![Cheap Portable Air Conditioner | Does it Work? [CORRECTION: Swamp Cooler]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/prpX2a2UmLQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I czcams.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. 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. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
Best review ever... thanks almost bought the darn thing!
1.1M views for a review that's not a review... Just a room full of people obsessed with a light that changes colors
That's true hahahaha
I literally said to myself, "Who cares about that?" On hot humid days who wants even more humidity or mugginess. I don't know if they all work this way, but if so I'll probably pass.. I need to cool off two kids rooms. Might just need to buy small traditional AC units.
Just kills ya doesn’t it. It was enough of a review for me to get the idea it’s junk.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂👌
I wondered how well these worked. Thank you for uploading a video of it.
Hello from Australia🇦🇺. I think that evaporative coolers are a great option for those not wanting to spend the big bucks on a air conditioner and electricity bills. From my expierience they will not cool entire rooms on really hot days but will definately make you feel more comfortable if you keep it topped up with ice and cold water and have the stream of air coming out of the unit pointed at you. Thankyou for uploading your video i think its really nice how you bought this unit to help your daughter stay cool and made this video as a family. Best wishes. Peaceout! ✌️
…Apparently with that unit, you’re supposed to wait 3-5mins after putting the water in before turning it on cause the way it works, is there’s these absorbent paper things inside it that need to absorb the water. All it technically is, is just a fan blowing through 10 or so sheets of wet paper stuff. You also need to always open it when you first get it & make sure all the paper things are in their correct slots because some displace during transit/storage. Apparently waiting that 3-5mins after putting the water in makes a bigger difference, which makes sense once you realise how it works. People tend to say it’s not the greatest but for around $30, for a bedroom or something, they’re worth the $30. Remember to keep as many internal doors closed as possible, including cupboard doors & keep curtains closed for best results with any cooling unit. Hope this helps someone 🤗💜
Also it is recommended to unplug your fridge. It is well documented that the fridge is warming the surrounding air from its compressor. But better, unplug everything and wait for the swamp cooler to make its thing. In 2-3 days you’ll feel the chill.
hey kid, when your parents are not looking, put ice in it.
Their always watching me! 👀
Glad I watched this, won’t be getting one now. Thanks for sharing.
This is for personal use like on a desk or table.
Billy Bob you should get one. The person who posted this didn’t use the cooler properly..
most people like them better than air conditioners.
You have to wet the filter and add ice.
Cools very well!!
My son got one and despite what I said he said “ and yet the room is cooler dad “
He also wet the filter and added ice. Perhaps I was hasty in my conclusion?

This is a mini “swamp cooler” or evaporative cooler. They actually work great in deserts only, dry weather. Not in humid environments. Have been used since the 1930’s. They cool air by adding moisture, so if your already in a humid environment, it will just feel muggy.
Exactly!! Just what I was going to post but you beat me to it.
Make sure you have second fan or air flow to remove excessive water or fungus and bacteria thrive
Perfect for where I live. It's like really dry here and hasn't rained for the past 7 months or so.
I live in Sydney which is 69% himidity here, this will work here without water?
Thanx. I watched this after I bought one from rite aid yesterday for 39.99. I didn’t expect it to cool a room for that price. Its alright for a desk
It CANT. Thats why its called PERSONAL.
I bought one when my A/C went out. It help me make it through the night while I slept. I add little cold water, ice cubes. Nice to have until the repairman shows up to fix the A/C unit.
So it works?
@@RyoLTU yes, it works if you put cold water or ice in it. micro-airconditioner.com insane price i got mine from there
Bought this thing when i needed it the most when my central ac went out and it was a huge disappointment.
That profile picture hahaha
Maybe look into how ACs work and don't get scammed next time
The ad shows a different name but they both looks the same lol.
I have something like this but its only 6 dollars.
I use it to keep my room humid so dust wont build up in my computer.
@@jericmejares1777 LMAO. That's the face they made upon realizing the mistake they made when they purchased this.
