cooling devices are Spot Coolers NOT Area Coolers, however many
times we receive testimonials stating that our models cool areas,
which may lead you to believe they are area coolers. DO NOT expect
it even when someone says so in their testimonial!
If you determine a portable cooling system is what you need then
expect Spot Cooling and if by chance it cools an area chalk it
up to just the right situation. All testimonials are copied just

BOATS:
THE MIGHTYKOOL WAS A LIFE SAVER!!:
"I finally got the boat launched this past week-end. Would
like to thank you for your help and for the MightyKool 300. It
has made a long time dream of mine come true! I am now able to
be out on the lake after 2 years of thinking my boat camping and
fishing days were over. The Mighty Cool was a life saver!! It
is very well designed and quality built!!! I am as proud of it
as I am the Aqua-Camp boat camper. There are so many people that
can no longer enjoy life because of health problems and illness.
I wish they all could learn about the mighty Cool air conditioning
systems. So many would be able to return to the activities and
life they once enjoyed!" M. M. Buggs Island Lake, VA
MIGHTYKOOL MODEL MK3 SPORT FISHING IN COSTA RICA
We recently bought a MK3 for our sport fishing boat here in Costa
Rica. Just to let you know it works fantastic. Its set up in the
cabin part of the boat which is completely inside. Before with
the other air conditioner it was almost unbearable to sit inside
during the day. This hurt us business wise because we advertise
that we are air conditioned. My crew give the MK3 a thumbs up.
The cabin is the size of a small bedroom with a 6 foot ceiling.
It is very comfortable now and all it costs me is a big bag of
ice per day. Also we hooked it up to the 12v panel so it has a
circuit breaker. If you like to deep sea sport fish we are your
connection here in Costa Rica.Gracias por todo,y hasta luego,Vero,and

HER BROTHER LOVES HIS SWAMPY SO SHE WANTS ONE TOO:
"Called to order a S154 as her brother has one & love
it in their 5th wheel for dry camping." B. P. Electric City,
WA.
THE MIGHTYKOOL MADE IT POSSIBLE TO SLEEP IN THE CABIN OF
OUR BOAT IN FL:
"We tested the MightyKool on our boat for 3 nights at Captiva
Island, Florida. The daytime highs were 94 with high humidity
and nighttime lows were 78 or so. I had 2 blocks of ice and 4
bags of ice for the 1st night. 10:00PM ran it on high for 30 min
or then left it on low for the night. My wife got cold and shut
it off at midnight. I woke up hot at 1:30 & put it back on
low & it cooled until 6:00 AM. The next 2 nights I could only
get ice cubes by the bag. I charged it with 6.5 bags ea night
& it cooled well for 6 hours. The MightyKool made it possible
to sleep in the cabin of our boat. We had thundershowers each
night, so sleeping on deck with the mosquitoes and noseeums was
not an option either." R.C. Punta Gorda, Fl.
THE SWAMPY WORKS FINE IN SOUTH FLORIDA:
"I own the IceStrMystr Model IM-30 and use it on my 27\'
sport boat with a very small cabin and it works fine here in south
Florida." L. D. Miami
BOUGHT THEIR FIRST SWAMPY 10 YEARS AGO AND LOVES THEIR
NEW MW1:
Got and I love it! (MightyKool MW1) One question...how high up
the window can I fill it - all the way ok or only 1/2? W. H. Scottsdale,
AZ
BOAT WITH TWO MW1 MIGHTKOOL'S AT LAKE MEADE, NV:
She called as they love their MightyKool and want another one
so both her and her husband can have their own on the boat. M.
& S. D. Las Vegas, NV.
WONDERFUL INVENTION EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS:
"We received the IceMystr yesterday and it exceeds
our expectations. What a wonderful invention. You need to do some
advertising, so more people would know about your product: K.P.L
Macon, GA. "
BORROWED MW1 AND IT WORKED PERFECT - SEND ONE FOR CABIN NAPS:
Looking forward to using the MW1 MightyKool we ordered on our
boat. We borrowed one from our friends first to make sure it would
work for us and it was perfect. This is really going to help keep
our 1 1/2 year old daughter cooler when she's taking a nap down
in the cabin. Thanks again, C. M. Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
SETTING IN THE CABIN VERY BEARABLE DURING HEAT OF THE DAY:
"I took the (M300 MightyKool) unit over to the lake the weekend
after I received it (July). I figured I would test the unit in
a "worst case" scenario, so I put it in the cabin of
my 26 foot MacGregor sailboat, at about 12:30 p.m., right in the
heat of the day. The temperature at 12:30 was 95 degrees, with
about 46-49% humidity. I charged the M300 with 1 block and 2 seven
pound bags of ice, then added a bottle or so of water. Within
a couple of minutes the unit was putting out 73 degree air at
the vents. I stayed in the cabin, sitting within 3-6 feet of the
unit with the air directed toward the seating area, for 3 hours.
During that time the cool airflow kept me comfortable. Within
30 minutes or so, the unit had reduced the interior temperature
to about 89-90 degrees, or roughly 5 degrees below outside temperature.
It continued to put out nicely cooled air until I decided to leave
and used the pump-out feature to drain the water out through the
sink before I left. All things considered, I believe the unit
did very well, as it took the "edge" off the heat and
made sitting inside the cabin very bearable during the highest
heat period of the day. In practice, I will be using the M300
in the late afternoon, early evening, so that I could watch a
movie, eat, or visit with friends in the cabin, or use the unit
during the night for more comfortable sleeping. I'm really impressed
and very satisfied with the performance of the M300! I'm looking
forward to using it in the future and I think it will make the
use of my boat for overnights much more pleasant. Thanks again
for building a great product, and for your excellent service!"
T. C. Vincennes, IN
MEETS ALL EXPECTATIONS:
"We received our Icester yesterday. We've tried it
out in our hot garage and found it to meet all of our expectations.
Thanks again for making this product possible: F.M. of Fayetteville,
GA."
SWAMPY DONE A GREAT JOB IN DESERT HEAT AT NIGHT:
"Hello, I bought one of your 12v swampier (T154) a month
or so ago. I am using swampier in a sail boat and am a member
of a club and if you recall was the "guinne pig" buying
and checking it out for some club members as we are getting ready
to sail on Lake Mead (Las Vegas, NV.) shortly on an extended cruise.
Been anchoring at night in Lake Pleasant (Phoenix area) and the
swampy has done a great job. now my question, what adverse affects
occurs if a swampy water pump is run dry, and for what period
could this occur before damage? Have been in contact with my buddies
and this has been the only question that has arisen about it.
the thing is great for sleeping. We have about 13 people I think
is interested in these units. I like it better than air conditioning
at night, hell of alot cheaper. Thanks in advance jd" Phoenix,
AZ. (No damage occurs when out of water)

CAMPERS & TRUCK SLEEPERS:

