Pros

- Wi-Fi app control and an auto drying mode that dries the pad before storage
- Draws only 140 W, a fraction of a portable air conditioner
Cons
- No garden hose hookup, so the big tank has to be filled by hand
- Amazon advertises 2500 CFM, more than double the maker’s own 1059 CFM rating
- Loud on high at a rated 65 dB
