Just got this COSTWAY evaporative cooler and I gotta say, it's been a game-changer for my home office setup. The 3-in-1 functionality (cooler+humidifier+fan) actually works surprisingly well together.
The remote control is super convenient when I'm too lazy to get up from my work chair (which is always). Though fair warning - don't expect AC-level cooling. It's more like a 'take the edge off' kind of device.
I love the timer function - set it for 7.5 hours and wake up to a slightly less miserable morning. The water tank lasts forever (okay, like a full day), but pro tip: fill it halfway unless you want an upper body workout moving this thing around.
Now the not-so-great parts: The ice crystal boxes? Kinda finicky. And if you're in Death Valley-level heat, maybe look elsewhere. But for my moderately stuffy apartment? Absolute lifesaver that doesn't murder my electricity bill.
