Even though after shipping it is a bit pricey. I love this thing, my husband complains that it gets to cold! My house is 1,400 sq feet and it cools every inch. I live near Phoenix AZ where its a dry and miserable heat, this machine keeps me comfortable all day and night. I havent seen the electric bill for this month, but it is supposed to be very energy efficient. It looks a little cheap because of the basic tan color choice and it sticks out pretty far from the house. We have it in a living room window and we needed to plant 3 trumpet flower bushes to cover it up. If you dont have help, Id have the driver drop it right where you plan on installing it. When the motor is on high, its a little loud but nothing that should deter you from buying this. I love it, overall one of the best purchases I ever made.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Does what its supposed to do.
,PostedAugust 29, 2011
Shipped quickly and the delivery person helped move it to where I needed. Kind of disappointed in the build quality of the unit, as in cheaply made, but that is no fault of Home Depot. The vanes flex instead of changing direction when you try to adjust them. I thought it was a complete kit, but you will have to buy the spigot and line to connect it to your water supply. Once hooked up and running, the unit works very well after you've figured out how to balance the flow by opening a window. This unit replaced a similar Adobe brand cooler that lasted 25 years. We'll see about this one. All in all happy with my purchase.
Yes, I recommend this product.

this is just a wonderful cooler. but we noticed on our black sofa which is next to the cooler that it would have small dirt like particles after the cooler was turned on. We found that just rinsing the cooler pads was not enough, we took a small air filter and taped it to the back side of the front panel. now it keeps all the dirt out! works great. We live in the high desert and dirt and wind are a real problem. this cured that problem. I love this cooler.

Great Cooler!!!
,PostedJuly 1, 2010
I have read mixed reviews on this cooler so far, but I think it is outstanding. I live in Northern New Mexico and it is very dry and we have had record high temperatures this season. It keeps my 2000 square foot house cool when set on high setting. We just crack a window in the back room and it works great. We tried a portable AC and it did not work at all, but this is a great buy considering it was $50 less than the portable AC we purchased. It seems to be very durable and was easy to install. It does take at least two people for install because the unit is fairly heavy. One downside is that it does not come with the vertical duct conversion kit, but it can be ordered free of charge from Champion. Also, you have to supplly your own water hook up kit. In 90 degree heat it is keeping my house a cool 68 degrees. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COOLER!!!! GREAT PURCHASE!!!!!!!!!!

Works good new
,PostedJune 4, 2010
I bought this cooler two years ago. In that two years I have had to repair it about 10 times. The end of last year I would have to rap a cord around it and pull start it. If I was to use it this year it would need a new float, new motor, new pump, new belt, new bearings, and pads. I have also install the Master Cool product and they seem better made. This coolers sheet metal is so thin the sheet metal screws strip very easy when adjusting the belt. Buy some other one, this is garbage
No, I do not recommend this product.

Review (Part 1)
,PostedMay 31, 2010
I have just installed this unit over the weekend. I had ordered it online and had it delivered to my rental in Placerville, Ca. (HOT and dry during the summer months). The installation was a breeze, but... I was replacing an existing evap. cooler so the plastic water supply tubing and suspension chain was already in place. (If this is a fresh install for you, plan on buying and installing enough of the plastic water supply tubing to reach from your water source to the unit. The unit comes with a bag containing suspension chain, hooks (for anchoring to wood) , a float and drain tube, and two metal rods for spacing the bottom of the unit away from the house.. Also includes some plastic side panels but plan on making a custom one for the sealing if the installed cooler.
Hoisting it up to the window would be doable (but awkward) with one strong guy and a jack, but... talk a friend into helping you hoist it up. Literally, just hoist it in place, connect the support chains, position the spacer rods on the bottom of the unit, and the hard work is all done... (takes about 5 minutes if you had already mounted the chains to the wall).
The power plug is the standard 3-prong 110V type, so make sure there is a outlet close to the installed unit that you can plug it in to...
Soooo.... I'll post again about its cooling ability for the 1200sqft house when I get feedback from the tenant. For now I'm pretty pleased with the unit....

i live in the desert where a cooler is necessary. i bought this one to replace an old one. It was easy to install and worked great. the remote is convenient and easy to use. the duel speed fan makes the output adjustable. i have owned this product for about a month and it has already quit working for no apparent reason. it is spring right now so i haven't even been using it full time, just for a couple hours here and there. i have completely checked all connections, possible fuses, and the outlet is getting power, it will not turn on at all.
No, I do not recommend this product.

What a great way to cool down the house, My friends helped me install this unit a week ago, and tested it out when we finished, I was very impressed with how quickly it cooled the place down, it was very quiet too, the remote feature is very convenient as well. It stays up over 100 everyday in the summer so it will make it much more tolerable.

I was tired on dreading my electricity bill every month and decided to do something different this summer. I ordered this online on Friday night and had it in my window by the next Friday. Home Depot delivered it in less than a week. We are cool and not worrying about what the electricity bill will be. It cools over 2000 square foot house easily. It was easy for my son and me to install ourselves. Highly recommend this product!!!!

Very pleased with this unit. Have a 1500 sq ft mobile home, and can feel a drastic cooldown even in the farthest room. Would recommend that you also get the install kit (SKU 440353, and add a needle shutoff valve SKU 130826 if this is a first install). Unit is very quiet in operation. After seeing how well this unit performs my sister is also purchasing this unit for her home.

i live here in AZ with temps in the 100 degree +. electric went up last year by 40% so this unit will save me a ton of money in the dry months. really great construction with all the adjustments any one would need. the remote control saves me on walking up and down stairs to turn unit on and off.

the BEST $$ Saving AC
,PostedJuly 7, 2008
Michelle36
We have Central AC and a Window AC. We removed the window AC and put this swamp cooler in and I will never have to run my Central AC again this summer. We have a 2,200 sq. ft home and this cools off the entire home as long as you leave one of the windows open in a rear room so that the air will travel throughout the entire home. This is saving us $250 month on our monthly electricity bill. So it will definetley pay for itself after 2 mths. What is also nice about this cooler is that you can use it as a fan at night time when the air is cooler outside. It is like having central AC in your home but with a Breeze in the air as well. It's very cold air too! It's wonderful, it's a lifesaver. I recommend this product for any size home. This product pushes a lot of cold air through your home all day long and I don't have to worry about how much my electric bill is going to be anymore. Awesome Investment!!
Yes, I recommend this product.
