Size, although it could be a bit taller to prevent water spillage when being filled up at the top, its remote and fantastic control panel, its heater function (can warm up an average bedroom in 5 mins or maybe little-depending on temp and room size),...

Not many, just Mistral should REALLY REALLY make the pads of their evaporative coolers aspen and have relalatively reliable water distribution channels. These two factors seem to diminish the efficiency of Mistral evaporative coolers.

Looks great, remote works fine, Heating is good and timer useful, Touch controls quite elegant.

Air (~25% humidity) going in at 35C comes out at 30C - ie terrible cooling performance. Doesn't have wet straw type cooling pad - rather a chux type material formed as a wide belt that slowly moves through the water at bottom and through which the air...

Good heater, works well closeby, small unit, requires no installation, cheap!

Very cheap to buy, < $100 at Myer. Very portable with castor wheels, and the remote control. The timer is handy, esp at night time when you'd like it to cool/heat the place up just a little more before nodding off. Very light weight and easy to move...

Not many cons to speak of. The cooling function will take the edge off the heat on a very hot day, and the ability to add some ice to help it is a handy feature. It wont work as good as a proper air conditioner though.