they are identical in nature)
USING THE MW1 MIGHTYKOOL IN THE DRY CLIMATES OF THE SOUTHWEST
FOR HIS SLEEPER:
My husband just got back from a trip to Idaho and is absolutely
thrilled with his new MW1. It was quite hot in some places, being
the middle of summer, and he said it got so cool in his sleeper,
he even had to turn it off once or twice. He's ready to recommend
it to all of his trucking buddies who complain that you can't
idle your truck anymore. He loves it!!! Thanks so much for your
recommendation! It'll keep him cool for years to come. S. and
R. G. Ontario, CA
MY BUDDIES IN THE TRUCKS BE SIDE ME WER COOKIN' I WAS COMFORTABLE:
Just to let you know I am a local truck driver here in the valley
and my company like many out there nowadays don't want us to idle
when we get stuck somewhere waiting to get loaded or unloaded.Well
today I got stuck sitting at one of the shippers over in Tolleson
for about 4 hours and while my buddies in the trucks be side me
were cookin' I was comfortable thanks to my MW1. Thanks for a
great product! M. H. Black Canyon City, AZ.
COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW SMALL IT WAS:
We recieved our cooler, sooner than expected! Super fast shipping.
Took the cooler (MW1) out of the box and was suprised at how small
it is.. Had my doubts as to whether or not is was going to work.
Plugged it in to the 12 v outlet in the house and off it went.
It kept the kitchen living room cool for the whole afternoon.
It was 98 deg outside but nice and cool inside. Thank you thank
you thank you thank you... S. and L. p.s. feel free to publish
this... This is a truly fantastic product and you deserve all
the sucess. S. L. P. Palmdale, CA.
WE RECOMMEND THE MK3 AND NOT THE M200 AS IT DOES NOT HOLD ENOUGH
ICE, HOWEVER-----!
My truck is a W900L with a 86" sleeper. Even with the bigger
sleeper space is very important, so that is the main reason that
I use the M200. I freeze my own ice usually in two liter bottles
and I place one sometimes two bottles in water in the swamp cooler.
Unless the temperature is over ninety, or with high humidity this
will last me through the night, although sometimes I will put
another bottle in through the night. I direct the air towards
my face and as long as it pumps water it is cool enough to sleep
through the night. As you know to keep it very comfortable ice
directly in the water is better but doesn't last very long. If
it is really hot or high humidity or both, I have to run the truck
air conditioner for a few minutes to cool down the area every
hour.
THIS LITTLE GUY ROCKS!
This little guy (MW1) rocks! Thanks again, I'm going to enjoy
camping in the summer a bunch more now! J. K. Discovery Bay, CA.
MISSISSIPPI HUMIDITY NO PROBLEM FOR THE MK3:
The MK3 Kicks A_ _!!! I
received the Mk3 unit today and it exceeded my expectations. I
tested it in the back of my truck with a small 24qt cooler with
ice plus water. Actually not that much ice, mostly cold water,
for it was just a test. The temperature outside was 80 with 80%
humidity at 6pm in Biloxi, so it was warm and sticky in the camper.
I activated Mk3 and I couldn't believe how cold the air was blowing.
In a matter of minutes, the temperature dropped to 62, so for
me to lay down, it had to be set on low or I would turn into a
popsickle. I fell asleep then woke up at 10 pm. The little bit
of ice had melted, but the water was still cold and the camper
temperature read 67. The blower was still blowing cold air running
on just the water. Thank you very much for such a great invention.
P.K. MS.
AUSTRALIA CAMPER IMPRESSED INSIDE THEIR MOTORHOME:
Thank you for sending the cooler so promptly. Had a test run inside
our Motorhome (RV) and was very impressed. We are in the CMCA
(Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia) and when our friends
see the "Mighty Kool" there might be some more orders
for you.
Thanks again, H. K. South Australia
KEPT CAMPER COOL ON MEDIUM SETTING IN 90-95 DEGREE WEATHER:
"I finally got a chance to use the Swampy MW1 over the 4th
of July weekend in 90-95 degree weather. This thing RULES! It
kept my whole camper cool on a medium setting and was turned down
to low at night. I am so impressed with the way it performed,
it was worth every dollar! Thanks again for all your help!"
C. E. Palisade, CO.
I received the Swampy MW1 on Wednesday. Your communication and
shipping on my order were accurate and very prompt. The MW1 arrived
well labeled and packed. The MW1 is easy to use. The fan is quiet
and really moves a lot of air! Initial testing at 10% humidity
and 81 degree ambient temperature produced an output vent temperature
of 62 degrees. With the fan set on medium speed this was more
than adequate to cool the occupants of our conversion van. The
MW1 is very well constructed. I congratulate you on an excellent
design carried through with quality parts and an attention to
detail. For those who need a compact 12 volt "swamp cooler"
I can recommend the MW1. Thank You, L.J. Morristown, AZ (They
travel extensively & use the MW1 primarily for camping including
sleeping in their Van)
"BURNING MAN" BOUND:
I received my Mighty Cool and it's a pretty awesome little contraption.
I have only used it twice now for short periods of time, but so
far am very pleased. I am excited to use it on a weekend camping
trip coming up in my trailer and later on at Burning Man. Thanks!!
A. M. Grand Junction, CO.
WORKED GREAT IN HORSE TRAILER WHILE PAINTING:
"I used the MWl in the horse trailer while I was painting,
haven't used it while camping yet cause I haven't been camping
so far this summer. Will try it when camping before I get another
MWl, it really works great in my truck. Anyway I love my cooler
and will try it on the next trip." L.M. Portal, AZ.
IMPROVED CAMPING EXPERIENCE EVERY WEEKEND THIS SUMMER IN CT:
"I bought your MW1 MightyKool system on July 5. It has definitely
improved my camping experiences every weekend this summer."
R.O. Newington, CT.
BEATS THE KOOLERAIRE CONTRAPTION:
I absolutely love the (MightyKool MW1) cooler. It blows powerful
cool air and beats the heck out of the cooleraire contraptions.
Thanks again,
Jason Phoenix, AZ
WE PLUGGED IN THE MIGHTYKOOL AND INSTANT COOLING IN TEARDROP
TRAILER:
"I just love this cooler (MW1), amazing how much it delivers.
Even when i posted it in the tiny trailers and teardrop forum
they told me to leave it home but I took it anyways to McGrath
State beach near Ventura, Ca. One night my wife turned on my small
fan and still felt warm so we plugged in the cooler and instant
cooling, couldn't have been a more perfect size for a teardrop
trailer." E. M. Phoenix, AZ.
DESIGNER PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT IN THE COOLERS CONSTRUCTION:
"The cooler arrived yesterday and appears to works just fine.
The designer seems to have put a lot of thought into its construction
and we are pleased." W. S. Reno, NV
COULD HAVE VERY WELL SAVED LIFE THIS SUMMER:
"You guys could have very well saved my life this summer.
the (IM30) ice myster did a great job on the forth and has really
let me keep my cool on a couple of other jobs. i'll really put
it to the test next week at a vietnam vet reunion where the temp.
is going to 100+. I use it with my battery pack and a space age
material colaspeable cooler. The little guy is quite an ice eater
but i'm working on making some large blocks of ice and am sure
that will help. thanks for all your help!!!!!" W. N. Attica,
KS.
FOUND SLEEPING QUITE COMFORTABLE DURING AUSTRALIAN SUMMER:
Thanks for the prompt delivery of the MW1 MightyKool cooling system.
I was bit hesitant at first but after running it for the last
two weeks in 30 + C. degrees, have found it very good. I have
been filling the cooler with cold water from my fridge and found
sleeping quite comfortable.Compared to the cost of other evaporative
coolers these systems are way in front. thanks again, regards,
D. & K. F. Goombungee, Queensland, Australia
KEEPS PARKED CAR COMFORTABLE WHEN RETURNING:
"Just wanted to let you know I was finally able to use the
swampy (M300) yesterday and it was a great success. I did as you
suggested and made big bowls of ice. Getting back into a comfortable
car was worth all the money in the world to me. Thanks again for
all of your help and patience. B.D." Guffey, CO. (This person
has a medical condition where it is vital to have the car cool
when coming back from shopping).
KEPT COMFORTABLE IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION TENT CAMPING:
"I received the order and we used the (MW1) Mighty Kool three
nights on our trip. It was very humid and hot out so I'm not sure
they had the best chance to work. From what they did do, they
worked well enough to keep us comfortable in very uncomfortable
situations. I think they could have put out much cooler air but
then again the humidity was at 100% the entire time. It was very
easy to pack the Mighty Kool to the camp and set it up with the
battery and ran very well. I can not believe that the small units
put out so much air. The fans on them work great! I just wish
the humidity was not so high. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would
have to give it an 8, maybe an 8.5. On service from you and the
company, I would give you an off the chart score. You worked with
me so well on my order and I was very pleased with everything.
Thank you so much for all you did and went through on my behalf.
If I need any of your products again, I will definitely be back
or if I know anyone who could use your services, I will not hesitate
in recommending your company. Again thank you for everything!!!"
R. L. Newburgh, IN.
STAYED NICE AND COMFORTABLE SLEEPING IN OUR MOTORHOME:
"We used the MW1 in the motorhome this 4th of July weekend,
and found you can set this thing up on the small dash, even though
it looks like it would fall off. I took a good stretch chord,
hooked it to the defroster vents, and it stayed there nice and
tight. I set the defroster to run on vented outside air with no
heat, so to get it into the Mightykool fan, and it did a pretty
good job of keeping us kool. When we camped at night with our
electrical hookup, we used a converter with the Mightykool , and
stayed nice and comfortable. Love my toys." C. P. Portland,
OR
MIGHTYKOOL KICKING OUR MUCH APPRECIATED COOL AIR IN CHICAGO:
"The day started off at 82F with a humidity of 74%. These
readings came from a weather service software I have on my wireless
web enabled cell phone. (service is MyCast) I was happy with the
output of the cooler (MW1 MightyKool). As the day went on the
temp went up and the humidity went down. Peaking at 4pm at 95F
and humidity of 26%. Your Mightykool was kicking out much appreciated
cool air. Throughout the day several artists checked out the unit
and wrote down your web site address. Many of the customers were
asking "what is this machine" I didn't have the unit
pointed at me more than a few minutes during the day. I was trying
to make sales and the customers comfort was more important than
mine. I will probably buy another one so I can be cool too."
L. H. Lago Vista, TX
GOING TO OPERATE THEIR MIGHTYKOOL ON SOLAR:
"I bought a MW1 from you. I like it alot. What is a good
solar panel that I can get to run it directly off it? Thank you."
B.R. Corrales, NM. (We have no recommendation or information on
Solar Panels, except thousands are in use).
THE TEMP ON THE FLOOR OF MOTORHOME 105 DEGREES BUT AS USUAL PROVIDES
COMFORT:
"Well I checked the ice usage on the way down to Laguna Seca.
I started with 40 lbs of block ice, that's all I could put in
the M300. When I left the tempature was 95 and got up to 101 an
hour later. I check the ice at 1 hour and 50 minutes when I stopped,
there was a small piece of ice left so I would say it was gone
in another 10 minutes. The M300 sat on the passengers side with
the sun coming through window. The temperature on the floor of
the vehicle was 105, but I was as usual comfortable. I have a
small Toyota motorhome with a curtain between me and the MH part.
I point 2 nozzles toward me, one at a slant toward the windshield
and one at a slant toward the curtain. It seems to create a swirling
effect to keep me cool. J.H. Redding, CA.
EXCITED ABOUT RIDING DOWN THE ROAD WITH WINDOWS UP:
It's me again. I headed down to San Jose for the Champ Car race.
I put 40 lbs of block ice in my M300 and 20lbs of crushed ice.
It was 95 when I left and ran into 105 on the trip. I had ice
for 3 1/2 hours and very cold air. I think I may have found the
best way to use my M300. The block ice melted and the crushed
ice melted together, floated on top, keeping the water cold. The
air was so cold coming out I never turned the swampy off the first
setting. Thanks for a great product. I still get excited when
I driving down the road with the windows rolled up. As you probably
know with a window down at 40 mph it is the same as having an
ac turned on. Since using the swampy I have consistently gotten
18 mpg a slight increase than with the window down. J.H. Redding,
CA.
GOT SO COLD IN 92 DEGREE AIR HAD TO TURN THE VENTS AWAY:
I haven\'t sent you a report in a while. I have been using the
same combination as last report. This past weekend however I changed
a little because the weather cooled off. It was 92 when I left
at 530 pm I used 3 10lb blocks and 1 10lb crushed. I got so cold
I had to turn the nozzles away from me for a while. The ice lasted
about 2 1/2 hours. As usual I was as comfortable as I could be.
I get excited like a kid in a candy store every time I use my
M300. Thanks for a great product." J.H. Redding, CA.
THE MIGHTYKOOL WORKS VERY WELL IN ITALY CAMPING:
"Hallo Jack, it (MW1) is arrived and it works very well!
I received it yesterday in the morning, just in time to use it
during my holydays. Have a good summer and thank you very much
again. Stefano" POIANO-VERONA, ITALY.
110 IN THE SHADE AND THE COLD AIR JUST GREAT:
"I have it (M300 MightyKool) jerry rigged right now to a
marine battery and jumper cables... and it works great... I'm
very happy with it. Great looking, working, and sounding product...
much better than the $200 sharper image toaster (cooling devise)
that sounded like a dying gerbil in a blender and put out as much
cold air as a cold soft drink. It (M300) really works, blue ice
works great. It's 110 outside in the shade and feels like 50-60
(wind chill factor added) - 18 inches from the vents - that's
better than my auto AC! I've been running it a few hours.... and
even the ice I've thrown in has melted.. the water is still about
60 degrees and the cold air is just great... It doesn't need to
be 30 degrees to be heaven!" G. V. Portola Valley, CA

