Men's Journal features the all new Portacool 510

The weather is heating up all over the country, which means that it’s time to get your cooling systems in order. And if you’re more of a fan of being outdoors than indoors, we have the perfect solution for all those times when you need your fresh air and vitamin D, but still want to stay cool: The Portacool 510 Portable Evaporative Cooler.

This evaporative cooler packs such a huge punch in a relatively small (and light) package. This thing pumps out wonderfully cool airflow utilizing its Kuul Control MicroTech evaporative media, and it’s very easily moved and transported wherever you might need a bit of a cool down with its heavy duty rubberized wheels.

From garages, to patios, to outdoor workspaces—to even indoors if need be—the Portacool 510 is capable of cooling down up to 330 square feet. For those piping hot summer days, this cooler is the perfect addition to any backyard BBQ, summertime outdoor project with the kids, relaxing Happy Hour on the patio, or simply kicking back with a good book. There’s no assembly required, you simply add water to the fill door, plug it into a standard 115V plug, and fire this up. It’s really that simple to keep all your friends and family staying cool this summer.—Jon Perino, senior editor
