Re: Cool E-Bay Find "Bon-Aire Swamp Cooler"
They work OK, but it works best in a low/no humidity environment. If it's too humid, the unit will blow almost ambient temperature air. Ice definitely helps, because the in-car units pull air that's already inside the car. Until the car cools down, it won't be very efficient. The big barrel window units work much better because it's getting force fed cooler air. I think the seller was trying to use the typical tactic that his unit was too nice to actually use.
If you have one still in the box and don't plan on using it, sell it right now. It's one of those items that definitely seasonal, and with the temps the way they are currently, now is the time to sell it.
