Does it work well in humid climates?

Not sure about outside humid climates. I teach aquatics at an indoor pool, it's very hot and humid. This only gets as cool as the water you wet it in. No matter how many times you snap it, it does not get any cooler and warms up very quickly around my neck. Was not worth the money for what I need.

It is humid in the summer where I live and my husband did not notice any difference in the way it worked. It worked great!

It's great during dry heat but it gets very humid. Not for cooling a whole room.

Yes you can just do what the schematic and it works on humidity and temperature

I have both... The swamp cooler is not great for humid areas... It helps Cool on dry days... but does so by increasing water in the air...It does not work as well as a portable ac if in an enclosed area ... Which draws out the humidity...We use it in our warehouse ... It is noisy and the water inlet leaks, so we manually fill the tank ... I do not recommend. It.

It works great in Kansas. Humidity has been high this summer with over 10 inches of rain

It works just fine as long as the humidity is not too high. Much more comfortable than just a fan! I fill it with the hose when we use it on the patio, makes filling it up easy.

Living in ohio with similar humidity, it works, but much better on less humid days. if you're expecting cooling like a heat exchanger you will be disappointed. it creates a cool breeze but its overall actual cooling ability is limited.

Mine has not had any problems, we live in eastern NC which has high humidity, very good fan.

It does but, it doesn't seem to balance the humidity alone. It needs supports. We bought a digital one.

Not really. The more humid it is, the worse this does. You can get it to continue working with ice and such, but then you're not really getting actual effect from the device as much as a fan over a thing of ice/iced water.

I took mine to Hawaii for a couple of weeks. It went to the beach all day everyday and I had no problems with overheating or with the humidity.

I use it outdoors, in humid Hawaii. I have it mounted under my roof's eve and, just in case, I custom made a plastic water deflector over the top of it (mainly protects from dust/dirt and bugs from collecting on top of it). Works perfectly.

I believe so, but it didn't work for my room. Even though I kept it by an open door, my room still got super humid. But I might have been too far away still.

Live in New York, humid summers here, with 80% humidity some days. Looking to protect film equipment. Looking to combat the days with high humidity and cool off the room instead of using the AC. Will this dehumidifier work well under these parameters?

I live on Long Island, NY and we have humid temperatures only in the summer months. I have used it many times and I feel that it does cool you down. It sprays a light mist, plus the fan, which is a great thing to have outdoors and makes the humidity bearable!

I believe so, we live in Virginia Beach, Hot and Humid summers and it works great here in cooling a room and those in it. The moisture coming out of the fan I believe would work for the dry desert heat also.

It's great for a bedroom, reasonable for a medium-sized room, but probably not enough for a large room. If you live in a humid place, don't even bother; just get a fan or an air conditioner.
