What Is the Difference in Porta-Cool and Cool-Space?

Here in the US in addition as many other developed countries, we are in the habit of being in conditioned air throughout the day during the hot months of the year. But many of us have to work, or play, in areas that air conditioning would be illogical. This might be in private garages or workshops, or could be commercial areas such as a warehouses, dry cleaners or carpentry shops. A lot of the time we see large fans set up that move around hot air that keeps us very uncomfortable and humid depending on where you live. Wouldnt you rather use a fan that drops the air temperature from 15 to 25 degrees? Instead of having 95 degree warm air blowing on you, how about a 75 degree cool breeze while you work? This requires an evaporative cooler. With so many evaporative coolers on the market, which one should I choose? I will first give you an overview of the various Cool-Space Portable Evaporative Cooler models and then tell you why Cool-Space is the best brand to buy.
