Honeywell CSO71AE 176 CFM Indoor Evaporative Air Cooler (Swamp Cooler) with Remote Control in White/Gray
August 12, 2017 - Comment
The Honeywell 176 CFM indoor evaporative air cooler offers an energy efficient cooling option when the air is hot with low humidity, such as desert areas like the southwestern United States (recommended humidity level is 60% or less for maximum efficiency). Honeywell evaporative air coolers do not require power hungry components like compressors. The low power consumption (only 50 watts) translates into significant savings on energy bills compared to using air conditioners. Just unpack, add water/ice, place near open door or window, plug it in, and use. This unit is ideal for indoor use in open environments with adequate cross ventilation up to 100 square feet. Multiple fan speeds and oscillating louvers evenly distribute cool air through the honeycomb cooling media while the carbon dust filter cleanses the air. An evaporative air cooler is not an air conditioner as it does not use a compressor and refrigerant gas. One should not expect an evaporative air cooler to work as effectively as refrigerated air conditioning. However, the advantages of the evaporative air cooler over refrigerated air conditioning are: low purchase cost, low electricity usage, and maximum portability. For those living in more humid climates, consider portable air conditioning units or window air conditioners.

This Swamp Cooler Works! But 100 Square Feet Cooling Capacity Overrated First off, I will point out that this unit is a Swamp Cooler (also known as an Evaporative Air Cooler), ** NOT ** an Air Conditioner. I couldn’t help but notice after reading through many Swamp Cooler reviews written by other customers that many people (1) simply don’t know the difference between the two, and (2) don’t know that Swamp Coolers will work well ONLY in DRY climates (where the relative humidity is 40% or less a good part of the day).
Best…Purchase…EVER!!! Attention!!! Needs to be cleaned at least once per month! I use this everyday for at least 5 hours. When you start to get a funny smell I drain, add distilled white vinegar and wash the media once per month. I do this in the bathtub and it is easy to clean. Just allow time for parts to fully dry. I put the media (filter) outside in the sun to “deodorize” to avoid odor. I use dish soap to clean filters. When you do this it avoids a “smell”. This was waiting for me when I got home…
I’ve had it for maybe a couple weeks now and so far it seems to be doing a good job. However This actually works very well. I’ve had it for maybe a couple weeks now and so far it seems to be doing a good job. However, you really need to understand how to operate it properly to get the best results. Here are some notes to take into consideration:
