VAGKRI Swamp Cooler, 2100CFM Evaporative Air Cooler with 8 Gal Water Tank

I live in Central Texas. It gets hot in the summer. This brings the temperature down to where it is tolerable. When I'm mowing the yard and I get too hot, I go sit in front of it and it cools me off. I recently owned a Portacool Cyclone 110. It was alright but it would only move the air out on one side. It was good for only one person it was aimed at. It was loud and I paid much more for it too. This cooler is far better. Much quieter and cools the air much better. The oscillating feature is really nice for keeping a larger area cool. It seems to cool the area much farther away from the unit than the Portacool did too. I am extremely satisfied with it and bought a second one to use in another location. Update 08/05/2026: This is the forth year I've been using these. Still going strong. Last year the pump slowed down on one of my coolers. I disassembled it and cleaned the inside. I must say, they do not make this an easy task. I found a video in Spanish that showed how to do it. Although I couldn't understand the Spanish, the video alone was enough to show how to do it. The cooling pads inside get caked with mineral deposits from hard water and make it less efficient in cooling, in my opinion. The pump inside sits in a porous sponge like material that gets caked with mineral deposits making it less efficient allowing water to pass through to the pump. After cleaning the filter and pump, it pumped the water again like it was supposed to do. At the time I cleaned mine, there were no replacement cooling pads available for purchase on Amazon. I cleaned the inside mineral deposits on all the parts with Sanivac then rinsed them well. I placed the cooling pads in a large mixing pan and soaked them in white vinegar for several hours. After soaking them, I rinsed them well and put them back inside. The one I cleaned cooled the temperature down 4 degrees lower than my other one that I did not clean. Even after four years of use, they still cool the outside temperature down by at least ten degrees. The replacement pads are now available on Amazon. I purchased a set for each of my coolers. I run these everyday during the summer months here in Central Texas. I love mine. I don't understand all the negative reviews. When mine finally do quit working, I will not hesitate buying them again. I also have a large metal type swamp cooler in my shop purchased at the same year that I bought the Vagkri's. It still cools well too but has already started rusting out on the outside. I paid much more for it than I did the Vagkri's. It might last another year before it starts leaking water out the rusted out holes. Being made of plastic has it's advantages.

I've had this unit since april 2026 the pump gave out on me in july 2026 so contacted customer service to purchase a pump replacement and they sent me 2 free pumps (because i wanted to buy2) for free with installation guide. No charge. Other than the pump not pumping water correctly. It works great on hot days in my shop. I recommend

It does pretty good at cooling, but the ice packs deform very badly in the freezer. Be sure they are bone dry before putting them in the freezer and even then, they'll still likely burst.

Absolute junk! Pump stopped working within two hours. After two months a $30 refund, because it would cost me $100 to return the unit, they shipped another pump with no instructions. Can't take apart something that was never made to take apart. This company and this product are the worst.

I received my cooler very quickly and it was easy to set up, connect the hose, turn it on and voila! Have been using for a while so I can say that it works great and it is very energy efficient. In the Arizona 118°F dry heat, this guy has been working non stop for up to 16 hours, to keep a small outdoors space cool -with perfect humidity for my patio plants, with no real impact to my energy bill. When something went wrong with the water pump, I got a replacement sent to me immediately. The customer service from this company is top notch.

Awesome cooling fan, work very well at first, stopped turning on before 2 months. Reached out to manufacturer, they got back to me the same day. That's "cool"

Bought this product for my store during the summer and it’s was great and very effective even while working near stovetops and fryers. Last almost a full day on a full tank. Even the regular mode without cooling is very nice as well. The customer support is amazing when needing assistance .

We use this in a summer house where it is very dry and there is a 30 ft ceiling. It keeps the house at pleasant temperature in the heat of the day. Have not even had to use ice packs. I like that it has wheels and I can roll over to sink to fill and roll back to its spot. Customer service is quick to respond.

I live in a warm Condo and this is perfect and works excellent. It cools my place and works so good. Once you fill it up with water and DON’T EVER OVER FLOW the water or it will spill through the sides. Use it as a cool fan but when you want it ice cold put a freezer pack in the top and WOW does it get colder and right away. I love this unit and near a window or not it works fantastic. Thank you for making such a great unit. Ron from Canada.

Me gustó porque refresca bien el área y es fácil de mover gracias a sus rueditas. El control remoto ayuda bastante para no estar levantándose, y el tamaño es ideal , patio o cuarto grande. Se siente práctico y funcional.

I received this swamp cooler approximately 1 month ago which I placed in an outdoor greenhouse that is 16 1/2'W x 60'L and approximately 17'H. Shortly after setting up the cooler my area underwent a heat wave and for the duration I used the cooler to maintain a reasonable interior temperature. For the hottest day (approx 36 Degrees Celsius) I had it on level 3 and it was able to keep the greenhouse temperature to below 29 degrees Celsius which , given the significant air movement generated by the unit, was much cooler than what had been the case in prior years. I suspect that, used in a similar space but with a normal height ceiling (8 to10 feet) the cooling generated by the unit would have been significantly better as the overall space being cooled with have been significantly smaller. I intend on purchasing another unit once these are again available in my area and would certainly recommend it.

Used this cooler for only about 15 days before the water pump failed. After storing it over the winter and taking it out this season, the fan works but the pump no longer circulates water, making the cooling feature useless. I paid a lot of money for this unit and expected far better reliability than 15 days of actual use. Very disappointing quality and durability.

Super recomendado, me ha funcionado demasiado.