@@luisb.5590 hahha yeah
What most people don't realize about evaporative coolers is that you can't just recycle the same air through the cooler - as in pulling the room's air through it continuously. You have to bring dry air into the cooler for it to work right, and you can't do that by drawing the already humidified air into the cooler over and over. That said, I have yet to see these really small coolers work to any degree because the material that they draw the air through doesn't retain moisture like it should to make the evaporation process work as intended.
Your comment is what i was needing to know not this usless review, thank you sir
@@najibocom18 ☠️😂😂😂😂
That's not what they show on the TV, and those devices are not even designed to fit like a window opening. The thing just is, the swamp coolers (like this machine in the video is) do not work for cooling air. Or they do marginally, but with unforgivable drawbacks like humifying the room air beyond recognition. Actual air conditioners in fact DEhumify the air because of the refrigeration cycle.
@@matsopelle Do you believe everything you see on TV? Evaporative coolers are designed to suck hot dry air in and blow the humidified air into an enclosed space that is vented as far away as possible from the cooling device, whether it is sucking that air through a window, a doorway or a hole through the wall. A TV advertisement made to make the device look as attractive as possible doesn't change that.
And they absolutely DO work for cooling the air IF you live in a dry environment. Probably half the houses in southern Idaho use them.
I lived in Phoenix in the early 80s when I was a child. IMO, evaporative coolers suck!! They make everything in the house feel damp and they don't really cool. I guess they are better than absolutely nothing, but not much!!
You can’t get something for nothing. It is a humidifier, that’s all. Exactly the opposite you need in a hot and humid climate. It will only make you feel worse.
I've done commercial refrigeration for over 30 years and you are EXACTLY RIGHT, a humidifier is all it is!!
I see... I guess they can use it to keep the dust away from computers.
First Last your probably right. That water has to evaporate especially from a hot room. Definitely looks like a humidifier.
I would just put ice in it, maybe half a cup of water. The air will cool and the ice will last longer than the ice water would.
Even if you put ice in an evaporative cooler they don't work worth a sh@#$%. The only thing they are good for is super dry climate outdoors to cool you off a little bit. Indoors they don't work. They do make central roof-mounted evaporative coolers for homes in dry climates that work off solar panels but they won't cool your house down more than a few degrees. It's a joke is what it is, they been around since the '20s for outdoor cooling in states like Arizona. Patent-pending they say, LMAO!
I’m travelling to northern South Africa at year end, where temps can hit up to 45 degree Celsius. Having this kit may save my life in the night. Especially since I can plug it to a power bank and chill. 👍🏾
... just don't add water in it! When it comes to hot temps, humidity just adds to your discomfort!
Trust me, no it won't.

I just heard her say she didn't read the instructions first. LOL The instructions were clearly written and gave a lot of good tips - plus, they actually position the device appropriately as a personal space cooler, not a full-room air conditioner. It does not promise to cool an entire room anywhere on the packaging or in the included product literature. It's also tiny - anyone who thinks it would cool an entire room should actually think about the math for 4 seconds. Even the big air conditioners that vent the generated heat to the outdoors are only designed to cool a 120 sq. ft. room (so why anyone would expect something smaller than a 6-pack of beer to cool a whole room is quite puzzling and comical actually). It's amazing and absolutely delivers on the design goals and marketing messages. I opened mine today and soaked the filter as instructed and filled the tank with cold ice water. It is keeping me super cool. During a heat wave in Europe, no less. My house has attic eaves that collect heat like you can't even believe and I'm working upstairs with only my Arctic Cool (2 feet away) and it's like being in an air-conditioned room. The hum is very consistent so as not to be distracting. I think it's absolutely wonderful. My elderly mom is visiting in a few weeks and I bought it just to cool the personal air space around her and now I will use it in my home office, too. I even sat outside on my EXTREMELY hot patio and was able to work comfortably for a couple of hours. I refilled it with ice cubes a few times. It's absolutely not [only] "like a fan" once you cool the water below air temperature (ice water generates cooler air - it's not rocket science). Put ice cubes in the water (also mentioned in the apparently unread instructions) and you'll see what it's really capable of doing! Definitely a good buy. I saw other places where people said the filter got dirty fast. Well, I plan to take it out and let it dry between uses to avoid mold (also fairly obvious). The instructions say if you plan to not use it for awhile, you should empty the water tank and let it run for 4 hours before storing it. This is presumably to avoid the formation of mold. I also read that people complained about leaking - mine does not leak - but there was condensation forming when I was using it outside in 90-degree heat. Inside, there's no external moisture. I think it's a great product! Mine has the teal/turquoise light on right now and it's very peaceful. Glad I bought it.
