How is this different than a swamp cooler?
A swamp cooler uses evaporative cooling to help reduce a room’s temperature by using a fan and water. This model functions like a standard AC unit and uses a refrigerant to reduce a room’s temperature.
How cold will it make a room?
It depends upon the fan speed, thermostat control, and the room itself. But you can set its thermostat anywhere from 60° F to 88° F.
How large of a space will it cool?
It is designed to cool rooms up to 250 square feet, depending on room insulation, ceiling height, and sun exposure.
Will it increase the humidity of a room?
No, it helps to actively remove humidity.
Does it run on batteries or have to be plugged in?
The unit must be plugged into a standard AC wall outlet. The remote control operates using two AAA batteries (included).
How often do I have to refill the water tank?
Refill times may vary depending on thermostat settings, but the unit can last anywhere from 2-4 hours before requiring a refill of water.
How is it different than a vented AC unit?
The main differences between this model and a standard window AC unit are that it is portable, operates at much lower BTUs, and is designed for use in medium-small size rooms.
What type of spaces/rooms is it recommended for?
It is designed to go into any small space or medium-sized rooms where cool air is required. This may include attics, garages, bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and offices.
