I work in a warehouse where daytime temperatures often hit 102F, and sometimes soar to 118F. My workspace is open, with no walls, so installing a traditional air conditioner is not an option. Fans are useless - they just blow hot air around. That's why I bought this JRD evaporative air cooler, and it honestly saved me this summer. Its cooling method is simple and effective: it uses water evaporation to reduce the temperature of the incoming air. I keep it right next to me. Every day, I fill the 2 gallon water tank and toss in the included ice packs that I keep frozen. The built-in pump then circulates the water to the top, allowing it to flow down and fully cover the cooling pads behind the air intake. As warm air passes through, it's cooled significantly. This cooler runs for up to 14 hours, which easily covers a full workday. It's compact, which is perfect for my limited working area. It doesn't take up much space, yet it delivers powerful, consistent relief. For anyone working in hot, open areas, this is a must-have. I've relied on it all summer long - highly recommended and absolutely worth five stars!

The cooler is wonderful, with a ton of room for water and ice so it lasts long hours without the needs to refill. Very efficient and produce enough cool air to drop the temperature in the room. Great alternative for AC and seems quite environmental friendly.

It's perfect for its size and blows out some really good air. The added wheels help for moving it around. It functions with ease, it's not too pricey.

Water lasts around 4–5 hours if I use the cooler mode. Longer if I just use fan.

The cool mist feels great, especially at night. I actually fall asleep faster with it on.

Bought this to use in the garage while I tinker around. It keeps me cool without blowing dust everywhere.

I like the simple look. It doesn’t look like a big appliance taking over my room.

It’s a bit bulky, but not heavy. Fits well in the corner of my studio apartment.
