The Newair 2-in-1 Evaporative Cooler (Swamp Cooler) and Fan is an efficient air conditioning alternative for arid climates. Add water to the oversized 21-quart tank to use it as an evaporative cooler, or use the oscillating fan alone to quickly cool up to 300 square feet of living space. This evaporative cooler packs a punch with a 1000-CFM fan that cools every corner of a medium-sized room.

First of all, I live in California, a dry climate, so any problems were not due to living in an area of high humidity. Swamp coolers perform poorly in areas with high humidity.
Right out of the box, mode/speed two didn't work. I called and asked if this was some kind of default because the padding needed time to become saturated with water. She said yes, and that once it was saturated, mode/speed two would work. It never did, even after 24 hours of use.
The air never became cool. Yes, it was on cool mode. Yes, the water pump was working. Yes, the air was blowing out of it (on speeds 1 and 3 -- speed 2 never worked). All it did was blow tepid, humid air, filling up the place with stifling humidity and heat -- the opposite of what I wanted when I purchased a COOLING UNIT.
I tried to message them to ask for help -- I was ignored.
It is now on the UPS truck, going back for a refund.