POSTAL DELIVERY LLV VEHICLE
"SO MUCH COOLER":
The MW1 makes my mail delivery truck (which I sit in for hours)

TEMPERATURE COMFORTABLE IN THE DEAWOO:
"Just to let you know that the unit (T154) works great in

FITS UNDER THE DASH OF THE 69 BEETLE:
I like It! I really like the cabinet. It fits nicely under the
dash in my '69 Beetle. The machine (Icester AC12) works just like
you described. I'm especially impressed with how well the unit
cools, and its light weight, compact design. I will tell people
in my VW club about it. T. C. Mebane, Alabama
KEEPS PARKED VEHICLE COOL WHILE SHOPPING:
"Found another good use for our Icester, It keeps the car
cool while it's parked, when we do our shopping. We use a jump
starter battery instead, so we don't run the car battery down.
The Mightykool is working out good in the bus. I even personalized
it with a smile under the eyeballs." C.P. Portland, OR.
ASTONISHED IN SWITZERLAND USING THE AC12:
"I thank you for your speed and quality of distribution.
I received my ICESTER AC12 this morning. I installed it in my
Golf to test this strange object… I did not put the quantity
of ice (approximately 8kgs) necessary to the correct operation
but just some refills for a short test. I am astonished because
that functions well, the air crossing the AC12 was definitely
colder that that taken by the ventilation of orgine of the car."
M. D. Paudex, Switzerland
MONASTERIES ABBOT IMPRESSED:
The IM30 worked very well for our Abbot's 12-hour drive. He said
that they put it in use between Redding and the Bay Area and between
Salinas and San Luis Obispo. For those times it was very comfortable.
As expected, it used up a fair amount of ice but, it was worth
the comfort. The only problem was the unavailability of block
ice, which would have lasted longer than the cubed ice. At any
rate, he was pleased and impressed. Father C. California
LOVES THE LITTLE THING IN THE JEEP:
"You have a heck of a product here. I really do notice that
it (MW1 MightyKool) is there. As a matter of fact I love the little
thing and have already shown it to a co-worker whom I hope does
not steal it out of my Jeep. I cannot find any fault with this
at all." D. E. Redlands, CA
COOL CAR ON A HOT DAY IN STRATFORD CANADA:
I used the unit (IM30) last weekend, It gave a nice cooling breeze
in the car on an hour drive. I stopped to get a coffee and realized
how well it worked as I opened the door and got out of the car
and found out how hot it was. It was like getting out on my buddys
Yukon with the air conditioning. Very happy with the way it works.
Were have 95 + weather this week, 125F it you count humidity".
T. M. Stratford, Ontario Canada.
TRIP FROM WASHINGTON TO CALIFORNIA COMFORTABLE USING THE MW1:
"The Swampy MW1 Cooling System kept my 80 year old dad comfortable
while driving his car from Seattle, WA to Palm Springs, CA in
August 2006. I was very worried about him driving without air
conditioning. He placed the Cooler on top of a small box in the
passenger seat so that it was about level with his chest. He secured
it all in place with bungee cords. The Cooler was easy to use
and it worked great! He flicked it on and off, as needed. Thanks
very much for the peace of mind your cooler has given me and the
comfort it gave Dad. Sincerely, K. R." Coupeville, WA
MIGHTYKOOL BREEZE PROVIDES COOL RELIEF IN AUSTRALIA:
I have just returned from an across Australia road trip. The Mighty
Kool MW1 performed well. Temperatures were around 35-38Celsius
when I stopped for a break in the late afternoons. The considerable
breeze provided a cool relief and even kept the flies and insects
at bay (an unexpected bonus!) Thanks again, R. B. Merlbourne,
Australia
THE IM30 IS BETTER THAN EXPECTED:
"The IM30 works much better than I expected after reading
your literature. I wish I had picked one up last year. . . "
S. A. Las Vegas, NV.
COULD REALLY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE ON TRIP AROUND COLORADO &
WESTERN KANSAS:
"Used the Swampy (T154) on my just completed trip to Colorado.
It worked great once we reached the low humidity zones towards
western Kansas. And once in Colorado we could really feel the
difference. It was in the high 90's and we were able to travel
comfortably with the windows up and only the sliding rear window
open just enough to vent the humid exhaust air. My truck is equipped
with a 15 amp fuse to the cigar lighter and it handled the unit
without any problems. Thanks." J. O. Rogers, AK.
SAVED $1,800 IN INSTALLING AN AIR CONDITIONER IN A VEHICLE:
"I want to let you know that my Mighty Kool is doing very
well! At this time I just have it sitting on the floor on the
passenger side with the vents aimed up at me. We've had a few
hot days (close to 100, which is very hot for Seattle) and I have
made a trip down to central Oregon (high desert) and used my cooler
the entire way...I'm so happy that I don't have to pay $1800 to
have air conditioning installed. Thank you!" M. B. Seattle,
WA.
NOISE REDUCTION FOR THE TRIP IN THE OLD CAR:
Now that I have used the unit for a few days I wanted to get back
in touch with you. Yes, I am pleased with the unit. It is not
air Conditioning, but is a big step up from the heat of stop and
go traffic and the noise of driving down the freeway with the
windows down. It sits on the passenger seat next to me on the
box it shipped in. I think it makes the cabin feel like it's in
the mid 80 degree range, certainly not like A/C, but far more
tolerable. I would recommend this unit to anyone with a situation
similar to mine. Old car, driving alone, and a steep repair bill
to fix the A/C. Thanks, J. G. Denver, CO.
HAVE TO PRY IT OUT OF HIS FINGERS FROM HIS DEAD BODY TO GET HIS
SWAMPY:
"Just wanted to let you know; the only way you would be getting
this unit back (IM30) is if someone could pry it out of my fingers
of my cold, dead body! And I now know God's name. It's Jack (just
kidding, but you are truly my savior)! You want to use this for
a testimonial of your product, go for it!!! THANK YOU," L.
W. F. Raleigh, NC.
APPRECIATE SERVICE AND THE SWAMPY WORKS GREAT:
"Thanks again for your prompt and courteous assistance. Tried
out Swampy (T154) and it works great. Thanks again." P. H.
Tigard, OR.
QUALITY CONTROLS AND DESIGN LIKE THE SWAMPY HARD TO FIND
ON ANY PRODUCT:
I received the IM30 yesterday, Monday - thanks for such prompt
shipping... A beautiful piece of equipment - well made with quality
controls. Love the patriotic pump. I ran it today for four hours
after going thru all instructions. Real nice. It is a product
that fits that hard-to-find-quality-really works!- kind of item
that we often times are looking for but can rarely find.…
Am I looking forward to our Summer Heat to use and enjoy it? I'll
let you come up with your own answer.....! Thanks again, D. M.