In this video, when she says, "Maybe you should put ice in it," it made me laugh. Because that's exactly what the unread instructions explain to do. And it's what I did and it's amazing. Even if the "evaporative cooling" technology doesn't work (I don't know if it does or doesn't work), if you blow ice cold water across your face and torso, it will obviously be cold and feel wonderful. Oh, and if you measure the temperature within your personal space, and not using a wall thermometer far away like in the video, it dropped the temperature by over 5 degrees for me. It's super cool - and super cool. Love it.
Super thanks , I am personally thankful for your explainations . I will definitely get one ❤❤
Thank you for making this video, always wonder how this thing works and almost bought it from Amazon. almost, had not watched this video.
Its just a fan .its not cooling.
Thanks for sharing your review.
great for keeping your linen closet cool
Works great in 8x10 prison cell!
I bought one to take to work as a cashier because WM nearly kills us and the customers in the ungodly Georgia heat.
Mine must have been an older version bc it didn't have the side nightlight.
It also had a filter that you wet and could freeze before use. Add water of course.
The thing was a life saver. Ice cold air for hours (about three or four with single fill.)
My customers could feel it well, even at the bagging area.
I'd definitely buy it again. This one seemed to pale in comparison to mine.
do you have a link or name?
@@androidgameplays4108 yes. It is called Arctic Air Ultra. It was an As Seen on TV thing and I got it from my job (Walmart) but now we have different ones, and I don't know how they work. Same company though.
They also have one that SAYS its for outdoor use which I want to try bc my car's AC broke but its $100 so... Lol
I don't understand why people complain about these affordable coolers when they actually work. I have one myself, and it doesn't cause any humidity because I crack my window open. The air they breath out is definitely much cooler than the air it draws in.
@@HDsharp i got a Ultra one and it’s weak
@@androidgameplays4108 I got a standard of one not this brand, it blows out super cool air. I do crack a window open though.
Going to buy one this weekend
I bought one as well and it works as long as u put me water and a lil ice then freeze the filter to help make it cooler. It works well for one person up close. One problem tho using it while sleeping I always tended to wake up with a sinis infection maybe from the moisture.
The CZcams ad makes this sound like a technological breakthrough. It is just a mini version of the “swamp cooler” used for decades. An effective one (as I use in Thailand) has to be MUCH bigger. And that noise is not soothing - irritating maybe.
Yea
Yeah and in their ads it said “leightweight deisng” like they can’t spell or take 3 minutes to check their ad for mistakes lol
I had a feeling it would be too good to be true
Exactly. These things have been around for decades in Asian Countries. You'll need a box which is at least 10 times the size of this one to cool a average size room.
These parents are just cheap asses for keeping the house at 77

perfect for my tent when I boat camp. It works really well inside my four man tent. thanks
Thanks for the review
Ooh glad i watched this. I was going to buy one of these today
It's just good for really small dorms and if you freeze the vent and use water with crushed ice
I have an Artic Air in my room and it has made a big difference! I live in the high country of Arizona and this week it has been rather hot. The Artic Air will work the best in a dry environment rather than a humid area. It does not make it cold but does cool my room off to a comfortable temperature. Its worth the 39.00 that I paid for it.
How often do you have to put water in it. Do you need to put ice in it?
@@Tim48367 I do not use water or ice in mine . Air coming out feels the same to me. And I do not buy new filter. I wash them. Works just fine for me.
yeah right.
Thanks for the post. I know to leave this one right on the shelf. Again thanks
Thank u guys for Making this video because i was about to order this One 🥰
Thumbs up for your review, homemade and of course not sponsored
I folded up the box that this item came in and I'm waving it in front of my face, it seems to work just as well as the item that came in it ;-)

Top Comment. LMAO!
