NewAir AF-330 Evaporative HEPA Swamp Cooler

You've officially saved me from the summer heat. My apartment window AC recently quit working and i needed something to keep me comfortably while I waited to get it fixed. This evaporative cooler was the answer! I can definitely feel a difference when I have this on and have seen my energy usage go down. The controls are simple to use and it's pretty compact, so I put it away in a corner. I'm considering using this as my only source of cooling this summer because it works so well. Have recommended this to all of my friends. Thanks for offering a great product!

I use this device to condition the air in my home via humidifying, cooling, ionizing and purifying the air. I love everything about this product's quality, performance and features, which are the large capacity 13 L water reservoir, ice tank for extra cooling, selectable fan 3 speeds, continuously sweeping air flow, 8 hour programmable timer built in ionizer, carbon and HEPA filter, minimum maintenance, operates on 85 watts for pennies a day, cooling capacity and air delivery of 18 feet, dimensions, weighs only 18 pounds, color, large rolling casters, electronic or manual control, easy to read LCD display screen, push button control panel, full function remote control, easy operation, operates on standard 120 VAC @ 60 cps and reasonable purchase price. I can not find anything I dislike about this product.

I received my NewAir AF-330 cooler in a few days ago, and was thrilled - temps here in AZ are already in the mid-80s, and we're only in March, so I was looking for a way to cool off at night without having to turn on the dreaded A/C. I found this unit on here, and it sounded perfect - I love the idea of the ionizer and HEPA filter, and with our two cats, the carbon odor filter sounded like it would be a win, too. I unpacked my unit when it arrived, and was surprised at how light weight it was - it will be easy to move up and downstairs as needed. The water fill is at the top of the unit, and compared to some of the other units I've seen, it was a breeze to fill. Several large pitchers of water later, and my water level showed about halfway. I turned it on, and cool air began to blow. It was great! Then, about 30 minutes later, I noticed that the air was still blowing, but didn't feel as cool anymore. I turned it off, figuring that maybe I was just getting acclimated to it, and left the house for a while. Came back, started it up, feels good. Then again, a little while later, just feels like room air. Being a bit of a DIY'er, I decided I wanted to see what the insides of this thing looked like so I could figure out what was going on. Here's where it gets weird... So in most evap coolers, there's a pad (corrugated paper or the like) in the air flow, and a small water pump seeps water onto the pad. This cooler is completely different. There's a loop of fabric-like material (my wife informed me it appears to be Zorb fabric) that loops around two rotating bars, and as the fabric rotates around, it dips into the water reservoir at the bottom, gets wet, and then rotates up into the air flow. Ingenious idea, honestly, if it worked. The problem was, at least in my unit, the "loop" of fabric was too loose, and so when the rotating bars were turning, the fabric was not tight enough against it to turn as well, so no wetting was occuring, and no cooling was happening. Enter the serger...I took off the loop of fabric (its removable to be able to wash it), serged a seam to tighten the loop, and then flatlocked it back down to the loop to make it nice and smooth. I noticed as I was reinstalling it that it fit much more snug, and I had to give a little tension to it to reinstall the rotation bars. Put it back in, and voila! Been sitting here for the last few hours enjoying nice, cool, moist filtered air. Overall, I love the unit, and am considering buying another one to have in different rooms of the house. But be aware of the potential "flaw" in the system, and know how to use a sewing machine. ;)

It is a nice product but it does NOT cool unless you keep adding ice. Great as a fan but not as a swamp cooler

I just bought this unit and all it does is blow the hot air in the room around. It has no cooling capability at all. I checked the pad and it is wet but there is no cooling. I have a thermometer in the room and it actually gets hotter in the room with this running. Don't waste your money! I will be returning mine.

It does a good job good air throwing power but three months after using it STOPPED working...power light don't come on anymore can't get it to work not good.

set it up in house,put in a gallon of water and it leaked out a gallon of water on my carpet,water level hose not hooked up,messey.

I live in Texas and work a monthly trade show in outdoor pavilions. My particular area is actually over a creek and it's 100+ degrees outside and humid. During July and August, the vendors are just trying to survive. You have to keep you space. Swamp coolers are everywhere. I wanted one that made it easy to load ice which is the secret. Others have little trays or slots that are ridiculous. NewAir is perfect and comes with an ice tray to boot!

I just received my unit today. First I could not tell by the water indicator how much water was in unit. The instruction book didn't help, so I have water leaking out of the bottom of the unit. I don't know if I over filled it, or if it is a defect. I now have puddle of water all over my floors. A very expensive lession about buying items from places I am not familiar with. $160 dollars down the drain!

Just received it doesn't oscillate or cool go back

I've been looking for a way to keep my Apt. cool as summer is approaching. You see, I can't have those portable AC since it will need an outlet for the exhaust pipe so, I have to look for an alternative and find this air cooler here in Air & Water. True to their words, the shipment comes as expected w/o delay and damage (3days). I live here in Canada. The product is perfect! cools the whole bedroom. And the design is classy. And they are nice on the phone you won't have difficulty reaching out to them.

Perhaps the best feature was the customer service! Amazing!

It worked just as we hoped it would and kept our server room nice and cool while the air conditioning was off.

I was not sure the product would do the job. But it does!!! I am very satisified with the 330 evap. and have recomended to people I know. The price was reasonable and within my budget. Thank you Air and Water.

This unit is in the Bath and is absolutely perfect for keeping the area cool, and the air clean with the combined ionic & filter system.

Bot this last year. After unpacking and setting-up. I removed the back to see if working properly, as there was very little sense of moisture or coolness at the fan output. I feel this is a well designed unit, but my unit is missing something. It could be that the media pad tracks to one side and air is just pulled in from the open end - rather than through the media(fully) ? I've not messed with it, but it gets use on hot nights in the bedroom.

I've sweat for six summers in the upstairs bedroom of my townhouse. Your E-cooler is just what I needed. The people I work with should write this review because I'm a much nicer person from finally getting some sleep! They'll confirm that it is an awesome product! (Quiet, cool, easy to operate and cute to look at, too!) Thanks!

We live in Tucson and we have had an early summer. The machine has a strong fan and is quiet. It is easy to use, right out of the box. However, the material that is suppose to get 'wet' dosen't hold the wettness well, thus not providing the cooling as it should. I do not know if it can't handle Tucson heat which seems to be the case. We will be going to a higher eleveation where we expect it to work extremely well. It is meant for a 'dry climate'. If the company can change the 'pad' this would be the most wonderful unit!!!!

This is our second one [for a differnt location]. It works very well and I would recommend it anyone. Afforable, too.

This cooler is "ok" for its size. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and bought this in case of an emergency as the summers here are brutal. I read the other reviews before purchasing this cooler. Overall the build quality seems quite good. The instructions are simple too. This unit is only rated to cool a rather small area (100 sq feet if I recall correctly). I was impressed that it uses very little water. The downside to this feature is that the "cooling" it produces is somewhat marginal but it is better than nothing. Ice cubes can be used to help wih the cooling but I haven't tried this yet. Overall this is a good product you just have to understand its limitations and I would consider buying another.

attractive, good size water continer, can clean air filter, cools well. ice tray option, quiet, very fast shipping, arrived in perfect condition, good for the high desert that i live in. timer, 3 fan speeds. ionizer option, energy star rated.

If your thermostat is not next to a hot window you need these. It is easy to operate and performs great. I think Im going to get another one

good product for the money. very portable and cools well.

I decided to ignore the recent reviews on this product and try it out. BIG mistake!!!! This doesn't push out cold air...even with ice in it.

Just recieved it.. filled it with water and ice pluged it in and presto. Definately feel the coolness and like the ions. I purchaced this to hopefully bring down my electric bill and see now that this will work. Thank you, Anthony, Fort Lauderdale

We have been using this product going two years and have been very happy with the cooling properties. The air in our home feels much fresher and cleaner.

Do not buy, literally is only a fan. Putting ice inside it as well as very cold water did not change the air. Was unable to blow cold air at all, let alone work like it's advertised. Do not buy, spend a bit more for one of the winder A/Cs.

Bought this cooler for a few reason, The HEPA filters help reduce some pet dander, and normal stuff in air. Also for what it was recommended for. It sits in the computer/office room. This happens to be a south west facing room so it does get warm (hot) at times during the San Diego East County Summer sun. We bought the cooler and within 30 minutes had cool air being pumped into the room. We guessed that it might take a few hours to get the room cooled however, it only took 1.5 hours to get a 23x13 square foot room cool to a nice working temperature. The feature of having ICE to help keep cool was nice and also helps not having to turn on the full AC. So we have been very happy with the cooler.

I replaced a unit that was "portable" but in fact, was bulky and hard to move around. In addition to our very hot summer, we've got a construction site going full blazes right next door. This unit with the ionizer and filter has kept us cool, and kept the dust way down. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (And by the way, it rolls around like a little champ and requires so much less water than the old one. We love the remote as well!)

this cooler has nice design just wish it cooled. Great humidifier but does not lower air temp at all?? Called in very nice easy to Deal with folks offerd to exchang or take back unit.

Received product and waited until the next day to set it up and use it. The system seemed to work but the water pad was not getting wet. Called Customer Service was told that pad needs to be soaked to get it to retian the water for usage. Soaked the pad until it was thoroughly wet. Turned it on again, checked pad and the roller was working, the pad was dipping in the water but the system still did not performwith cool air. Put an ice block in the ice area and still not cool. Checked the pad again and it was dry but was dipping in the water. Soaked pad again for a longer period. Pad was even dripping when I put it on. The pad stayed wet this time but did not come out with cool air. Now I have a very expensive, fan with air purifer but not an evaporative cooler. (Have two other floor models of a different brand and they work perfectly).

This product is no more than a fan enclosed in plastic! the performance is terrorable it doesn't cool at all! If you are looking for a cooler this is not the one!

The cooler took less than 5 minutes to set up, including opening the box and filling it with water. It's easy to use and makes a big difference in my small house. And it looks good, too!

This product save on electric bill. In addition to that its purify the air in room by removing particles from air . It s also remove humidity from air in room and deliver fresh cool air. The air became much cooler ,when add ice in ice tray .

Paid way to much for something that didn't work any better the a box fan

I purchased the evaporative cooler with the hope that it would provide cooling and added moisture over a regular fan at a lower price that A/C for a 300 sq ft room. With the product reviews being high for this cooler in all respects, I felt confident in my purchase, until I ran it for a day straight without any noticeable "cooling effects". This cooler did not provide any cooler air flow or improvements over my standard oscilating fan. I even tried the addition of ice, which was stated to provide additional cooling--I noticed no difference whether or not ice was added. This being an evaporative cooler, after a day of running it, you couldn't not tell a difference in air moisture either. So I was sorely disappointed that this product did not provide what it stated it would in terms of cooling. On the pro side, the unit was easy to move and operate and quality seemed to be good. I was sorely disappointed that the cooling effects were not present, as I otherwise liked everything else about this product. However, I can't justify the amount paid for the same cooling I get from a regular fan. Not sure if this was just the particular unit I had or all these units are like that.

