Will be interesting to see how it goes throughout the summer. We have a smaller one in our apartment but we are in Finland and the humidity is around 50/60% in the day and up to 100% at night. The little cooler cools the apartment down nicely during the day but when that humidity goes past 90% it just becomes a big fan. Still better than a fan and it does need ventilation in the room (open window for example), quite the opposite with an AC unit. Cheers.
It's been great so far. The humidity is very low where I live most of the year. We're at the one point of the year now we call "monsoon season". where we have thunderstorms in the late afternoon that brings the humidity to 40 to 50%, but the sun the next day burns it off pretty fast. As I'm typing this it's 9am, the temp is 38c and the humidity is already down to 23%. By noon it will be 44c and the humidity will be around 10%. I try to be done with everything I need to do outside or in the shop by 1pm and be inside in the real air conditioning for the rest of the day. But when I can't, having that evap cooler blowing on me really helps. That, and about 10 bottles of Gatorade. lol
@@csumme7 Here's a Spaniard wondering how someone in Finland could need a cooler of any type xD I only turn on the AC if it's 27 ºC or higher inside (usually meaning 35-40 outside)
@@omarnug Many here do have AC often from a portable or with a heat pump. When it gets hot here it can reach 30C and the humidity in the air can make it very oppressive when there is not wind. I have a small apartment and don't need an AC (positioning of the apartment that the sun comes in through the windows for about 3 hours but when it does it is very hot) but a cooler works great and is very efficient. I lived in the southern US and it isn't something based on temperature all the time to what makes it hot. 30C in Nevada is different than 30C in Main because of the air and pressure.
I get what you're saying, but the room it's pulling air from is not air conditioned and faces the west and at the time I made the video was in the upper 80's. Another thing to consider, and I don't know if I mentioned it, while it was blowing 70 degree air it could not significantly lower the temp in the garage due to the fact that it's uninsulated and has big gaps for hot air to enter around the garage door. But it sure felt good having it blowing on me. And months later I'm still using and liking it. It's way better than just a fan despite what some non believers will tell you. If you live in a dry climate like me an evap cooler can really make a difference.
Nothing more than an expensive humidifier. These things don't cool anything unless you're already in a cool environment. I can buy a fan for $25.00 that does the same thing. With no humidity.

@@3rdpig That's proper hot. Anything above 25C here and people start to melt. It's like Frosty the snowman in the greenhouse. :)

Would have been beneficial to get a reading in front of it before adding water, ice and starting it up.

@@3rdpig that’s awesome! Glad to hear it’s still helping to keep you cool verses without it!

@@bradforward850 You know nothing about evap coolers.
