FAST & EFFICIENT EVAPORATIVE COOLING
Honeywell Evaporative Air Coolers are an environmentally-friendly and cost-friendly cooling option for your home. Much like a breeze flowing across a lake or the refreshing cool air you feel near a waterfall, air coolers produce a comfortable, cool breeze with the natural process of water evaporation. When warm air is drawn into the Honeywell Evaporative Cooler, it is filtered through a wet honeycomb cooling medium, which absorbs heat and naturally cools and humidifies the air. A powerful fan pushes the cool air out of the front of the unit into the surrounding area. This no-compressor system cools naturally, efficiently and inexpensively.
WORKS BETTER IN LOW HUMIDITY
Evaporative Air Coolers are more effective in areas with maximum relative humidity of 60% or less. Warm, dry air is important for more effective evaporative cooling and the temperature decrease will be greater in drier environments because higher evaporation occurs when the humidity is low. Evaporative Air Coolers produce moisture and can be used to increase humidification in a room. They are ideal for maintaining a cool breeze and increase comfort in homes located in drier regions.
AN AIR COOLER IS NOT "JUST A FAN"
Air coolers use the natural process of water evaporation to cool incoming hot air and use a powerful fan to expel the newly, cooled air. The temperature of dry air can drop significantly when liquid water transforms to water vapor (through evaporation).
AN AIR COOLER IS NOT AN AIR CONDITIONER
Air conditioners require a chemical cooling refrigerant and an energy-consuming compressor to transform hot air into cool air. The hot air must be released outside the room. The more complex composition of Air Conditioners also makes them more expensive to purchase as they consume significantly higher electricity during use.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY
Difference between Air Conditioners & Air Coolers:
Air Conditioner Uses
- Air Conditioners use refrigerant to cool and take moisture from the air.
- Air Conditioners are created to handle a wide variety of environments to cool.
- Air Conditioners change the air temperature in a room.
- Air Conditioners will decrease the humidity in the area they are being used.
- Air Conditioners work by circulating cooler air to lower temperatures.
- Air Conditioners use more energy.
- Air Conditioners are generally louder than Air Coolers.
Air Cooler Uses
- Air Coolers evaporate moisture to create a cooling effect.
- Air Coolers perform best in hot, dry climates.
- Air Coolers make a room feel 4 degrees - 6 degrees F cooler.
- Air Coolers will increase the humidity in the area they are being used.
- Air Coolers work best when circulating outside air throughout your home.
- Air Coolers use less energy.
- Air Coolers are generally quiet.
- Ensure adequate cross ventilation
- Evaporative Air Coolers should not be used in enclosed spaces. Doors and windows should be opened to allow free air flow. An Air Cooler works best when placed near an open window, drawing outside air and circulating it in the room before exiting via a window or door. The maximum cooling effect is felt when a person is near the flow of air coming out of the Air Cooler.
- Check the humidity of your room
- Evaporative Air Coolers are more effective in environments with maximum relative humidity of 60% or less. If you live in a humid location, air coolers can still be a welcomed, energy saving cooling mechanism for your home by scheduling the air cooler to switch on at specific, drier times during the day. For example, during the hottest hours of the afternoon. Honeywell Air Coolers can also be paired with your air conditioner to extend air conditioner cooling so you can save energy by switching off the air conditioner and extending the cooling effect by switching on a Honeywell Air Cooler

Honeywell CL201AE Evaporative Cooler with Remote Control, 470 CFM (Gray) Reviews
needed a water cooler that could cool my business and this seems to do the job just right. if you put ice in it and makes the cooling process even faster.
I ordered directly from Honeywell because many of the big box stores insist on a lesser quality product to cut cost. I received my cooler and it was easy to unpack. Plugged it in, added water and walla I had cool air. I am very satisfied with the product.
So far so good but it is noisy.
Rating: 4 to 4.5 pretty darn good! I use this unit for my medium-medium small bedroom in semi-arid So.California ...gives off nice cool air, has convenient remote, tolerable fan noise I think of it as white noise, humidity/cooling level adjustment knob inside top ice cube compartment. Really cuts back on electric bill by allowing spot cooling of specific areas of my home. I do find it a bit difficult to read the print on the units control panel & the remote. The water tank is quite large so I don't have to be run to refill it frequently during high use days. When purchasing an evap cooler it's important to pay attention to the sq footage it's recommended for as this will coincide with the level of air flow from the unit...the larger the area an evap cooler is good for the cooler & more force of air flow coming from a particular unit..that is very important to understand so you get the best unit for the intended area you plan to use it for. Using these evap coolers in humid conditions is not effective humidity over 50-60% won't allow for effective cooling. You MUST have good ventilation by way of open windows & doors or your room will become like a warm/hot swamp. It's important to know that algae, mold & bacteria will grow if you leave water sitting in the tank for extended periods of time. You must run the unit on fan only mode after using it in cooling mode to allow the honeycomb wetting pad to dry & prevent mold & odor accumulation. Pros: Good for average sized bedroom. Holds large volume of H2O. Remote is convenient & has convenient side pocket holder. Moves considerable volume of air Large water port on side of unit Easy access ice cube apartment to top of unit increases cooling effect Cons: small print on control panel & remote difficult to read as print is small & black on grey background. Water level indicator is a bit difficult to read as its a white plastic float-style piece that bobs in the water tank...takes some getting used to. Panel to back of unit has 12 screws that are cumbersome & must be removed to access honeycomb wetting pad & to allow inspection of inside of water tank for potential algae/mold growth or other maintenance would be nice to have some way of opening it other than numerous small screws.
