          Does this unit come with a tunnel and controls for window mount? I am looking to replace a champion 5000cfm. Its a joke that there is nothing in stores and you are supposed to buy sight unseen with fuzzy details including videos/pics not product relate.

          No it does not come with window mount, controls, or tunnel.  However I highly recommend this cooler is powerful and cools my mom 1800 sq ft home upstairs and down stairs cold!  She only needs to run it on low, otherwise it get to cold!   She lives in Riverside County CA were it gets in the 110 degrees.

            No, the Hessaire 6800 CFM model does not come with a tunnel. You would either have to make one of sheet metal or buy a less powerful unit or another brand that has it. The controls are not included with it but I bought a DIAL 6-Position Evaporative Cooler Wall Switch for less than $15 and it's worked fine.

                    Yes. copper or poly.

                      Yes this unit uses a 1/4in line. Most are 25ft long in the kits but can be purchased longer in copper or poly. HD sells their Evaporative Cooler Water Hook-Up Kit (25ft) with an Angle Valve #4479 for $20.69 #4403 is only for the inside the cooler if yours is broken $12.83 NOT for hooking a new cooler up to water! Copper pipe is the best long term solution but remember to install it at an angle and use a bleed off valve so it can be drained before winter or it will split!

                        Arrived to pick up my product after notification, but was told to return later as shipping couldn't retrieve it. On return, management refused to use a forklift to load it. Product was damaged on arrival; told to contact Hessaire.

                        To tell you the truth, For the amount of money that we spend on this thing, the fact that it doesn't come with the motor is ridiculous. This thing IS NOT constructed well enough to be spending $700-$800 on it. The pads look Mickey Mouse and look like they MIGHT last one season. SO, my honest opinion is that it's horrendously overpriced for what the package entails, and to NOT have the electric motor included, is a slap in the face to every consumer out there. Thanks for bending us over.

                        My only concern is the unit was shipped with a 16 gauge cord for the motor to the power supply and the 3/4 horsepower motor requires a 12 gauge cord

                        Thing is worse than my 30 year old one that finally rusted out. And this is way bigger. I don’t recommended. Not sure why it dosent cool as good. But not even close.

                        I rehab my own houses for a living. I installed the 6800cfm Hessaire unit in my Trona rental. The Home is 1150 sq ft. Small. They all told me a Bigger unit won't make a difference. The Temps outside have Hit 115 - 118 degrees. I am not kidding. My highest Temps inside have hit 72. Flippin amazing. They are asking what are you doing differently. I just say this ain't my first Rodeo. I also replaced celling drywall. And still have not put in insulation yet.
