Source: portacool.com (verified 2026-08-01). portacool.com's APEX 4000 spec sheet (fetched 2026-08-01) confirms: 13,250 CFM, 55-gallon reservoir, 4,000 sq ft coverage, 25 MPH velocity, 50ft reach, 62dB, 36in fan, WiFi-enabled CoolSync app control, $4,939 MSRP, 77x63x33in, 220 lbs, 9.0A at 120V (wattage not published, and 9.0A x 120V is not used directly as power_watt since Hessaire's own dual-unit spec sheets show motor wattage does not equal a simple amps x 120V product). Walmart, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, and Lowe's listings (titles only) corroborate '13,250 CFM / 5-speed / 4,000 sq ft'. Oscillation not mentioned in this model's otherwise-thorough spec sheet (unlike APEX 700, which explicitly states it), so set false; no ice compartment appears in any Portacool documentation checked.
