        The advertised cooler is 4800 cfm but all the reviews except one is for the 6800 cfm model. Slightly misleading, don't you think? Where are the reviews for the 4800 cfm model?

                Arrived with broken parts
                Right out of the box, two parts are broken because of poor packaging from the manufacturer. The last one of these that I bought for another home had a cracked base, leaking water. Quality control, and packaging from this company is not good.

                    We apologize for any confusion regarding this evaporative cooler. This unit is designed as a high-velocity cooling fan and not a traditional air conditioner. It works best in open or well-ventilated spaces, as it adds humidity to the air. For enclosed areas, this can lead to a less effective cooling experience. Ensuring proper ventilation can help achieve better results.
                      Poor construction and customer service
                      I purchase two of the 4800 CFM models. Both of them arrived with broken or missing parts. I was only able to contact customer service through Home Depot. Hessaire has does not have live customer service that can respond promptly. The design on these coolers is lacking. I needed to fabricate a suitable adaptor that would fit the bottom of the units. In contrast, I installed a Bonaire wall unit that has superior construction. I should have gone with the Bonaire roof top unit. Avoid these units. They will not last as long as Champion units that are constructed with metal panels.

                        This roof mounted cooler is efficient enough to lower the temperature 15 to 20 degrees below the outdoor temperature while still running on low speed. I prefer the submersible pump to the traditional swamp cooler pump because it is quieter. Other reviews claiming this unit is noisy are accurate if compared to a traditional squirrel cage unit. IMO this system is more appropriately installed into existing ductwork instead of through a wall or rooftop opening which allows the fan noise to be heard directly from the unit. We received good customer service from HD and Hessaire as the shipping company damaged 2 units before we received the currently installed unit.

                        This is the second Hessaire evaportive cooler I've installed on two different homes. Both are fantastic. One did have a motor failure but Hessaire was quick to respond and shipped a new one by next business day. They are loud but that's because they have such high CFM packed in a wonderfully small package. Will be buying again for future customers needs.

                        There’s a lot of things I like about this cooler but one major thing I don’t. It’s so noisy. My tenant said that they couldn’t live in the house with this cooler so I ended up replacing it with a cooler with a squirrel Cage fan instead of the propeller type fan like this one has. The new cooler moves. The same amount of Air, but is far quieter

                        We picked up and installed it. We use it at night and it cools the house nice and we don’t have to use the central air as much as we did in the past. Has saved on our electric costs already so good investment

                        Easy to assemble but wiring was not the same as most coolers so that took time to figure out. Biggest issue is that with only a 3 blade fan the unit is very noisy setup as a direct down draft