FLEX HOSE KIT
(This is a new product in 2009 which will be added to as we get
reports to us).
MW1 & FLEX HOSE COOLS BUS DRIVER AND PASSENGER:
Got the hoses set up in the bus . Check the photos. One vent is
only 4 inches from my face. Another hose is for a couple passengers
behind me. I use those tiny camp lantern stretch cords to fasten
the hoses Looks like I'll be able to cut some excess hose for
easier portability. I think this setup will work well this summer,
Thanks !! C. P. Portland, OR (city bus driver)

SURVEILLANCE:
BEST SUMMER EVER DOING SURVEILLANCE:
"This has been the best summer ever doing surveillance work.
Your cooling system (IM30) does the trick. I'm on first name basis
with the snowball stand owners around here. I'm a block ice buying
maniac. Thanks again" S. B. Baton Rouge, LA.
DID NOT LIKE THE JO COOL BUT LOVES THE M300:
We called and the customers wife said he loves it (for surveillance)
and hatted the JoCool so he is very happy with it and some of
the other guys will probably getting in touch with us. D. U. Phoenix,
AZ.
THE LIFE SAVING AC12 IN A GANG RIDDEN NEIGHBORHOOD:
"I just have to say the AC12 Unit I got has been a life saver
literally. I was just in a gang ridden neighborhood In southern
California . With the summer heat on us the temperature outside
was well over 100°. Since I work as a surveillance investigator
the option to roll down my windows or break off the case would
not be good for our clients results so luckily I had my AC12 with
me. I was able to sit on my targets address all day and I was
able to obtain more information and video than had to be literally
been brought to our client in over a three year investigation.
Even though neighbors looks strangely at my car I am sure they
didn't suspect that there was a person inside watching them."
Jeff S. Hemet, CA.
WE NEVER RECOMMEND THIS MODEL FOR SURVEILLANCE, HOWEVER THIS GENTLEMAN
KEEPS WINDOWS OPEN IN A DRY CLIMATE: (very unusual surveillance)
I am using my new Mighty Cool MW1 as we speak. It works great!
I bring a gallon jug of water with me out of the fridge each morning
when I get into my surveillance van, and the cooler is a breeze
to fill. One jug lasts all day. I love it. No more sweat, even
at 100 F. Best investment that I've made all year. K. Private
Investigator Sacramento, CA
ORDERED ANOTHER FOR SURVEILLANCE AS THEY HAVE FIVE SWAMPYS
NOW:
Customer called and wants another IM30 (for surveillance) &
he said they have about four of these plus an AC12 and one they
had a problem with is working great now. S. W. Kernersville, NC.
DESPERATE FOR A PART FOR THE M300:
I ordered a swampy M300 MightyKool cooler a few months back. I
love the cooler and the way it keeps my van cool especially on
these days of 94+ degrees. I have a problem though. I accidentally
broke of the control switch knob. Could you please send me a new
switch ASAP because I do alot of surveillance work out of my van
and I'm suffering without it. A. N. Porterville, CA
STAYING ALERT AND NOT NEAR AS TIRED BY THE END OF THE DAY:
Thank you for this wonderful M300 MightyKool product as it has
been used every day (for surveillance) since receiving it two
weeks ago except yesterday. I am more alert all day long and not
nearly as tired at the end of the day. L. G. Crossville, TN.
ODERING ANOTHER AS IS A GREAT COMBINATION OF EVAPORATIVE COOLING
AND ICE CORE CHILLING:
"Actually I ordered two IM 30's from you already and I was
impressed with how well it was designed and the feedback from
the field operators is laudatory. The IM30 is a great combination
of evaporative cooling and ice core chilling that is rugged and
makes efficient use of the ice. There is no messy condensation
to deal with and the unit is well built around a terrific design.
This one is for me and I can't wait to get it. Best regards"
C. V. Freeland, MI.
ICESTER AC12 PURCHASED LAST YEAR WORKS GREAT:
"Just wanted to let you know that the Icester I bought last
year works great! Doing surveillance work in the summertime is
brutal and the Icester makes it do-able, if not comfortable. The
only problem I have is finding block ice to use. People think
I came from the past when I ask if they carry block ice. But that's
not your problem. Thought you would like to know that you have
another satisfied customer." L. E. New Castle, DE. (We find
that ice cubes carry more solid ice than the blocks)
NICE AND COOL WITH JUST THE LOW SETTING:
"I received my M300 on Monday. I used it today when the sun
finally got to my car. Nice and cool with just the low setting.
I expect I should be able to endure the hot surveillance days
now that I have this unit. Thank you for suggesting the M300.
I like its size and minimal power usage." E. D. E. Boulder,
CO
THE SWAMPY ICESTER A/C UNIT IS AWSOME:
"By the way, If I had not said it before, your AC unit (AC12)
is Awesome (for surveillance). If you need a quote for marketing,
we would love to provide it." B. R. Cameron Park, CA. (Statement
made when ordering three more AC12 models).
CLAIMS THE WELL INSULATED VAN GETS DOWN TO 70 DEGREES:
This customer called again and ordered another IM30 & said
the fellow that using the one they ordered claims he can get the
van down to 70 degrees and all Steve's other guys are sweating.
The Van is well insulated and partitioned from the front &
used for surveillance. S.W. Columbia, SC.
THE IM30 IS WORKING GREAT:
"My IM30 cooler is working great." (for surveillance)
J. G. Pomona, CA.
REFERED BY ANOTHER P.I. WHO LOVES IT FOR SURVEILLANCE:
"They called as referred by customer #20.... J. M. (Fullerton,
CA.) who bought a AC12 two years ago and loves it (for surveillance)."
Then R. K. ordered 2 (two) AC12 Icesters. R. K. Huntington Beach,

