Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Using the cooling power of evaporation, the Convair Cool Wind 600 cools and filters fresh outdoor air, then distributes it over 200 square feet for your comfort. Set in front of a partly open door or window, the cooler first pumps water from a 1.6-gallon reservoir through its cooling pad. A 2-speed fan then draws fresh air through the pad, lowering its temperature and circulating it. While air draws through, a filter traps pollen and dust before they enter your space. Simple to operate, the unit is both quiet and energy-efficient, using the same energy as a 60-watt light bulb. It's ideal for hot and dry climates, transports easily, and is made from rust-resistant polymers. It can also be used without water as a basic fan. Structural details include simple dials for temperature and speed control and a front-mounted gauge that indicates when the reservoir is low. The cooler measures 28-1/2 by 17 by 9 inches

A disappointment.
I bought two of these units to use in my small condo. When they arrived I was disappointed in the cheap construction of the units. When I tried them I found that they will barely cool one small bedroom. They are very loud when running. The water usage is what does the little cooling this provides, and it runs out of water quickly and has to be refilled often, so it doen't help through the night. I did not feel that my money was well spent. I have a couple of window fans that work better and were not nearly as pricy. If I could make the decision over again, I would not buy this.

Good for cooling bedrooms
I live in northern Utah, so virtually no humidity, and I thought this might help with sleeping on our few summer nights where open windows is not enough. I got good results with this unit by keeping a gallon of water "on call" in the fridge, and then pouring it in right before use. Then I'll take a couple trays of ice cubes, and dump them in to make sure the water stays cold. With those two steps, the unit will cool our room by about 5 degrees for several hours. 5 degrees is often the difference between sleeping vs. tossing and turning all night, so it's a success in my book. The fan itself is quite powerful and loud (which I like, because I need white noise to sleep, but others may not like it). This evaporative cooler is not going to cool down large rooms or anything, but it is perfect for our small bedroom. Recommended for the price.

Not as described
We have a lakehouse in the south with no air conditioner and I decided to purchase this for our bedroom.
I just read some of the other rviews and see a few people have the same problem I do. The unit is VERY loud. The review I just read said that it has to be fixed.
Mine runs out of water within 30 minutes and only puts off semi-cool air. One of the reviews say this is becuase of the hose. I bought this based on the description and it doesnt live up to the description.
So now it looks like I have to go in and work on this thing to make it right according to everyone elses reviews.
This is what is prompting my bad review of this product.
