but it also zaps any humidity from the air in the process, draws more power, is less environmentally friendly, and frankly sitting in a heavily air conditioned environment makes me feel a bit weird after awhile. With this unit we were able to get our bedroom three, sometimes even four degrees cooler than the rest of the house. Here’s what we did that was so effective: -place the unit in front of an open window so that it’s drawing air in from there and blowing it into the room -leave the room door open and if possible have a window on the opposite side of the house open to create a cross-current -run the unit an hour or preferable two or three before you want to go to bed to cool the room, then switch the device to fan mode overnight because the tank doesn’t hold enough water to run for more than four hours or so at a time You definitely want to live in a dry climate to use this, you’ll appreciate having that extra humidity. You also want to make sure you have that good airflow I mentioned earlier to really cool things down effectively.
Review: Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've only owned this for a few hours, and I feel compelled to leave a positive review. Most of the negative reviews here seem to be from folks who weren't 100% certain what swamp cooler is or how it works. I can understand their disappointment. The reality is, I've spent a lot of time wondering how it could possibly be so difficult to make a product that blew a fan through a moist filter to cool the air. I made home made versions when I was a kid, though I was probably risking electrocution. A swamp cooler will not work in a humid climate. An "portable" swamp cooler like this one that doesn't vent will also have limited functionality indoors even in a well vented area unless you're in a large room. I live in Phoenix, and I have a very good air conditioner in my home. The room where I spend most of my time usually has at least one computer and sometimes as many as three computers running. It gets warm in there, and I don't feel like cooling the whole house just to keep that one room comfortable. Since I only need a couple of degees, I figured I would give the ol' swamp cooler a try. My first purchase was one of those tiny desktop ones, and it didn't do anything except spray water in my face. My second attempt was a larger, floor-sized model. Since the price goes up pretty quickly, I decided to go with a budget option that was on sale. It leaked out of the box and made a massive mess, but for the brief moment that it was running, it did make a noticeable difference in the room temp. I didn't want to deal with that kind of mess again, so my third option was this Hessaire model. After talking with a couple of HVAC guys, it seems to be a consensus that Hessaire makes the best evaporative coolers. I read through a couple dozen of the negative reviews, as there area lot of them on here. Most of them were from folks who were purchasing this item for conditions where it would not function optimally. As I said before, I totally get that frustration. The room I need to cool isn't very large, and that's my biggest complaint with this item. It's too big for the room I want to cool. It works too well, and I'll explain why in a bit. I'm looking to cool a room that is less than 200 square feet by a couple of degrees. I had realistic expectations going in. I knew that I didn't have any place to legitimately vent this, but the other unit did just well enough to convince me that this would work since I only needed a couple of degrees out of it. My one window in this room faces the sun during the time of day I need to use it the most (part of the reason why it gets so warm), so I didn't figure a swamp cooler would be able to keep up with that kind of direct radiant heat in June/July when the sun is most direct. I did try it, and it was no good. I experimented with a few different placements, and the one that works best is to have it near the doorway with a second fan blowout out over the top of it. When I first turned it on, the room had a relative humidity of 22% and an ambient air temp of 82 degrees. Earlier, I mentioned that it worked too weel. On my first attempt, I ran it for five minutes on "high". The air coming out of the front at that humidity was 71 degrees. Within five minutes, it had cooled the ambient room temp to 78 degrees. The problem was that it also increased the relative humidity to 65%. At 65% relative humidity, the air coming out of the front was the same 78 degrees as the ambient room temp. So I know not to use the "high" setting. I had to let the room air out a bit before trying it again. On the second attempt, the relative humidity had gotten down to 40%. I ran it on "low" for about five minutes. It didn't have the same dramatic effect. At 40% humidity, the air coming out of the front was 76 degrees. After five minutes, the relative humidity had only increased to 50%, and the ambient air temp had only degreased to 80. But that was actually comfortable for me with the fan blowing in my direction. So then I turned it to "fan only", and it continued to blow cool air for a good 30 minutes. The room remained comfortable for the remainder of the day. I can't wait to see how it performs tomorrow when I have it turned off all night and the relative humidity drops back into the 20s. The reality, though, is that monsoon is just around the corner, and once monsoon hits, I'll typically be starting with 40% to 50% humidity. There are some negatives. It seems that everyone likes to make these types of units with tanks that are hard to fill. I have a large humidifier as well, and those tanks are removable. A removable tank would make this thing awesome. As it is, it's easier to fill than the last one I bought. It has a side door to pour in water. I use a bucket and a funnel, but since I don't have a bucket anywhere near that large, it takes 3-4 buckets to fill it. It looks like I'll only have to fill it every 3-4 days, though. It is bulky. I really do wish they had a smaller size. The dripping water is actually really loud. It's much louder than the fan. I would definitely not leave this unattended. I also like the fact that there is no remote control. Why does everything need to come with a remote control? As long as you have a good understanding of what a portable swamp cooler is and know that you need one, this is probably the best one you're going to find. Of course, Hessaire makes larger models. Much, much larger models. But given the fact that this one is too big for my room, I would only buy one of the larger models if you have a very large area to cool. Or if you're going to use it outdoors.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much water does it take?.....Can you add  ice?....what happens if you fall asleep and it runs out of water,will the pump be damaged?**
A: The unit takes about 4 gallons of water.  Yes, I have added ice to the water chamber.  There is not an automatic shutoff so I am quite sure you would burn up the pump if you let it run dry.  Also, you need to run the unit on fan only for at least 1/2 hour after usage to dry the membrane.  Others have complained of their water smelling, but I’m sure it was the membrane from not being properly dried after use.  I have mine plugged into a timer so that when I’m finished with it and turn it to fan only, it shuts off automatically after 1/2 hour.

**Q: How do you install the casters? Past the tip there’s is a ring that prevents me from inserting them completely. What am I missing?**
A: Place the wheels with the "brake" in the front of the unit. Tap with cloth-covered hammer or rubber mallet to set them into place. Hope that helps!

**Q: How to open water door? The tab to pull on is too narrow to grasp.**
A: You don't grasp the tab you push down on it with your thumb. The door will rotate out.

**Q: How long will it run before the water runs out?**
A: It depends a bit on the humidity, the lower the humidity in the air you are pulling in the faster water can evaporate. On hot dry 20ish % humidity days  with the fan on high I get about 4 hours before the water level reaches the bottom of the water level window (but after this point it has maybe a gallon left in it, I assume to protect the pump from running dry). With the fan on the low setting it will run overnight (7-8 hours) without running out of water.

Primero déjame empezar dejando algo claro: esto no es un aire acondicionado. Este es un enfriador de aire. ¿Cuál es la diferencia? Un aire acondicionado normalmente tiene un respiradero para aspirar el aire caliente y reemplazarlo con aire frío. Cuando usas un aire acondicionado, cierras la habitación y tienes una habitación muy fría. Con esta unidad, que es un enfriador de aire, obtendrás una sunana si cierras todas las ventanas y puertas. Con esta unidad es necesario dejar una puerta o ventana abierta para que circule el aire. Esta unidad se utiliza al aire libre. Como un garaje o un patio. Esta unidad enfría el aire a mi alrededor. Es como un ventilador, pero con aire frío. Coloco la unidad junto a una ventana abierta o junto a una puerta abierta y hace un gran trabajo al enfriar la habitación. También funciona muy bien en el patio.