As a renter, I have encountered many different kinds of windows that must be used to ventilate an air conditioner. Not all window types are condusive to air conditioners. An evaporative cooler is a great alternative. It can be moved from room to room and is light weight as compared to most portable air conditioners which are rather heavy. This product produces a gentle and cool breeze as opposed to the frigid air one often finds produced by many ac's.

I bought this cooler to help cool my garage but the cooler does not have media that soaks up enough water to provide cool air. Instead of a pump the media is cloth type that rotates like a conveyor belt down into the base of water with a fan sucking across it. This would be sufficient if the fan was behind the media instead of in front of it. No cooling but if you need a quiet fan this is great.

use to supplement our air conditions with temps of 100degrees-very humid in NC-able to keep temp set higher but remain comfortable-we were aware that it did not work as well in high humidity-bonus room over garage always hotter-worked very well in this room-i would buy it again

Received the item quickly. Free Shipping. Easy to use.

Great portability! I like that you can use either water (I use ice water) and/or ice. It certainly is not an air conditioner and is not as efficient in higher humidity but I knew that from the reviews before I bought it. It is definitely more efficient that a fan, which just blows hot air around. There was some relief. I plan on trying this unit in the winter to add some humidity - there's a lot of static electricity during the winter. I would purchase more units for all of the major rooms if I could afford to.

Don't expect this product to do an air conditioning job. this is a strong fan, an if you put ice water in it, it is about 50% better than a fan. For the price i paid, it was a good purchase.

This cooler was reasonably priced and has been a good choice for the area that it was purchased for. It was easy to set up and easy to use. It arrived very promptly, much sooner than promised and I am happy with the product.

like it a lot but the cooling feature is just not effective.

For the price, you can't beat the AF-330 to cool smaller rooms. I would not recommend it for larger living rooms (over 500 sq ft), but it works well for bedrooms and other smaller rooms. When the humidity goes up, its effectiveness is diminshed like you would expect from an evaporative cooler, but otherwise does a fine job. I was able to shut off my 2nd AC and use the AF-330 in its place. I think if I purchased one for each room, over the long run I should be able to save on eletricity costs - I'm still experimenting with that so we'll see. Overall though I defintely recommend the AF-330 for smaller rooms.

We live off the grid in a 400 sq foot home. The cooler worked well, even now that we are in the moonsoon season. It was rated to only a 150 sq foot space. Water seems to last, and if you are really hot, the ice tray helps. Uses about 50 amp hours on low and 80 on high. This, if you are off the grid is very manageable . Happy with the product...Would recommend.

I am very happy with my New Air swamp cooler. I like the fact that it is small and can be moved from room to room by rolling. It has various settings for how cool you want it. It is well worth the price and I would recommend this product. Enee Nolen

it work very well here in Az 112 F thanks to you all im cool now.

I like this cooler for its simple construction, ease in filling the tank, and the ice block feature. It's easy to move from room to room. All of these coolers are very loud, but this one is less annoying especially at the low setting. Overall, it's better than I expected, and the price was a nice surprize.

I have had other kinds of evaporative coolers in the past so maybe my expectations are higher than most people. If you are looking to cool a room, than you should not buy this cooler. this cooler does NOT use a water pump to circulate the water in the cooler like most better products i have seen. it uses a roller and cloth to pick up water, which it does a poor job of doing. the cloth is not very absorbent. I wish I had not wasted my money on this product for now i have to go buy another one. I had even placed a thermometer in front of the cooler, and the air is no cooler than the air temperature inside the room.

First let me say that I am very impressed with Air & Water--the delivery time was amazingly fast. It's not them that I'm bummed about. I'm really disappointed because after reading all the fab reviews, I thought I had found a good portable evap cooler. I DO KNOW about evaporative coolers--have a large house-unit that we've used for the past 10+ yrs in our Colorado home. It makes the house COOL, sometimes even COLD. So my expectations may be high. Our house is an 1100 s.f. Craftsman with the "master bedroom" towards the back off of the kitchen. The evap cooler we have is in the middle of the house and cools off everything extremely well, except for the bedroom. The cool air can't travel around corners too well. We have floor fans trying to direct the air there and it helps somewhat but not really enough. Hence, the reason for trying this cooler to put in that room (approx 100 s.f). It's loud and blows air but doesn't make the room significantly cooler. Even ran it an entire day while out and came back to a warm room. Tried with doors closed and with open. Ice/no ice. No difference. Doesn't seem to actually put any significant amount of water in the air (running 3 days now on about 1 water fill-up)-- which is what cools off dry air. Hope this helps you make your decision.

This my second AF-330, the first one was so great I purchased a second one. Very quite and inexpensive to operate as a compliment to my Air Coditioner. My power consumtion is notiable lower now that I have both units in sevice. I live in Yuma, so use the unites to cool the house in the mornings, th AC comes on at least two hours later than in the past and turns off sooner.

I'm in love with this swamp cooler and my guests appreciate the pleasant moist cooling in this dry LA climate. It's easy to use, attractive, inexpensive and has never gotten the fungusy smell I was concerned about. A great value!

We use this as supplemental cooling on te lanai. It works well and provides just enough cooling to assist the normal AC.

IT is very easy to move around and works great. I really like that fact that it has an air ionizer and the multiple speeds and remote make it even nicer plus the price was right!

