Compact Cooler for Versatility

  • ​​​Casters: The casters allow for easy maneuvering and positioning around the home, in gardens, garages, and more.
  • Standard 115-Volt Plug: Plug into any standard 115-volt power supply outlet.
  • Lightweight Design: Pick up the 16-pound cooler and go with the top-located carrying handle.
  • Compact Size: Because of its compact size, this cooler is also popular for camping, grilling areas, and sunrooms.

Simple Controls

A quick turn of the knob, and this Hessaire operates without any hassle.

  • Power Off: Powers down the swamp cooler with a turn of the knob.
  • Fan Only: Choose low or high fan speeds to operate this model as a heavy-duty fan without water.
  • Pump On: Turn the pump on for evaporative cooling at low or high speed.

Two Operating Options

Manual Fill
Manually fill the swamp cooler for indoor use by accessing the water reservoir through the front spring-loaded water fill door. Fill until you reach your desired level or until full using the water level display. Get refreshing air for up to 3–4 hours.

Automatic Fill with Hose
Automatically pump water through a standard hose (not included) by attaching the hose to the back of the unit. Secure the included hose adaptor to any standard household hose and fasten it to the protruding float valve on the back of the cooler, and you’re ready for hours of continuous use.

Additional Features

  • Adjustable Louvers: The front-style grill features manually adjustable louvers that can be moved individually to push air up and down at the same time. This feature is great for drying floors while providing personal cooling.
  • Rugged Exterior: The rotomolded polypropylene exterior is durable and UV-resistant.
  • Lightweight: At just 16 pounds assembled, it is easier to move around the home.
  • Water Level Indicator: Know how much water to put in and where the water level is with the water level indicator.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this cooler effectively reduces temperatures in outdoor spaces and garages. Many reviews mention its effectiveness in dry, hot climates, particularly on patios and porches. The unit is praised for its portability and easy setup, with users appreciating the garden hose connection option. While some note it works best within close range, most find it provides good airflow. The small water fill door and noise level are commonly mentioned drawbacks. Users particularly value its performance in desert locations and covered outdoor areas.

    I love this cooler best one on the market

    We use this in our backyard in the Las Vegas heat. 117% right now. This cooler cools the air down making it comfortable to sit on our porch. We have very hard water so the water pump goes out every couple of years. Easy fix. Just to keep it cool outside i have a spare cooler if the water pump goes out so i can replace the pump at my convenience.

    Great evaporative cooler for small homes.

    I live in a small house (250 sq. ft) and it was tough to find an appropriately sized evaporative cooler. After many days of research, I decided on the Hessaire MC18M. I found that Sylvane had the best price and after reading actual customer reviews (on both the company and the product), I knew I it was time to buy. The cooler arrived very quickly and in great shape. I was able to put this product in my window after making a shelf and it has worked really well since (inside they work best when they are able to draw outside air and vent air out another open window). The fan isn't overly loud (low fan setting) and I would guess it goes through about a gallon an hour in dry desert air (SW New Mexico) above 90 degrees. I have had zero issues so far after a good month or so of using it. The materials used seem decent enough and the design is pretty straightforward and simple. The only issue I have had so far is when pouring water in the side door, make sure to pour it slowly or it will splash out...the opening could have been a little bigger. I have not tried the hose connection yet since it is in my window and indoors. It has saved my dog and I from the relentless and intense summer heat that still continues. I hope this cooler will last for many years to come.
