No other portable evaporative cooler compares to the Convair Arctic Breeze 1500 for affordable high-output cooling. With a wider cooling range than other similar evaporative coolers, the Arctic Breeze lives up to its name, providing refreshing relief from the sweltering summer heat.

Non-corrosive polymers mean you can enjoy all-season comfort without worrying about rust.

How Evaporative Cooling Works.
Water needs heat to evaporate. So evaporative cooling draws air from outside and pulls it through cool, water-saturated pads. Natural evaporation cools the air while the pads filter out dust, pollen and other contaminants. The result is cooler, cleaner, fresher air. Its that simple. All without fluorocarbons or other chemicals used in refrigerated air cooling. They're not only better for the environment, they're better for you.

Durable. Powerful. Economical.

Seeley International pioneered the All-polymer evaporative cooler, and the Arctic Breeze coolers are a proud member of the family. They simply will not rust. Their Super tough, non-corrosive polymer construction promises years of cool, economical comfort.

"It works (for me, at least)!" 2008-07-08
By T. Auyeung
I have used mine for a few years, and it works as it should. For those who fear the bad smell from a swamp cooler, replace the aspen pad (that comes with the unit) with the blue synthetic evaporative pad that is available from Home Depot. Not only does it control the smell very well, it also helps improve the cooling efficiency. I sometimes use about half a teaspoons of bleach on the first bucket of water to help kill the algae that contributes the smell.

Right now, it is 104F outside, with a relative humidity of 19% (as reported by [...]). The output air temperature is 70F with a RH of 80% (as checked by a non-contact infrared thermometer). Considering the unit only consumes about 200W max, I can't really complain!

If you plan to use a swamp cooler, make sure you have efficient ventilation. Otherwise, the moist air will just stay in one area, which can be quite uncomfortable. I put an exhaust fan at the other end of the house to help move cool air through the house.

Your mileage may vary!

"Relief!" 2008-04-30
By Joe from LA
After considerable research on this type of cooler, and despite some caveats that are out there, I chose this one. An important consideration was my ability to contact a live person at the company that supplies/manufactures the unit. She provided much useful information and comparisons of the units that I was considering. I live in Southern California, in a large two-story home with central air, but only one zone. On hot days, the temperature upstairs will get into the 90's, and by the time the CA gets it down to a bearable level, the downstairs is uncomfortably cool. I was looking for an efficient and economical alternative. Good news and bad news. The bad is that when I started the unit, squatting in front of it to see the controls, I got an unexpected (and unneeded) bath. A call to the manufacturer and 35 minutes of trouble shooting led to the conclusion that it was defective out of the box. A call to the local distributor (Air & Water)on a Friday resulted in delivery of a replacement the following Tuesday. The second unit works perfectly. A little over an hour after I had turned it on, the upstairs temperature, in a rather large bedroom/bathroom area, had dropped by 11 degrees. It runs surprisingly quiet. If aesthetics are an important consideration, this unit may not be for you because it isn't pretty. It is quite light, however, and can be moved easily or hidden when not in use. As always, time will tell, but for the moment I am very happy with this purchase. It cools a large area--over 400 sq ft, quickly, relatively quietly, and I am sure a lot more efficiently than my central air.
