Evaporative Cooling on Demand
No matter where you live, the Frigidaire 350 sq. ft. Evaporative Air Cooler provides plenty of airflow to your home to keep you cooler. The fan oscillates to keep fresh air moving throughout your space, making your skin feel 7 to 8 degrees cooler than the air temperature.
If you live in the southwestern United States, your dry climate is the perfect place to add the cooling power of evaporation to your fan’s function. Simply slide the side lever downward to lower the cooling pad into the water supply, and your tower fan becomes an evaporative cooler that can rival the effectiveness of a portable air conditioner — all without any chemical refrigerants or high energy bills.

Powerful, Quiet Cooling
This Frigidaire Evaporative Air Cooler has four fan speeds that provide up to 600 CFMs of power — that’s enough airflow to cool 350 sq. ft. of living space at a time. It also has a silent setting that’s perfect for babies and other light sleepers. The two operation modes allow you to take advantage of evaporative cooling on dry days and fan-only settings when it’s more humid. The water reservoir is even big enough to accommodate DIY ice packs for an extra burst of cold air.

Compact Design with Loads of Features
The sleek white design of the Frigidaire 350 sq. ft. Evaporative Air Cooler looks great with any decor, and it's lightweight enough to move around your home or to carry outdoors. The evaporative cooling function humidifies rooms for comfort while filtering out dust and particulates for improved air quality. The included remote control offers unbeatable convenience as you select the perfect setting for any weather conditions.

Why isn't my evaporative cooler making the room colder?
Despite their nickname, swamp coolers are designed to work best in hot, dry climates, so you may still need an air conditioner if you live in a humid area. You can also troubleshoot by adding more water to the tank, attaching a DIY ice pack to boost cooling power, or opening windows to let additional dry air flow inside to keep things comfortable.

Should I bother with evaporative cooling if I already have an air conditioner?
Yes! Indoor evaporative cooling systems can be used on the driest days in any climate as a more eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional air conditioning. You can also use a portable evaporative air cooler on your patio, in your garage or other rooms your A/C doesn't reach.

How many gallons of water does the reservoir hold?
This portable evaporative cooler holds about 5 gallons of water in its tank. That's enough for several hours to half a day's worth of cooling, though the time between refills will depend on your indoor air humidity, the ambient temperature and your preferred fan speed.

California Residents:
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including styrene, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information see below.

What is this warning about?
This warning is the result of a unique law passed in California in 1986 called “Proposition 65.” Proposition 65 requires a warning to be included with any product sold in California that may contain any of the 900-plus chemicals that State of California regulators (as opposed to federal and other state regulators) consider harmful. As explained below, failure to provide a warning can result in significant costs and penalties in California.
Are products with this label safe to use?
Yes, Newair products are safe to use as instructed. Our products meet federal and state laws (including California’s) for safety and restricted substances. A Proposition 65 warning is a notification that a product may include a substance on California’s Proposition 65 list. The list is broad, subject to change, and contains substances that are found in products, sold and purchased in California, that are used or consumed in everyday living. For example, warnings have been required for coffee, vinegar, and fish, in addition to many other commonly-used products.
I purchased this product outside of California. Why are you showing this message to me?
Newair products are sold throughout the U.S. to retailers with national distribution. Each distribution warehouse can and does serve multiple states, including California. To avoid the potential Proposition 65 costs and penalties if a product without a warning is brought into California, we decided to include these warnings, regardless of origin of purchase.
If this product is safe, why does Newair include this warning?
For purposes of Proposition 65, the fact that the product meets federal and state safety standards is irrelevant. If there is even a trace amount of a Proposition 65 chemical in the product, it is up to the manufacturer to prove that the amount falls below California’s minimum exposure level. What constitutes “exposure” is poorly defined and the decision is often left to the courts. For a manufacturer, the legal fees to contest a Proposition 65 case are significant. Because providing a warning removes all of these potential costs and litigation risks, Newair and many other manufacturers have opted to provide the Proposition 65 warning.
Doesn't the state of California require evidence of harm to humans prior to posting chemicals on the Proposition 65 list?
No. In fact, California regulators require no evidence of harm or even likelihood of harm to humans prior to placing a chemical on the Proposition 65 list. Instead, evidence from animal testing has been deemed sufficient, even when those tests on animals are conducted with outlandish dosages.
Can a chemical be on the Proposition 65 even if it is considered to be safe by the FDA and EPA?
Yes. There are a variety of examples of products that have been deemed safe by the FDA and/or EPA that are on the California Proposition 65 list. The FDA & EPA have done studies with humans and deemed products safe, but based on the animal testing and extremely high doses, those same products are still listed on California’s Proposition 65 list.