ENJOYING THE COOL AIR, WORKS GREAT IN GLENWOOD CANADA:
"Hi we received the swamp cooler (T304) today and enjoying
the cool air already, works great! Thanks" Y. & B. A.
Glenwood, Alberta, Canada.
USING A MK3 IN DUSTY CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA
Thank you for the unit (Model MK3 MightyKool). have tried it and
works better than expected. have found 3lt frozen plastic milk
bottles to work the most efferent. approx 1lt an hr. I also use
an ice vest for wiper snipping keeping my body temp. cooler all
day long. Will send you a photo of my cab on the Ztrak Mower when
I get time. The unit also acts as a air purifier and I feel less
need to wear a mask in Dusty Conditions. Im sure you will get
a few more sales from Moree after a few people see my setup. C.
T. Moree Australia
THE SWAMPY IS A TRUE ASSET TO THE RANCH OPERATION:
"This is in regard to the Swampy T304 that we purchased with
a complaint that it was leaking. I was informed to send it back
when I had finished (harvest) with it along with a letter stating
my problem and a sticky note detecting where the leak had occurred.
Please note this and repair as we find this a true asset to our
ranch operation. Thank you for your prompt action. Sincerely"
T. V. Valier, MT.
TEMPERAURE UP TO 92 DEGREES BUT THE TRACTOR CAB WAS COOL IN CRAVEN
CANADA:
"Just thought I'd Drop you a Line Pertaining to the (IM30)
cooler I purchased, we installed it in a late model tractor and
had 80 acres of hay to cut the temperature went up to 92 F but
the cab stayed quite nice and cool, we loaded it several times
with block ice and are pleased with our purchase. No one here
in Canada has even heard of an ice cooler we'll spread the word."
D.B. Craven, Saskatchewan Canada
THE SWAMPY IS THE FIRST SYSTEM THEY SEEN THAT WORKS:
The IM30 works terrific in this big truck and my boss may be in
contact as they have 60 trucks and this is the first system they
have seen that works. R.P. Flint, MI.
USED IN THE SWISS ARMY TROOP CARRIER & IN EMERGENCY IN THE
HOME:
I use the cooler (M300) primarily in my Pinzgauer. This is an
ex-Swiss army troop carrier. In the truck it uses 12vdc. The cooler
has also been used inside my house recently when the swamp cooler
died. It worked very well keeping a small room cool while I repaired
the house cooler. Of course it used the 110vac then. G.B. Tucson,
AZ
ORDERING BECAUSE HIS BUDDY USES ONE IN POSTAL CARRIER!
I am order the MW1 MightyKool because a postal friend of his has
had a MW1 for a year and he stacks up a couple of the mail bins
& puts the MW1 on top of them and uses the bag to keep it
full. He added on to the hose (on the bag) as he puts the bag
a long ways away. A. V. Tucson, AZ.
KNOWS IT WILL WORK AS FRIEND HAS THE SAME MODEL FOR HIS ECONOLINE:
I have my new Swampy T154 cooler. It fits just right in my 66
Ford Econoline. I know it will work great, because my friend has
one in his 64 Econoline. Thank you for quick delivery. J. G. Tucson,
AZ.
MOUNTED MW1 IN REAR SLIDING WINDOW OF A FORD RANGER PICKUP:
"Well...My Ford Ranger truck doesn't have AC any longer.
It finally gave out and I got several estimates that placed it
well beyond the resale value of the truck...and anyway, I love
my truck. I looked on-line a year ago and found you all. I decided
to suffer with the heat but this year I drew the line...I had
to have some relief. I was especially surprised when you all tried
to talk me out of buying a product in favor of fixing my truck
AC but I just wouldn't have it! I purchased your smallest swamp
cooler and was not impressed! Then I remembered that you have
to have circulating air in the cab of the truck for the evaporative
theory to work. I then mounted the swampy to fit in the rear window
so that it would have a fresh supply of outside air. J. B. Albuquerque,
NM
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE!
I can now drive during the hottest days with the window cracked
a few inches to re-circ the air and it keeps the cab relatively
cool! I was a skeptic but am now a believer. I want to than you
all for your time you spent with me on the phone and in helping
me choose the right system for my vehicle. I can go out the State
Fair Grounds early in the morning to shop at the Flea Market and
not have to worry about getting home before the truck heats up.
Just plug in the swampy (MW1 MightyKool) and away I go!
I can even eat lunch in the truck during the week (that\'s where
my XM Satellite Radio is) and listen to the news in comfort."
S. D. Albuquerque, NM.
LETTER CARRIER FRIEND LOVES IT:
"I am a letter carrier in Dallas Texas where it isn't only
hot, hot, hot, but is also humid. A letter carrier friend who
lives in Bakersville, CA bought your Swampy Model MW-1 and she
says she loves it and it works great." g. m. Dallas, TX.
IRAQ VEHICLES IN BAGHDAD, IRAQ:
"The coolers (M300's) are being used in the Bradleys (armored
tracked vehicles)." L.D. Baghdad, Iraq
WIFE CANNOT SURVIVE AS LETTER CARRIER WITH THIS COOLING:
"My Swampy (S154) arrived safe and sound today. Thanks very
much for your fine service and great product. My wife is a letter
carrier here in AZ and can't survive the summers without one of
these!" D. W. Scottsdale, AZ
FEELS BETTER AFTER A DAY IN THE TRUCK WITH A SWAMPY:
I wanted to let you know that the swampy T154 has been superb..
just the thing in our old trucks. I can't tell you how much better
I feel after a day in the cab vs. the 100 degree heat we were
living with before.. I'll be buying them for our other trucks
this fall. Thanks, J. B. Milton-Freewater, OR.
LETTER CARRIER IS A BELIEVER
NOW:
"When I first seen the size of this machine (MW1 MightyKool)
I was not sure this would work for me. The last 2 days that I
have used it made me a believer. When I tell my fellow carriers
how much I paid for it they just think it's too much. But others
want your web site which I gladly share." H. G. Tuscon, AZ
BUS DRIVER IN PORTLAND, OR:
"Well, today was our first hot day in Portland, 90 degrees
with about 30% humidity. I decided to try out the (MW1) Mightykool,
and it was better than expected, with nice cool air coming out.
It was almost as cool as the Icester. At first I had a hard time
trying to locate a good place on the bus for it, so it would cool
my upper body. Believe it or not I ended up setting it on the
sun visor of all places, I just wear a visor hat on my head to
keep the sun off.The sun visor is large with a knob to adjust
tightness. Once you get it so it's flat like a shelf, and nice
and tight, you can set anything that's light on it. So I strapped
that Mightykool down with a stretch cord and it stayed up there
all day. The cord is long enough to reach down to the battery
on the floor. With the vents only about a couple feet from my
face, I could stay cool all day long. You guys should expand,
and sell this product in automotive departments across the west.
It works great !!" Chris, Portland, OR.
BIG DIFFERENCE (IN COOLING) IN CATERING TRUCK IN UNITED KINGDOM:
"Many thanks for your speedy reply! I need the cooling unit
(S154) as I have a catering business and would like to try the
unit in the back of one of my delivery vans. I realise that it
won't make a huge difference to the temperature but it was such
a freakishly hot summer here last year any reduction would be
a bonus! The vans are small anyway (suzuki supercarry) and are
partitioned with the part to be cooled measuring roughly 3 x 4
x 5 feet. We have 4 large shelves facing the door and think we
can adapt the top shelf to house the unit (even if part of it
has to poke through the partition and we seal it). If it does
make a little difference I will contact you to order one for my
other van. Any advice would be appreciated! (later) Apart from
this problem (pump) its been excellent and has made a big difference
to the temp in the van and we would totally recommend them to
anyone. thanks again! Sal" Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, United
Kingdom.
EMJOYS THE M300 IN A TOYOTA MOTORHOME:
"I was just reading the Toyota motorhome site and the discussion
of AC came up. They were discussing the use of portable units.
I told them about my M300 and put your web site address for anyone
to find details. I didn't attempt to tell them how it works. Hopefully
it will expose your company to a lot more people who can enjoy
their swampy as much as I do. " J.H. Redding, CA.
IT HAS BEEN "HOT" AND THEY LOVE IT:
"I have tried the Mighty Kool, been on 2 short road trips
during the day, it has been hot and I love it!!!!! You are right,
it isn't factory air but you know what????? it is a darn sight
better than nothing. I will try to take a picture of how I have
it rigged up.... the cooler balances on the back of the seat,
in front of the slider window, and is held stable by a bungee
cord..... seems to work just fine, altho probably not very conventional
setting. Hope to get a shelf built eventually..... so all is well.
Thank you for your product and keep up the good work, and service.
It has been a pleasure doing business with you. I also would add
that your website works well. That's it for now." S. G. Missoula,
MT.
WORKS GREAT IN THE LIFT TRUCK:
" I received the #MW1 - Mighty Kool unit that you had recommended,
and it works great. We will be mounting this unit on our: Crown
Turret Lift Truck here at our company. Perhaps sometime in the
future I would like to buy one for myself to use on my boat and
my brothers 1951 Willys Jeep. Again Sir - I would like to THANK
YOU, Very Much! and hope to do business with you soon. K. M. Missouri
City, TX.
ANOTHER "WORKS GREAT" IN A POSTAL VEHICLE:
"Just want to let you know the MW1 works great, I seem to
have perked a lot of interest in these swamp coolers. I've had
a lot of fliers handed out to not only postal workers, but other
people who work in the heat as well. Hope you get a lot of business
from Tucson. Thanks again." G. G. Tucson, AZ.
THE HEAT WAS ABOUT TO "KILL" MARC SO SURE MADE A DIFFERENCE
IN THE TRUCK:
"Just wanted you to know the "Swampy" (T154) arrived
yesterday, our 9th day of over 100 degrees. We used it today and
it sure made a difference in the truck. Thank you for getting
it here to quick. It probably saved Marc's life...I was about
ready to kill him. : ) Thanks again," J. R. Eagle, ID.
PRO-GATOR TRUCK CAB WITH ALMOST PERFECT RESULTS IN PEACE RIVER
CANADA:
"The cooler (IM30) was installed in the Pro-Gator cab, water
was plumbed from the fresh water storage on the sprayer tank.
The unit works well except when I shut it off..... all the water
from the tank siphons back into the cooler, so I have to get out
of the cab quickly and pull the quik coupler apart for 5-10 seconds.
Other than that.... perfect results." D. U. Peace River,
Alberta, Canada (The IM30 model cannot be mounted lower than the
water source)
MAY PREVENT HEAT STROKE WITH UNDERGROUND UTILITY CREW IN PHOENIX,
AZ AREA:
"Just to give you feedback the cooler (MW1) works fantastically.
Our crew takes it down into the excavation hole with them and
then fight over who repairs the electric lines. I assume now we
likely will be ordering several more of these units. I am simply
waiting on approval from upper management. You know how our heat
here way out west. Anything we can do to cool the workplace in
mid-summer will aid in preventing heat exhaustion or even heat
stroke. Our crews work in Power Restoration so the pressure is
always on to get the homeowners and business owners back in power
when our underground lines fail." Regards Tom - Phoenix,
AZ.
SAVING GAS IN THE 350 CHEVY BY USING A MIGHTYKOOL INSTEAD OF TURNING
ON THE A/C:
"I received the unit I ordered today (MW1) and would like
you to know I am very happy with the product I showed it off to
several neighbors and I pointed out the fact that I can drive
my 73 chevy with the big 350 motor and stay comfortable with evaporative
cooling without burning all the gas I did with the a/c."
J.Y. Mesquite, TX.
TOOK THE EDGE OFF THE HEAT IN A CRANE IN LACONIA, NH:
"Used my MW1 for the first time today. it is about 41% humidity
here in NH and 93 degrees it worked as I thought it would it took
the edge of the heat. I did not want to move out of the crane
because it was keeping me cool. Thanks for your help." D.W.
Laconia, NH.
FARM TRUCK IS HOME FOR A SWAMPY AND IT WORKS GREAT:
My Father in law uses the T304 in his farm truck and it works

it works great! T. M. Havre, MT.

