Description

Evaporative cooling fans are designed to pull hot, dry air through a water- soaked media filter using a water pump and fan. As the water evaporates into the air, the air's temperature will lower. They are optimal when used in hot, dry climates used to filter ambient air while increasing the condensation and delivering cool airflow. Evaporative cooling fans do not use refrigerants to remove heat like an air conditioner, so they are less effective in high humidity areas.Hessaire MC18M cooling fans are the most versatile portable evaporative cooling fans on the market, delivering 1,300 CFM of cool airflow covering up to 500 sq ft of open space. The MC18M cooling fan has a 4.8-gallon water tank creating up to 3-4 hours of use. The built-in float valve and garden hose adapter allows for easy connection and contiguous water flow without overflowing your tank. This unit has a motor speed dial with 5 settings: 2 fan modes on HI and LOW speed (pump on), 2 fan-only modes HI and LOW speed (pump off). The high efficiency 0.7A motor allows it to operate on vehicles with 115V power supply making it good for tailgating, camping, pool parties and other outdoor events. Assembly is required. Key Operational Points: Your cooling fan must be positioned in front of an open window or door to operate effectively. Always ensure that there is another open window or door through which the air can exhaust from within the room. At the end of each day, run your cooler on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the filter. Prior to putting your cooler away for winter, always: a. Drain the tank and wipe out clean. b. Clean the filter c. Reassemble and run-on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the filter.

  • This baby is powerful and actually works.
Size: 1300 CFM
My AC for my home went out and needs to be replaced. Even when it worked it only worked on the main level and not in the basement. I started out looking for AC units that do not need to be vented for my basement and purchased some 2 in 1 breezewell units. The first one I got worked pretty well. When my main AC went out I thought well maybe as a temporary fix I oould buy a few more. I had bought a 2 in 1Breezewell and a 3N1 Breezewell. The 3N1 was smaller and I was a little disapointed but, I have had no problems with it. The 2n1 unit seemed to be working well and so I thought I would buy one more. The day after I bought the 3rd one the second 2n1 unit quit blowing air after 5 days. Nothing I could do would fix it. I did all the troubleshooting suggestions that came with it. I reached out to the seller with no success and then the third one arrived I thought ok the other one going out must be a fluke so I hooked up the third one relieved that it was working. Until the next day when the third one quit blowing air. Now I was furious. It was hot and I had spent too much money of these units. I contacted Amazon who by the way are the best cutomer service people I have ever worked with. They got me a refund and I was able to order something else. Not trusting the reviews on Amazon I went out to Google and searched for the best AC that did not need to be vented and this little baby popped up on a Bob Vila website on top evaporated coolers. It did not look that great. It did not have the bells and whistles that Breezwell had but, after reading reviews I was convinced enough to give it a try. I live in UT which is a dry climate and the reviews from California and Nevada who have similar hot dry climates were very convinving. When I got it there was nothing to really put together but to attach the wheels on the bottom of the unit and add water. When we turned it on we could tell how powerful it was. It takes 4 gallons of water. But, when you turn the fan on with the pump, the air coming out was very cold. Almost like a refrigerated unit. It cools the entire room down to the point I have to turn it down because it gets too cold. That is without adding ice or anything like what my breezewell was recommending. You can put ice in it but you do not need to. Maybe I will try that on the hotter months. This AC is strong and has strong fan that blows the air out. I do not mind the sounds. I am pretty sure it is a little quieter than the Breezewell that bills itself as a quiet unit. I compared the force of the fan with my working breezewell and this one is stronger, ,colder and I am happy with it. I finally found a unit that really works. So what are the negatives? You have to watch the water level and you will need to fill it up about every 4 hours if you run it all the time. You have to do this with all evaporated coolers from what I can see but, this one uses 4 gallons of water. I will sometimes turn off the pump and put it on fan only to conserve water. There is a way to hook it up to a hose to avoid to having fill it up with water as often. It is still pretty cool without the pump because it is a strong fan. On warmer days you will be glad for the water to cool down the air. Read the directions that come with it and you will be fine. I highly recommend this unit if you live in a dry climate. ... show more

