@@seanoleary1979 Sounds like a sales pitch. Probably a bot, or at the very least someone who works for the company.

Yep, I use it by my beside too. I live in NJ and sometimes it's hot and humid. It cools of my bed just fine. I personally can't stand air conditioning and hence my bedroom is over the garage which central air doesn't really reach. This has been perfect today and the few hot days we had so far.

Yep it works does as it says. it is definently worth it.

I live in South Jersey and have two of them. Even adding ice they do not cool down a hot room. They are a huge rip-off! They are basically small, noisy fans..

Any chance for a very quick 2-3 sentences review of your experience with the product?

@@EAprima it finally arrived... and your review was spot-on. As you said, it won't cool an entire room, but the chilled air is perfect for keeping me cooler. Thanks! I'm happy with my purchase, and I may buy a second one at some point.

It does work to a "degree"

Yes agreed. I’m a fellow air conditioning engineer and these things are a complete scam. Anything that doesn’t have a BTU or K.W rating isn’t a air conditioner period.

I totally I agree

It's works great !! For my Xbox one s/x Keeps it cooler. And my Xbox will last longer. :note: My 1st Xbox 360 elite , lasted 7 years. The 5 years I owned it !.

There's many of these Chinese companies making silly BS like this

I bet it only takes about five minutes to warm the filter up to room temperature and once the ice melts the cooling effect will be reduced quite a bit. Of course, it all depends on the relative humidity and if you are in a humid environment these devices will be no better than a fan.

@@jamesmorrissey5604 Actually worse than a fan at that point, as it will also raise the room's humidity level making if feel hotter yet.

@@sickandtiredofbeingsickand it definitely wouldn’t do much in a large area! But I live in a tiny box so 😂 keeps me cool while I’m sleepin

My 18 litre machine has a powerful fan and it works very well when the temperature is above about 24°C. The small ones are useless !!! But I don't need to oil any bearings or replace pads. I take the pads out in the winter and wash them off !!!! You need to dismantle the fan to oil the bearings which have lubricant in the Bushes. So you don't need to lubricate the bearings for years !!! You don't lubricate an electric fan bearings very often !!!

It’s way better to have a pure white roof instead to reflect 80 to 90% of sunlight. They say that having a pure white roof that at least reflects 80% of sunlight will stay about 28°C/51°F cooler from inside compared to a dark coloured roof on a summer afternoon.

So basically it’s just a glorified fan 🤷‍♀️

@@loreylane3918 A fan, not even glorified

This is its purpose. Not for ac on whole rooms but for tight spaces up close

If. Your in a humid area it will help.i saw a review vid on KZfaq and the guy was wanting to cool his interior of the car.nope..I've had 2.im in Florida and it shouldn't even be selling in the state.lol..save your money or invest in one of those actual Lil mini a.c.'s.looks like a Lil boom box.awsome..just trying to be helpful and was caught at just the right time to care.😁✌

@@dogwalkerdavid7168 Where do you find or buy a mini a/c like you are talking about ?

@@rosskrause3926 @tesscot It would depend on IF you want it for camping or a small room(as weight wouldn't be big issue at home) and just how much temperature differential you want. To get one, AC, made for travel I would start with an online search for "travel mini air conditioning unit"..."with heat" if you want heat, and try camping Air Conditioning. Then you should be able to find brands and sale locations and online ordering. If you want fast find pay and pick up, then your nearest Truck Stop will be number 1 place to go for small "lightish" travel AC. There's Quick Trip, Loves, Flying J, Pilot, etc. to name just a few in my area. Some restaurant chains have taken on placing their restaurants with the stores and fuel pumps that make up a truck stop. In my area I have seen McDonald's, Subway and Wendy's do so. Number 2 place to go next might be sporting goods stores. Evaporative cooling is what this little thing does. Older generations and depending on location in the states would call it a water cooler, or swamp cooler, and there are likely other nicknames. High humidity areas may be harder for one to cool as well. Evaporative cooling works by passing air though a damp medium. As the water evaporates (the towel dries) The warmth in the air is absorbed by the medium/towel so it can help evaporate the water out of the medium. Heat, or heat from a warmer medium will always move to a cooler surface/medium. Just like heat from stove is transferred to the pot with water in it and then from the pot surface to the water, heat moves from air to the wet medium, so air coming out is cooler. That small of a unit would work hard(stay on all day) to keep a well sealed and insulated 10' x 10' room cool. I mean it can do it but a regular water cooler would work so much better at cooling a room. They won't keep as cool as a refrigerated system(AC system) but they are much more efficient because all they are running is a blower motor.

@@rosskrause3926 I know this comment is 2 years old. Answering anyway as other may still be looking. Small TRUE COMPRESSOR type battery powered A/C units can be found easily on amazon, ebay, etc. They cost upwards of $900-1200 and some higher. For any decent run time you also have to buy an "extra" battery and they aren't usually cheap (often starting at several hundred $ and use a proprietary connector which means they can be connected only to the same brand/model and likely won't work on another brand's battery powered A/C). They will run on "eco" mode for about 6 hours with an extra (often lithium) battery connected. *_Additional Research_* Some compressor based portable A/C units use a "one hose" design, and some use a "two hose" design. Two-hose designs are GENERALLY better but not always by any significant amount even when running on house mains voltage. Research "one hose vs. two hose portable AC" on youtube (and variations on that theme) to get an idea of the differences.

So are you saying it has a rechargeable battery? Curious to know how the unit was running with no power.

@@NightLifeDJs1 You read my mind !!!