CLASSIC VEHICLES:
GREAT LOOKING PRODUCT USED IN IASAC WORLD FINALS IN MIAMI:
"I must say that your company has some great looking products.
I came across your product (AC12) for the first time when I was
at Auto stereo competition (IASAC World Finals) a couple of weeks
ago and notice one of the Expert competitors use this little box
with hose running to the under side of the car. I said "So
man what the the \"H\" are the guys doing"? They
said the cooler system is to keep the car cool before the judges
have to inter the car and said it also cools all the stereo system
amps. I said "this is what I have be looking for as I also
a stereo competition vehicle." M.B. Miami, FL.
WITH WINDOWS UP AND VENTS OPEN VERY COMFORTABLE IN VW BAJA/BUG:
"Hello... About 2 weeks ago I bought a cooler from you guys,
model #T154, I just wanted to drop a quick note to commend your
company on a fine, well built product you have developed. I drive
a 1974 VW Baja/Bug that I absolutely love, except during the hot
season.... until now. With my vent wings open and my windows rolled
up, the T154 keeps me VERY comfortable. Basically I just wanted
to thank you, I\'m very proud of my swampy.... and I\'m sure you
guys are too." M.W Palm Springs, Ca.
PROSCHE USING THE T154 AROUND LOMPOC, CA:
"The T154 arrived today in good shape and I have read instructions
and can't wait to get it broken in on my next trip in the Porsche.
I will check the wiring as recommended in the instructions. Thanks"
G. G. Lompoc, CA.
SWAMPY DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO ON A 90 DEGREE DAY:
"Well, given your ad, which reads like a IPO prospectus issued
under SEC guidelines, I had serious doubts about your product.
In fact, I think it is manly to drive around with the 120 degree
wind in your hair. But my wife begs, nay , insists otherwise.
And your product, (IM30) much to my surprise, did what it was
supposed to do on a 90 degree day here in Santa Fe. I have never
had the inside temperature of my ¹72 Ford lower then the
outside temperature in the summer (or, luckily, in the winter).
My compliments to the chef." R. R. Santa Fe, NM
WILL BE COOL DRIVING A CLASSIC TO THE CAR CLUB MEETINGS WITH A
SWAMPY:
"Hey, Just got the swampy and got it hooked up in my car.
Feels like it will be just right for getting myself across town
in traffic. It was 106 yesterday, and close to that today. Looks
like I'll be nice and COOOOOOOL driving to the Car Club meetings
this year. Thanks again, the T-154 is just what I needed,"
J. S. Las Vegas, NV.
EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS AS COOLS FROM 97 DEGREES TO 75 DEGREES:
"It was here when I got home (24 Hrs. - Not Bad). Filled
(T154) half full and went for a ride with it on medium. Exceeds
my expectations. The old sedan has an under-dash fresh air vent
and that along with a windwing open -seemed to cool the whole
car down. 97 outside 73 - 75 inside. This is going to work fine.
Now my wife'll go places with me. I think it'll even work OK in
the '62 roadster with the top up for touring. I'm impressed. Expect
more orders from my MA pals and thank you for good business."
P. W. St. David, AZ.
CLASSIC CORVAIR IN PHOENIX, AZ:
"Check out this webpage to see how your Swampy (T154) looks

WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL IN BEECH BONANZA:
The cooler (MK3) works amazingly well in my beech bonanza. All

RAN FOR TWO HOURS ON RAMP ON 95 DEGREE HUMID DAY PRODUCED 65 DEGREE
A36 CABIN TEMPERATURE:
This customer called us at Swampy and said he ran his IM30 in
the A36 (Bonanza Aircraft) for two hours on the ramp backed up
with a battery charger on an unbearably humid, 95 degree day and
the temperature in the A36 was 65 degrees! He thinks he used three
7 pound bags of ice and after hour and half the ice was gone.
D.S. Kingswood, TX.
THE M300 PERFORMS WONDERFULLY SO SEND ANOTHER FOR THE OWNERS AIRCRAFT:
Thanks for your note, Jack. I'm so glad we are getting the chance
to order another M300. I originally bought the first one for my
airplane. I am responsible for the transportation of the CEO of
S. M. When the owner of the company heard about our air conditioner,
he wanted one for his plane too! I guess the plane's air conditioner
doesn't get as cold as he wants as fast as he wants. Anyway, mine
has been working wonderfully. A hot summer day is now enjoyable
in the plane. Thanks for your help again. Looking forward to receiving
the M300 soon. S. J. Arkansas
COOLS THE PILOT AND PASSENGER IN 105 DEGREE HEAT BY FITTING BETWEEN
REAR SEATS OF P35:
"Hey Jack You were right the IM 30 ice model works great
in my Bonanza P35 model. It fits nicely on the back seat floor,
cools the pilot and the passengers. I flew it on a 105 degree
day closed all of the doors windows and vents and during the taxi
and runup phase it kept me cool and happy during that ten minutes
of being on the hot asphalt. I then kept it on for another 30
minutes as I got to altitude and then turned it off,after cruising
for 2 hours I started the descent and turned the IM 30 on again
and ran it for another thirty minutes untill I landed and shut
down the plane. Unbeleivably there was still enough ice left in
my small cooler to run probably another 20 minutes. It works best
when you can get the flow of air on your face but so does a auto
air conditioner. You just saved me 25,000 dollars in cost to put
in a freon system. Your system even with the weight of 30lbs of
ice is 43 pounds lighter than a freon system. Thanks R. J. H.
Scottsdale, AZ
MY PILOT FRIENDS DON'T HAVE TO SWEAT ANYMORE IN THE 182:
"I recently purchased the Swampy M200 Ice model for use in
my Cessna 182. I spoke to you on the phone and told you I would
let you know how it works. I am very pleased with the product.
I use the rear seat belt to hold it in. That permits the air to
be blown on both the passenger and the pilot. The units works
quite well, and I do get anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of
use. I typically use it taxiing and until I reach altitude. Then
I pull the plug. On reaching pattern altitude I plug it back in,
and I usually have plenty of cooling left to make it to the hanger.
All my pilot friends are tickeled we don\'t have to sweat while
waiting for takeoff. Thanks for the recommendation and for a great
product. I recommend it to all my pilot buddies." B.W.
Phoenix, AZ June 2006
BARON "IS FAR BETTER"
WHEN COOLED WITH A IM30:
Here are a few pictures of the unit in my Baron (in baggage area).
I used velcro and a strap to secure it to the plane as you can
see. I did block out the side vents because I want as much throw
of the air as possible. On my last flight I noticed that the units
air becomes ineffective if the cabin vents are open. The two air
masses collide and obviously the cool air does not get to me in
the front. None the less it is far better it was. Sincerely, H.
J. Colorado
ANOTHER BARON WITH A COOLER CABIN WITH A M300:
Got it in today and put it in the airplane this afternoon. I was
impressed with its (M300) ability to knock the edge off the cabin
running off a jump start battery for 10 minutes ( normal preflight)
I left it running for an hour and it continued to blow good cool
65-70 degree air. T. P. North Carolina
COOL CUSTOMER
I have received the M200, put ice in it and, voilla, it gives
me a 39 degrees in my house, so, I cant wait to hook it up in
my airplane, thank you for a great and simple invention, that
makes our life much easier to cope with, Y. B. Van Nuys, CA.
ONE FOR EACH AERO COMANDER & EVEN REMOVED THE
AIRCRAFT A/C:
S.H. of Myrtle Beach, SC ordered his 2nd MightyKool M300 in March
of 2006 as he uses them in 7 passenger Commander Aircraft. They
operate them on a "jump start" battery so they do not
have to tie into the 24/28 volt power system of the aircraft.
They removed the compressor belt of the built in aircraft air
conditioning system as it did not cool the aircraft anyway &
puts strain on an engine so now they cool the cabins with the
Model M300.
SOLD THE BARON AND NEW OWNER INSISTED THE IM20 GOES WITH IT:
"It is definitely a great thing to have too much business!
By any chance do you have the IM20 12-volt in stock? If so I will
switch to it but if not I will keep the IM30 on back-order. The
two IM30 units I put in the Beech 18 have been working great and
the 28-volt IM20 in the Baron has been doing well too. I recently
sold the Baron and the buyer insisted the IM20 went with it! This
unit will go in a Wing Derringer (small two place twin) which
has a canopy style entry so it gets nice and hot. I recently posted
on the Cessna Pilots Association forum how happy I am with your
product and encouraged them to contact you. Thanks" K. L.
O, NE.
VERY HAPPY WITH FIRST SWAMPY SO SEND ANOTHER TO KAWAGUCHI
JAPAN:
"I am interested in buying another model. I have purchased
a 12v swampy (IM20) in the past and am very happy with it."
D. T. Kawaguchi, Japan.
BLEW COOL ENOUGH AIR, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE:
"Unit arrived on time and in one piece (for Cherokee). Took
it down to the airport for a trial run with the gang and though
we only had one bag of ice, it blew cool air (enough to keep the
inside of my pickup cool on a fairly hot day) for one full hour,
pretty impressive". R. T. Torrence, CA

