DreoEvaporative Air Cooler, 40” Cooling Fan 2023 Upgrade with 80° Oscillating, Removable Water Tank, Ice Packs, Remote Control, 4 Speeds, 7H Timer, Personal Swamp Cooler for Room Home Office

This really did help me survive the hot summer. It is not an air conditioner but it is very effective and powerful, paired with blocking window light and not running appliances too much. Again, not an air conditioner but a powerful affordable machine and a life saver for those dangerously high temps. I also enjoyed the humming sound for sleep. Mostly easy to clean

This is a great fan & well worth the price tag just for how many features it has, how ultra quiet it is & how well made it is! Even on level 1 or 2 (has 4 levels) the breeze is more than substantial & the air pushing out is COLD! And that’s just using it as a regular fan! When you add the ice packs & water into the tank this thing is basically like an A/C unit! I foresee it lasting many years & will be using it almost daily in the spring/summer.

I honestly don't know what the purpose of this is. I bought it because I needed a room cooled down that had no windows (if it had windows I would have used a window unit or something that could put the hot air out the window). I don't need it inside my house because we have AC. BUT instead of cooling my garage down it made it HOTTER AND SO HUMID. I work in my garage and was starting to feel sick from the heat when I realized the instructions say you can't use it in an enclosed space. It didn't say that anywhere on the page before I bought it. Now I can't even return it so I just wasted SO MUCH MONEY on something I CANT EVEN USE. Really disappointed. Hope to save people from wasting money on this in the future.

It works the best if you have the fan up to 1 feet away from you

Love, my DREO oil filled radiator heater. Swamp cooler works well. However, it has a small water capacity. You need to refill water and change ice two or three times a day depending on the temperature & your settings. Water tank is difficult to disconnect & reconnect. So I bring water to the cooler in bottles. Somewhat high maintenance. Cools one small room 5 to 10° depending. Probably best to supplement a window or central AC. Handsome and slim design with a small footprint. Multiple settings.

I’ve had a few evaporative coolers, and I think this one is the overall best. I like the tower style, it’s quiet even on high power, and although it runs through water a little more quickly than others so far (could be a lower humidity thing), it keeps me so cool that sometimes I have to turn it off. Think I might get one for each room.

By "med - large room" I mean the difference between a reg bedroom or a living room/dining area together. I filled the tank, set it on 3 (out of 4) and the entire living room/dining area was cooled off withing 1-2 hours and I live on the sunny side of a building. It gets really hot here. I then turned it down to a 2 and that's where it 's been for a week. The ice packs didn't do much. They take up room for needed water. I put 2 - 64oz bottles of water in the fridge and pour one in the tank when it gets below half a tank. You can easily see the water level on the front. If it cools off at night, you can turn off the water pump to save water but it still evaporates over time. I like the moist air at night for my sinuses.It's not silent but it's pretty quiet. A definite positive.I really like this fan but here's 1-2 bad things.The display on top turns off (lights go off) so at night I can't see what settings it's on until you press buttons on the remote or the fan itself. If it had a motion sensor on top to light up when it detects your hand, that would be great.As stated, the ice packs didn't make much difference if you're putting cold water in there regularly. They took room away for more water.Only one issue from a handicapped/wheelchair POV: The release for the tank on the back is all the way at the bottom near the base. It's hard for me to bend that low to open the back tank but it opens easily and closes/secures easily. It's also an issue for me to see the top of the fan controls easily. For someone standing over it, it's perfect. For someone who's eyes are basically level with the top, it's a little difficult but not too bad. Just a LITTLE annoying.I still recommend it. It's the best fan I've bought in years and is pretty quiet.

I think it’s widely known this is a top performing brand but what unique (in my opinion) is that this fan has a compartment for its ice pack (provided) so it blows ice cold air while the ice lasts. The ice does not last long on really warm days but does blow cold air for about two hours. Additional ice packs would be helpful.