  • Love this thing!
Size: 3,100 CFM
This is a great portable cooler. I debated whether to get a whole home cooler or just a portable cooler. I’m glad I went this route as many reviews had varying ratings. Here’s my situation which may help others decide. I have a 2 story home. The upstairs is approximately 900 sq ft and is basically an open floor plan loft which has a bedroom, bathroom, and livingroom area. The downstairs is about 2200 sq ft that has the livingroom and kitchen centrally located with other rooms located around this central location. I explain this because I get great circulation in my home due to the layout. I live in SW Colorado and our typical humidity in the summer season is under 20% and most of my home never gets direct sun for too long in one location. Due to this, my home rarely gets warm until about 3-4pm in the west side. And it’s only gets a bit warm for me until about 8-9pm when the heat breaks due to the sun setting. So with that info, I bought the unit for approximately 900 sq ft. I placed my unit in the western most room and have it facing at an angle towards my centrally located rooms which is the livingroom and kitchen. On Low Setting, this thing easily knocks the heat out on the main floor. I’ve not had to use the Medium or High Settings what-so-ever even in mid to high 90s. I run a window fan upstairs to just pull heat out of the upstairs, run my ceiling fans (2) per normal, and typically I don’t have to open up any windows downstairs. While it’s recommended to run in front of an open door or window, I never do. When it begins to cool off in the evening, I may or may not open up a window while this thing is running. Due to how dry it is out here, typically I do not get any mugginess in the home from running as I do. Your situation may differ depending on humidity. Installation of the wheels was a breeze. The only thing I’d suggest is DO NOT use power tools such as a drill driver and DO NOT over tighten the screws for the wheels. I just hand tightened to snug and had zero issues with stripping out the plastic. You just have to take care. My wheels were loose within the box as the plastic storage cover was not securely screwed down. It was a non-issue for me and I didn’t have to build any wood base. The only real issue I had was the whole thing is molded plastic and my water storage section has a small area that is a tad warped. It was also a non-issue for me. As for loudness... I can hear my tv just fine with it on Low and I’m sure would hear everything just fine on the other settings. When I set a box fan next to it, I can hear the box fan on low over the cooler to give ya an idea. The only part that I find a bit annoying is the oscillating setting. It sounds like plastic rubbing on plastic with just little creaks. I’m sure a little Teflon spray, chain wax spray, or even a little WD-40 could curb that, but I don’t bother with the setting. All in all this is a great cooler and I waited to pick it up when it had a price reduction. It cools pretty much my entire downstairs, with the central house receiving the most benefit and the hallway and rooms that the breeze is directed towards in my home. I’d say it easily knocks the home temp into the mid to low 70s for about 1500 of the almost 2200 square feet I have in the main level and that’s on low. The remaining 700 sq ft is cooler, but not as noticeable. It could be if I ran it on the other settings, but no one is in those rooms or upstairs until after 9pm and my house is opened up at that point since I get temp drops of 25-30+ degrees when that sun sets. If you have my situation, this thing will easily cool your main level of your home beyond it’s minimums depending on your situation. I’ll end this review with this thought, just take into consideration your home layout, your typical humidity, the rooms that actually need cooling during the times it’s uncomfortable for you. Each situation is different. My cooler usually only gets run on 85+ degree days for about 4-6 hours, due to my locale. Once the outside temp drops into the 70s, my home gets opened up. Your situation may vary. ... show more

  • Nice little water cooler
Size: 1300 CFM
I am mostly happy with this little cooler. It doesn't work as well if the temperatures soar above 102° Fahrenheit. But neither do larger water coolers. I improved the cooling effect by adding two room fans next to the water cooler because the water cooler's fan is not that powerful. But I'm happy with this purchase! The wheels on the bottom don't roll easily and could improve the wheels design to help move the unit around. I follow the directions after I'm done using the water pump to cool the pad I turn the unit on the "fan only" for 30 minutes to dry the pad. This helps the pad to not get a musty smell. A musty smell also builds up over time if you don't change the water reservoir often. I change the water in the reservoir about once a month but it might be better if I were to change it every two weeks - I'm kind of lazy. I hope the unit holds up for next summer because this summer I've really used the heck out of it! it has been a long and very hot summer here in the high desert! ... show more

  • It works
Size: 1300 CFM
Cheaper than most others, but really effective cooks the space at least 10 degrees cooler. Kinda cute too. It is big though, and does take a long time to fill up with water. But them’s the breaks