PETS:
FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS
OUR PET WENT CAMPING:
The MW1 made it possible to take our English Bulldog camping for
the first time in four years! Due to unexpected 80 - 90 degree
weather and the Bulldogs' sensitivity to heat, I called to order
my MW1 last minute out of desperation. I was pleasantly surprised
to have the MW1 arrive by express delivery overnight, just in
time for our trip. We used the MW1 to cool our Bulldog in our
car and on our boat. She loved it, and she laid right in front
of the unit without panting for hours. If we only knew about the
MW1 sooner, it would have saved us a lot of heartache and worrying.
The MW1 is so small and compact, it is really neat. My Dad liked
it so much that he ordered one for my Grandmother to keep on her
nightstand for the upcoming summer months. Thank you so much."
D.A. Vallejo, CA
REGGIE DIDN'T GET OVERHEATED
AT ALL:
"It was 90 degrees and sunny & I took my dog Reggie with
me. When I've had Reggie in a little too much heat for too long
before, he was always very lethargic at the end of the day. This
past Saturday, he laid in front of the MW1 turned on low, and
he didn't get overheated at all. That afternoon/evening, he was
full of energy and begging to play Frisbee. The MW1 is the best
investment I've made for my little buddy. Also, when it's gotten
REALLY hot, I've had to keep him in doggie-daycare (which he hates)
when I knew I wouldn't be able to keep him cool enough, so this
unit will pay for itself in a very short time, and I get to keep
him with us and keep him happier." D.S. Colorado Springs,
CO
WORKED GREAT FOR THE DOGS IN A CAMPER SHELL:
Wanted you to know I received the M300 on time - used it this
weekend - worked great! Thanks. R. C. Greenwater, WA
KEPT THE CATS FROM DYING OF HEAT STROKE IN NORTH CAROLINA:
The air conditioner (MW1 Evaporative Cooler) I bought from you
worked great! The car wasn't as cool as it would have been with
a normal vehicle air conditioner, but it kept the car cooler and
most importantly kept my cats from dying of heat stroke. It is
the perfect size for setting between the front seats of my (Nissan
Pickup) truck. I will definitely continue to use it through the
hot month of August in North Carolina. Thank you for all your
help while I was shopping around! W. B. North Carolina (unusual
as we do not recommend this model in humid areas).
THE FOURLEGGED BUDDY STAYED COMFORTABLE:
"Got my swampy yesterday, 93 here today but an unusual 65%
humidity and had to go to Lubbock (TX) to another unit. So stayed
pretty comfortable. I am happy with the unit and will recommend
it to other "hot" friends. Thank you thank you D. W.
and Jackson (he is my fourlegged buddy, that likes it too."
COOLED THE REAR CARGO AREA FOR THE K9:
"I have a Ford Explorer 2 Door. The back seat is folded down
to accept the cage for my K9, I place the MK4 behind the front
seats centered (behind armrest/console) with unit blowing towards
cage (rear). My model Explorer has no rear A/C vents. I have not
tried it without the A/C running, but when it is, the MK4 works
great cooling the rear cargo area. Thanks Again," B. Q. Dallas,
TX.
THE CATS ARE ALSO PLEASED IN MACON, GA:
"The Mightykool (MK4) arrive last night, got it running this
afternoon. I really like it and it is putting out cool air, the
cats are coming close by. I'm really pleased with it so far, and
the cats are too, most importantly." O.G. Macon, GA.

SOLAR:
COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW SMALL IT WAS:
We recieved our cooler, sooner than expected! Super fast shipping.
Took the cooler (MW1) out of the box and was suprised at how small
it is.. Had my doubts as to whether or not is was going to work.
Plugged it in to the 12 v outlet in the house and off it went.
It kept the kitchen living room cool for the whole afternoon.
It was 98 deg outside but nice and cool inside. Thank you thank
you thank you thank you... S. and L. p.s. feel free to publish
this... This is a truly fantastic product and you deserve all
the sucess. S. L. P. Palmdale, CA.
WORKS BETTER THAN THEY HOPED:
I got my cooler (MW1) on tuesday and I have to say it works great!
I am off-grid using solar power so I was looking for spot cooling
that would not drain my batteries. This works better than I had
hoped! Looking forward to a cool summer. Thanks. D. K. Fresno,
CA.
ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN I THOUGHT AND VERY COOL:
Finally got the MW1 unpacked and checked it out yesterday, very
cool! And I mean that both ways. It's actually smaller than I
thought, which is good, it's primarily for my truck camper. I'm
building a house, will remain off the grid and right now only
have the garage with a few batteries and a solar panel, wind gen
to be installed soon (I hope!) C. B. Meadview, AZ
COULD RUN ALL DAY ON A 40-WATT SOLAR PANEL:
"I received the unit today. It certainly blows cool air.
Unfortunately for me, we are experiencing very unusual (for this
area) high humidity, so the cooler air was not without a price.
The sticky humidity is uncomfortable, and the MW1doesn't help
with that much at all. (However) compared to a fan, which was
blowing nothing but warm air, it was definitely much cooler. It
appears to draw about the amount of power you said on your website,
so if I wanted to I could run it on high all day with a 40-watt
solar panel and into the night using a battery. I plan to take
it on my next camping trip. I also have an older car without air
conditioning, so I can use it there. I can also use it in my workshop
when the humidity is lower. And if the power grid ever goes down,
I'll have a backup cooling system, which could be a life saver.
Anyway, thanks for a solid product!" T. S. Ojai, CA
SOLAR & MIGHTYKOOL ALLOWS THOSE AFTERNOON NAPS
We just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how well our MW1
Mightykool worked for us in our trailer on the Playa at Black
Rock City. We run off of solar so this was a great way to cool
off and be able to nap during the 90 degree days. Thanks, C. C.
Jackson, WY.
THOUGHT THE MIGHTYKOOL MW1 WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE TASK:
"I have been traveling on the road in one type of rv or another
since 1993 and most of my stays end up being a type of boon docking.
For the last twenty years or so I have been doing tent revivals
and street ministering. Now I am in Texas, out in the desert and
I am REALLY boon docking now. I have been looking for a good swamp
cooler and until now have not been able to find one (sized for
my needs). The last one that I bought was a real disappointment.
I paid almost $300 for it and you can't feel it from three feet
away. Now that I have the boring part behind, here is the good
stuff. I was researching swamp coolers (again) on the internet
(we just got sat. internet out here) and came across your site.
After reading about the different coolers I decided to try your
MW1 MightyKool.
Well I had my wife give you a call, since she had to go to town
anyway and decided to give it a try. When the box came in and
she brought it home, I asked her, "Where is the rest of it?"
She said, "That's it!" I almost sent it back unopened.
Well, I went ahead and opened it up and was VERY surprised at
how small it was. I told my wife that I believe that we had been
ripped off. Anyway, I decided to give it a try, what could I lose?
Right? I could not believe how good it works! IT REALLY DOES WORK!
I have one solar panel on my camper and it is able to more than
keep up with it. I must say that I am impressed with your product.
The simplicity of the design shows that someone took a little
time to think this one out." R. E. Fabens, TX.
UNIT WORKS GREAT AND RUNS ON $70 SOLAR PANEL ON LOW:
I recently got the unit (MW1 MightyKool). Works great. Much better
than expected. Even works pretty well running of a $70 solar panel
that I got (only supports low speed). M. M. Reno, NV

SERVICE:
SEVEN YEAR OLD MODEL STILL GOING GREAT:
I have had the IM30 for over seven seasons and it still keeps
me cool in my VW Van during the hot California summers. I want
to add on to the hose so that I can mount the cooler in a different
location. Therefore thank you for developing such a strong dependable
product as I only had to replace the pump one time. K.C. California
BEST INTERNET SERVICE EVER ENCOUNTERED:

COOLING A 9 PASSENGER BUS IN THE UK:
Thanx for the advice and honesty - a lot of other resellers on
here gave me all the 'our product can do that!' bullshit - including
those kooleraire things........ Cheers, Tim - United Kingdom
CRACKED SEAM ON MIGHTYKOOL M200:
Thank you for the reply. I have some PVC glue in my shop to fix
the seam, problem solved. I used the cooler in my truck the last
few days at high 90's temps and it kept me comfortable with the
A/C off. So, I'm excited to use the cooler on a long trip next
weekend to the Texas high-desert so no time to send anything back.
I like products that can be fixed, I'm not a disposable guy. Good
customer assistance means allot more to me than a cracked seam.
Thanks, J. W. Texas
NO IMPORT DUTY INTO AUSTRALIA UNDER $1,000?
I received the cooler today, Tuesday.....that was quick. I don't
have to pay import duty on items under $1000, so it came straight

KOOLERAIRE DOES VERY LITTLE SO NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP ME COOL
SO DON'T HAVE TO QUIT JOB:
I bought the kooleraire, and its not working for me. I work parking
enforcement and have a cushman, its an enclosed motorcycle, next
week its gonna be 92 with high humidity, my kooleraire does very
little and it went bad in 30 days. I need something to keep me
cool before I quit my job due to heat! Sue Punta Gorda, FL.
BOUGHT A $40 KOOLER AIR. IT IS JUNK.
"Hello, I am interested in purchasing one of your products.
I have a standard pickup with no air conditioning, as my work
vehicle, I am in in the midwest and need something for the summer
to cool it down. I see some run on water and some ice? What is
going to cool better. I can refil as often as needed. Also can
it run without the vehicle running or will it kill the battery?
You can laugh but before I found your site I bought the $40 kooler
air. It is junk. I am working on returning it. Please give me
your suggestion to help my situation. R. S. Loves Park, IL (R.
S. ended up purchasing a AC12 Icester & is cool now)
COOLING CONTRACTOR LAUGHED AT KOOLERAIRE FEEDBACK SECTION:
"I just wanted to thank you for your website. I was looking
for some portable cooling info for a client and I came across
your site. I read through the Frequently aked questions and had
to laugh. Then I went to the (Koolaire) feed back section and
I couldnt believe the number of people who thought it would actually
work in the applications mentioned. I am a Heating & Cooling
Contractor and I understand the concepts of comfort. Your products
look great and I will be recommending your site to all who need
portable cooling." R.B. Yuba City, CA.
OFFICE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA:
"My cooler (MW1) came yesterday and, today, is working beautifully

MIGHTYKOOL HELPS MAKE THE COMPUTER ROOM MORE COMFORTABLE:
"Hi there, just wanted
to say I received my M200 today. I am using it primarily indoors
in a room where there is air conditioning, but because a computer
is running all day long, it gets too warm. I didn't want to use
a portable AC unit because it would cost a lot more than running
a 40 watt appliance. The evaporative cooling works great, even
though I live in Alabama, since the humidity inside is generally
around 40 to 45%. I have owned an evaporative cooler before, and
after feeling the air from the M200, it is questionable whether
the other cooler ever worked at all. I measured 78 degree air
going in and coming out at 66 degrees. I put my ice packs in their
and I was amazed that the air dropped another or 8 or 9 degrees.
Thank you for such a fine product. It is small, attractive, and
really does make my computer room much more comfortable. I am
really going to enjoy this cooler." S.S. Oxford, AL. March

