I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it.

You have to keep it plugged into some power supply. (It’s not wireless). It did keep me cool in my car while having lunch 🥪 with out having to run my car and waste gas.

The key is to keep it charged. I love mine, I have 2 so I charge one while using the other.

It's a swamp cooler. You jump in a pool and you live in Phoenix, AZ. The temperature is 91 with a dew point of 45. The Heating Index is 87. You live in Columbus, GA. Temperature is also 91, however, the dew point is 70. That's a Heat Index of 97. This thing won't work to cool a room let alone a 400 square foot room unless the dew point is low enough for the water to become a vapor and absorb the heat as it does thus the air becomes cooler. This isn't new. In humid locations for AC to work efficiently it must remove water vapor which is seen as condensate outside dripping from the unit. Same principle with a dehumidifier. 80 degrees with a dew point of 55 is a relative humidity of 42%...very comfortable. 80 with a dew point of 75 is miserable. Again not new science.

Can get op to to 100 indoors. Because of this, the unit, which I keep next to me, cools the air around me to about 70-75 degrees. Last summer my average bill was $150. I ran central ac for hour or two at night to cool down my room. I used one next to my chair in the day or in the kitchen, and left one next to my bed at night. The previous summer, when I kept the ac set at 75-78 I was paying over $300 a month. Since energy prices have skyrocketed over the last two years it will be considerably more this year. It is only me here, I don’t need to cool the ‘whole room’. Just me and this serves the purpose.

As said, it's an itty bitty swamp cooler. And while you may have spot cooling for a while, it's also raising your humidity which will make the room feel warmer.

@MD-gw4rk

It’s probably worth buying a dehumidifier for a room if you live where it’s hot and humid. The dehumidifier would probably work better to cool the room down so your air conditioner works cooler.

Even before this one with a rechargable battery, you could still purchase a cell phone battery to charge your phone with and run these air coolers off of. They take the same amount of power as charging a cell phone(on medium to lowest setting, I could get over five hours from a decent cellphone charger battery). The solid about them is that they will always blow cool air.i have used one for years when I sleep in my upstairs not air conditioned room.

How well do this things work? It depends on the environment you use it in. If you are in a well ventilated area that is a little too warm it will make a noticeable difference if it is within about 3 feet of you. If, however, you are in a room or area with no ventilation and hot air is trapped inside that area, forget it, the ice will melt and it will blow room temperature air on you. Bottom line. They do work, but only in certain situations.

If I didn't care about the portability part and I used it plugged into a cord could I have it powered on while it was plugged into the wall so the battery wouldn't die while I was using it or does it not work while it's charging?

I find that if I fill a cooler with ice, put a fan in front of it and angle the cooler towards the fan, that definitely cools off a medium to larger sized room. I doubt this would do as well as that from the reviews I read, but it seems to help and has other advantages like portability. It might be worth giving one a try.

Of course it's cool, it's like somebody blowing air over ice water on you. It's a fan with just about the cheapest kind of radiator possible. I grew up in a trailer that had a bigger version of the same exact thing in place of an air conditioner. I have no idea what it was really called, but everyone I knew called it a cooler. You put cool water (just pumped from your well) in the bottom of it and a fan blew the air over it through the trailer. It had removable panels on the sides that were bent metal frames that you packed full of hay - I guess to slow the air down and force it to stay walled in with cool water for a while? Sometimes we put bags of ice in it. Anyway, same thing. The huge fan in it moved a whole lot more air than the fan in this new thing ever could, but it still sucked. There's a reason people use air conditioners. The only reason we used that for a while was because we were poor and it cost ever little to run. It could have been from the 1940s or something for all I know.

I keep one on my nightstand, and it helps me fall asleep. I love mine, and nobody is paying me to say it.. EDIT. I wrote this four months ago. I'm sorry to report, that as time has gone by, calcium has built up from the water, and it barely works anymore. Don't buy this product. I'm currently looking for something that does the same thing, but possibly more quiet, and better parts.

If you watch the hundreds of paid ads you'd understand why I'm saying that. Also even small channels like mine get at least 5 offers a week from companies to make a paid review of some bogus Chinese product. So I just say it up front. Watch my other videos on this thing once I saw those hundreds of bogus ads popping up after I made this video.

Will it run/use it if you plug it into some type of power block to extend the run time, or does it have to charge up only when it is off?

@FitsandFun

Yes, it will stay running. But please understand, it's a fan that blows air over a cold wet sponge. That's it. It has no actual AC components. And once that sponge warms up, the air is not chilled at all.

Yes. But it's literally just a fan that blows air over a sponge. No ac components.

The only practical use I can see for it is to use it outside and point it at your face when you’re sitting in a lawn chair on a hot day. I doubt it will keep a room with any appreciable size cool. At least not overnight. You’d have to get up several times during the night to refill it.

You're better off spending $200 on a good fan. It can't do a whole room. It will cool you if you sit in front of it. After a month, it doesn't get chilly cold anymore, just cold. Okay. But the biggest red flag is the over charged me a hundred dollars on my credit card. And it didn't work until I used mu own cord. The one they charged me $15 for didn't work at all. And they still charged $60 extra, for what? A warranty they won't honor because the web site says they won't refund if its been out of the package. How do we find out its not working if we don't take it out and try it? They're just a scam.

Have you tried to get a new filter cartridge the only place I can find them is on Amazon at $40+

Ac’s use freon which is what keeps the air so cold. This is good for a personal cooler. I see alot of people saying it’s a scam. Not really. Although it is packaged as an AC, it is a mini swamp cooler. It drops the temperature around me to a comfortable level. And since I live in Vegas, running the ac can run you $400 a month at a setting of 75. This keeps me comfortable and it’s dirt cheap to run, saving me hundreds every summer.

Will this work in a hot car without a/c, or a tent?

Can't figure out why mine keeps turning off

I'm not a spokesman for them, I was just telling my thoughts about it. It's basically a night light with a fan that can potentially blow cooler air with a bunch of cold water and ice added. Without the filter being cold the air isn't cool. But I'll throw it out before I buy a new filter, I'm not all that impressed with it. But it does look neat with the colors.

I like the concept but think its just too small to be effective. I would rather have something with the power of a standard box fan blowing through cold foam/spongy material but whatever you would call that, doesn't seem to exist, and I'm too lazy to invent it.
