Holiday Gift Idea 2 of 10: Hessaire swamp cooler

All right, this is something called a swamp cooler. It's a unit that you could use to cool, usually an outdoor space like a deck, or in this case, my man cave garage. What's special about it is you fill the tank in the front, there's an opening here. You just stick a hose in there and fill it up. You can see the indicator at the bottom tells you how much water you have in it. And after you fill it up, you just have to turn it on and it'll start circulating water through the unit itself. And then there's a fan to blow it. And optionally, you can swing it back and forth. Now, I've tested to see how much it affects the temperature, and the answer is hardly at all. Barely touches the temperature in my garage. But because of the feeling of the cooler air passing over your body, your sensation is that it's 10 degrees cooler. So if it's 90 degrees out and you like it to feel 80, this would be exactly what you want. And this is by Hessair Cooling Solutions. I have no experience with any other models. I'll just tell you that I've had zero trouble with this. And it's really easy to use. It's just fill it with water, plug it in and turn it on.