In order to cool the entire room you have to exchange heat from one place to another. Your home AC unit takes heat from the home and moves it outside the home through an exchange process. This thing might exchange some put even if it did it would just be moving it to another place in the same room. The evaporation of water cools the unit but is offset by introducing moisture into the room which in turn makes humans more uncomfortable. So, except for the cool breeze directly in front of the machine you are worse off. Just the machine itself working introduces more heat into the room for a net loss.
Smartass

You described use in humid environment. Use AS DIRECTED in arid conditions it functions just fine.
Why is reading directions and using brain so difficult for so many?
@@johnlopperman2161 dude😂😂
Thanks, it was helpful
I like the newer units better. Also soaking the filters previously before filling them with water helps tons with the newer ones. But with the older units depending on room size you need 2 to 3 and needed to fill less with and put a few ice cubes.
You forgot to add - you also need to live in a desert for this thing to have any effect whatsoever...
A big lcd tv generates a lot of heat as well
To all of the dummies making comments about it helping the temp in the intire Room, don't be a clown, it says it a "personal" air cooler. Key word being personal, ment to blow directly on you, the video even said @ the end, if you're right in front of it, then it works well...
Totally true. You can't even stand more than 2 feet away from it or else you can't feel a thing
Im planning to buy one JUST to cool my PS4, would it work for that?
So perhaps it would work in a car like a small sedan if you had one of those wall plug converters for your cigarettes lighter. For instance if you are in a car on a hot day & of course have the windshield sun shade on your windshield etc to help keep the sun out. But let's say u dont want to keep your a/c on. Perhaps this would help for one person?
@Mr grow Medical don't mind the haters. If u could look up what brand you have & if u thing it's the current model, that would help. Thanks!
Hey dummy, I'm an airconditioning mechanic, this is the most ridiculous thing that has ever been invented in the history of HVAC.
It's a personal evaporative cooler it only cools your personal space such as if you sat it on a desk and they only work well in low humidity.
In high humidity it'll make the room as a whole feel hotter.
Want to cool the room her room get a small window AC or one of those portable roll around AC units.
This is the realest review ! Thanks for sharing
We have this since ages in iraq, but its way bigger and made of metal body. You fill the tank with water, there is a pump inside , helps the water circulate through the bushes installed on the walls, the air so cool and fresh. İt doesn't feel like freezer like AC, but its not so great in mid summer when temps are about 50 degrees, but generally its decent and most of iraqis used it when there wasnt AC available widely, and still available :)
Erbil
You're absolutely correct.
This is doing the exact opposite of what air conditioning does. Adding humidity while ac dehumidifies the air.
Thanks for this video,
It look like it enough to keep your room cool
I just got the arctic air tdy after sawing an ad on TV my parents finally got me one it’s really cooling and effective especially on a hot humid day Really recommend this👍🏻😂

I understand it can be confusing for those not familiar with the terminology, as two different individuals with same or similar names; two John Smiths would NOT be the same or single individual.
Air Conditioning is understood to be mechanical w/ a gaseous medium, or now electronic if courts.
Air Cooler is evaporative cooling, quite a different animal easily understood as the effect of breeze across your dampened/sweaty skin. VERY effective in dry atmosphere, agreed?
And as old as the hills.
^^correction^^(too old to learn editing)
"...now electronic of sorts"
it's amazing
Thank you I’m tired of people putting the temp gage right next to the unit.
We bought one few months ago...the weather here in my country during the day pretty hot especially close to noon, the cooler works well, and easy to carry than the other cooler that i had to drag around the living room, and mine came with a powerbank which is also useful since we sometimes have brownouts or powers out for a whole day...i use ice water in mine or wter with shave ice
yea it does work decently with ice in the water. For the price at least. All these people just sound like spoiled brats to be quite honest what else do they want for 40 bucks lol

People who don't understand how evaporative coolers work (aka: "swamp coolers") shouldn't buy this. It is NOT an air conditioner. To expect it to work that way shows you don't understand how evaporative cooling works.
