Info & Guides

Description

Cut cooling costs with the Hessaire MC61M 5,300 Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM) Evaporative Cooler. This mobile evaporative swamp cooler is great for use in hot, dry climates or for those who want to lower their reliance on air conditioners in industrial environments. Capable of cooling the air in spaces up to 1,600 square feet, it’s ideal for use in warehouses, garages, workshops, or outdoor decks and patios.

 

Three-sided cooling media allows it to disperse more air than other coolers without sacrificing performance by expanding the intake areas to the high density XeL50 rigid media panels.

See Sylvane's Expert Review of the Hessaire MC61M Evaporative Cooler


Note: Evaporative Swamp Coolers are most effective in dry climates with average Relative Humidity of 40% or less.

Manual Control Panel

  • Fan/Motor Speed: Use the dial to adjust the fan speed between Low, Medium, and High.
  • Pump: Push the rocker switch to engage the pump, which will saturate the rigid cooling media.
  • Air Swing Delivery System: The air swing delivery system pushes air from left to right with the horizontal louvers.
  • Fixed Palm Grille Design: This specialized design helps to direct airflow in several directions.
  • Power: Turn the swamp cooler on and off with the power rocker switch.

Commercial + Industrial Applications

Weighing only 57-pounds, it’s easy to roll from area to area on its heavy-duty caster wheels, which is convenient for rolling across bare concrete flooring or rough, uneven floors. Standing just over 3 ¾ feet tall and 1.4 feet wide, it provides a powerful performance without taking up a lot of space in mechanic shops, warehouses, hangars, and more.

Simple to Operate

With easy-to-use controls and quick maintenance, you’ll always have high capacity indoor/outdoor cooling at the tip of your fingers.

  • Manual Fill: Manually fill the unit through the spring-loaded water fill door into the 14.6-gallon tank for 3 - 4 hours of constant cooling.
  • Continuous Fill: Opt for the continuous water fill option, which allows you to enjoy automatic fill with a simple garden hose hook-up.

Economical, Smart Cooling

Lower the temperature in medium-sized work environments without the need for costly air conditioners. The Hessaire MC61M provides cooling to areas up to 1,600 square feet without putting a dent in your wallet.

Unlike other swamp coolers that only have cooling media on 1 side, this portable evaporative cooler features high-density rigid media on 3 sides. The cooling process happens when air is drawn into the unit and passes over the pads. The cooled air is then pushed out on 3 sides of the unit and into your space.

Powerful Airflow

You’ll enjoy powerful cooling relief with the mobile MC61M. Created with unique features from Hessaire, it’ll deliver up to 5,300 CFM of airflow to the areas you need it most. An innovative cupped axial fan design ensures plenty of cool, fresh air flows through. Additionally, the air swing delivery system propels air throughout the space, using left to right louvers.

Additional Features

  • Water Level Display: The easy-to-read water level display next to the door lets you know when the tank is full.
  • Top Tray: A multi-functional top tray provides a useful place for storage of tools and other objects.
  • Cooling Pad Notification: The cooling pad will occasionally need to be cleaned. When attention is required an indicator light on the control panel will let you know.
  • Easy to Drain: Water can be quickly removed from the cooler by removing the underside drain plug.

Sylvane's Expert Take

Cool indoor and outdoor spaces up to 1,600 square feet with the powerful and economical Hessaire MC61M Evaporative Cooler.

What Customers Love

  • Powerful Airflow: Whether used in garages, workshops, or even outdoor patios it’ll provide 5,300 CFM of powerful airflow where you need it most.
  • Multiple Fill Options: When used indoors the 14.6-gallon water tank can be manually filled or connected to a standard water hose for continuous operation when outdoors.

Things to Consider

  • For Medium Sized Areas: This evaporative cooler is great for use in spaces up to 1,600 square feet. For larger spaces consider the Hessaire MC92V 11,000 CFM Evaporative Cooler that cools up to 3,000 square feet.
  • Caster Unpacking: The durable caster wheels are stored inside the unit for transportation and will need to be installed before the cooler's first use. Lie the cooler down to expose the paneling where the casters, caster screws, and hose adapter are stored.

    I would buy this product again.

    This machine is amazing. Blows nice cool air. Only negative thing would be the water tank fill door. Seems would break easily but only time will tell. Other than that everything is cool!

    Yes, this is the second one that I have purchased.

    This is the second M61 that I have purchased. I have had no issues with the first one, but a little motor noise on this one (when I first start); I'm sure if it goes back - it will be repaired. I actually have three Hessaire coolers in my backyard - really wish they were all M61 size. Purchased a smaller one - it's ok but I like the larger unit and the air that they move. Guess I answered the question if I would purchase again - this is my second one.
