More hot air than a hot air balloon

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought two of these units and was very hopeful they would do the job and cool down the garage. They are barely better than a traditional box fan. They take up more room and might drop the temp a couple degrees. Wish I hadn’t purchased.

Good Swamp Cooler

I bought the 500 for when im outside in the hot arizona summers. Using it i see its really good and I like the app control. Only complaint is the price point. You can find something that does the exact same thing for half the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We use this on the back porch during the summer, and it kept it so cool that we spent twice as much time outside than we normally do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always wanted a portacool and finally made the investment. The app is great and lets you control the whole system without having to get up.

Portable and easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my cooler on jobsites during the week and in my backyard on the weekends. It is both easy to transport and setup. The app gives you extra control options to really dial in the cooling effectiveness. The built in water reservoir is helpful when there is not a hose accessible at a jobsite.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best investment ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased two of these and has changed my summers hanging outside! They blow cool air and keep the temperature in our patio comfortable to be able to hang outside with friends and family. Well worth the money spent.

Cooling lasts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our favorite thing is the scheduling aspect of it. It works really well at cooling our motor room down. The water lasts very long as well! We are very pleased with this portacool.
I would recommend this to a friend!