If it's going to do any good, it must draw dry air through the wet pad. The evaporation of water from that pad will slightly cool the air temperature as it passes through the pad. If the ambient air is too humid, it won't do much better than a fan.
Even so, this will only have the effect of making the air feel cooler that comes out of the cooler itself. You can't expect it to cool a whole room. At best, if the fan blows directly on a person and there is some evaporative cooling happening, it will feel better than if the person only had a fan blowing on them.
Actually, it only shows that the people who make & market these useless junkboxes are conning people & getting away with fraud. BTW, it isn't any kind of evaporative cooler, because those condense the evaporated water out of the atmosphere & route it to a drain system, while this contraption actually adds moisture to the air. And further, this unit's advertisers claim that it IS an air conditioner.
@@randolphpatterson5061 google "evaporative cooler" and "swamp cooler." You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
czcams.com/video/m3PxzQwVOyo/video.html
The "condense the evaporated water out of the atmosphere" stuff you're talking about has nothing to do with how typical swamp coolers work. Sounds more like you are confusing one of the parts of a conventional air conditioning unit with an evaporative cooler. They are NOT THE SAME THING. Not sure what is so hard to grasp about this for you or the person who uploaded the video.
Swamp coolers literally pump water over pads, normally some type of dense cardboard material (Cel-DEK) or a fiber material like Aspen pads, and then pull hot air through the wet pads and into the person's house. They add moisture to this hot air air and only work in low humidity climates because they cool via the evaporation of the water (as hot air flows through the pad) cooling the air.
Again, people who live in humid climates aren't familiar with this kind of stuff so often erroneously mistake these type of coolers for other things and then call them "junk" out of pure ignorance.
@@randolphpatterson5061 P.S. Show me on the box where this is marketed as an AIR CONDITIONER. It says "air cooler." On the side, it even says the way it works is through "evaporative cooling." There is a difference between "conditioner" and "cooler" that the reviewer and you don't seem to grasp. Just because she keeps calling it "air conditioner" doesn't mean that is how the company markets it. Read what is on the box. Over and over again, it says "air cooler." She just jumped to an erroneous conclusion and then got mad when the product failed to live up to her unrealistic expectations.
That's what we would call a small swamp cooler very popular here in Texas they only really work in the desert areas. What it supposed to do is suck in the hot air from outside and then cool it through these bads that are constantly have water running through them. The downside to them is they don't work if it's raining outside or if there's any moisture in the air . Places like Arizona West Texas they're pretty popular because of the desert dry heat.
nice air
How can so many fail to grasp Evaporative Cooling, something every person has experienced routinely as any slight air movement across your moist skin has a cooling effect?🤯
I live in Arizona. This thing is an absolute DELIGHT to sleep next to on hot desert nights if you fill it with refrigerated water.
But don’t expect it to cool an entire room much.
Even so, I cannot stress enough how much I love to fall asleep on 103 degree Arizona summer nights with this thing blowing on me as I fall asleep.
For that purpose, sleeping with it on, I highly recommend this product.
But if you want something to cool your room down significantly, you probably are going to want to look for something bigger.
General Esdeath Arizona desert would be the perfect place to use an evaporative cooler like this. It would be useless where I live: too humid.
For how many hours does it work for you?
humanyoda for me, when fully filled - it will empty at first as the reservoir fills the exchanger - but then refill it after that and it will only take water from the reservoir as it needs it, and it lasts at least 4-8 hours for me it usually seems like.
It is pretty good because of low voltage, fair respect that USB powers this personal air cooler
That temperature is crazy!!! 😱😱😱

That’s why they added that feature. Maybe when you realize this isn’t gonna cool your room it’s acts as a feature light begging you not to bring it back to the store. 😂
You can't cool down a room without removing the heat (heat exchanging). It might help a little if the room also has a hot air return vent to work in conjunction with the house's A/C.
My buddy got one of these years ago and it worked for maybe 10 seconds until the ice melted. Just tuning in to see if they’ve improved. (I’m gonna say no but let’s watch hehe)
Hahahaha the hubby f’d your whole video up. Dude just kept talking Hahahaha
These units DO NOT work in humid climates. FYI
FYI means?
