Cómo hemos elaborado este informe
13 notable evaporative ('swamp') coolers selected as the 2026 buyer comparison set, scoped to portable/personal units directly comparable on airflow, tank size, and coverage (duct-in whole-house/window systems use an incompatible spec shape and are out of scope). All 10 seeds from the brief were checked against manufacturer sites and corrected where the market had moved: 'Portacool Jetstream 250' does not exist under that name — Portacool's real legacy line was Jetstream 220/230/260/270 and Cyclone 120/130/140/160, and portacool.com confirms both series are now fully discontinued ('Parts and accessories are available' only); the current Portacool (a Big Ass Fans brand) lineup is the APEX series (500/700/1200/2000/4000/6500), so the seed was replaced with APEX 700 (closest personal/patio-class successor) plus APEX 4000 added for the large industrial tier. 'Frigidaire EC300WF' was corrected to its real model number EC300W-FA; its owner's manual is hosted with a registration link at register.newair.com, indicating NewAir now services this Frigidaire-licensed SKU. 'Big Ass Fans Cool-Space' is confirmed real and current at bigassfans.com/evaporative-coolers (300/350/400/500 tiers); Cool-Space 300 was selected as the representative mid-tier unit. Honeywell CO60PM and CL30XC are both confirmed-real, officially spec-sheeted products (manufactured by JMATEK under Honeywell license, spec PDFs dated (c)2016) but honeywellstore.com now shows both as 'DISCONTINUED' with no current US price anywhere checked (Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe's all blocked automated access) — included as still-relevant, frequently second-hand/eBay-compared reference points, priceUsd null; Honeywell CO25AE (smaller tier, also discontinued) was added to round out the Honeywell size range from compact to commercial. Vagkri is a real Amazon-exclusive brand (thevagkri.com is a marketing page that funnels directly to its Amazon store) sold under several near-identical ASINs for the same 2100 CFM unit; no independent US price could be extracted from Amazon's JS-rendered page. COSTWAY was resolved to a specific, verifiable SKU: the 3450 CFM 4-in-1 industrial cooler (Home Depot SKU GHM0665; also sold on Target and Best Buy) — costway.com itself blocked every fetch attempt (403), so target.com serves as the primary source. Luma Comfort EC45S was added as one of the most commonly compared budget indoor tower units, rounding the set to 13. specKeys chosen for real comparability across all units: airflow_cfm, water_tank_gal, coverage_sqft, speed_settings (discrete count; left null for continuously-variable-speed industrial units like the Portacool APEX and Cool-Space lines, which do not publish a discrete number), oscillation, ice_compartment, power_watt, runtime_hr (left null almost everywhere — manufacturers rarely publish an hours-per-fill figure; only Big Ass Fans Cool-Space 300 states one explicitly). true/false values were only set where a source's comprehensive feature/spec list positively confirmed presence or, for a thorough enumerated list, confirmed absence by omission (e.g. Honeywell's icon-grid spec sheets, Frigidaire's 14-feature + 20-part manual list); every other gap is null rather than a guess. priceUsd = current US MSRP or verified current retail price; several heavily bot-protected retailers (Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Costway.com, newair.com, lumacomfort.com — most returned 403/429/CAPTCHA on repeated attempts) could not be scraped directly, so those products carry priceUsd:null with a priceNote explaining what was and wasn't confirmed, per null-beats-a-guess. accessedAt 2026-08-01 on all entries.
