Summer Cooling That's a Breeze!
Powerful, low-energy cooling right where you need it. Evaporative air coolers let you plug and play, fanning a fresh breeze to fight the summer heat. Enjoy the season without sweating high energy bills! A multipurpose, lightweight unit, this swamp cooler also humidifies dry winter air.
Honeywell Evaporative Air Cooler with Fan & Humidifier for Indoor Spaces, CL25AE
An indoor room cooler, this portable, energy-efficient model is built to cool your medium-sized rooms. Living room, bedroom, play area, or office, the unit is easily portable and adapts for summer heat or winter dryness. A versatile performer, the CL25AE showcases oscillating louvers, an ice compartment for a colder breeze, three fan settings, a sleep mode, and a humidity control to regulate moisture output. New to evaporative air cooling? The sensation is like a lakeside breeze. Browse through these tabs to discover more about this energy-efficient technology.
So, It's Not an Air Conditioner—Right?
Correct! Evaporative air coolers don't use heavy compressors or refrigerant gas to lower air temperatures, nor do they spray mist. Instead, they moderately reduce heat through evaporating water vapor into the air. They work most effectively in hot, dry climates. Check out the map: The red and orange regions, with less than 45% relative humidity, are suited for indoor & outdoor evaporative coolers; the yellow regions, between 45%-65% relative humidity, can benefit from outdoor evaporative coolers; the blue, more humid zones are on target for outdoor evaporative cooling or indoor Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners. The cooling effect produced by evaporative air coolers depends on environment conditions and should not be expected to cool as efficiently as air conditioners.
How Do Evaporative Air Coolers Work?
Honeywell Evaporative Air Coolers are constructed with 3 central components: a fan, a pump system to circulate water, and a honeycomb-shaped absorbent pad. The fan draws in warm air through the wet honeycomb media, evaporation converts the moisture into water vapor, and then cooler, more humid air flows out on the other side. When using an evaporative air cooler, make sure to ventilate the room to expel excess humidity and allow for circulation of fresh, dry air. Be aware that the honeycomb media may have a distinct odor when first used, which will dissipate after a couple hours.

Product Description
Experience efficient and cost-effective cooling with the Honeywell 500 CFM indoor evaporative air cooler. Designed for hot and low-humidity conditions, this swamp cooler is ideal for regions like the southwestern United States (with recommended humidity levels of 60% or less). Unlike air conditioners, Honeywell evaporative air coolers operate without power-hungry components like compressors, resulting in low power consumption (only 235 watts) and significant energy savings on your bills. Setting up this air cooler is simple. Just unpack it, add water or ice, place it near an open door or window for proper ventilation, plug it in, and start enjoying the cool. This portable swamp cooler is designed for indoor use, best suited for open environments with adequate cross ventilation up to 300 square feet. It features four fan speeds and oscillating louvers that distribute cool air through the honeycomb cooling media while the carbon dust filter helps cleanse the air. For those living in more humid climates, portable air conditioning units or window air conditioners are recommended for optimal cooling. However, if you reside in a dry and hot area, the Honeywell portable evaporative cooler offers an energy-efficient alternative that keeps you cool and comfortable while saving on energy consumption.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So I ordered a replacement pump. No refunds on the pump. Honeywell must know what junk this thing is. I took off the back and thought well, I'll also fix the depth indicator (this had never been installed. Impossible to get to. I want to just throw the whole thing out (and never buy another Honeywell anything ever again). But I can't cancel the pump I ordered yesterday that won't arrive for for another 10 days. (They claim it was already shipped. I ordered it 6 pm Saturday, it's 3:30 pm Sunday)
Update: 1 Year. It leaks out of the soaker frame in the back-all over the floor. Can only be used outside. No reason this suddenly started happening. It's not an easy fix. The low fill door and missing water level gauge has been a huge annoyance. It would have been so easy to put a large funnel on the top for filling. There are inexplicable button combinations that disable speed. Default On is fan, not cooling. Bottomline? This unit just seems badly designed in many wrong ways. Update: One month. Cleaning. There doesn't seem to be anyway, other than through the fill door to get my hand, and a sponge to the bottom of the tank. There seems to be no instructions for cleaning it out. TIP: before buying any evaporative cooler Google how to clean it first. Honeywell only seems to have marketing happy talk. General instructions for this type of cooler are not useful because there's no way to get inside this model. I've only run reverse osmosis water, and ran maybe 12 gallons through in the past month, last weekend after I filled it up I noticed gunk floating around in the water. So it needs cleaning out on a regular basis. Not a big deal-- if you can gain access.
