I happen to own both the Zero Breeze Mark2 and Wave1, and upon reviewing the video, it appears that the Mark2 remains the preferable choice for my outdoor activities. Unlike the Wave2, which exclusively relies on Ecoflow's own battery and power storage, the Mark2 allows me to utilize alternative power storage and battery systems from other brands. This limitation of the Wave2 is quite frustrating for me. Additionally, the connection cable between the air conditioner and the battery is noticeably bulky and prone to being misplaced, unlike the ZB Mark2, which can be conveniently positioned between the front seats. Concerning the quality issues encountered with the Wave1, such as fan axle breakage and display failure, users have expressed their apprehensions. It is challenging to anticipate when these problems may arise. Unfortunately, Ecoflow has not shared any information regarding the measures taken to address these issues during this period, leaving me uncertain if the Wave2 has indeed resolved these concerns.

I'm assuming there's a DC power supply for the AC input. If so, I'm wondering if the output can be tapped with a battery that isn't an ecoflow. I've seen another video where they tried tapping the ecoflow DC port, but it didn't work because of the data lines. I don't think those would be present on the output of a power supply.

@04DynaGlyde 10 ай бұрын

I'm very disappointed with the ecoflow Wave 2 air conditioner/heater. My recommendation is to use 7 inch air duct insulation to put over the AC exhaust hose. Because the exhaust hose omits a lot of heat from it. Also, the right side of the Wave 2 housing/body gets extremely warm and omits heat. This should be insulated on the inside. And I've noticed the Wave 2 fresh air hose when connected it seems to draw in the hot Texas summer air and diminishes cooling output. As well I noticed the battery life barely works for 2 hours on max before it is completely drained of power and dead! This unit is very overpriced for the performance that it shortly offers.

@williamdthomas9968 Жыл бұрын

After watching this video, there are a few points about Wave2 that caught my attention: The accompanying battery cannot be charged separately; it must be connected to the air conditioner to charge. This is particularly troublesome and unreasonable. When I deplete the battery of the air conditioner outdoors and want to charge it, I have to carry the entire air conditioning unit with me. Keep in mind that this adds up to a weight of 50 pounds. Wow, 50 pounds! What does that have to do with portability? For me, portability is a crucial factor to consider, and I might choose Zero Breeze instead. Their product weighs less than 30 pounds, which is half the weight of Wave2, and can be easily lifted with one hand.

Hi, some reviewers opted to NOT connect the intake hose essentially avoiding pulling in hot air from outside and making the WAVE 2 more efficient by recirculating the cooled air in the van or room. What are your thoughts on this? Keep in mind that in hot places like Nevada the ambient air itself is warm and not just the sun.

@otterishly777 Жыл бұрын

The problem with that is that it would create a pressure differential, which will result in hot, outside air infiltrating the room, anyway--so I don't think you'd increase efficiency. (And if, like me, you primarily use an air conditioner during wildfire season--when the house can't be cooled down at night be opening the windows, due to smoke--this approach wouldn't be good, because it would bring in outside air, via the pressure differential.)

Isn’t better to just exhaust the heat and leave the intake hose inside to draw fresher air instead of the outside hot air ?

@Gryllus2501 Жыл бұрын

It technically has 4 vents. It’s spilt ac/heat. So back and back too can pull and vent outside air, while the front and front top vent inside air. So you can maintain humidity and inside pressure & temperature. It’s much better ac this way. Like if you ever used a portable ac with single vent which blow all the hot air out while front gives you the cool air. It has to switch between cooling and evaporating the excess water. So doesn’t just blow constant cool. Where as window ac unit is split at the window so all the heat and water is outside, while just cool air insides. Some do or don’t draw fresh air. Eco Wave 2 is really quite a cool top end product. Interested.

RVers can get a 2000w Generator/inverter and a smallish 5000 BTU portable that will provide better cooling for longer....plus all the benefits and the flexibility of a small, relatively quiet emergency power source. Again, for less than the cost of one of these toys.

