Copy of our MW1:
Pete Donegan from Kyneton was a Dealer for our MW1
for 4 years. We authorized him to market the MightyKool
in Australia under the name Transcool. In 2009 Donegan visited
our production facility and in 2010 produced a "Knock-Off"
Copy of the MW1. He not only copied our MW1 but
took advantage of the "good will" developed by our MW1
by naming his "Knock-Off" Transcool. (More

The famous 12-Volt MightyKool Model MW1 continues
to be the best selling 12-Volt Portable Cooling System in the
World since it's development 7 Years ago. The MW1 uses
water only to produce cool refreshing air for Boats, Campers,
Sleepers, Solar & Pets plus Vehicles of all types. The
New 2012 WinAire WIN 12-VoltSpot Cooling System.
Engineered for Humid or Dry Climates of the World. The New WIN 3-Speed Spot Cooler uses
Water or Ice or a combination of both. In a Humid or extremely
hot area Ice could be used to maximize cooling. Two blocks of
ice weighing 4 pounds (1.8 kilogram) each will provide from 1
to 2 hours of cooler air than water alone.
When combining Ice with our World Famous Custom Cooling Filter
the WinAireWIN will produce Cooler Dryer Air than
any portable Evaporative Cooler in the World. Read about the Flex Hose Kit for ideas of how you should
set up all Spot Cooling Systems for maximum benefit especially
in vehicles.
The WIN will never replace Air Conditioning; however will
offer relief when A/C is out of the question. Ventilation is required
with the WinAire to keep from building up humidity, just
like the MW1.
d Humid both Models use far Less water, which results in creating
the Coolest Evaporative air possible.

Some of the differences between the WIN and
the MW1 are:
The larger Water capacity of the WIN eliminates
the need for the Float and the Water Kit plus provides up to 8
hours of cooling at night before the need to refill.
The Lid of the WIN raises easily to allow Water or Ice
to be loaded easily and quickly. This also makes it very easy
to check or replace the cooling system Custom Filter Pad.
The WIN has room for Ice, which will produce cooler air
in Dry Climates and is vital to cooling in the Humid Areas of
the World. Many freeze their own ice in plastic bottles partly
fill with water.
The MW1 is 2 inches (5 centimeters) overall smaller in
dimensions (L W H) than the WinAireWIN plus weighs
2 pounds (.907 kilograms) less and a little easier on the pocketbook.
Both models produce the same velocity of cool air. Specifications of all
12-Volt Models
We do not want to give the impression the WinAire will
perform like our "Ice Water"
Models, as the WinAire uses far less ice by not using a
Heat Exchanger. In many situations the small WinAire Portable
all in one package will be sufficient to take the edge off those
hot humid days. Read about the Flex
Hose Kit for ideas of how you should set up all Spot Cooling
for maximum benefit. Open the lid and add water
or one layer of ice cubes in the bottom of the WIN for
a quick start to cooling and then add a couple small blocks of
ice. Many cut gallon milk jugs in half and freeze their own ice,
then pop the ice from the jugs & enjoy the cool air for hours.
The MightyKool Spot Cooling Systems could be an
Alternative to Air Conditioning. That is, unless you are convinced
you need to cool the entire Vehicle, Boat, Camper, Tent, etc.
all the time. If so then you must invest in Air Conditioning.
If you need 12-Volt Air Conditioning read about our "Ice Water" Models.
If you determine that the MW1 would make your life a little
more comfortable, you will profit from the low Price of $297.00.
The price is the only change, as the MW1 is exactly the
same Model that Australians have come to trust for 7 years! This
small sample of Testimonials from
our Australian customers will most certainly back up this claim. December 2010: My MW1 arrived as promised
in a week. THANKS. What a great little unit. I gave it a good
run on the weekend and was impressed by the wonderful cooling
breeze. Looks like it's built to provide many years of good service.
This has been all good and many thanks again for all your help.
Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Christmas G. M. Salamander
Bay, NSW Australia
December 2010: Received the MW1 cooler today and its excellent
build quality and moves a surprising amount of air. It is a credit
to you for the design an efficiency of this cooler and thanks
very much for a pleasant and speedy transaction and for once I
got a product that does as advertised which is very rare these
days. All the best K. M. WA Australia Donegan's Transcool
Saga:
In 1989 we began researching a more efficient Evaporative Cooling
System, using water only, as we were determined that there must
be a better way. After 15 (Fifteen) Years of costly Engineering
and Development we came up with our greatest achievement. The
most unique Evaporative Cooling System in the World, which we
call the MightyKool Model MW1.
