Description of 🌬️ Hessaire MC18M Portable Evaporative Cooler: 1300 CFM, Cools 500 Sq Ft (Color May Vary)

EVAPORATIVE COOLING: HESSAIRE’s evaporative cooling fans are designed to pull hot, dry air through a water-soaked filter using a fan to decrease the ambient temperature. * It DOES NOT use refrigerants to remove heat like an air conditioner. INCREASE HUMIDITY IN DRY CLIMATES: The MC18M evaporative cooling fan is optimal when used in hot, dry climates to filter ambient air while increasing the moisture and delivering 1,300 CFM of cool airflow. *Not effective in high humidity areas. ENERGY EFFICENT & ECO FRIENDLY: Evaporative cooling fans save up to 50% on electricity compared to refrigerated air conditioning systems. Using water instead of refrigerant prevents any release of ozone depleting chemicals into the air. MANUAL & CONTINUOUS WATER FILL: Hessaire’s MC18M has a 4.8-gallon water tank creating up to 3-4 hours of use. The built-in float valve and garden hose adapter allow for easy connection and contiguous water flow without overflowing your tank. EASY TO OPERATE & SIMPLE TO MAINTAIN: Fill tank, connect power, prime pump, place unit in a well-ventilated area, flip the switch, and you're all set. Before storing, run for 30 minutes on fan to dry the filter, to prevent future mildew. To minimize noise and vibration, the air conditioner should be placed on a firm floor. AVAILABLE IN 3 COLORS – Grey (MC18M), Teal (MC18MT) and Green (MC18V).

ice cream ice cream! good for heating, cooling and air quality

This product will work as long as you have the following things: - You must add ice. At least 2 pet bowls - The unit must be behind a window - There must be good air circulation on the other side of the room. If all the water doesn't evaporate and you don't give it off, it will smell bad. It is not entirely clear how to clean it. I really like that it has wheels and is very powerful for a small space. It will produce cold air as long as there is ice.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Update Availability

Solid state evaporative cooler albeit very noisy as mentioned by others. It doesn't bother me personally. However, the water pump failed after 4 months, so I'm not so sure about the reliability. Warranty and customer support are entirely fictitious, meaning they don't exist. I have emailed a pump replacement warranty request more than half a dozen times and have received no response. Your online system is unable to track or keep track of your previously submitted requests.

  • GOLS certified

Comfortable in hot and dry air

We had 2 of these and used them constantly during 1 season of the singer. We're in Northern California so we have dry heat. We live on a lake, so we have more humidity than other parts of California, but overall the heat is dry (critical for evaporative cooling efficiency). We used them in 2 different rooms, both almost 400 m². foot, and there were no ceiling fans in any of the rooms. These coolers worked great! When operating in super cool mode (fan + water), you need to fill up the tank…

  • Delivery was very fast

So cool in Sun Cal UPDATE

I've read a lot of conflicting reviews on here but most were very happy with their cooler so I went with it. Just got my new cooler, I was surprised how easy it was to install, it wasn't difficult for me to install the wheels or open the door to fill it, easy to move from room to room btw , I am a 60 year old woman. My big problem was where to put it. So far I am impressed with how quiet the unit is and how quickly it has cooled my huge living room. The only downside so far is that the settings

Great for cooling small spaces in summer

Last summer I used this unit as extra cooling for my bedroom. My central air conditioner is about 20 years old and just doesn't cool my apartment well enough on the hottest days. This little device worked great as a secondary source of cooling and I brought it to every room I was in. As an added benefit, it returned some moisture to the air, which helped with the Colorado drought. The water tank door was big enough to put ice cubes in, so I used to put a whole bag of ice in the tank and then…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • I'll write back

Strong cooling, difficult to clean

Simple design and performance. Think of it as a really big case fan with a water reservoir and a pump pushing water into the cooling grille. It's quite big and not very pretty. But it cools a large room better than prettier models. In comparison, my friend has one that looks like a spaceship tower and barely works. My house has two bedrooms and a hallway upstairs with good cross ventilation through windows and patio doors and if everything is installed properly I can keep it cool even in the 35

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Repair

The thing works great!

This thing works great! Yes, the plastic is a bit flimsy as other reviewers have said. So what?! It sits there and works way better than I expected. I work in a shop with no air conditioning and no insulation. Usually from June to September it is more than 100 degrees. We are currently at or above 100 degrees for over 30 consecutive days. Right now it's 100 degrees as I type this. I put this fridge under the table facing me and it keeps my legs nice and cool down to my arms and neck. My feet…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • The list will be long.

It's just an evaporative cooler

Cannot compete with an evaporative cooler in this class in terms of price/performance ratio. Bought a pair to keep my bedrooms, garage and computer rig cool. This is a major improvement for an air-cooled open rig. MC18 is too small for my living room. For this I need a 3-5k CFM model (e.g. MC61). It's lightweight (portable) despite its size, made entirely of plastic so it won't rust in the moisture it generates, and there are spares for it if something goes wrong. , and it's an…

and FAR is the best. Full Disclosure - I only owned it for .

I didn't buy this through Revain but since no one commented on here I went with it. This is my fourth swamp cooler since 1995 and by far the best. Full Disclosure - I've only owned it for a day. The last unit was the Arctic Cove 350. It leaked after a year of use, sucked air through the flow control valve around the same time and died after three years so it was time for a replacement. I have used a few Arctic Cove 500 and 700 models in my work - I used to think I might upgrade but I will never
