BREEZEWELL 2-in-1 Evaporative Air Cooler, Cooling Fan, Swamp Cooler

I've been using this for a little over a week here in LA, and have been quite happy with the unit's performance. It's footprint is pretty small considering the unit goes up to my waist. Even so it is light enough to move around with one hand, even with the tank full of water (although be careful so that you don't spill any on accident). Like with all evaporative coolers, its effectiveness will depend on your environment's humidity. Using my indoor thermometer, the unit when on can cool the room by about 1°, but can also increase the humidity by about 7% over the course of a few hours. However if you sit right in front of it, it is a very nice cooling breeze. In other words, this is really a personal cooling device as opposed to an AC that cools the entire room down. The fan direction is also adjustable both up and down and left and right, and the sleep timer works well as well. The only surprise was that, depending on the water level and how much the water pump is working, you may hear water droplet sounds within the machine (similar to those zen garden water fountains). Overall the unit is quiet but just know that it's not just fan sounds that you will hear. If you're in a relatively dry environment, this is a great and easy to operate unit!

I've had this cooler working in my home office now for about six weeks now. It's a nice looking unit, quieter than most other evaporative coolers I've had, and gets the job done. I live in a desert environment and my home office window faces the southern sun, which means that when I close the door to take a phone call, it can get stifling hot even when the home A/C is on. This little unit lowers the temperature in the room noticeably and with very little background noise. Even when I am using the computer speakers and microphone (like a speakerphone) I have never had any issues with too much noise from the cooler. Overall, really, really good. Something that I've found I like that isn't obvious is that the fan design on this actually disperses the cool air more than a tower fan design. This means that if the fan is right in front of you you don't get dry eyes from the fan blowing at you, but the room is still cool. And the motion of the swing feature is extremely subtle but works incredibly well. One items that I would love to be a bit better is the water filling process. For one, like other reviewers have noted, filling the water reservoir from the back of the unit makes for a sleek front of the unit, but it also means that you are potentially moving the unit around in order to get to the reservoir in the back. Additionally, there is no fill line in the reservoir itself and seeing the level through the peek thru window in front usually means you don't know it's over-full until you already over filled it. But hey - one or two times and you get to figure out how full to fill it, so this is a minor annoyance when the unit is still new. Overall, a really great room cooler for the price and it looks different than anything you have ever had.

I have used this product for several months now. It does cool you off in a chair but it is not the same as an air conditioner or a swamp cooler. I have not noticed that it brings the temperature down much in any of my rooms. It does increase the humidity which can make a room seem hotter than it is. I do like how quiet it is and the features of changing the speed and direction of the concealed and safe fan. I like the timer settings. I rarely use it just as a fan. It sits up off the ground, is compact, lightweight and well designed. It is easy to move and easy to use. The air is just cool not cold when you use the ice block in the water basin. I use this unit when the temperature exceeds 80 degrees in the house. I don't find it convenient to use the remote because there are no LED indications as to what is being adjusted when using it except noticing the fan speed change or the power going on or off. The bright blue LED lights on the main unit control panel make it very difficult for me to see the description of what I am adjusting. They blind my vision from seeing text descriptions next to it. We should have invested in a swamp cooler.

We converted our garage into a play/hangout room and realized, because there is no insulation, it gets extremely hot with limited airflow from the AC inside the house. We purchased this cooler specifically for this reason and we have loved every minute of it. With record temperatures this summer it has been a lifesaver. We have been using this unit for several hours at a time and the only thing we really need to do with it is to add the ice packs that come with it and ice cubes to the water to help with the cooling during the extreme heat. The fan is not very noisy at all and it is actually very quiet when we have the TV on watching movies or sports. There is one quirk with it which is not a big deal, but when we are sitting on the couch watching a movie and we put the fan in front of us it shoots the air slightly over our head from straight on. I have found a fix that requires me putting a piece of cardboard (see attached pictures) hanging over the top which causes the air to blow perfectly on us. There is a setting that allows the fan to oscillate left and right but nothing to have it oscillate up and down. This is a small price to pay for the excellent cooling it provides. For cooling off a room I highly recommend this product.
