I've been using this model in LA for almost 10 years in my bedroom and can't live without it during the super hot days, like now. Just remember that it's not an AC. It will not chill the air and you cannot set the temperature. Also, keep a window open because it does put a little moisture in the air, but not a lot, and it will build up in a closed room. You put cold water and ice in the side chute and the air is cooled as it goes out into the room. It's best used in a small area or if used in a larger room aimed at the area where you're sitting/sleeping. My bedroom temperature drops 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of my apt. when it's in use. It's been running now for more than a week straight with no problems. I hope this helps.

I purchased it, and it never worked. The company did not honor the warranty, but they thought that the problem was a faulty pump on a new unit. They offered to repair it (a new unit) at a reduced cost. Obviously, I did not send good money after bad. I ended up with an over priced barely adequate fan, not a cooler. Hope this answers your question.

Too humid in LA for an evaporative cooler. You are better off with a fan. I lived in Canoga Park for a while...trust me when I say you DO NOT want to add moisture to the air.

I do not live in LA but did live in San Bernardino a long time. This works well IF you have plenty of ice to load it with. Otherwise I think its a waste of time especially in that area.Here we are dry & if I don't keep a window opened well enough it feels muggy which is worse. So if you have auto ice that you can load the inside & the tray with to drip into then its worth your money, if not then save your money. I wish the main tray had space to put small water bottles of frozen water into but it doesn't.

What's your address . .and do you leave your car outside? One of us can come over and give you an up-close and personal demo . . . pretty sure it works . . ;have done a 'dry run' and think it has the power to get the job done, but, don't have a junk yard anywhere close by to 'try' it

It's tough to say. I got my LG Prada here for use in LA and NOTHING works unless I'm on wifi at home. It's sad because its not a cheap phone and not only that, it's hard to sell. I'm keeping it as a collectors item for now

OK, so this is a really old post right now, but maybe someone is looking for the information.Any FM transmitter in LA is going to be so-so. There are simply so many FM stations in LA that it's hard to use a transmitter without interference. If you are driving in your car there will be several times where you will need to fidgit with the settings. It can get really annoying. So, will it work? Probably. Will it be stable or enjoyable? Probably not.

i'm using it in bahrain..so another middle east user. Anyhow, it's worked great to date. I lost satellite reception one time beside a building.

I didn't have any trouble with it. I'm on Long Island. Not the best in the world but it works well for the money.

Good responses from other owners. Also consider whether the radio is getting the signal at all. In my case, it didn't work except on a wall facing Colorado --in my case, west -- and had a nearby window. Now it updates consistently withno problems. If I have it in any other location, it does't receive the signal and doesn't update.

I am using the same and found it meet my expectation. The quality of pictures depend on broadcasting coverage. I am living in Milpitas and able to pick up San Francisco channels.

Yes, I had it with Straight Talk using a ATT sim card and it works fine in Los Angeles, I had to switch for a TMO sim card since TMO antennas have better reception where I live. You can use it with Straight Talk with either ATT or TMO compatible Sim cards.

It works great in U.S.A.. Give LANDAIRSEA a call. They should be able to answer.
