Honeywell Fan & Humidifier with Detachable Tank, Carbon Dust Filter & Remote Control, CS10XE Indoor Portable Evaporative Cooler, 300 CFM, Silver/Gray

I live in eastern Colorado where our weather is typically dry and not very humid. This air cooler works great! I have it set up in my bedroom and have the window cracked. It definitely does the job. The fan is very strong and moves air very well! The water tank is easy to fill and I’ve only had to run it on low so far...but...even on low and fan only, it’s very loud. I sleep with my tv on and don’t like the quiet so it’s not an issue for me but if you need quiet to sleep, this won’t be good for a bedroom. Other than the sound, there are no issues. (Also, my remote doesn’t work but I haven’t replaced the batter to see if that’s the reason why, it’s not that big of a deal to me.) Pros: Lightweight Has wheels for easy movement Easy to install Easy to fill Very easy to use control options Remote control Cons: Very loud fan

Really wanted this to work... I live in Las Vegas. Right now it's 97 degrees outside with 5% humidity. Our A/C broke upstairs so it's literally 90+ degrees in my 150 sq ft office where I'm using this. I opened a window (which seems counter-productive considering i'm trying to make the room colder and that just lets in more hot air... yet I understand the need for venting out the humidity b/c it gets really sticky really fast) but no difference in cooling down the room. Placed it in an open doorway and still not cooling down the room, it's just blowing a monstrous amount of air (sooooooo loud even on low) and making the room humid. I really don't get it. It's baaaarely colder than a $10 fan. Maybe the unit is defective? But how am I supposed to know that unless I'm a technician. Will definitely return this and bite the bullet to pay for a new A/C unit outside and go back to the normal way of cooling a room. Love the concept, but in this case the execution sucks.

Works great, and other times doesnt work. Since I live in a random humidity place... sucks! But it works. Needs to be placed properly by open window and block off any open useless areas in window or doorway(which I though tit helped much better), so it has direct flow, or open door way with screen door, seems to help as well. One good idea, I freeze a cup of water in a plastic cup, and toss out ice into tummy when I snap off the locks, just be careful not to tip over, helps. I tried modding in a new "cooler pad" from walmart, these blu pads which are way more better for this machine but was too hard to shape it, cause water would leak all over the place, its a awesome idea to use those pads since they cool better. Had to revert back to the original cardboard? block that it has. wish someone could come up with a youtube idea and mod one in, or honeywell to sell better PADDING or replaceable. My humidity ranges from 10-50%, works at higher but feels ehh like not great air, like sweaty wet air, still need to vent through doorway like I do with security screen door. For some reason I was expecting a miracle lol, but my mistake, I didnt think this through, but its worth it i guess. The ENERGY USE at watts at low is 75+w-100, compared to my refrigerated air window con (500 and 900w). I only used this honeywell in my room pointed to the whole summer which helped a lot lol, my room temp would jump to 85F-95F,(without it) since IM not there in the day time. Another issue I have no idea if the container water is leaking on me or what hard to say. Need to be careful that the floor is FLAT. Don't overfil, fill almost to the top max line. Usually lasts me 5-7 hours dependings on weather, I usually live it running the whole day. Edit: to save yourself a headache, don't buy this machine or any indoor evap machines. Go to homedepot or online amazon and BUY Hessaire 3,100 CFM 3-Speed Portable Evaporative Cooler (Swamp Cooler) for 950 sq. ft. or 350$ or the 550$ version, THESE are like basically in door SWAMP coolers which ACTUALLY COOL DOWN Your home! Needs to be ventilated a lot cause of moisture and plus works in 10%-50% humidity, just needs to be vented a lot of windows/open doors and such, WORKS SOOO AWESOME< puts my honeywell to shame... https://www.amazon.com/Hessaire-MC37M-portable-Evaporative-Cooler/dp/B00MYWQL96/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1533113033&sr=1-5&keywords=hessaire+evaporative+cooler&dpID=51H7b00-G-L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Best machine ever!

Important to note, it's not an air conditioner. It only works to cool when the humidity is low. That being said, I live in the central valley of CA. My daughter'sroom didn't seem to benefit too micah from our central air due to the position in our house of her room...2 exterior walls and a huge, old, single pane window. I bought this to try to cool her off a bit and am very impressed by how much it cools her room. We have to keep her door open so fresh, dry air is available to draw from, but that's not a problem. The fan without the cooling function on is very powerful and moves a lot of air. Easy to move also
