Its innovative triple-panel XeL50 media maximizes evaporation efficiency, delivering powerful, energy-saving cooling ideal for dry climates and spaces up to 1,600 sq ft. Designed for easy mobility and quiet operation, it’s the smart, eco-friendly choice for professionals seeking reliable comfort without the bulk or cost of traditional AC. ## Description The Hessaire 5,300 CFM Evaporative Cooler is compact in size, pleasing in aesthetics and the performance exceeds coolers of a much larger size. This performance is achieved through expanding air-intake areas to the hi-density XeL50 rigid media. These coolers have 3 media panels instead of a single panel found on most mobile coolers. 3 panels allow more air-intake area and reduce pre-rotation of the air to the prop, which translates into lower static pressure and more efficient air delivery to the prop. The hi-density XeL50 media provides 80% more evaporation surface compared to regular density media. This means higher evaporation efficiency and cooler temperatures. Note: This unit is NOT an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy and saves more on electricity costs. It is best used in dry climates or open spaces. Leave window/door open to limit the rise of humidity and keep better air ventilation in the room. Review: Excellent Evaporative Cooler - Awesome Evaporative Cooler. Im Glad I purchased this larger unit. Simple trick is. The cooler the water. The cooler the breeze. Its as simple as that. Great Fan. Easy to operate. Easy to clean. And YES! Only 3 simple controls. It's really that easy. People complain about build quality. Well. The unit is. General is surrounded by water. So minimal metal can be used. But its sturdy enough. As loud as your ordinary household fan. But it WORKS! NICE ball bearing casters that you install with provided screws. Love it. Review: Oh my god, YES. - Working in the heat? Is it dry?

These are completely dependent on humidity differentials. I've read tons of reviews and background. They'll work to some degree as long as the relative humidity is less than 100%, but you're probably better off with a non-evaporative cooler in Florida. They work like crazy in desert areas, but even then, they can only do a max of about 20'F difference from outside temp. They might work okay in concert with a traditional central air system, since that actually de-humidifies the inside air. But I don't know. **Q: How far does the air flow** A: I have ours on low and it cools from the garage door to the home door on the opposite side of the room. Very amazing **Q: would this work in garage in AZ? no window. won't keep door open due to snakes. suggestions for best model?** A: If you can, create some inlet and outlet. If everything is closed, you'll evaporate some, however, it will recycle the moist air, since it does not have any way to dry. Ideally, create an opening, perhaps with some bug screen to keep snakes out and place the cooler in front. You'll also have to have a way to exhaust the moist air, the hot dry air will eventually be converted into some laundry room condition. That's why there should be an exhaust fan of some kind to expel the moist air. I am running the MC37M for almost five years in northern Arizona. Whilst the cooler is simple, it has some design flaws. We have water that has very high calcium contents. The moisture / calcium can cause built ups on the electrical connector and puff, cause problems. This type of water can also cause higher maintenance costs, ergo every year new pads, possibly new pump. Lots of calcium layer inside the tank and on outside casing etc. In your case you might be better off with a window AC, but it always boils down to fresh air circulation. **Q: can I use regular tap water for this product? How many hours does it work if I fill up the tank?** A: Yes, tap water is fine. I take a one gallon jug and place in the fridge and when ready to use the cooler I empty it in the reservoir. I refill and place back into the fridge for next time. Immediate very cool air that last a while. I would say that about 3-4 hours on a tank before the pump starts sucking air. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Evaporative Cooler *by L***X on July 2, 2025* Awesome Evaporative Cooler.

Yesterday I unpacked it and set it up. No hardware was included with the castors - no problem, I have some screws and a tiny screwdriver. Filled up the tank - it is very large and a lot of waters goes in before there is any movement on the gauge. Once filled, I plugged it and turned it on. Pump worked, fan did not work. No problem, there is a small trouble shooting manual that comes with the unit. Unscrewed the back, removed the filters, found the obstruction that was blocking the fan, put unit back together. The working fan blows out a lot of lovely cool air. With a lot of noise. On the first try, the unit lowered the temp in the area I was cooling from 88 to 81 quite quickly. I'll continue to experiment with it in different areas to see what it can do. It is easy to see why it is called a swamp cooler - there is a definite swampy feel to the air in enclosed space (other than the open window behind the unit). The space I am cooling is quite large and has high ceilings, so the drop in temperature was pretty good, and it was fast. I have yet to figure out if its worth the price tag. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hessaire MC61M 5,300 CFM 3-Speed Portable Evaporative Cooler - BestAir 3BT Original Humidifier Bacteriostatic Water TreatmentÊ- 96 oz. 3 Pack - Youlvy Evaporative Air Cooler Cover for Hessaire MC61M / MC61V / M250 5300 CFM Portable Evaporative Cooler, Waterproof Portable Swamp Air Water Cooler Cover for Outdoor Air Conditioner --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/25874908-mc61m-5-300-cfm-3-speed-portable-evaporative-cooler](https://www.desertcart.us/products/25874908-mc61m-5-300-cfm-3-speed-portable-evaporative-cooler) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