Machine pretty good, my buddy has the same one but a couple years older. I'm not sure how well it cools down stuff but at least it cleans the air. It's a bit loud, got to turn the TV up quite a bit. I bought it for 123 bucks and not sure if I threw my money away. Please read other reviews, I'm on the fence bout this machine, I think a fan does about the same cooling job as this machine, at least it's energy efficient.

My NewAir AF-330 Swamp Cooler is great! Quiet and easy to use. Works well in our area that has lower humidity.

I like the quietness of the running motor. It does help cool the air when the days are hot and dry as they get in CO.

I purchased this portable swamp cooler for our garage, as we have converted it into a family room while we have an extra child staying with our family. It cools fairly well, I wish it did not have to be restocked with ice quite as often. For the price, I am quite satisfied with it. I also appreciate the fact it was ready to go out of the box, and is not heavy.

We use the swamp cooler in our restaurant's kitchen, very inexpensive to use, makes a huge difference for the person on the grill...it was recommended to us, but was hard to believe how well it would work until we plugged it in, runs 10-12 hrs /day 7 days /week and cold air - all day long - with ice cakes we make in our walk-in freezer!

I am very happy with this unit. It does an excellent job of cooling. I'm happy to see the swing feature move the vents and not the whole unit. This is a great buy.

I recently purchased the AF-330 Swamp Cooler as a low cost alternative to buying a more expensive portable air conditioner. I was hopeful that it would provide some needed heat relief in an upstairs room of my home. While it does lower the air temperature I expected more, given the ratings I reviewed before purchasing the unit. The price and quality and reliability are good but I wish it provided a bit more cooling. Given this though I would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of unit.

Bought this to replace a bigger cooler that I purchased at Big Box Store that broke. It's smaller than what I'm used to and is used to primarily cool Master BR. Have to set it on 2 or 3 to cool. I set timer and works well with just the fan on 2 setting. I like it because it's not heavy when filled with water. It's sufficient to cool a medium size room. It serves its purpose.

I use this in my 700 square foot apartment that has an open living room and kitchen. It does help make both rooms several degress cooler which is nice on warm days. The drain plug is a little difficult to remove but you don't have to drain it until you want to store it, so not a big deal.

Hello, I use the AF-330 in my rental house in Los Algodones, MX. it works just fine, the only thing is the oscillate does not work. Every thing else works just fine. It adds the right amount of moisture to the air, along with the A/C. it is very hot and dry in MX. This time of the year, and it does what I intended it to do. Thank you.

Bought the product to save on air conditioning, but was pretty disappointed with the cooling. It doesn't really cool much unless you sit right in front of it. That being said, I am sneezing a lot less in the mornings, and really do love the ionization. It has helped with my allergies and the air smells better in the room with the Swamp Cooler. Make sure to empty out water to keep it fresh. I bought an air conditioner but am keeping this as well.

I cannot rate this product as yet, too much humidity this season and it caught us off guard. The machine doesn't really work in this weather. As for the store, the order was handled extremely well and shipped fast. Product was in perfect shape when it arrived. I really hope this thing works because the company is well worth shopping at. Thanks.

This swamp cooler works great here in the mountains and helps humidify the dry air. We have no air conditioning and this machine is a must have.

The unit works fairly well here on the east coast. Using unit in a new four season room that does not have air conditioning in it. When it is 90 or more degrees out you can see a temperature decrease, but it isn't like if it was an air conditioner. Still it is better than when we didn't have anything in the room. We have had a really hot summer here and I would recommend it. Didn't get an air conditioner because of the large size windows we have. Plus the barn siding is just too nice to make holes in for air conditioning. This is the next best thing.

Some times blows hot air but overall it does work okay....it is better than a regular fan....but not better than an actual air conditioner.

This cooler has helped get us through the heat of the summer.

We realize that this product is intended for use in dry climates with little humidity. We had a new four season porch that was not ducted for air or heat. We were relying on the adjacent vent. The room needed more. We were exposed to the swamp cooler in New Mexico and we were very impressed. We hope that it would work as a supplement in a home that had central air conditioning that would keep the humidity down and allow the swamp cooler to work. This was in fact the case and even on the high 90 to low 100 degree days our porch remained comfortable.

This air cooler is used in a small office area for one person. It functions well, is relatively quiet, and is a good buy if you cannot vent an air conditioner in a particular location, but want to cool the air. Just remember, it is meant to make the air feel cool, NOT COLD.

I absolutely love it! I have three rooms in my home that don't have air conditioning. The tower fans I had weren't cooling the rooms. With the swing feature and capability to add water and ice, it's WONDERFUL!!

Only limited opportunity to really give the AF-330 a workout--but your company functions in an outstanding manner with customer satisfaction obviously the top item of priority! When I had to return a unit because it had a manufacturing defect, you shipped a xmlnsnt on the same day I registered my problem, not waiting for my return to arrive at your business. I was back in operation in a couple of days! Your personnel were extremely courteous and efficient and made certain that I was properly cared for. I'll be back and I'll tell all my friends and associates how well you function! Thanks VERY much.

I use my cooler in my second floor bedroom. I've lived in my townhome for 28 years and have dreaded the summer months for sleepless nights due to the upstairs HEAT. My cooler is quiet-love the timer and by adding ice how quickly it cools the room. Thank you.

Extremely efficient in this mountain weather. My wife was skeptical, but after our electric bill, she was happy we didn't get an air conditioner.

I use this product in 4 my bedroom its perfect!! I don't always use the cooler because the fan is strong enough at times! So this is perfect 4 me!