What if I can't get ice water ? I'm I allowed to use just water

Here in the Central Valley of Ca, really anything over 95 with a swamp cooler is unbearable. I grew up with swamp coolers. We’ve done all the tricks, frozen gallon jugs, etc……they’re junk, especially in high heat high humidity. They work great at 80 degrees and no humidity, but that’s a tolerable temp anyway.

Yeah, they tend to spew a lot of water in muggy areas.

You crack open every window a tiny bit, or, in a tiny room or camper you open one window about an inch- to get the swamp cooler effect.

Exactly, swamp cooler type cooling works well in the southwest (AZ, NM, etc) because it's hot but very dry... When the outside air is already saturated (humidity) they work poorly, if at all... Which is where regular A/C units work because they remove moisture from the air inside (a dehumidifier is very similar to an A/C).

It going to be 99 degrees with 58% humidity today. Both will increase tomorrow and Saturday to 105 and 106. Bottom line….a swamp cooler ain’t cuttin it.

same. got one at walmart. tried it out. returned it.

In many places it's almost never humid and hot. I'm going to fill it with ice water if that happens, like with my home made ones. It's an almost sure way to get a solar power, low watts cooling.c

I have to disagree just got mine and usually my room is really hot I can tell that the temperature dropped

I was just going to come on here and mention the "swamp cooler". Just a big bowl of ice water placed in front of a fan. It wouldn't cool like a regular ac but it did increase the coolness from the air flow of the fan. I also noticed on the side of the machine in this video had the arrow showing the water line on the side. It seems the water level was much higher than the line on the machine which would affect the results of the cooling but who knows.

My sister says hers works pretty decently to cool the room. Every online review I've seen says they are pure junk and don't work at all. Misting stations definitely work in hot humid climates but air movement seems necessary. Big misting fans for outdoor use work great too even with the high humidity and heat. Those big fans have large water tanks or they hook directly to water hoses. Moving air seems imperative. Shade helps too.

So you just put the gel pack and no water right?But I still freeze my filter so it's ice cold.

@@healthy2202 I agree. You'd be healthier, [and cooler] drinking the ice water!

Just imagine all the mold that'll collect on that filter, in a high humidity environment.

@@davemerrick8432 Try cold-ish water instead of ice water if you want to cool down for longer periods. Drinking ice cold water only alarms the body to heat up, because you're drastically undercooling your inner body. The near east has been doing this for an eternity, like lukewarm tea for example. The trick or rather idea is to ingest liquid that will cool the body, but not enough to trigger it. Drinking something ice cold does feel good though, but I've been getting used to something between lukewarm and cold for almost like two decades and once you're fine with it and you get over the part where your brain thinks drinking ice cold water is better, you'll notice how much longer the cooling effect lasts and how you won't get those super-heat moments where your body gets this small rush of heat. Of course, it's important to keep hydrating to keep that effect, but it's not like you'd stop hydrating anyway.

Probably in front of it. It's very very small does not replace a conventional air conditioner. I would say it's best for an emergency situation or as a replacement fan while you have an air conditioner running.

I did.

I do the same with a little bigger one that fits more ice during the night. I'm in California so it does work better, if you live in Florida where humidity is sky high just buy a fan.

You have nailed it. I have had one for about five years and couldn't live without it. I don't have regular air conditioner but this one does the trick for me. I carry it from room to room and it's on my nightstand when I go to bed. It is a personal AC and not made to cool a whole room. The filter can be frozen and you can add ice cubes in the water reservoir if you want to.

Correct. 100% spot on…

Yeah....like in the commercial...cooling down a room a guy is welding in!!! 🤣

AC can also mean air cooler

you should try a commercial unit that is paired with a high-mounted exhaust fan- you won't even miss the a/c

This should be commonsense, you have to do a load calculation to size a HVAC system to run a building. Artic air machine is the size of humidifier or vapor machine, it's not going to decrease room temp. The sensible heat will decrease which is the heat you body is or were feeling.

I like the video ad that suggests that the inventor was a teenager who came up with this invention to help school kids study and concentrate because the AC didn't work in their school , so this was the solution .🙄

Why don't you keep your dogs inside?😢 Try sleeping or even being outside all day and night yourself to see how your poor dogs feel..give them to someone who can take proper care of them.

Is this a paid post?

Adding ice water makes a hot difference. This is more so if you are sitting at a desk In an office at home a small space

Right you are! Gainesville is staggeringly hot right now and of course, the AC took a dump. I need to replace the entire AC in my house. I thought this might work just to cool off the area where I generally sit, but it's just junk. I wasted $40.00. Amazon is getting this thing back.

No it can cool a room. I run a 1000w power supply on my gaming system, which is water-cooled and that triple fan radiator makes for a toasty office. Without this little evaporative cooler after a short gaming session I would need to be dragged out of here... here in Africa we have a dryer heat than most. We also don't normally have air conditioning in our homes because we're not delicate flowers. My office is easily the coolest room in my house even mid gaming session thanks to what is essentially just a knock-off version of this cooler.

@@keldon_champion the exhaust vent configuration precludes humidity buildup and condensation- thats very easy to understand. theyre very popular here in san diego county (non-coastal) and A/C isn't sending them anywhere- especially with our high electric rates. we have the highest rates in the country. a large commercial or shop building can have lots of issues with humidity depending on whats in there, but the main goal is comfort for those who have to spend all day there- proper exhaust ventilation is crucial to the efficiency of the system.

also i wanted to point out that these devices are not all that similar to swamp cooler systems- these things nebulize the water into the air flow while swamp coolers use capillary media to bring moisture into contact with the air flow- a big difference especially regarding how much moisture is added to the air. if these things were sized similarly to a commercial cooling unit they would put out FAR more humidity....our system at the car dealer where i worked had a diverter door and it could bring outside air in or recirculate on drier or hotter days.
