I enjoy the fact that it is portable so I can move it where it's needed most. I previously had a window unit that was in one end of the house, so the air didn't reach the far end where the bedrooms were. I also like the idea that I don't have to vent it out a window.

I bought this because of the on and off heatwaves in the PNW area, which apparently doesn't believe in A/C. My apartment gets up to 77 degrees with the window open and the ceiling fan on, which is extremely uncomfortable for my cat and I, so i looked into portable A/C units. This is not as effective as those would be, which I knew before purchasing, at least in the sense that my apartment can only go maybe 2 degrees lower with this fan blowing (evaporative on or off). I enjoy the humidity it creates with the evaporative option on, but if it's already too hot inside then it just feels muggy. If you sit in front of the fan you will want to grab a blanket pretty quickly (but if you step away from it, you feel smothered by hot, stagnant air..) It's okay for my 200 sq ft studio as long as the temperature outside is 70 or lower, which is not perfect for these heatwaves getting up to 98.. Other reviews said it could cool off a small room, but it depends on how hot it is to begin with and airflow, etc. I would recommend it for casual use, like to cool yourself off directly but not to cool down an entire room. Looking for another apartment with A/C now..

Thank you for sharing your opinion about the unit. Your review helps us improve our units and service. the unit is able to cool a room up down to 10°-30° once in the appropiate setting. The unit must be in an area that the Humidity level is lower than 40%, within a 250Sq ft or less, not more, and have a window or door open to improve air circulation. If these factors do not apply the unit will not cool at 100%. Also, this unit is not an A/C unit but an evaporative cooler.

Loved so much we got a 2nd!

We first acquired the smaller evaporative cooler unit and loved it so much we were wheeling it from room to room. We just got this one in a few weeks ago and it cools nearly my entire upstairs area! It’s been such a life savor living in the dry climate of the desert.
I would recommend this to a friend!
