VAGKRI 35" Evaporative Air Cooler, 2800CFM Swamp Cooler, 120°Oscillation Air Cooler with Remote Control, 24H Timer, 3 Modes & Wind Speeds for Outdoor Indoor Use, 9.2Gallon

Really happy with this. Have a giant back yard tent and it gets HOT in there. Bay Area California has low humidity so it works perfect here. 95 degrees out and I can keep the 120sq ft tent at ~76 easily (output at unit is 67-68 degrees). 90 or below and the tent stays 72-73 degrees. Build quality of this evap cooler is really nice. Well thought out design. Controls work great, the swing function is nice to cover a large area with cold air. I also appreciate how quiet the unit is even at high speed. The automatic fill with garden hose is great to keep it going all day, week, month long.From opening the unit up, it is nice to see that it should be servicable in future in case you need to replace the evap pads, pump, etc. I also want to point out I had a little issue when mine arrived and support immediately helped me out and got me the part needed to fix. Great to know they have good customer service!Couple tips for those new to evap coolers:If you live in high humidity, this may not work well for you. But if low humidy, you'll be loving the cool refreshing air.I tend to find that evap coolers work better right in front of a window sucking in hot dry air. Make sure you have something open on the other side to allow ventilation.Ice isn't needed. I never notice any difference with ice. Once it runs for a while, the water becomes super cold anyways. You may need to run for ~30 min for it to get maximum cooling.I also recommend using a calcium filter on a hose to prevent build up.You will be very happy with this unit.

I recently received the portable swamp cooler and tested it for the first night. My rooftop swamp cooler is insufficient to cool the bedrooms, so I purchased this portable unit and positioned it to face both bedrooms. It made a significant difference in cooling both rooms, even without using the included ice packs. I am pleased with its performance and have been sleeping better at night, especially during the recent heatwave with temperatures reaching 115 degrees Fahrenheit.It's not heavy love the wheels pre-installed. Not to big so easy to move. The fan is not to loud and is quieter than my whole house swamp cooler.Overall Great buy!

First off, I want to say I'm extremely happy with the unit itself. It works as advertised. I upgraded to this one having a smaller unit - and what drew me in was the ability to fill the 9.2 gallon tank via a hose connection vs. slowly filling from the top which is the only way I could fill the other one I had. There are 3 fan levels, a cold on/off, a natural wind feature which varies the speed of the fans to mimic a real-world breezes.The only drawback is the included ice-packs. They leaked and are not well made. Granted the manufacturer did send me new ones at no charge, but they barely lasted a week before leaking as well (when I say leaking I open my freezer and see the frozen liquid that is meant to be inside it, crystalized on top as it's broken through a seam). The ice-packs are needed if as they chill the water especially if you have the Cold option selected, but the machine would work perfectly without them albeit the water would just be at the normal temperature.Also, the included remote control doesn't have a very good range -- its probably perfect if you're near the machine but I have this on my back patio and from inside the house through a big pane window, the unit doesn't respond.If I could give this a 4.5/5 star rating I would. I feel bad putting 4 stars because of just the ice-pack issue (I found better quality ones on Amazon), but it didn't feel right leaving 5 stars either. Overall I'm happy with my purchase now that I have ice-packs that won't leak.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had these evaporative cooler for a little bit now and i have to say I’m impressed with how much air it can move. I’ve been using it to help move air and add humidity into my plant room and I have it turned towards my office for a little extra airflow. For reference, I’m Phoenix where’s its hot and really dry. The cooler has a lot of great features such as the pump turning off on its own when the water level gets too low. Which is one thing I found a little strange, there’s typically still almost half a gallon or so but the pump turns off. The cooler also has fins that can rotate left to right to help move air around the room. The casters make it really easy to take over to my shower when I need to empty the leftover water. It’s generally not very loud for what it’s doing. The dripping sound of the water can be a little annoying but tolerable. Overall I’m happy with my purchase so far, will update if anything changes on the unit.

I purchased this as a used but like new item. It came in an Amazon box with no packaging . It was missing the manual drain plug and remote control. After finding a drain plug th3 7nit works very w3ll if I was rating the cooler it would get @ 5.Th3 reason for the one star is the lack of customer support. I thru Amazon wrote to the suppor5 in English the reply was in Spanish three further emails were ignored from the seller support.

I bought this in July when my A/C went out and it was hot as hades. I put the ice blocks in it and it bliws really cold air. It has a large water container but you have to keep an eye on the water level. That’s not a big deal.Once I got my new A/C unit I still use in my kitchen to keep it cooler when cooking (my kitchen is hot) the nice thing is that you can use it without ice to circulate the already cold air.The ONLY draw back is the size. However, it is on wheels and can very easily be rolled into a closet and out of the way when not in use. I roll mine into my laundry room.I really love this air cooler it was a life saver while I was waiting for my new A/C to be installed.
