Just won a huge window evap cooler from a local hardware store (retail of about $460). I've always been afraid to try them fearing they wouldn't cool in our fairly high humidity here. So far we love it. 94 degrees outside today, 31% humidity, and a cool 74 inside. Been working like this for weeks. 74 inside even on a 103 degree day recently. Even working when our humidity has been over 60%. It really pushes a lot of air so there is a bit of noise from it, but it sure seems worth the trade. I just crack all the windows a bit and air moves pretty well throughout our 2,000 sq. ft. home.
Setting it up was a breeze and the inner workings are so simple even I can repair it.
People have warned me about mold and stuff but I have 2 in laws that have been using them for years and have had no problems.
Anything I should be looking for? Anyone else have any good or bad experiences?
