What Customers Are Saying

The evaporative cooler provides effective cooling performance and efficiency, able to cool large spaces even in hot climates. Users appreciate the low operating costs and reduced utility bills compared to traditional air conditioning. However, the installation process can be challenging, with difficulties aligning and securing the back panel. Some customers also experienced issues with the control panel and remote not functioning properly. Ongoing maintenance, such as regularly cleaning the water distribution system and pads, is required to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance.

Works great, but requires maintenance

Would Recommend

I purchased this evaporative cooler towards the end of 2019 just out of curiosity. I have lived in a hot, dry area for thirty years, yet I never even considered using a "swamp" cooler. Always struggling with the heat, then only using AC as a last resort and complaining about the electric bill afterwards. Since having used this Mastercool evaporative cooler I must say that I am quite impressed with what they can do and feel like an idiot for not having purchased one sooner. Installation went fin...

Mixed feelings

Would Not Recommend

Got this cooler as I like the idea that it can't rust, and I have 4 other metal swamp coolers that I take care of. Rust is a big issue. Installation was not easy (directly into the wall) and the instructions were poor. But we got it in. The back is a bear to get on, really poor design, and a two person job. But my main issue is that the low fan speed did not work, it just shut off but the light was lit. Called customer service, they were polite and helpful and sent me a new controller. I install...

We needed some moisture in our house and we were not getting it with the hvac system we had. This was a simple set up that fit in our window, lightweight and delivers cool air to the house.

poor quality control and cheap float valve

Would Recommend

The front grille has 4 screws connecting it to the assembly, however only 2 were fastened leaving one side of the grille flapping loose. The body of the float was plastic and the 1/4 in. fitting turned loose in it not allowing the rest of the fittings to be snugged. Also the control panel keeps falling out of place. However after connecting the grille replacing the float it works very well. Very quite on low.

Still working great after 6 years!

Would Recommend

I love this cooler! I live in a small, vintage house (1940) and got tired of the fans-in-windows at night/close-everything-up during the day routine, but the expense and waste of A/C seemed ridiculous, as did the giant metal box coolers that are half the size of one of my rooms and ugly to boot. A handyman and I installed this in about an hour, and I did need his expertise regarding the plumbing bits and extra shims of wood needed to stabilize the unit around the window sills; it also took two...

does not live up to hype

Would Not Recommend

I bought this cooler 3 years ago and gave it away after the 2nd summer! I have AC but was tired of the $200 bill each summer months for electricity. Yes, my electric bill went down a little after installing, but you have to stay in the same room to feel ANY cooling benefit. And yes we followed window venting and other suggestions. We still turned on the AC at night for cooling relief to sleep. The mfg. suggests changing the pads every 2 years, Yeah right! Even with a Calcium block water softe...

Great cooler - working very well!

It's been in use three months now with the following: The float that came originally with the unit is useless, we replaced it with a standard cooler float and solved that problem (the standard float has a larger float, I think that's what made the difference.) Can't say much on the installation as we hired a crew for the initial installation. It's cooling great in a 1000 square foot mobile home that sits in direct sunlight. Even with temperatures in the 110 range in Tucson it kept the house ...

Junk

Would Not Recommend

Would throw in the trash, but since I paid $500 will keep and deal with this the best I can. Pump went out at a month. Have adjusted the float 3 times and it still runs. Will NOT buy another one like this.

Cleaning fan and trying to take off front, is risky and difficult. Do not find a solution in owner's manual. And it's yukky. Especially being so close to humans and animals. Anyone have a suggestion?

Good cooler, cheap parts, helps to be handy.

Would Recommend

I've had this cooler for about a month, and after proper set up it works very well. It keeps my 1200 sqft house 20-25 degrees cooler than the outside. I put it in a second story window, and I would not have been able to install the unit with another person helping me. Once the unit was in the window, I was able to level it, secure it to the house, and get the water line setup by myself. I secured it inside with the included brackets to the windowsill. I also used a 2x4 between the windowsill a...
