Dreo Cooling Fan 40″ Evaporative Air Cooler

I have a small covered patio that faces the hot afternoon sun for 3 hours, so I wanted to get something to make the porch usable during sunny days. I have floor to ceiling sheer curtains to take the edge off the sun, but it blocks whatever breeze there might be, so I wanted something to circulate air and maybe a little extra. I tested this fan out today (86 degrees and sunny) and am pretty satisfied with the results. You do need to be sitting right in front of it in order to feel any kind of benefit in the direct sun, even with the reservoir topped up and icy, but this isn’t too surprising. It still offers cooler air than a traditional fan, and it makes the porch at least more usable. I am enjoying it now in the shadier part of the day (84 and no sun), and it makes the porch really pleasant rather than just tolerable, so I got my money’s worth. I don’t think I accomplished my goal of having a usable porch in the direct sun (it’ll get well into the 90s here soon, so if it was tolerable at 86, it’ll be uncomfortable at 90), but again, it does make the porch much nicer in the shade and tolerable in the sun if you’re sitting right next to it. I’d say keep expectations low: remember it isn’t an AC. It’s not going to cool a big space. Get it to take the edge off, but not much more. Cool idea and overall I’m happy.

para calor de la tarde no sirve sopla mas aire del exterior que el ventilador gasta mucha agua se requiere mucho hielo el compartimiento ni siquiera esta diseñado para que conserve el frio mas tiempo es muy complejo estar poniéndole agua el deposito es muy complejo de abrir y cerrar hay otros modelos mas prácticos que solo tienen una tapa para vaciar el agua y listo, la potencia de aire es muy débil hay que estar enfrente del ventilador para que se sienta el aire fresco, se tambalea con el movimiento natural oscilatorio, el producto en general es muy caro, no lo recomiendo. No cumple ni para ventilar ni para aire fresco.