This particular unit is good but only when used in less humid places. It must be used based on the humidity levels. The conveyor belt that is in the unit must be working in order to pick up water in the unit and blow out cool air. I had that problem with the unit as the belt was not working. Considering all the other issues like design, equipment, appearance it is good.

Cheaper than portable AC unit, way cheaper to operate than AC unit...I use in restaurant kitchen near the grill, makes a huge difference. I'm very happy should have bought this long ago!

I love the product since I also have a swamp cooler on top of my house, and love in a dry valley. It makes it nice to have one inside. Yours is easy to use and works great.

I have bought three coolers over the last two months from Air & Water! All great products that arrived within a week of ordering. You guys are great!! My mom and her Rottweiler love the two coolers I gave them. I kept this one as it is a little smaller than the others. Keep up the good work!

I like this cooler very much. They finally figured out you don't have to move the whole machine to swing. The louvers are very nice. Lots of features.

Unit arrived quickly and was easy to set up. I was surprised to see that there was no owners manual included and that I had to go online to print it out. It is very efficient and easy to use. It puts out very cool air and is very quiet in the room and does not over-power the tv. Very happy w/the unit.

This works great. We use them in our bedrooms and it keeps them cooler. These are very quiet. They are easy to use and do a great job!

Good product, good price. I bought this swamp cooler for my mom who lives in a small 700 sq foot apartment. It helps cool down both her living room and kitchen by over 5 degrees. Only trouble she has had is the drain plug is a little difficult to get off but you don't have to drain it very often so not a big deal.

This cooler has not only cooling but has ion function that feels surrounding air fresh and works fine even high humidity. But need to have heating function that makes more valuable.

I purchased this because the swamp coolers at my local big box stores kept breaking down. I had to return 2 different brands/models within a couple weeks of purchase because of the quality of the products. This is a smaller cooler than what I purchased in the past. However, it does cool a room when it's in the highest setting for the fan. PROS: Easy to fill water reservoir due to smaller size. Easier to wheel around when full. CONS: Set to high to feel the cooler working. Overall good product. You get what you pay for. I would recommend.

Used on carport to keep air circulating in 90+ temperatures. Makes the area available for use and our two dogs lay in front of it.

I live in a 2 story home.. I have my home office on the bottom floor. I was looking for a cooler to keep my office cool and I found this swamp cooler. I keep it my living room, which is right off from my office. The temp. dropped about 15-20 degrees since I purchased it. I love it and it doesn't require a lot of attention. I like it because we live in a dry desert area and the air seems lighter and feels cleaner. I'm very glad I purchased it. Thank you for a good product for a very reasonable price:)

It took me a little bit to learn but it works very well cools up my living and bad rooms enough to enjoy this little unit. And yes I will recommend it.

I like the swamp cooler. I use it in my bedroom. With the ice, it blows nice cool air, however the fan is not strong enough to blow the air as well as I would like.

I'm using my cooler to keep my living room cool during the day and then when I need to I can move it to the bedroom at night. It works really well as long as the humidity levels outdoors remain low. Once the humidity levels rise, however, like all swamp-type coolers, it is less effective.

Overall the NewAir Swamp cooler was a good investment. If it gets no hoter than 82 degrees outside, you have yourself a nice air conditioned room. But if its any hotter then bank on sitting RIGHT in front of the cooler to feel some sort of comforting breeze. Still I would recommend it to anyone living in an apt that does not have air conditioning or allow window ac's.

It helps on hot dry days, but doesn't really drop the room temp at all. It's like a nice fan.

I live in a very dry environment, and the product definitely helps to make the room more humid. It doesn't work as well as I would have thought to cool the room off, but it works okay. I like the large tank; I only have to refill it with water every other day or so if I have it on constantly.

We have a home office on the second story of our home, south west corner that gets a lot of direct afternoon sun. Prior to getting the cooler, I couldn't work in the room past 3pm, it would get so hot. The unit has been great in keeping the room cool and comfortable and allows me to much more productive. Thanks so much!

I am afraid the product did not work for me. It was no better than a $20 fan I was using.

We have been using the cooler and it appears to work, we add ice every day rather than water. Improves performance.

Product did not work at all when it arrived. It blew air but no cool air. The company made an exception to their restocking fee policy and refunded my entire amount. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I love it. It does everything I wanted it to do. It cools my whole apartment and the best part of it is , if I move I don't have to leave it.

We use the Swamp Cooler to cool a finished upstairs attic room. Although this room is air-conditioned it is always hotter than the rest our house because of its location. Even during periods of high humidity which is the norm in SC summers, the Swamp Cooler has kept the attic room much cooler during the hottest part of the day than the box fan we used previously. We are completely satisfied with the performance of this product and regret not having purchased one sooner.

Does not put out as much cold air I was hoping but then again I am in a humid area. Better for drier climates I believe. The company is reliable I would purchase from them again.

I like the principle. But the development leaves something to be desired. The belt that goes into the water sticks and doesn't carry water up. There is no way to tell if it is working without taking the back off of the unit. This is the sole reason I would not recommend it to a friend. I am willing to work with it. Most would not even know why it is not cooling when the belt sticks. I was actually going to send it back except they told me I had to pay the freight. I would never order another one.

My sewing area has always been a hot area. The bright lights and little ventilation have kept me from afternoon sewing. Now, my area is cool and I am able to sew at all times. Thank you.

The cooler would work well in temps below 90 degrees ( it gets hotter, here). During the heat of the afternoon, it seems to add heat to the room instead of cooling it. I am happy that is does not have a pump, but that design is probably contributing to the lack of cooling delivered. I may return it for another product. Wonderful service from the folks on the phone !!!!

