Customer Reviews For The Honeywell Outdoor Portable Evaporative Air Cooler and Fan - 2669 CFM, Black
I live in Los Angeles and I bought it for a 3 car garage that would heat up to 100. It drop it down to 80 but with the air movement it was a comfortable 80. I moved it to the back on a slider to the house in july, hottest july on record. 2600 Sq feet home I ran it 24 hours . In the morning my house would be 67° and by 6 it would be 78 for less them a hour before dropping back down. Every neighbor electric bull was 7 to 800 . Mine was 220.
Works awesome, prompt delivery overall very satisfied with the product!
This air cooler works better than I thought it would.But there are a couple minor down falls that would make it better.When I got it first thing I did was read all the directions. The only thing I could find was it has a 14 gal water tank and there was a site glass.So I measured out 14 gal of water which may have been a LITTLE heavy each and turned it on and had water coming out the sides.So after calling support I finds out to watch the float. I wasn't aware I was to be looking for a float height in the site glass not the water level.Needs better detailed instructions.Also it could use a better located winter tank drain. I'm too old to get on the floor,find the drain and I cant get it outside so I would have to run it dry of water, which instructions tell you this can damage the pump or I could drain what water remains on my living room carpet so after I realized how easy the sides come off I purchased a transfer pump and garden hose to suck the water out for winter storage. I think a low side drain would be a better location one could put a valve with garden hose attached and out the door to drain as instructions suggest. I feel if you updated the manual and put on a low side drain it would change the air cooler rating from A to A+ The basic machine works well and is an excellent product.
- 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
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 make them more expensive to purchase and they consume significantly higher electricity during use.
