New to evaporative air cooling? The sensation is like a lakeside breeze. Browse through these tabs to discover more about this energy-efficient technology.
So, It's Not an Air Conditioner--Right?
Correct! Evaporative air coolers don't use heavy compressors or refrigerant gas to lower air temperatures, nor do they spray mist. Instead, they moderately reduce heat through evaporating water vapor into the air. They work most effectively in hot, dry climates. Check out the map: The red and orange regions, with less than 45% relative humidity, are suited for indoor & outdoor evaporative coolers; the yellow regions, between 45%-65% relative humidity, can benefit from outdoor swamp coolers; the blue, more humid zones are on target for outdoor evaporative cooling or indoor Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners.
How do Evaporative Air Coolers Work?
Honeywell evaporative air coolers are constructed with three central components: a fan, a pump system to circulate water and a honeycomb-shaped absorbent panel. The fan draws in warm air through the wet honeycomb media; evaporation converts the moisture into water vapor; and then cooler, more humid air flows out on the other side. When using an evaporative air cooler, ventilate! Open a window, or keep a door ajar, to expel over-humidity and allow for circulation of fresh, dry air. Also, be aware that the honeycomb media may have a distinct odor when first used, which will dissipate after a couple hours.

Product Description
Like a breeze flowing across a lake, Honeywell Evaporative Coolers provide a natural, cool breeze with the power of water evaporation. Honeywell Evaporative Coolers combine 3 appliances: Evaporative air cooler, fan and humidifier - into one compact energy-saving system. A fan alone creates a breeze by recirculating warm air, but when you add water and/ice to the tank, Honeywell Evaporative Coolers reduce the temperature of incoming warm air, transforming it into a cool moist breeze. Honeywell Portable Air Coolers are built to last and carefully crafted with the science of aerodynamics to minimize energy consumption while maximizing the airflow. An evaporative air cooler offers an energy efficient cooling option when the air is hot with low humidity, such as desert areas like the southwestern United States (recommended humidity level is 60% or less for maximum efficiency). For those living in more humid cities, please consider Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners.

Mind you, a window unit AC is always the best option but in my new Condo, we aren't allowed to install them, so I am leaning back on this Honeywell, which has served me so well in the past. Adding ice to the ice compartment in addition to using ice-cold water really helps. We do have central AC, but the building isn't good at maintaining it, so we use this unit a lot. It keeps us comfortable when we need it, but we'd need a second one if the Central AC is still broken come summer.
UPDATE Jan 26th'20223: Our buildings AC has been borked since Thanksgiving and this unit has saved my sanity! I am so glad we bought the new one. I was able to clean up the old one tolerably well, so it doesn't spit water, using one of the CLR formulas, but the new one was already in use. We'll save the old one for a friend in need this summer. If you aren't allowed window units, this might be right for you. Read on.
If you want this Unit to cool the bedroom before sleeping, make sure to aim the back of the machine OUT the door because you cannot create cold without creating some heat, even with an Evaporative Cooler like this one. This machine has kept us tolerably cool even with 3 large southern facing windows. Thermal curtains can only do so much. On days of extreme humidity, the machine will not work as well as it does when the humidity is lower than 50% but by using cold water and ice, it takes the edge off enough that you aren't snapping at your spouse! Be prepared to make your own ice as I described because storebought ice is too expensive to make this Unit a lower cost option. Also, store-bought ice is usually crushed or has hollow centers which makes it melt super-fast. The method I describe above saves you about $8 to 14 a day in ice purchases.
This thing has wheels and can be easily moved from room to room, which is very helpful. Make sure you keep the screens clean. I use a small brass brush such as you would use to clean suede shoes. Just don't brush too hard. Be sure to add the recommended amount of liquid algaecide each time you fill or refill the tank with cold water because otherwise algae will FORM in the tank. That's a very yuck thing to have to clean. Use the Algaecide every time you fill it up and when you aren't using it, drain the water out in the bathtub or shower and let it dry out to prevent algae build up. I needed to give the tank a good clean every other month when I was using it every day and night but once I learned to add the algaecide with every tank-up and every time I added a gallon of water, I only had to clean it twice a season.
Remember, it WILL raise the humidity in the room where you use it. If you are already in a humid environment, this may not be the best choice for you. We are in Los Angeles and so that is not much of a problem. Still, don't use it in a room with fine art on the walls or textile wall hangings made of wool. We did that once and damp wool STINKS. We just moved the wall hanging to another room and stored the art in a humidity-controlled storage unit. It could ruin posters, paper, fine books etc., with constant use. They don't call these things "swamp coolers" for nuthin' LOL.
I don't recommend adding any essential oils or fragrance to the water because this is a MACHINE, and you will never get that stuff out of the working parts. Also, you don't want anything other than the water and/or approved algaecides or hard water build-up preventatives in your tank. Keep it simple. If you want scent, get one of those wax warmers that you can plug in. I've done the candle routine and it stains your ceiling with soot as bad as a fireplace. Wax melts make better sense. Just don't put any fragrance in the tank! It is tempting but ultimately very unwise.
As I mentioned before, try to aim the exhaust out a door to another room so you don't waste electricity by warming AND cooling the room.
FYI: I checked my past orders, and we used this product to combat bacteria and algae: BestAir 3BT Original Humidifier Bacteriostatic Water Treatment. You can also find a good hard water treatment to add that prevents lime scale build-up. A six-pack of that Bestair stuff should last you the life of the evaporative cooler or at least a year if you use it as much as we did.
Remember, if you can get a unit that works like a real AC and have a place to vent the heat out a window, DO IT. if not, this is your next best option.