In 2006 Pete Donegan from Kyneton was set up as a Dealer for our
MightyKoolMW1 and with our permission he renamed
the MW1 "Transcool" for the Australian Market.
A few years later a man we trusted, Pete Donegan, visited our
production facility in August of 2009. Then in 2010 he produced
a "Knock-Off" Copy of the MW1, which could be
expected by the Chinese, but not an Australian! WikipediA on the
Web indicates "Counterfeit consumer goods, commonly called
knock-offs, are counterfeit or imitation products offered for
sale."
Donegan helped build his sales for the MW1 (Transcool)
from 2006 to 2010 by using our website, descriptions & testimonials
and most important the reliability and superior cooling of the
MW1. Then Donegan took advantage of all previous Goodwill achieved
with the MW1 by deliberately naming his "Knock-Off"
Copy Transcool!
We received an email from his customer stating a Transcool was
purchased in 2011 because Donegan stated HE was the developer
of the Transcool and all of Donegan Transport Fleet of Trucks
has them. WikipediA on the Web refers to Developing as doing a
"Complete process of bringing a NEW Product to Market".
Donegan's customer was very upset when he found out that he was
not the developer, and just "knocked off" copied our
product.
In September 2011 (One year after Donegan made his "Knock-Off"
Copy of our MW1) Donegan's Attorney threatened us by saying "We
were doing irreparable damage to Donegan's Reputation and business"!
Over our 22-year history somebody like Donegan
cheaply produces a "Knock-Off" Copy of one of our products,
as these copy merchants have no costly engineering & development
price tags, just a pencil, a short time to copy & search for
parts. Of course this is devastating to us, as there is always
a loss of sales and more loss of sleep at night because of betrayal.
"Irreparable" damage to whom?
Donegan said the Australian Government wanted to encourage local
manufacturing of Australian products, however I wonder if the
Australian Government would sanction the manufacturing of "Knock-Off"
Copies of products from the USA like they do in China?
Donegan claims that "he designed" the Transcool, which
is strange, as the outside & interior dimensions are identical
to the MW1! WikipediA defines "design" as a strategic
approach for someone to achieve a unique expectation. What's unique's
about a "knock-off copy? Our MW1 produces 13% more
velocity through larger cool air vents with more consistantly
cooler air than the "knock-off" Transcool, which is
what cooling is all about. BACK TO THE TOP You will appreciate
the small versatile size of the MW1 & WIN unless
you think something must be large to be worth the money! Our engineers
designed this System to produce more cool air than any other comparable
system that is up to five times larger. Engineers did not design
the Jet Engine to be larger than Piston Engines, just more powerful.
The light 1.69 kilogram weight
of the MW1 and 1.99 kilograms of the WIN make moving the them
from place to place a breeze, plus their small size is great for
storage when not in use. The MW1 & WIN Models
will also operate efficiently on a Solar System, using only 12.3
Watts on low to 21.4 Watts on high!
Ice does not need to be added to the MW1 because of our
unique "Smart" Pad Custom Cooling System. You may add
Ice in the side of the Automatic Closing Filler door if you wish,
however it only cools slightly better for a very short time, as
there is not much room for ice like is available with the WIN.
You would never overfill and damage the motors because of our
Automatic Fill Door, contrary to filling from the top, which will
cause an overflow situation and very likely damage the motors.
Our Custom Cooling Pads are "Smart" pads, as they automatically
regulate the water needed depending on temperature, humidity and
dew point. Therefore water should never be poured directly onto
the Pad as that reduces cooling. You may use either hot or cold
water, as the results will be the same within minutes because
of the unique Smart Cooling System of the MightyKoolMW1
& WIN. The MightyKool Model MW1 or the WIN
are the answer if you want the Coolest Air possible using water
only to produce Evaporative Cooling for your RV, Boat, Sleeper
or Vehicle in the dryer climates of the World. The Secret to the
Cooling System of the MW1 & WIN are the single
Smart Cooling Filter Pad! This unique Smart
Cooling Pad should be changed every 2 to 4 hundred hours, so that
you may continue to enjoy the Cool Air experienced when the MW1
or WIN was new. No other portable Evaporative Cooler in
the World surpasses the MW1 cool air. You may wish to consider
looking at the MW1 Options especially
a set of two extra Custom Cooling Filters for $12.00. (We have
had some only change every 3 to 4 years if the use was very little) The
Internal water container of the MW1 holds from one to three
hours of cooling, however it also has an Automatic Filling System
through a float with quality copper fittings. The float may be
connected to an external water source like our optional $12.00
Water Kit if you do not want to add water
every one to three hours. If it is real humid you may operate
the MW1 without water as there may be enough moisture in
the air so that you benefit with cool air from the high velocity
fans.