VANAGON ARTICLE REGARDING
THE T154: (NOTE: We recommend the IM30
or M300 for much better performance)
Vanagon article that one of our customers submitted to his group:
"Back in June, I found that the archives contained nary a
report from anyone who'd actually used an evaporative cooler in
their vanagon. I took the plunge anyway and bought the Swampy
T154 (http://www.swampy.net/12vcombo.html) for a week-long July
trip through the Mojave Desert and Colorado Plateau. The upshot:
It worked well and kept us pretty comfortable. Here are the details:
PRICE
I think it's way overpriced (an ABS shell and reservoir, a couple
of fiber pads and a 3-speed blower that plugs into your cigarette
lighter socket). On the other hand, if you don't have AC and drive
in the low-humidity West, it's worth it. And it's way cheaper
than the Ram-Air. (NOTE: I guess it is
overpriced unless you consider that you have the smallest package
possible and still outperform coolers three times the size. That
is Swampy's technical expertise as it is simple to develop
this capacity in a large package but not in a small one).
PERFORMANCE
We were very glad to have the Swampy when we went through Needles
CA at 10 p.m. and it was still 100 degrees outside. It made an
otherwise death drive bearable. It won't put icicles on your nose
but it definitely cools down the interior. The thing will NOT
work in humid (back East) climates but for a low-humidity, desert
area it works surprisingly well. With its 3-speed fan, it moves
the cool air pretty far. With it sitting between the front seats,
I could feel it even while on the back bench seat. Our dog definitely
appreciated it and claimed the back-pointing vents as her own.
It's small enough to easily fit between the front seats and still
leave room enough to go back and forth to the back area. At 15
inches tall, however, the vents have trouble clearing the sides
to the front seats. Setting it on a little Rubbermaid tub, it
was perfectly positioned to get driver and passenger--plus the
rub kept it from tipping over on sharp curves. (Though it never
spit or spilled any water.) There's another model, the T304, that's
22 inches tall, which would clear the seat sides without a boost.
POWER ISSUES
When the Swampy's fan is on high, it draws 13.9 amps. I ran it
on high at one point but it zapped the dash clock, which went
entirely blank for a few minutes until reappearing with the proper
time. No other apparent effects but just to be safe I thereafter
ran it no higher than the middle setting, which was plenty high
actually. BTW, if you have a second deep-cycle battery, the manufacturer
says it will run 8-17 hours at low or medium speeds without charging.
That means you could potentially run it overnight while sleeping--the
cord's long enough to snake the unit back to the bench seat/bed.
LASTLY
You need to allow 3 one-hour sessions to initially flush the cooling
pads, so be sure to buy it a few days before you head into the
desert. Hope that helps--and now the info's in the archive for
future desert travellers!" N. H. Los Angeles, CA. 87 Westy

Some of the History of the Development of S&S Manufacturing
in Mesa, Arizona USA.
In 1989, at Mesa, Arizona USA, Jack
Stich (a transplant from South Dakota) and one of his three sons,
Steve Stich, set out to develop a 12-volt portable evaporative
cooler to help take the edge off the heat when built-in refrigerated
air conditioning was not a reasonable option. Since then, thousands
of people could tell you that we were successful in developing
the Swampy. While the Swampy business was in its
infancy Steve Stich had another idea and started his own successful
Western All-Tool Equipment Business, http://westernalltool.com.
In the early years the 12-volt Swampy product was contracted
out for manufacturing in a Fort Worth Texas plant and the first
Model was known as the SC1000. In 1992 the manufacturing
was moved back to the original development area in Mesa, Arizona
when S & S took over the manufacturing where it remains today.
One of Jack's other sons, Mark Stich joined this venture early
in 1997 and champions the production, warehouse & shipping
facility and is doing most of the R&D. Jack Stich is the webmaster
and handles most all the internet correspondence assisted by Shanna
Stich, Mark's wife.
Early on the Swampy was sold to Dealers in the Southwestern United States by word of mouth, not by marketing directly. Most Dealerships began because a customer had a friend that owned a Swampy and liked it so the customer wanted to know why the Dealer did not sell them. By 1995 there were three Swampy models and several more has been added since then. The Swampy T154 was always been the most popular model, however the MightyKool MW1 has taken the lead since it's introduction in 2004.
In 1998 S&S Manufacturing moved into larger quarters as they could not keep up with the Europe and the Internet demand. Each Swampy must be produced by hand, not on a fast moving production line. The Swampy Models are very small and put out a great volume of air for their size. This can create a problem if each one is not tested properly, which is impossible on a rapid production line. Today the Swampy is being shipped all over the world.
Demand in the United States increased greatly as the Swampy began its own Web Site starting in 1997 at www.swampy.net. Therefore more people than ever are familiar with and own Swampys. Jack and his son Mark still head up the Research and Development along with the Manufacturing. As the world shrinks in the vein of marketing, Swampys continue to grow in numbers and recognition. The demand for newer 12-volt cooling devises using the evaporation principle are evident, therefore Swampy Cooling Systems will continue to develop and produce a quality product.
In 1998 we developed a new type evaporative
cooler called a Blizzard that used ice and reusable ice
packs to help decrease the humidity common with evaporative cooling,
while increasing the cooling. Since 1995 we have been looking
into methods of developing a 12-volt Portable Air-Conditioner
that would not only produce cool air but also remove humidity
from the air.
We finally completed our long term goal in late 1999 by
developing and producing the Icester AC12.
In 2000 the biggest step forward in 12-volt cooling
took place with development of the dual cooling IceMystr
IM20 which replaced the Blizzard. This was soon
followed by the development of the IceStrMystr IM30.
However our biggest accomplishment with evaporative cooling was
the development of the MightyKool Series in 2004!
The MightyKool Series draws the lowest energy and
produces cooler air than any other evaporative cooler in the marketplace
today in either humid or dry air. With the need for 12-Volt Air
Conditioning that draws less energy than the Swampy models
we turned to the MightyKool Series and developed
the Dual Cooling M200 and M300 full blown 12-Volt
Air Conditioning that will operate from 25 to 30 hours on one
deep cycle battery that is not being charged! The M300 is very
popular for Surveillance and for pet use as you do not need ventilation
so that the windows in a vehicle may be kept closed. As these
two models have Dual Cooling systems they may be operated using
water only or for Air Conditioning they use Ice.
The next venture with the MightyKool Series was to develop
a Roof top Dual Cooling Air Conditioner in 2007 to be used
for Golf Carts, Farm & Construction Equipment. Therefore the
MG3 came into being and is mounted through the roof by
providing a 7" square hole and takes about one to two hour
to install. Since the M300 came to being the need for one more
model similiar to that, however with the stand along features
of the IM30 were needed. Therefore in 2008 the development
of the MK3 Dual cooling Air Conditioner began. This model
will be popular for Surveillance as well as Camping Boating and
Aircraft.
The small portable 12-volt Swampy SpaceKoolr
evaporative cooler will put out double the cooled air of any 110/220-volt
evaporative cooler of similar size. People use the Swampy
to cool themselves or their pets in vehicles, moving or stationary.
It is not possible to design a small portable cooler to cool an entire vehicle during the heat of the day. Two things prevent this ---- Size and/or Power needs. Notice the coolers on the rooftops of the vintage campers in the picture. Large 110/220-volt evaporative coolers do the job because power source and size are not a problem. Can you visualize one of them on or in your boat, van, golf car, tractor, rv, or camper?
If you require total comfort at all times then you must use a refrigerated air conditioner or one of our "Ice Water" Models. High humidity effects the operation of all evaporative coolers, including the Swampy. However, we have used our Swampy even when it has been raining and it still provided cool air. We sat in the car waiting for the rain to quit so we could set up our tent. For ideas on how humidity effects evaporative coolers see Humidity Index.
Pets love Swampy. When you leave your vehicle parked while you have lunch or shop, turn Swampy on low and your pet will be fine. Your vehicle is not going to be any cooler when you return, however your pet will be happy.
If you are a sporty person who wants a more comfort in the great outdoors, you will love your Swampy. To know more about Swampy continue reading below plus the information found in Frequently Asked Questions #6 and World Map. Otherwise consider ordering one now. Check the Prices.
Sitting under a shade tree during the heat
of the day provides relief. Sitting in the shade under the top
of a vehicle surrounded by glass during the heat of the day provides
misery. A Swampy provides relief in a vehicle during the
heat of the day like a shade tree, not comfort. However in the
evenings and when the temperatures moderate Swampy provides
comfort.
If you are able to always have the energy needed to operate an
air conditioning you may not need a Swampy. If on the other
hand a/c is not an option all of the time, use a Swampy.
If you understand Swampy is a space cooler and not an area
cooler you will love it. If you are looking for total comfort
all of the time under all conditions stick to refrigerated air
conditioning. Otherwise Swampy will meet and even exceed
your needs most of the time, while saving precious energy.