Wait. Georgia is pretty darn humid. If you get the one that has a filter and you wet it then freeze it before use, the thing blows out ice cold air for hours. Also use cold water.
Oh how cool !
I love this product and you can put ice cubes in it but i would put small ones in it but not to small. The light in mine broke but... that might have been on me... but yeah this is definitely worth it. People say its loud but i like the sound.
Ur lucky the lite broke.. It's a headache
Just need to keep a bucket of ice nearby.
@@jackb1803 too late the ice melted, like. 3 years ago
Umm, reading the directions might help. Also, cutting off some of the othermp electronics in the room may be a huge help reducing electronics heat.
Actual true having a DVD or a TV on increase the temp trust me I have a little sizes room in my house and it has 5 windows it gets hot in there
"I dunno why it's hot in here." Try unplugging the TV. Lol TVs generates a lot of heat. Adding humidity won't cool down your room...If you mist yourself and aim the fan at yourself it'll feel cooler, but this device has nothing in it that will cool a room. In fact, the energy being used and the friction generated by the fan blades actually warms the room. The time of day is the reason the temperature dropped.
A real ac works by compressing a gas and then releasing that pressure. Pressurizing the gas generates heat which is blown out of an exhaust system to a different area, then when the gas is depressurized it becomes cold, and that is what's blown out. It's the same idea as how those air duster cans get really cold. This is due to the pressure of the gas decreasing.
Finally a smart person! These are scam conditioners lol
You didn't hear the sarcasm in his voice?! He said that then pointed the camera at the TV and aquarium to show it was because those things were heating up the room. So you're just saying the same thing he did, without the sarcasm, lol
@@natehead6978 haha I know. Right before he showed the TV and aquarium he mentioned them as the reason being hot. Lol
@@voodooman4636 they're not really a scam they just shouldn't be called (or thought of as) "air conditioners". They won't cool a room down, but they'll cool the area around you - especially when pointed at you. There are much larger, more expensive versions of these that will act like air conditioners, but those are expensive. These are just for your desk or nightstand.
I got a little fan that does this a bit ago, it doesn't look like the one in the video but it does the same thing, and it sucks as expected lmao. Especially in the florida humidity. I mostly just got it for if I'm sitting outside and get hot, then it's a nice little fan to bring out there and have blow on me, but for my room, I got myself a window unit for 40 bucks. with a remote and digital controls. keeps my room nice and chilly. so if you guys are thinking of getting one of these to cool a room then don't bother lol. try and find a cheap used window unit.
I have had one for two years. It is only a personal space cooler. It is not made to cool a room. Works great on your desk or night stand while sleeping.
So I'm thinking about buying one. Do you saying its worth buying for to put in my room
@@tdawg2544 I love mine. You have to remember it's a "personal space" cooler. It cools what is right in front of it. I sleep with mine on my nightstand. I work with it on my desk. It has to be filled with water (I use distilled). The air flow has to be directly aimed at you and within two to three feet at the most. Mine saves me running the AC at night. I think it's worth the money because many times when I settle down to one area, I use it and set the AC to a higher temperature.
I have a small Pioneer a/c and heater on my wall.. and it is very cold for a/c. Heater keeps the room warm in winter. Her room is probably colder then the rest of the house in the winter maybe? Very worth getting a Pioneer. It's about 3' wide and 10" deep and maybe 8-10" in height.
Before using the AC you have to wait a few minutes until the filters are soaked with water, so the cooling works
jupamoers Yes! The saturation of the filter is what makes the cold air!! It will only work when the filter is COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH WATER. I'm trying to inform people, too. Don't use ice! Just room temp water needed to produce icy cool, REFRESHING air. Friends, please read my lengthy review here in the comments and I'll be happy to answer questions. God Bless ❤
What do I have to do to make the filters wet?
@@Zanellatior you just fill it up with water . It has a section for it .
@@AZRose2375 Hi, what temp can you achieve? ì want it for my dog's house ehehe thnx
??? What cooling???? It doesn't have a cooling effect, there's no compressor in there. It's just pushing out humid air. There's no cooling effect it only pushes out humid air which if the room is somewhat cool it will seem like it's cooler but it's really not
For an optimum usage and to feel its coolness, our research shows that it's better to use it in winter with your windows half opened. Only then you will see a significant drop in room temperature.