Using powerful Twin Brushless Double Ball Bearing Motors
the MW1 & WIN merely sip power while streaming
cool crisp air where & when you need it. All MightyKool
Models are equipped with Double Ball Bearing Brushless 20,000
hour motors having the capacity to produce of 200 cubic feet per
minute (CFM) at a velocity of over 2,000 feet per minute. These
Motors have a noise level of 59 dBA on high speed, which is the
same as a human voice. You can adjust the level of power you prefer
with this rugged three-speed Switch. High speed velocity is about
like medium speed on a vehicle air conditioner while only using
the same 12-volt energy as one tail light bulb.
It
is more difficult to find a good place to set a portable cooling
system in a moving vehicle; therefore you may wish to look at
the Flex Hose Kit
The cool air streaming from the vents of the MightyKoolMW1 may be 21 Celsius in 38 Celsius dry heat. However flowing
through 38-degree air the 21-degree cool air quickly increases
up to 32-Celsius in as little as 60 centimeters! Therefore keep
it close to you in a vehicle if you do not use the Flex Hose Kit.
Every MW1 is carefully hand crafted from strong Ultra Violet ABS
producing a lightweight rugged structure easy to repair or modify
if accidentally damaged. The Ultra Violet ABS of the MW1 prevents
color change or becoming brittle when exposed to the elements
like many other plastic products. Hundreds of our models are up
to 20 years old and still going strong!
WINTER USE: We have people use the MW1 & WIN
all winter long to help increase humidity in an enclosed environment,
which lowers the heating bills and aids comfort, just like any
humidifier. Donegan's says
he is the "developer" of Transcool plus states the following:
The new Australian Transcool EC2 has
been "significantly redesigned" to overcome the reliability
problems that "plague" many of the American made units.
Plague sounds like major disease to us, so why not check the MW1
Testimonials to see how many hundreds of them mention a Problem.
Our MW1 warranties are basically non-existent and Donegan
knows it.
"Significantly Redesigned" sounds important so lets
see what problems "plague" the MW1 that Donegan claims
to have solved:
A. Water Leakage
B. Switch Corrosion
C. Water Fill
D. Baffling
E. Motor Life
A: In the four years that we shipped our MW1 to Donegan
we have NO record of having to replace even One
leaky MW1, as repairs are simple, if there would be an
isolated problem.
B: The MW1 switch, as well as the switch's on all our Models are
designed to allow corrosion, as this is our "fail safe"
warning that unwanted moisture is forming, therefore allowing
the user to correct what they are doing wrong.
C: You will fill through the "fill door" quicker &
safer than taking the cap off & replacing it properly on the
EC2. Using our non-rattle "fill door" also eliminates
overfilling when operating. When the EC2 is overfilled the excess
water drains through the motor opening. Is that a "fail safe"
or a problem waiting to happen?
D: Donegan's baffle is as effective as ours and neither is going
to stop the water from splashing under extreme conditions. Donegan
has exactly the same information that we tell our customers when
using one in a moving vehicle. Imagine that; he copied the instructions,
along with most everything else!
E: 70,000 hour motor life x 24-hours a day = 2,916 days or 8 years.
Does that mean our estimate of the MW1 motor life at 20,000 hours
is not adequate when the heater motor in your vehicle has an estimated
life of 2,000 hours? Our motor manufacture claims 100,000 hour
life span & we thought that was too ridiculous to mention
but not Donegan!
This takes care of the "Significantly Redesigned"
Plagued problems Donegan claims to have fixed!