Using this when the heat is high is not at option. It does well at night. It will not cool the 5th wheel when the sun is up - it works at night. The hepa filter in it severely restricts the air flow - works better without it. Can be removed. Cannot seem to see there is any ionization taking place. Water indicator is very difficult to read causing overfill. It works for the price!

Perhaps the problem is that this area of Virginia is too humid. The NewAir lowers the temperature in a 12 x 14 room only a few degrees, even using ice.The product might be quite effective in a region of the country that was less humid.

Very easy to use. I like the fact that it is quiet. Keeps a small room cool like a bedroom but a larger room need to keep ice available. Overall it is a good product.

This product did not cool much at all. I am familiar with swamp coolers, and felt this product was rather ineffective. The square feet of the area to be cooled was within the quantity indicated in the specifications, but the product did not meet its mark on cooling. At all. I am sorry I spent hospital funds for this product.

I am disappointed because the cooler does not cool the air. I live in the dry southwest and the air has not been cooled in my small bedroom apartment. I will be returning the product.

This is just the right size for the front room. I really have enjoyed the product. I fill the ice compartment and it cools at least 10 more degrees. I do want to thank John -- he was very helpful and pleasant. The fast delivery service was great.

As a fan, the AF-330 works well. However, it is practically useless for cooling. I tried everything: filled the water tank, put in the ice block on top, checked the wiring. Nothing. The air coming out is room temperature. At least it ionizes, which makes the air in my small window-less office smell fresher. It's effectively solved the stuffy air problem in my office, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who really needed to cool a room.

The equipment is a cute one. It has good number of features on it along with a dinky little remote. Easy to handle and also easy to move from place to place as it is light in weight. It is going to work well in less humid places effectively but not in Denver. In high humid places it will just blow the air like an ordinary ceiling fan or a table fan. Places where there is no humidity can definitely use this product as it is reasonable and works excellent.

I use it when its still "cool" enough that I don't have to turn on the overhead swamp cooler in the morning and at night. Also with the other swamp cooler, for spot cooling. It works very nicely when directed towards me while I'm sitting or lying down. Doesn't really make the space itself much cooler, so when I'm doing housework it doesn't really make a lot of difference, compared to a fan. I like the ion feature. It is easy to move and I move it frequently. Easy to fill. The "swing" doesn't work and, the way its designed, I don't see how it can. I wanted it to work as a humidifier too but it doesn't put out enough water to cope with NM dryness by itself. I will have to use it along with other humidifiers in the winter. I received it in a timely fashion and it was in good shape.

I like my purchase and it really delivers. Makes a little noise when the blades are moving(air flow).what's more difficult for me is emptying the water to refreshen the water in the reservoir I have a little back problem. And makes it more challenging. If you have any ideas you can share to make it easier, pls. email it to me, i'll appreciate it. I have been away, I didn't have the chance to do this survey.

I like the AF-330, it keeps my living room area very cool.

Nice swamp cooler.

Before I bought the new air af-330 swamp cooler, I bought tayama brand but I have to return it 3 times with different problems till I gave up on it and this is just a span of ten days. Then I bought a sunpentown brand at frys but it seems that it's just a regular fan, the tayama brand even produces colder air than sunpentown. While having sunpentown, I ordered new air af-330 swamp cooler and it arrived 2 days later. The design is way better than tayama or sunpentown. No need to worry about spilling water while moving it. it produces colder air and the ice compartment is great that you don't have to mix it with the water and water will last till you wake up in the morning not like the other two. once i tried the new air af-330, I went to return the sunpentown at fry's and ordered another new air af-330. i already have centralized ac but it's not evenly cooling the house and these swamp coolers are great to compensate the difference in temperature where needed. i even set the ac to a 3 or 4 degree higher than my regular setting because it is somewhat cold if swamp cooler is on at the same time and I know by just doing that, i will save more on my electric bill. So far, everything is working perfect and looking forward if my electric bill will be way lower this year than last year.

Works very well. Certainly cut down on our cooling expense as we don't have to run the AC as much.

The pump went out on my portable swamp cooler, so I decide to replace it rather than take the time to have it repaired. The web site was very easy to use, the price was good, the item was delivered within 24 hours but, it doesn't cool at all!! The $15 floor fan that I got does a much better job. It is quiet, but takes too much floor space for just being a fan. I will be returning the product. I will see about repairing my old unit or maybe trying a different brand. Thank you for your interest.

Does not cool 100 sq ft of room despite putting ice. It just blows cool for couple of hours until the ice melts.

I love my swamp cooler. I keep mine in my living area which is a good size room. It keeps the room very comfortable in this Texas heat along with the average sitting of 78 on the thermostat for the central air. I would recommend this product to my family and friends.

You boast an "easy to read water level" for this machine. For the life of me, I can't find it, & if I think I have found it, then the display doesn't work. I've had 3 major floods on the living room floor because I can't see the water level. Despite that, though, when fully iced; in it's "ice only" compartment, & set to "cool" this machine is a cut above all the other portables I've ever had. It shoots out cold air from all sides, when programmed to do so, but, the remote control lacks a "swing button". SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A REMOTE IF ALL FUNCTIONS ARE NOT REMOTELY AVAILABLE.??????????????????? So, it's a mixed review. Could be better but, it's hard to find "perfect" in this unperfect world.

Unit doesn't cool. I have tried ice water with ice and it still doesn't seem to make any difference, I thought I would save money buying this. Now just wish I got an a/c unit. The room I am trying to cool is 11 x 15 and this doesn't do it at all.

