Much more effective in semi-arid or desert climates

Make sure you understand how evaporative cooling compares to air conditioning. It works well on the dry easter slope of the Rocky Mountains. The air flow covers the large living room well. Wheels make it easy to move the cooler around the room. There is enough water in the tank for a whole evening without refilling. Remember the basic physical principles of refrigeration. In the best case, an evaporative cooler lowers the room temperature by 15-20 degrees. Usually it's closer to 10 degrees…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Paying for yourself - heating, cooling and air quality

I live in Phoenix and cooling my home with air conditioning in the summer can cost over $500 a month. I have a usage schedule based on time, so I turn off the air conditioning in the afternoons when electricity is at its most expensive. For the past few years, I've simply suffered in a house that was getting warmer by the minute. The cooler is by no means a substitute as it only cools one room, not the whole house, and it doesn't get that cold. But according to my measurements, the exiting air…

Bulky and noisy but offers some cooling

The cooling capacity of this device is quite poor. With ice in the upper compartment, the supply air temperature is approximately 72F. So if, like me, you have a sunny and hot 83-85 degree room that you need to cool down to around 80 degrees, the Honeywell Portable Indoor Evaporative Cooler will do just that. It takes about an hour and a half to lower the temperature by 3-4 degrees at maximum speed. I bought this cool box as an additional device to lower the temperature by 3-5 degrees in a hot…

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • High price

It actually works very well. I've had it for maybe a few weeks and so far it seems to be doing its job well. However, you really need to understand how to work with it properly to get the best results. Here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. It works best when the humidity is low, but when it works, it gradually increases the humidity in the room.2. It doesn't cool the room like an air conditioner, but if you have ice around it will cool like an air conditioner as long as it's using the ice…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Minor problems