Donegan "knocked-off" 99.75% of our MW1 design, as he
is no fool and would not want to sacrifice the outstanding performance
that we struggled for years to obtain. He should have copied it
100%, as the MW1 produces 13% more velocity through larger cool
air vents with cooler air than the EC2. He also was unable to
find a company that could perfectly duplicate our Custom Cooling
Smart Pad. BACK TO DONEGAN ------- BACK TO THE TOP

USING THE MW1 ON SOLAR IN AUSTRALIA IS A DREAM:
I just wanted to let you
know that the unit (MW1) was brilliant - it's an off-grid, arid
area dream; so light on the juice and on water and quieter than
the desk fan I was using previously (not to mention a heck of
a lot more effective). This is going to really make summer a lot
more tolerable for me and Niki the Wonder Dog - we both really
suffered last summer during our many 105F+ (inside temperature)
days :). M.B. Hackham, Australia
THE MW1 IS EASY TO USE AND MOVES LOTS OF AIR:
I received the Swampy MW1 on Wednesday. Your communication and
shipping on my order were accurate and very prompt. The MW1 arrived
well labeled and packed. The MW1 is easy to use. The fan is quiet
and really moves a lot of air! Initial testing at 10% humidity
and 81 degree ambient temperature produced an output vent temperature
of 62 degrees. With the fan set on medium speed this was more
than adequate to cool the occupants of our conversion van. The
MW1 is very well constructed. I congratulate you on an excellent
design carried through with quality parts and an attention to
detail. For those who need a compact 12 volt "swamp cooler"
I can recommend the MW1. Thank You, L.J. Morristown, AZ (They
travel extensively & use the MW1 primarily for camping including
sleeping in their Van)
TESTING THE MW1 IN 52 DEGREES CELSIUS IN AUSTRALIA:
Here are the impressive
details from our one hour 'test drive' with our MW1 cooling unit:
Outside temperature in sun 52 degrees Celcius/125.6 degrees Fahrenheit
(Possibly higher as the thermometer's limit is only 52! Phew!)
Internal van temperature 45 degrees Celcuis/113 degrees Fahrenheit
On operating our MW1 we watched in awe as the internal van temperature
dropped by 1 degree celcius per minute, leveling off at 41 degrees
Celsius/105.8 Fahrenheit. What a heavenly relief! Plus, with that
amazing little unit's mighty powerful airflow, the temperature
of course seemed much, much lower than even that; amply matching
the feel & comfort of the 35 degree C/95 degree F - with seabreeze
relief included - that we'd been experiencing whilst away. We're
absolutely delighted with our little MW1 Jack. It can certainly
'pack some punch' hey? Again, we just can't thank you enough for
availing such marvelous products to us and indeed the world, for
your kind & wonderful service, and thank you ever so much
for filling & fulfilling such a much needed niche. We're greatly
looking forward with confidence to a future of happy, comfy camping,
guaranteed, no matter how high the temperature soars, because
of our MW1! Cheers & Blessings, M. & J. Perth, Australia
IMPRESSED WITH THE MIGHTYKOOL
MW1 IN A MOTORHOME IN AUSTRALIA:
Thank you for sending the
cooler so promptly. Had a test run inside our Motorhome (RV) and
was very impressed. We are in the CMCA (Campervan and Motorhome
Club of Australia) and when our friends see the "Mighty Kool"
there might be some more orders for you.
Thanks again, H. K. South Australia

USED THE MK3 FOR SLEEPING
IN THE DRY DESERT PLUS HUMID TROPICS AREAS IN AUSTRALIA:
I purchased a MK3 as a
gift for my husband who works in the tropics and outback desert
areas of Australia. I was optimistic that the dual cooler/air-conditioner
would give him some relief from the heat. He recently passed through
the Opal Mining Town of Coober Pedy where they build their homes
underground to beat the heat and the temperature there was 54
degrees Celsius (130 Degrees Fahrenheit). He sleeps in the back
canopy area of a utility while on the road working and he tells
me THE MK3 IS FANTASTIC! On the low setting it cools the sleeping
area and he has no trouble sleeping at all. With ice (in the Tropics)
and on a higher setting he pulled a sleeping bag over himself
because he was too cool! I want to thank you for a great product
and tremendous customer service. My husband has recommended you
to other drivers and they will be in touch with you soon. TOO
COOL! K.R. Blackwall Australia MIGHTYKOOL BREEZE PROVIDES COOL RELIEF IN AUSTRALIA:
I have just returned from an across Australia road trip. The Mighty
Kool MW1 performed well. Temperatures were around 35-38Celsius
when I stopped for a break in the late afternoons. The considerable
breeze provided a cool relief and even kept the flies and insects
at bay (an unexpected bonus!) Thanks again, R. B. Melbourne, Australia
"WE RAN THE MW1 OFF OF SOLAR FOR COOL AIR AT BURNING MAN:
"Dear Swampy, We just wanted to drop you a line to tell you
how well our Mightykool (MW1) worked for us in our trailer on
the Playa at Black Rock City. We run off of solar so this was
a great way to cool off and be able to nap during the 90 degree
days. Thanks," C. and C. Jackson, WY
FOUND SLEEPING QUITE COMFORTABLE DURING AUSTRALIAN SUMMER:
Thanks for the prompt delivery of the MW1 MightyKool cooling system.
