What makes the VARIANT-36 an
INDUSTRY LEADER
The VARIANT-36 Portable Evaporative Cooler is built for serious cooling performance in demanding environments where standard fans and traditional AC fall short. Engineered with a massive 36-inch blade and a powerful 18,800 CFM direct-drive EC motor, this industrial grade cooler delivers high-velocity airflow capable of cooling areas up to 5,100 square feet, making it ideal for warehouses, workshops, hangars, job sites, and large open workspaces. Unlike basic coolers with limited settings, the VARIANT-36 features true variable speed control from 0–100, giving you precise control over airflow and allowing you to save your preferred startup speed for instant operation. A rugged rotational molded antibacterial housing reinforced with a galvanized exoskeleton frame increases durability by up to 75%, while locking caster wheels make it easy to move where cooling is needed most. With a 60-gallon water tank, adjustable water flow valve for climate control, and energy-efficient operation drawing only about 0.75 kW, the VARIANT-36 delivers powerful evaporative cooling while keeping energy costs low. Designed and assembled in the USA and backed by a 3-year warranty, this cooler is built to run harder, last longer, and keep demanding work environments comfortable in extreme heat.
INDUSTRIAL AIRFLOW
Built for high-demand environments, the VARIANT-36 generates powerful, high-velocity airflow capable of reaching up to 85 feet. The high-volume fan system works with advanced evaporative media to move large amounts of cool air while helping reduce perceived temperatures in expansive spaces. Ideal for warehouses, workshops, garages, and outdoor areas, it delivers consistent cool air circulation where extended coverage and industrial grade performance are required.

Energy efficiency
What makes this cooler so powerful? The heart of the machine, the motor. We have equipped this evaporative cooler with a sweeping 18,800cfm industrial grade motor, but thats not the best part. This machine can generate that much cfm with only drawing 0.75kw. To put that into perspective thats the equivalent to the same amount of energy drawn has home ceiling fans. We are talking cents per day on your electrical bill compared to standard HVAC being thousands and thousands of dollars per month.
Water valve adjustment
Control the flow of water with a simple turn of a valve on the side of the machine. Crazy super hot heat wave? open the valve all the way and really let that water flow! Seems semi muggy with high humidity but still warm? Dial down the water valve to combat the natural humidity in your climate to fully customize settings to ensure peak temperature control.
Temperature reduction
Evaporative cooling is a very powerful way of temperature reduction while staying very energy efficient. Evaporative coolers can reduce inside temperatures by up to 26°. Variable to change with building structures and natural climate conditions. Save energy, stay cool.™

We bought this for the bays of our fire station that are extremely hot. This unit has been instrumental and helping our firefighters cool down during training and apparatus check offs. We love the variable speed option as well.
Its Christmas in July! Another Cooler to add to our collection. The best in the business at keeping the crew cool.
Love are variant -36 this unit is a beast we had some 100° days up here in Michigan. cooled the shop down amazingly.it helped build morale keep working on our refuge equipment. very well built easy to operate.
This unit has been with us for a few year and has always kept the shop nice and cool! Works just as expected and it is very user friendly!
We got ours this past Friday ( July 24th) and immediately unpacked and plugged in. It was amazing how quickly the temperature came down and how much air the coolers put out. We are so glad we found you guys and your products
Shipping was super fast, the unit is a beast moves way more air than any other evaporative cooler I have ever owned. Unit is built very well, no flex when moving it around so gas very happy with it.
Legacy is great. I have a 60x60 metal building outside Las Vegas with insulation and a 3 head mini split ac but it’s not enough, the legacy is a monster. I filled it up and put some ice in and it blew 52 degree air which felt great. I can move it to whatever area I’m working at. Highly recommended
The dogs love it!
This thing is awesome! It’s keeping our show pigs nice and cool this summer! Fast delivery, and very helpful customer service. Would definitely buy again!
Fast shipping, wonderful customer service and amazing cooler. Light enough to travel to livestock shows with but powerful enough to keep a steer cool. We love this cooler. Thank you!
Works great. Life saver. Can’t beat the price or the cost to run the machine. Highly recommend
The BlueCo Legacy 30 Portable Evaporative Cooler worked great in our space. We show livestock and needed something to lower the temperature in a bank barn. The temperature was dropped significantly with cool air flow supported by fans. No issues, complaints or concerns with the product!
The BlueCo evaporative cooler works great in our warehouse during the Utah summer heat. It’s easy to talk when the fan is running and this thing really moves some air. We leave it permanently plugged into a hose so we don’t have to refill it and the fittings are tight with no leaks. For almost half the price of another evap cooler brand out there, the BlueCo unit accomplishes the same task. Customer service was on top of it as well when we had a shipping address issue and then a question about how to safely keep the evaporative medium clean. This BlueCo cooler is a great value.
This is a great fan. It really cools our shop in this Arkansas heat. It makes a huge difference. We like it so much that we bought a second one to put on job sites for the guys.
We purchased 2 of the Variant-36 Evaporative coolers this year for our aircraft maintenance hangar. The units are very well built and the digital control panel is fantastic and simple to use. Our hangar is roughly 15,000 square and the 2 units keep it very comfortable inside with the temps reaching 100°F outside. I do not know how we survived before without the units
Hands down the best cooler we have ever purchased for our tire shop. On those hot and humid days it provides cooling relief throughout our mounting area. Definitely going to be purchasing another one soon to use in other parts of the warehouse.
Great fan! Arrived quickly and was easy to set up and get going. Cools my shop in this Texas heat!
Blueco’s Legacy 30 is working great for my 30’x40’ shop which has 14’ eaves. Ordered from Blueco online on 7/5 and arrived 7/11/2025. Super quick and easy to work with freight company. Set up was a breeze and control pad is intuitive. Hooked up a hose, filled the reservoir, and turned it on. I noticed an immediate difference in the temperature. Construction and media look solid and I look forward to having a cooler shop. Will recommend to friends, family, customers, and other businesses. The only thing I would change is the temp read out on the interface is in Cesius, would prefer Fahrenheit.
cooler works great!! We had no issues with the shipping and set up was very easy.
cools our shop nicely on the hot and humid days
thing is legit cools off the place mint
Good experience and great product. We will be buying another for our farm in HOT South Florida!
This machine is a beast. I needed this years ago. Great machine. Great price. Fast shipping.Thanks
