1000 CFM 2-Speed Outdoor Portable Evaporative Cooler (Swamp Cooler) for 460 sq. ft.

Easy to use portable cooler. It's tall at just under 45 inches, but it's lightweight and has easy to roll wheels. Portability is the key component of this cooler. Honeywell designed it with a low power draw so there is no problem running it on the extension cord, however, the unit is supplied with a 10 foot long cord that works perfect for me. Then the option to run on a garden hose or fill from a side filling port that gives the freedom of not having a hose draped across my patio. Just fill with water, power and go! The Honeywell can be used indoor but an evaporative cooler adds moisture to the air and I live in Louisiana which already has high humidity levels. But the Honeywell cooler still drops the temperature 10 - 15 degrees, depending on the humidity level outside. I use the cooler for mostly on my patio. It is quite enough to talk even with the fan running on high speed. The cooler has a number of features including a wireless remote (that operates all the features of the cooler console), two fan speed options, swing mode that directs the air side to side and a feature that allows you to run the cooler with just the fan. It is well built, durable and easy to clean the inside. There is very little maintenance for the cells. The only "con" I have is the difficulty with the drain plug. You have to almost tilt the cooler to remove the plug because of the low clearance of the cooler but other than that I really love this addition for our patio.

This cooler will help in the desert heat. It moves plenty of air, especially on high. Our garage is uninsulated so it gets quite hot in the summer, and this will help when I have work to do there. My little 8X8 shop is attached to the garage, and this is a bit big for just that room, so I'll have to set it back a ways. I put it on the back porch to see how it works there. Ambient temp was 86. Relative humidity was 20%. Like any evaporative cooler the pads had to get good and wet before we saw much change in temp. Discharge air got down to 66, a 20 degree drop. No difference in temp drop with high or low. speed. Not too bad, though I get close to 30 degree drop through the cooler on the house. Of course when the summer rains come, and humidity goes up, the efficiency will drop considerably., and high speed may help a bit. We like the ability to adjust the louvers up and down, and the SWING feature is nice. Not sure yet, how long the 3 gallon sump will take to use before refilling. Knowing my wonderful wife of 45 years, I strongly believe that I'll need to get another (smaller) cooler for my shop because this one will very likely wind up on the porch all summer. Now for the downside. Cord could be longer to allow for better placement without creating a tripping hazard. Though the instructions say not to use an extension cord, for us it will be a necessity. The drain plug is hard to get to. as there is very little space above the floor (see pics below) . Getting it out is tight but OK, but putting it back requires tilting the cooler. My finger would not go under it to get the plug back in. Overall, a nice, attractive cooler.

I've always had a good experience using Honeywell products and their quality, performance and functionality are impressive. My new Honeywell 830cfm 2-speed indoor/outdoor portable evaporative cooler works great and I'd definitely recommend it to use indoors to cool up to 460sf, or it can be used outdoors to cool off the patio, deck, grill area, etc. The two speed fan motor is strong and really pushed some air. It can be manually filled or can be hooked up with a continuous water supply-garden hose. It can be run in the fan mode or cooling mode. The remote control works great and I like the optional mode to have the fan louvers move back and forth. It has wheels for easy moving and a nice space saving design. The instruction manual is very complete and easy to follow. I definitely recommend tis great Honeywell evaporative cooler!

The unit is great for cooling outdoor areas. I use it in my backyard which is fairly large and it cools down the whole place quickly. The water tank is big and keeps it running for long, plus I don't have to worry too much about storage because this thing is pretty sturdy.

I bought this after it was recommended to me by a friend. It noticeably drops the temperature where I have it set up. Love that it's so lightweight so I can move it easily to the patio.

Unfortunately after first try that went well 2 days later tried to use but water pump/switch did not work- no water on media so just a big fan

This product was not beneficial, I wanted to return them but I didn't have the boxes. This doesn't work in a really warm area.

Made the house really humid, so we returned it.