Old review: I just received this and got it working. What I immediately noticed: Instead of one useless user manual, there are two. There's also a Honeywell video, don't bother: You already know what a swamp cooler does. You can read the buttons on the top of the machine. That's all the video covers. A complete waste of time.
What is the capacity of this? I think it's about 6 gallons, but I couldn't find anything in the manuals or the website that cover this.
The water level window seems pretty useless (that's because the indicator needle is sitting loose on the bottom of the tank. ) I put in at least three gallons and it doesn't even register at the Minimum.
It takes a lot of water, but the water intake door is just OK at best. They could've easily designed a huge funnel as the side panel to raise the point you add water, and so you could add water as fast as you can pour. )
It cools by adding water to the air, that water evaporates which requires heat, so the air cools. If you use this in a closed room, the humidity will rise to the saturation point and no more cooling will occur. I'm using this in Los Angeles where humidity levels are 45% to 60%, though the first day I used this the report was 84%. It's worked pretty good across this range. The output fan is strong, the output temperature is about 10 degrees F below the temperature of the intake air. It sits next to an open door, so it's not recirculating room air. This should give you an idea of how well this will work.
It sits near where I work on my computer, at low the air flow is pretty high, so if you need a swamp cooler for just one person in one basic position, then this unit is probably too large 500 CFM, half would probably do it.
I remain annoyed about the fill method and it arriving with a broken fill level indicator. (Using the levered needle is pretty stupid design. The fill level window is very low on the unit. There's a float right next to this stupid fill level window. So why even use a float and a lever if the level window is so low on the unit???? With a float or levered indicator needle it would be dead simple to show the level right at the top of the unit where it could be easily read. Also the ice compartment at the top. It would not be at all difficult to add a little flap and make this the fill point-it's huge compared to the stupid little flap on the side. Anyone at Honeywell paying attention????)
Easy to clean out. After having it stored over winter it got a little funky. I bought this last year when I was pregnant and we did not use the a/c due to costs. This was AMAZING to have during those hot flashes during summer. It takes the edge off of the heat, and makes a room comfortable. We have also used it since it started getting hot here a couple months ago. It gave out and started making a horrible LOUD whistle/squeek. My husband couldn't find any repair manuals online or replacement parts (not sure how hard he looked) we went without it for 2 weeks and it was noticeably hotter and very dry in our house. We have allergies and this helps.
It's easy to fill with water and ice. The settings are appropriate.
It is loud but not uncomfortably loud. It becomes a white noise in the background.
We decided to buy the same unit because we really like it!
1st review:
Works very well. Cools down the room. We live in CA in the dry heat. Packaging was done well and arrived , product arrived with no damage.
Top reviews from other countries
- 22.0L is the actual usable capacity
- water pump rate control ( control humidity/cooling level )
- removable and washable prefilter and pad
- works as an air filter as well (can trap viruses)
- 1.26L per hour on low/min fan speed and max water flow rate
- pad wicking humidification ( no hard water white dust )
- fan and motor noise is 43dB on low fan speed ( 49dB max) one meter away
- separate ice loading compartment on top of the unit
- infrared controllable ( therefore, wifi controllable/programmable with a separate 3rd party infrared/wifi unit )
- infrared sensor is sensitive (good angle, distance ranges & may not need to be direct)
- casters/wheels can be replaced by 3" after market standard office chair casters (no brakes)
Negatives
- no factory warranty in Canada unless bought from Canadian Tire
- power on to standby only not to the last setting ( won't resume to last setting after power outage )
- low fan speed is too powerful ( consuming 140 watts and generating 43 dB of motor/fan noise one meter away )
- may be too noise for small bedrooms
- depth and width of the unit made it bulky ( more height instead would be better )
- no humidity/temp sensor (no auto mode based on conditions)
- "sleep mode" means the fan set to high for 1h then med for another 1h then continue on low
- water holding compartment is not sealed ( water will spill when moving the unit full of water )
