We loooove the evaporative cooler! It's easy to put together and works great. It's absolutely perfect for our hot, dry summers. Plus it can easily be wheeled from room to room. I only wish the directions were a bit more specific, because they didn't say what to do with this blue tube. But customer service was amazing and respondes quickly (you don't have to do anything really, it just goes in the water tank). I can't wait to see how much we save on air conditioning costs!

Air conditioners do not do well in very dry locations. Everyone around here uses swamp coolers. This unit is exactly what is needed in dry climates without spending a fortune on a wholehouse unit. It is portable and easy to move. It looks sleek and modern. It holds a lot of water so you don't have to refill it very often and is easy to fill. This is very energy efficient, which is great since I am on solar power so cannot run an air conditioner. You can feel the cool air from across the room. My dogs love laying in front of it. The fan is powerful but fairly quiet. It will cool a medium size room down pretty quickly. The air comes out about 3 feet off of the floor which is good because it clears the bed and blows right on you. A lot of other models are too short so you have to put the cooler on a table to blow on you while you are sleeping. Also, it comes with a handy remote so you don't have to get up to turn it on and off. Overall, I love this unit. It makes the house comfortable even in over 100 degree heat. @newairusa #newairusa

I live in a 3 bedroom apartment that does not have the best AC unit. I wanted something to give it a boost in the kitchen and dining area because I cook often. What I love about this air cooler and fan is that I can move it from room to room where it's needed the most. At night, I roll it to my bedroon. I live alone so I really only need to keep one bedroom cool. This air cooler lasts and lasts water wise. I can fill it up and not need water for a long time. I do add the water coolers to mine as well as ice to make it cooler. It works perfectly and I'm 100 % satisfied with my new Frigidaire Air Cooler and Fan.

No air conditioning no problem. This portable unit goes with you from room to room to provide total cooling comfort. It's super quiet and cools down a hot garage in no time flat. ⠀

You should get one if you live in a dry area.

I bought this unit [ Frigidaire ] to help with the Newair 14000 BTU AC/ heater to cool down a custom travel trailer made from a 24 cargo trailer. I just figure if the Newair 14000 BTU AC use water to help cool the AC. The evaporative cooler would help in this very dry area of Nevada. Boy what huge difference it made. I'm very happy I did, it works beautifully as a team between those two. I run both at the same time. So far in hot days of 109 thur 104 I can get the trailer down to 75 degrees with no problem. It takes about 35 min to do so.

Ok, so here's the thing. It's a mixed bag. I absolutely LOVE the fan portion. Strong directed breeze with different settings that give you options. I love that. But I'm disappointed in the evaporative cooler part. Maybe it's too humid where I am in SoCal, but I didn't really notice much cooling. The cooler felt like a slightly cooler version of the fan, so on a hot day, it didn't do much more than create a warm, moist breeze. One of the catches is that you have to put ice packs into the water for it to cool. So not only do you have to make sure that the ice packs are frozen, but there's no real smooth way to get them in and out of the water tank. So you have to take the cooler/fan top off and put them in/take them out. Water tends to collect in the fan back when you use the evap, so you end up getting water all over the place when you move the top off. I think this would work very well for someone that wants to add a little extra cooling, or as an addition to an AC unit. But on it's own, I'm not overly impressed. Also, it is quite big. So make sure you are using it in a room with some space (like it mentions, its good up to 450 sq ft, so use it for a bigger space and you'll be fine). In my tiny little area, it take up quite a bit of room. I would recommend it, absolutely, but this was my experience.

Beating the heat on Oahu, Hawaii - it works!!!

My shopping experience was great. I had a couple questions for the support team, and they were happy to answer and help me. My evap coolers arrived two weeks after purchase, which I do believe is more than fair. I didn't pay extra for fast shipping, we're in the middle of covid-19, and they were shipped all the way to Hawaii. I was pleased with the turnaround with all that in mind. On to the actual evap coolers. I can not express how much I love these. I live in an old style Hawaiian home. There's absolutely no insulation (it's like two panel walls and that's it). I also do not have glass on most of my windows (they're just big screens). Between the cost of electricity here and the installation of windows and insulation, I decided to take a chance on evap coolers and it's paying off. Where I live the humidity usually sits in the mid 50 to high 60% range. We have more humidity in the winter, but less need for evap cooler during those months. Last summer I ran so many fans and still just sweated all summer long. It was rough. Three of my fans just broke during stay at home orders (which led me here). My evap coolers showed up today and as soon as they did I filled them and started running one in the living area. It's been running for about six hours now, using less water than I thought it would, and my house feels AMAZING. I'm not covered in sweat. My dogs aren't panting. I don't even have my other fans running, just the one cooler in the living area (the other is in the bedroom and I haven't run it yet). I call 3PM-6PM the "sauna hour" in my home because that's when the sun really beats down and it's miserable. This afternoon I ran the evap cooler and it was so comfortable in here. I know it's a long review, but I when I was looking I couldn't find any reviews at all from people who live in Hawaii, and I want to pass on that it works so well here! I probably went overboard and could have gotten ones with a smaller water tank, but I'm still very happy overall.

Its alright, still not what I was looking for, it doesn't cool down any of the rooms in our home at all, not even a couple of degrees. We put ice in it and cold cold water in the tank and it still blows out some what cold water and doesn't put out enough air to even cool one room in our house. its good if you just want a fan that blows cold air, but it doesn't cool anything down.

Hi, We are sorry to hear the issue you are experiencing with the unit. There are some factors that can cause the unit not to cool effectively such as the humidity. If the humidity level is above 40% the unit will not cool.