I was bit hesitant at first but after running it for the last
two weeks in 30 + C. degrees, have found it very good. I have
been filling the cooler with cold water from my fridge and found
sleeping quite comfortable.Compared to the cost of other evaporative
coolers these systems are way in front. thanks again, regards,
D. & K. F. Goombungee, Queensland, Australia BACK TO THE TOP
The MightyKool Models use a Smart Cooling Pad System
which is the Secret to it's Cooling Power, thereby eliminating
the typical pump always necessary in other evaporative coolers.
This saves energy and allows the MW1 & WIN to
be down sized while producing even cooler air that has always
been associated with our Swampy Models. Perfect Evaporation
occurs in both models with the Smart Cooling Pad resulting in
cooler temperatures in either dry or humid conditions as a pump
adds either too much or too little water, as there is no control
on what is needed.
"I finally got a chance to
use the Swampy MW1 over the 4th of July weekend in 90-95 degree
weather. This thing RULES! It kept my whole camper cool on a medium
setting and was turned down to low at night. I am so impressed
with the way it performed, it was worth every dollar! Thanks again
for all your help!" C. E. Palisade, CO.
I received my Mighty Cool and it's a pretty awesome little contraption.
I have only used it twice now for short periods of time, but so
far am very pleased. I am excited to use it on a weekend camping
trip coming up in my trailer and later on at Burning Man. Thanks!!

USING A MK3 IN DUSTY CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA
Thank you for the unit (Model MK3 MightyKool). have tried it and
works better than expected. have found 3lt frozen plastic milk
bottles to work the most efficient. approx 1lt an hr. I also use
an ice vest for wiper snipping keeping my body temp. cooler all
day long. Will send you a photo of my cab on the Ztrak Mower when
I get time. The unit also acts as a air purifier and I feel less
need to wear a mask in Dusty Conditions. Im sure you will get
a few more sales from Moree after a few people see my setup. C.

our valued Customers over these many years at Testimonials
Use the MW1 in dry climates and you will have cool crisp
air streaming at you for 50 to 80 hours without recharging the
typical 105 amp hour Deep Cycle Battery you choose to purchase
(we do not furnish batteries). The WIN is the only evaporative
cooler that has been used rather successfully in more humid climates
by using Water & much less Ice than our "Ice"
Models. If you wish you may click on Testimonials
regarding the MightyKool in Humid Areas and if it is too
humid just add ice and no water to the WIN, as the Ice
will turn to water.
What are the Dimensions, Amperage Draw and Water Capacity?
One gallon (3.75 liters) of water will last around two to
three hours in the daytime and four to five hours during the night
when used for evaporative cooling in dry desert climates. The
"Ice Water" models are capable of using from 10 pounds
(4.5 kilograms) up to 20 pounds (9.0 kilograms) of ice per hour,
or more, depending on the ambient temperature and day or night
operation.
A 105 Deep Cycle battery, "not being charged", allow
the MW1, MW2 & WIN to operate for 50 to 80 hours and the "Ice
Water" models like the MK3, MK4, MAC & M400 will operate
for 25 to 35 hours before the battery needs charging. The Swampy
Models will operate about 8 hours before the battery would need
charging as they draw more energy.
Evaporative
Cooler Models MW1/MW2 use Water only and the WIN uses both Ice
and Water. The Model AC 12 uses Ice only. The M200, M400, MK3, MK4, MAC, MG3,
& IM30 Provide; Dual Air Conditioning using Ice or Water
