If you’re shopping for a new portable evaporative cooler, or swamp cooler as some call it, I’d like to make a few suggestions. Champion Cooler Corporation makes five models in the Gadabout series that you’ll find to be great choices. Each model is tailored to a particular need, from the smallest model, the Champion M150, to the largest model, the Champion M500. I will mention some features of each of the five models. There are dozens of businesses that sell Champion portable coolers online and will ship them to your home or business. I recommend checking prices and shipping costs in several of these shops since prices can vary a lot. Go to Google or Yahoo and type in Champion Gadabout Coolers and you’ll find quite a few companies listed. They will also list the features and pictures of each model. I will mention a few features that I like.
The Champion M150 is Gadabout’s smallest model. It is similar in shape to a box fan but is about 17 inches thick. This model has a handle and is on wheels for easy mobility. The fan has a 1/8 HP motor with 3 speeds. Although this motor uses very little power, it offers 1100 CFM at high speed.
The Champion M201 is a larger model and, like the rest of the Gadabout models, it has a squarer shape. This model, like the next three that I will describe, is generally used in garages and workshops. It also has wheels like the rest of the Gadabout units. This cooler is to be used to cool areas up to 700 square feet. The Champion M301 is the next model from Gadabout and it is a bit bigger. This model weighs around 100 pounds and may be too large for a home portable cooler. It has a 2-speed motor and cools up to 1,000 square feet. Once again, the Champion M401 is even bigger. The M401 can cool up to 1400 square feet and comes with a 4-way directional grill with easy to move paddles.
The largest of the Gadabout models is the Champion M500. Although this model weighs 195 pounds, like the other Gadabouts, it is on wheels and can be easily moved around your shop. With the Champion M500 cooler you can cool a large area. It offers 5000 CFM with its 3/4 HP, 2-speed motor. This model also has a 4-way directional grille with easy to move paddles. There are two other features that make the Champion M500 superior to other portable evaporative coolers. It has a 47 gallon reservoir to provide more cool down time between refills. It also comes with a 20 foot cord with a GFCI safety plug.
As you can see, Champion Gadabout coolers are made for every situation and need. Not only have I used Champion’s evaporative cooler products, but I have also visited the Champion factory to see them build their products. I highly recommend you consider Champion Coolers.