I got the AF-300 and it keeps the room much cooler and is very low noise. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I use the cooler to keep my living room cool and comfortable during the day.

I purchased this cooling unit for my garage to help our dog beat the heat while she's in our garage during the day. The unit runs at the highest fan speed all day and still doesn't exhaust the water tank. Adding ice to the unit helps cooling. Easy to use and very effective. The garage doesn't get frigid, but the air still gets cooled more than simply cracking the garage door.

The New Air swamp cooler is fantastic!! We don't have a/c and our 2nd floor bedroom gets hot in summer. It's not to big or ugly, and it cools our room and the entire floor tremendously! Easy to use, a little noisy when it's on high, but well worth it!!! Wish I'd bought it long before!

I bought the unit to cool an average sized bedroom (10x15) and found it to be marginally effective. The air is only slightly cool and the fan is much louder than I expected. On the up side it was one of the cheaper units, shipping/delivery was quick and spot on and the ion air filter was a good touch.

This product was purchased for three purposes. Increase humidity, filter the air, and cooling. The centrifugal blower is a plus although on medium and high speed it is a bit noisy for a bedroom. Low speed is fine. The air filtering capability is good. The rotating water pad required some conditioning to start holding adequate amounts of water but was fine after a few days. The humidity is very low in Arizona this time of year but the maximum temperature drop I could record was 1.8 degrees F. It would be nice to see a pad designed to hold more water and have a greater surface area contact with the air. Maybe some cotton strips sewn on the pad to flap in the breeze would help evaporation.

Remember that I am from Southern New Mexico! I have a central Swamp Cooler in my house, which was broken. I know how swamp coolers work. This machine works as well as a fan. It maybe made the room 5 degrees cooler, that is with ice. Do not waste your money purchasing this product!

We use this on our porch here in the high desert and it really cools down the area. This unit is very simple to use. Being able to add ice makes it all the better.

Although I love the air filtering and ion capabilities, I find this unit to fail at cooling a room. I expected my one bedroom apartment to be overcooled when in fact my living room isn't cool enough unless I run my air conditioner with the swamp cooler. I am somewhat miffed and let down.

Seems to get the room cool (night temps, have not reached triple digits yet), hope the unit is as efficient with the higher temp.

I really like the AF-330 Swamp Cooler. I have it in our home office and it really cools things down fast. We tried it in our bedroom, and for me, it was a bit too loud to sleep with, even on the lowest setting. The noise level, even on high, does not bother me in the office. We also bought the AF 310 Tower Fan so I tried it in the bedroom and it's perfect. It doesn't seem to get quite as cool as the AF-330, but it is very quiet and the height is nice for a breeze over the bed. I also love the humidity it adds to the air... I wake with younger looking skin!

Right now I am using in office for cooling and air filtration. I chose this unit because it would do both. I like clean air. Have not run it a lot as the weather has been cool, however, this weekend we are going to the desert and plan to take it along. So far seems excellent.

I read the reviews (positive and not so positive) prior to ordering three units in April 2009. Because of the milder heat in No. California this year we did not really need to use all three units until the 95+ weather this weekend. I have an upstairs condo with about 975 sq. feet. The one unit is for the living room and if on swing and close (about 8 feet away) does the job and keeps us cool. The bedrooms are fairly large rooms and cooled off so much we had to turn the unit off! The remote came in handy! With our floor plan, we get the morning sun in the living area and the afternoon/evening sun in the bedrooms.

I just love my new swamp cooler, this is keeping the air inside cool, fresh and clean. Thank you.

I lived in Arizona for several years and was familiar with Swamp Coolers. Now I am Alabama with extremely hot weather also. I have a 2 story home with 2 separate cooling units. Since only 1 room of the upper level is used, I find it very expensive to run the AC for the one room. I am using the NewAir Swamp Cooler to cool this room. It performs to my expectations and is very attractive too. I have just received shipment today an additional NewAir Swamp Cooler which will be used to cool a tent for my 5 Teacup/Toy Poodles when they are outside in the play pen /tent area when we are camping. Thanks for a great product.

I purchased the swamp cooler to use for my pets.

I use the swamp cooler in my bedroom. I literally put it 2 feet from my bed to get the "cool" air. I have a thermometer in my room, and it reads the same as the AC setting for the house (the thermometer is right next to my bed too!). I'd likely get the same results if I put my tower fan 2 feet from my bed as well, but the tower fan doesn't have wheels, so it's more annoying to move around(by the way, the ceiling fan AND tower fan are running simultaneously with the house AC and swamp cooler!). If I'm going to have to put the cooler that close to me to feel its effects, I'd likely go for something smaller that could sit on my nightstand.

Hands down!! For the price, it's worth it. It's whisper quiet and more powerful, than I ever imagined. The 3 in 1 aspect is awesome. A fan, ionizer and a humidifier. What a great investment.

Am very happy with product. I first bought one last year and have been very pleased with it. My son bought a different model from a different company and his broke after about 2 months of use. I bought him one like mine this year and he is very happy with it. We use them constantly although we have to turn off the cooling feature late at night or it gets too cold. Although later in the summer that wont be an issue. They run pretty much around the clock during the summer months and hold up to the heavy load.

The size of this unit makes it convenient for small to medium sized rooms, but it is still powerful enough to cool the space. Overall, a good product for a smaller room.

