APEX 500
PORTACOOL
Looking for something better than a fan—without the cost of an air conditioner? With built-in Wi-Fi!!
Description
Evaporative cooler by Portacool, a company that has been manufacturing these units for over 30 years in Center, Texas. Most of the production is based in the U.S., although some components are sourced from other parts of the world.
This is a portable unit that lowers air temperature by adding moisture to the air—similar to the natural cooling effect you experience at the beach, by the ocean, or near a riverbank.
Its front air intake and discharge design allows it to be placed against a wall or in a corner, as it does not require rear clearance for airflow. The large rear wheels make it easy to move, even on slightly uneven surfaces.
The unit can be controlled via the onboard control panel or through a mobile app using Wi-Fi. The app allows you to manage multiple units at once and receive alerts on your phone—for example, when the water level is low.

Why Buy It?
It’s a great option for a small workshop, as its front air intake and discharge design allows it to be placed against a wall or even in a corner.
The internal fan design helps reduce noise, but it’s not completely silent. Its technology offers several convenient features, such as being able to turn it on before entering the workshop and not having to worry about turning it off later.
It’s very important to read the user manual carefully and test the unit to ensure it fits your needs. If you live in a high-humidity area, a standard fan may be a better option.
