Hessaire MC18V Portable Evaporative Cooler, Green, 1300 CFM, Cools 500 Square Feet

After a full season of use in Las Vegas, I highly recommend this product. My work truck at the airport has no air conditioner. This unit fits on my passenger seat and provides a large steady stream of cool air. Draws air from outside so the window is down. Coolers large storage compartment is filled with ice and water. We hit 120° last year and this was a life saver.

OMG this is great! We’re using it in our RV in Palm Springs (South California) where it’s HOT and DRY. It was 100F yesterday and we managed to stay cool with just one of our three AC units. Huge power cost savings. It consumes a LOT of water but inside humidity stayed in the 50% range. Cooler is placed in front of an open window in our salon with a venting window in the forward bedroom. Highly recommend this.

Product essentially met my expectations. I wasn't aware that it was recommended more for outdoor cooling but it works sufficiently enough inside. It's not quiet however but overall for the price point, a good product.

I purchased the Hessaire MC18V a couple weeks ago to use in what can be a very hot sunroom that houses my cat. There is a long bank of windows that face east that allow the morning sun on summer days to become brutally hot. The poor cat needed some relief. I bought the Hessaire after much research and contemplation. The model I bought fit my budget...I thought after reading reviews it would be adequate for the space. Setting it up was simple...put on the wheels, fill with water, switch it on. From that moment the Hessaire began cooling the sunroom and is keeping it in the high 70s most days. To maximize the evaporative cooling system I open several windows behind the Hessaire and down the line of windows in front of the MC18V I open every third window. I also run a Vornado fan to move the air around. The evaporative cooling system is working better than I'd hoped. It's not too noisy on high fan and the quieter low fan setting is adequate most days. There hasn't been any issue with excess humidity (probably because there are several open windows). I am happy with this purchase so far. It's easy to put water in using a watering can with long narrow spout. Rolling the unit to put it away each evening is easy. I decided to drain the Hessaire after the first week. The drain is accessible and easy to use. I have been adding a half cup of white vinegar to the water every third day. I haven't noticed any foul odors. I have no complaints other than the not so beautiful army green color is not my favorite. I do recommend this product.

Item came packaged as new, but had clearly been used. The filter was filthy and the casing was scratched, dirty, and stained. Unfortunately it was bought for a Christmas gift and the family member didn’t open the box for about 6 months.

I thought this was a misting air conditioner. It is not.

Thus is the most powerful evaporative cooler I have ever owned, over ther years, I have bought about 3, but none of them work as efficiently as this one. I bought this one for my business, because we are on the corner, at a certain part of the day,the sun beams down heavily on the building causing the bricks to heat up like a brick I oven. I have two air conditioners running at all times because it is a salon and we have heated equipment running. When it is really hot, when turn off and equipment when we are not using it. This cooler helps cool off any excess hot air in the salon area. I also use fans to circulate the cooler air. It works extremely well, if you turn it off, you notice the difference immediately. Many customers have inquired about the unit, because they can actually feel the cool air from it. If it is extremely humid outside, you will not get the same cooling affect when the humidity is low, but it still makes a difference. The only downside to this unit is, because it is so powerful and I use it on high, it sucks down alot of water quickly. I can't go past 6-8 hours without adding more water. If you work an 8hour day, you definitely have to fill it up every day with about 4 gallons of water. If you use this unit outside in your yard, there is a garden hose attachment on the side of the unit, so you never run out of water. This is by far the best evaporative cooler I have ever bought, and I am looking forward to early Fall and late Spring, where I can just open my windows and turn it on, and not use the air conditioners at all. It is very sturdy, you can put ice directly into the water opening and, there is no spike in my electric bill from using it.

Excellent for adding humidity and making the air moist for those who live in the desert. This unit quickly adds moisture to the air making it better for your health.
