I live right down the darn street from these folks and
they wouldn't even let me stop by (called them on the
phone and emailed)  to check things out.  They wanted
to sort out all the details over the phone, which is
fine, but I'm 'right' down the road literally, and they
didnt want to work with me so I didn't bother to
prusue further.  The units looked too expensive to
me, to just "trust" that they would work that well.

I love mine..yesterday it was 100+ degrees (Boise) and my swamp cooler
kept our garage/shop a very comfortable 78! We also have a 12volt unit on
the MH along with a refrigerated unit and we much prefer the swamp cooler
if we're in a area where they evaporate.
