Very Large Indoor Areas and Outdoor Spaces:
Sometimes you have a very large indoor space that you need to keep cool but you also want to keep energy usage to a minimum while providing all the cold air you're likely to need to stay comfortable.
While there are dedicated indoor models that are perfectly adequate for inside the home, it's a good additional bonus to be able to get a unit that will also do a great job of cooling work spaces like a workshop or garage, or even completely outdoor spaces.
Like terraces, patios, porches and even around the pool or barbecue area. Now this is a machine that can output a huge amount of cold air fast while still only using a fraction of the energy that a similar size AC would use.
Honeywell CO60PM
This surprisingly compact, good looking unit has an enormous 15.5 gallon water tank capacity and can cool a space of up to 850 sq ft and works indoors and outdoors. It's the perfect cooler for open plan homes with large open spaces, large workshops and garages as well as larger office spaces.
The best side of this model is its versatility when it comes to wheeling it outside onto the patio to keep everyone cool on those really hot summer days when there's no natural breeze.
Remember: High Humidity Stops Swamp Coolers Cooling
Lastly, please remember that these coolers will not be as effective in areas of high humidity. Always check with your local weather station to find out the average humidity levels in your area.
If it's too high (above 60%), you may be disappointed with the performance of this type of cooling device. In that case, a traditional air conditioner may be a more effective way to stay cool during hot weather.
While evaporating coolers can still produce cold air in slightly humid air, you can increase their effectiveness by leaving a window open to ensure the excess moist air is allowed to circulate out of the room.
