This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. The remote control allows you to easily change settings.The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy. The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.

Worst product and worst service:
I live in Arizona and knew that the product was an evaporative cooler. When I received it it worked ok but the pump died after a month. So I have just a fan no cooler.

This Air Cooler works great!:
I read the reviews on Amazon before I brought this Air Cooler and all of the good ones were right on! This is not an Air Conditioner but it is a great Air Cooler and it directs cool air into the room. I live in San Diego CA and there are some days that are hot and dry where this cooler works wonderfully to cool down the temperature in the room. My cat loves it and I am very glad I bought it. I really have to thank all the positive reviews I read about this cooler because I probably would not have tried it... more info
Meh:
The unit isn't very impressive. I wouldn't really call it a swamp cooler. Sure, it evaporates air but unit is more in line with a humidifier than a "cooler".
Like others have stated, this is not an AC unit, nor will it "cool" things off like you might want it to.
I expect it's use may change as the seasons change but in the heat of the summer it won't cut the mustard.
For $100 I could have picked up a more quiet fan and probably been happier but I'm not out too much. The timer... more info
