Uthfy 40" Swamp Cooler, 4800 CFM Evaporative Air Cooler with 10.6 Gallon Water Tank, Portable Outdoor Air Conditioner with 3 Ice Pack, 110° Oscillation, 3 Speed for Garage, Yard, Commercial Use

Colorado resident. It works really well in our dry climate. With the cooler feature and the hose hook up, this portable evaporator works as well as a non portable window evaporator. When our old swamp cooler kicked the bucket recently, we noticed the prices tripled since the last time we bought one and decided to try this lesser expensive option. I'm really happy with this. The fact that this is portable and can be rolled anywhere, makes this much better than the traditional swamp cooler. I keep it running on either low or medium all night and morning and usually switched to the ice packs in the afternoon when it really gets hot. If it's 100 degrees outside, I can turn the cooler option on and it will cool down the house to around 70 degrees. If you stand directly in front of it, it's about 50 degrees. You can really feel the cold air. Please note, with the cooler feature active, it does use up the water. If you don't have a water hose connected, then you need to refill to the max water line every 3 to 4 hours. The water pump only pumps out water if you have the cooler feature on. If you live in a dry climate like I do, the temperature drops significantly at night so I just turn the cooler feature off and keep it running on low or medium and just crack a few windows open. Our humidity in Denver is less than 10% so it works great at night without the cooling option. This way I don't need to set an alarm after 4 hours to add water or change the ice packs.

Packed well and delivered on time. It took a few minutes to put the wheels on and fill it with water. This is the BEST Cooler I have ever bought, (I've owned many). It went from 90 degrees in the main part of my home, to 72 degrees. All three speeds are very good. Just be sure your floor is even. Where I had it originally, it was leaning a bit. So all three pad sides were not getting wet. Once I fixed it, I was actually getting COLD. I checked many Coolers at several stores and on the Net. I watched a lot of Video Reviews also. This was always one of the Top five Coolers. It's worth every cent. And, as cheap as it is to run instead of an Air Conditioner. I believe it will pay for itself the first season. Buy it, you wont be sorry!

This is my second purchase of this model. The first one lasted nearly 3 years of keeping me cool in the Texas heat. The reservoir is large enough to get the job done. This sits outside on my covered patio so the hose hookup is huge for me. I added an on/off valve between the hose and the plastic mounted fitting. This fan has enough power to keep me cool at ~10'. There are drawbacks however. The first one had a low power fan failure. Being adept at electronics, I changed out the 4 position switch on the front, no dice but I could live with only medium and high settings. Then finally, the pump failed. Most of the wiring is routed through the fan casing, so I just opted to replace the entire thing. The paper filters were getting brittle but could have lasted a bit longer. Be aware that the rear panel screws and brackets will rust and the fan casing will eventually show signs of corrosion. I considered removing the fan at one point to recondition it, but that's a huge undertaking with the wiring and plumbing. So during it's lifespan, I oiled it each time I removed the filter pads for cleaning. One improvement is that the drain no longer sits underneath but now on the backside making it much easier to drain and clean. If you purchase, consider it a consumable. If the floor is not level, I had to put a folded piece of cardboard under one wheel so that the water would distribute evenly on all 3 sides. It's noisy kinda at the highest fan level. This is a good value if you go into it knowing that there are some maintenance aspects to consider, and I don't mind that and expect it. I recommend.

Pump cannot keep up with the cooler the flow of the pump is low keeps one side of the cooler dry it cannot keep up with the cooler. Only the side where the water feed stays wet the rest is dry water doesn't flow to one side of the cooler like if the pump flow is not enough the first picture shows how water doesn't flow to one side and the second picture shows how water runs down one side only

I'm very pleased with this unit. I bought this to use primarily in our 21' x 16' sunroom and to be able to roll it out under the gazebo on the patio. I will say that this makes the sunroom comfortable, yesterday was 101 and we were able to stay comfortable in the sunroom. I'm amazed at how quiet it is, you can easily carry on conversations even though it's only a few feet away. As I said in the title, I ordered a larger unit of the same brand for my garage.

This swamp cooler works well and keeps my garage cool when I want to work there. I like the ability to switch the oscillating grill off and on. If you want to focus on working at your workbench or sit in a chair, turn the oscillation off. The push button and toggle switch controls make it easy to adjust fan speed, cooling and oscillation. The unit is on four castors which makes moving the unit easy. The top of the unit has a lid which provides access to the upper water reservoir and you can add frozen, plastic, blue freezer containers to cool the air more. The cons about this cooler are: 1) the connection pipe is poorly mounted on the cooler. It took a long time to figure out how to attach a hose and shutoff without leakage where the connection enters the cooler. It’s cheaply made and I was afraid it would break. 2) the water level indicator is a plastic float which continuously sticks in the tube it’s in. You have to open the access flap to feel what the water level is. 3) cleaning isn’t very easy. I kept this unit because it works well and is problematic returning. I’ve had it for a year and it’s still working and not leaking.

Picked this cooler to pair with another swamp cooler we already have out by our backyard palapa, and the difference it makes is night and day. Pushes a tons of cool air and keeps the whole covered patio area comfortable even during peak Texas summer heat during family cookouts. Setup was straightforward, and it holds enough water to run through an entire afternoon gathering without constantly needing a refill or being noisy. Highly recommend if you have an open outdoor space and wanna keeep your family comfortable

Poor Quality Control. Decal wasn't on right. Don't know where they got 4 hours of cooling time. I filled it up and went through half a tank, on HIGH, in about an hour. So, installed auto fill. Float valve installed incorrectly. Leaked all over the floor. Fixed it. Upper tray appears to be incorrect. Shows level in the center but only delivers water to one side. Shimmed the unit. I shouldn't have to go through this for what they charge. If they ever make anything with pressure or power in the dangerous range, I would not buy from them. They need to up their Quality Control Game. Temperature test tomorrow. Gonna hit 100+F out here. Gonna see how well it cools a 900sqft metal garage for my weight room.