Dwl
🤣
LMAO 😂
I got one of these at Goodwill for 4 dollars, Took it apart and modified it, added 6 Peltier cells and one heat sink instead the "soaking filter" and it's actually working now. Not the best but better than it was.
Can you give more details instructions etc. Or make a video? Thanks
@@Alvan81 yeah that would be "cool" lol
Thankyou
Apparently, the pretty light made the purchase worth it. even though, RED would have a HOT placebo effect imho. lol
we bought this for my dad, even with it 2 feet away from his face he was still hot. it hardly puts out any cool air. in short, it sucks! save your money
Yes I think you are right
Just use fan and cold towel
Is only good for Uni/college students 1 bed dorm/room or old age care centers for your granny. I'm talking actually a room only 2.5m x 3m room by your bed side with the night weather temperature of approx 25 degrees. Then this will cool your room down to 22-23 for about an hour or so. That's it. Then it will stay maybe 23-22 degrees.
Don't bother buying it & use it if the outside temperature is even past 27-30 degrees heat; or even during the day in your room. It will not work.
@@mr8883 No its good for everyone.
@Experienced Gamer Drinking liquid is a reliable technology and artic air just atracts mosquito. It seems like you kids are working harder to avoid work then actually doing things.
Bought window unit for $96. Hurricane aftermath in Florida using small Honda generator. A back unit (bedroom, bathroom, closet) which was 235 sq ft. I opened the window, placed unit with a few 2x4 pieces and foam. Outside=91', inside 5 minutes=86', 15 minutes 80', 1 hour=74', 2 hours= 70' constant max. Then intermittent as needed...
I think it is meant to be like a personal cooler, it will not cool an entire room for sure! Just direct at on your face and you will feel a bit better, don't expect nothing intense for $40! If you measure the temp right in front of it you will notice it is cooler indeed, but not farther than 1 meter away.
This thing DEFINITELY WORKS!!! Just make sure your ac is cranked up, lol!

This is called a humidifier. It will increase the moisture in the room.
Sholey Alex nat advertised as a humidifier tho... 😅
Yup. Where do they think all that water is going.
It also reduces temperature due to water evaporation. That's actually how most large scale air conditioning systems work. But they usually dry the air again before returning it to the system so it won't feel like a cold rain forest! This one is both an air conditioner and a humidifier indeed.
No its a personal cooler. But it's designed to cool the person not the room. And yes, it does add moister to the air.
@@gunner678
Only very slightly if at all, highly doubtful.
That's not how the physic work.
Moisture is "boiled off" in absorbing heat in local area.
I like the light on the device. For example if you're kids are complaining about their room being extremely dark and hot, this will help them with that problem.
Wow❤😮
Try cracking open a window in the room, close the bedroom door, put cold water in it and maybe it will perform better. In the west ,we have what they call swamp coolers and the way they work best is cracking open a few windows in the house so it can circulate.. If you live in a high humidity area the product will not perform well. Dry heat is the best conditions for this type of cooler.
The box AND the instructions tell you that it’s not supposed to cool an entire room
timewarp38 but one of the commercials i got for it said: cools a room to a nice cool temperature in 60 secunds.
@@waskus Exactly. In the ad, it said it "cools a room." Also on the ad, it said the company doesn't spend money on ads so they can pass the savings to the customer, LOL.
@@RuToob &. Niko
If the adds made those claims, they were WRONG.
Adds are NOT the product.
Before I buy I usually know more about their product than the salesman.
Try it, a profitable effort.
@@johnlopperman2161 I think Niko and I know that already. I think you misunderstood our comments. But thanks.
timewarp38 it’s still very bad...
These work a little better than a swamp cooler,when I used to swamp coolers to cool my home yes it was cooler but the humidity made the wooden my house swell, it made it harder to open and shut doors my elderly mother.
You may want to add a return air vent in that room if your hvac system allows it to be added that large tv and terrarium will add heat a ceiling fan can help with circulation if there’s not one already