It works great...but I had to ship it to Texas then re-send through UPS to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska...that's dumb. We are a part of the USA :-(

This unit is nice in appearance and has lots of attractive features, however it simply does not significantly cool my 100 square foot shed. With the doors and windows closed (roof vent open), it actually made the room hotter. It did seem to be mildly effective with a door open but no where near what I have experienced with previous evaporative coolers (I expected it to take of 10-20 degrees off the ambient temperature in 10% humidity but it did nothing, even when using the ice feature). It is about as effective at cooling as a simple fan. I should have listened to some of the other reviews. Also, the display lights are so dim I can't see which functions are selected most of the time.

Coolest fresh air. Product works perfectly love everything about this swamp cooler I've personally purchased four of these. Would totally recommend this to any one who's hot in the home or workplace. Thanks air-n-water for all your help.

We use the product in our bedroom and have noticed fresher, cooler air and a much cleaner smell. Thanks.

I love all the features and water capacity, 3 speed fan, quiet operation, humidity, cooling ability, remote control, color, and size or everything about it.

Overall a very good product. It cools the room pretty quickly. It is mobile which I like as well. Only issue is it is a little loud but I got used to that.

When we received this product, we were excited and set it up immediately. After experimenting with the speed and direction options, we felt very little difference in the temperature of the room (we have an atomic clock). Then we used the ice tray and it did cool the room somewhat. After doing more research on this model and talking with customer service, we knew then this model was too small for this room. We have since sent this model back and ordered a larger unit to satisfy the size of our bedroom.

I have already recommended the NewAir AF-330 Swamp Cooler to family and friends. My daughter was here from Texas last year, and used it in my upstairs bedroom and it cooled the room and kept the humidity nice. It is a very effective unit with nice features and easy to use.

We purchased the AF-330 Swamp Cooler last summer for our summer home in Lake County, California. We were very disappointed with its performance. It does not send cool air to our room. The pads take hours to get wet and putting ice in the cooler does not help. We called your company soon after we purchased the item and were told that it was working properly. For our needs, it is not working at all.

This is a great swamp cooler. It keeps us cool in the summer and is easy to move.

I received my NewAir last Aug. since then I have used almost everyday during the summer I used it to add coolness in the hot summer nights. This winter I have used to put moisture back in the air at night so the forced heat doesn't dry me out. This is the first winter in years that I haven't had bronchial problems and yes I think it's because of my NewAir. Thank you.

I use it in the summer months which start at the end of May till the middle of October. I love the AF-330 because it is easy to drain, move around, change the water and clean. The thing I don't like is: When cleaning inside the unit, the plastic parts inside are sharp!! I have cut or scraped myself a lot. You could round the edges off so you wouldn't cut yourself from the sharp edges. Also put a clip on the two screws that retain the rear excess cover so the screws don't come unattached. I also think the fan blade pitch could be changed a bit for quieter running. Very noisy unit!! It does make the room comfortable to sleep in.

I think the swamp cooler will work great when we have hot weather again!

This portable swamp cooler is user friendly, easy to fill with water or ice in separate sections and cools the air to my satisfaction. Living in the Mojave Desert where daytime temps can get into the triple digits, this unit is able to keep my bedroom as cool as the rest of the house. I have no need for an AC unit.

No miracles here. This unit does provide some cool air and is refreshing to have on, when you are close by. I am not convinced it does much in the way of actually dropping the ambient temperature and I live in a dry climate (where the unit should work best).

This was probably my biggest purchasing mistake ever. I tried the unit with water only and then with a tray full of ice in an attempt to cool my garage/workshop last summer and it just did not prduce any cooling. I think the high humidity levels at that time defeated the unit and it stands virtually new and unused as an obstruction in my garage to this day.It will likely be scrapped and put down as a sad and expensive experience. When I can afford it I will get a proper portable air conditioner.

I've lived in Yuma, AZ now for over a year and I bought two of these units around June of 2009. Yuma is very hot during the summer and it can even be humid from time to time but when I used these units by putting water into the tank and using the ice block as directed there was absolutely no difference in the air temperature. Just to verify that it wasn't the humidity affecting the units I used them during the winter here as well (average temp in Feb is around 65-75F with zero humidity) and they still have no noticeable temperature change. I believe it's the rotating water pad that is used in the units...I don't believe there is enough air flow through the pad to create the "swamp cooling" effect or the pad is not absorbent enough to retain the water. I will consider different units next summer.

I have this down my basement and it really cools the room down. I'm very happy with this and I would highly recommend it. It's made very well and well worth the money. I like it so much that I will probably buy a second one.

I have a work-shop utitlity room and it gets so hot in there. Needed something more than just a fan. It is amazing. It cools the space very well. I am very pleased! It was bigger than I thought it would be. But has a nice style and looks attractive. it does a fine job and the price was excellent. You all shipped the very next day and received it on the day that the fed ex tracker said that I would. Very quick turn around. Thanks so much.

I am a day sleeper, and with the summer coming upon us, I was not going to have another summer of hot sleep. The performance of this product is great! Its quiet, and very efficient for its small size. What I like about this product the most is that I don't have to make it fit into a window. The cooling and humidity for my very dry climate is wonderful. Now, I'm looking forward to a summer of cool day sleeping. Thank you!

This is a great product. The description is completely acurrate. Nice powerful motor creates great cool air for small spaces. Great design. It's a little hard to see the water level since the tank is black and the water/ice entry is a bit small but not enough to aggravate or sway my decision to buy another one, if needed. I would recommend this products to others seeking some relief from hot weather but being on a budget. Thanks! My shopping experience was great. The website was easy to navigate and the prices are great. I even got a discount! Lastly, the shipping is supersonic fast and my item was packaged well!
