Pros & Cons
Pros
As an evaporative cooler, it works best when humidity is lower than 60%. When the water is low, the cooler is less cool, so i tend to start it with two half-gallon every few hours before it gets too low.
The cs10xe is a powerful cooler that can circulate air in an entire dorm room, and the lovely breeze it creates is a comfortable refuge from the summer heat. Adjust the louvers so that the cool air is directed straight at you, and you feel a nice cold... Read More
I live in a place with dry heat but no a/c and this makes most days tolerable. It’s not like a ac that is really cold but keeps the room comfortable.
Cons
This cooler is essentially just a humidifier. With that it mostly just releases moisture into the air. Had zero cooling effect.
We're stuck with a pretty expensive hunk of junk. One positive is that it is easy to setup.
It is possible the one i recieved was defective. The motor is extremely weak and due to that it doesn't force much air to move. I have a vornado circulating fan that does a better job than this.
Highlights
Quality
Clean pads keep the air temperature cooler because more water can be absorbed into the pads and it's evaporation of water that cools air.
My most important tip is to adjust the louvers so that the cool air is directed straight at you, and you feel a nice cold breeze.
After a few days the motor became noisy.
Every cooler i've ever owned eventually springs a leak.
Price
I had purchased the little portable for 50$ this works 3xs as well, so i guess its worth the price!

)i recommend buying the inexpensive asurion warranty.
Note as opposed to an air conditioner, an evaporative cooler causes only a small change to the power bill, $5 at most.
Shipping
They got it to me 2 days early at the beginning of the heat wave so i am stoked about that!
Competitiveness
(some of the negative reviews seem to be referring to a cheaper model, perhaps a table-top model.