Valid points, but while spendy yes, I have gone 100% EcoFlow: Delta Max 2000 and Wave 1 last year, Wave2, Glacier and River Pro 2 this year ... all sale bundles. I have not purchased solar panels yet. I live in rural NW Montana ... BUT power is underground from the highway 1.7 miles away. 17 years in this house with few outages but they have been increasing in the last 2 years: equipment failures NOT storms although one can probably be blamed on super-cold. I have 3 goals: cover power outages at my home where I also work and have a substantial amount of food in 3 freezers (Summer is my most vulnerable time for cooling, freezers and water), Off grid power and A/C in my 20 year old motorhome (has an ONAN gen ...will get to that later), not the A/C but River2 and Frig/Freezer for shopping trips in my Jeep Wrangler. I don't have propane or gas at my home. Personal preference but I am not a fan of gas gen although I know there are some that are quieter than the 20 year old Onan, but I don't want to store gas either and if I have gone to the trouble of finding a gorgeous spot off the beaten path, I do not want to listen to a generator. House: I do plan to get a dual fuel genset to run my well-pump with propane. And my house is set up with a cutoff from power grid to a gen house. Bottomline, for me I made the decision to go EcoFlow for the quiet, the efficiency and transportability plus not having to store gas. Personal choice to spend more for a solution I prefer. FWIW, so far 2 power outages: 1 was 7 hours when temp was -18F. I have woodstove and there was snow so heat and water was not an issue although I did run a helper heater in a closet that houses the pressure tank and was getting cold. I had internet (I use a cellular router), laptop, big monitor for work. I used 20% of Delta Max no muss/no fuss. Again personal choice for my situation. So far, I have spent just under $6K . ***Edited to add that I live and travel in low/very low humidity places. Wave1 cooled my home office which is on the south end of my home with windows/slider on 3 sides ... 10 x 12 room with computer stuff running. Temps to 96F outside, 72F inside.

@Down Grid Survival I want it mostly for camping. My shiftpod tent. This design fits the bill. Pricey, but it fits the bill: 1. I can carry it in two parts. 2. It has two vents like my tent. 3. Lasts 8 hours at night on the battery. 4. The batter is sealed separately, so I don't have to worry about seeping. 5. I can carry it. 6. I can carry it. I cannot carry the regular "portable" ac units, they're about 60 pounds and I was not aware of that until my brother mentioned it. So, yes, pricey, but it works with me. If it does what it says, I'm easily satisfied. I have the mark xero breeze spot cooler, and very satisfied with it for what it does as it performs as advertised. But, I want a little more space now. ^_^

You Will NEVER pull 200 watts ( safely) from a STANDARD 12 volt outlet in your vehicle , the wiring will cause the fuse to pop , or you will have a fire that starts under your dash !!!

That's what they make inverters for

It pulls 12.6 volts at 8 amps your fuse is safe

And as with the last one, they're still locking us into using their bullshit battery. And as with the last one, I won't be buying it until someone can provide a work around. I refuse to use their overpriced batteries when I've got 3kwh of my own battery and solar available to use.

An incredible design stupidity is the placement of the hot air outlet in close proximity to the fresh air inlet (using tubes that have outlets on the plate right next to each other). I see this in a number of KZfaq videos for this unit (EcoFlow Wave 2) and can't help but wonder. There is even something similar supplied from the manufacturer as a backing. Are there that many people with such incredibly poor knowledge of the elementary laws of physics? I wonder what happens when a fan pushes air into some space that is effectively identical to the place from which the air is drawn back. Logically, at the point of discharge of the pump, there is an increase in pressure that rapidly expands in all directions, but preferentially to areas of lower pressure. Thus, if there is underpressure in close proximity caused by the air conditioner intake pipe, then much of the hot air from the outlet will be drawn back into the air conditioner inlet. All this can of course be verified and clearly seen, e.g. by colouring the air flow. Of course, by sucking hot exhaust air back into the system, the efficiency of the whole system decreases. It's unbelievable how such stupid designers could make such a good air conditioner.  Whose stupid idea was it to have those two pipes ending in holes right next to each other? I can't believe the designers themselves could come up with that. Maybe the engineers were on vacation and the cleaning lady filled in.  It would be much more efficient to use only a pipe with a hot air outlet to the outside and leave the intake of air from the interior, i.e. air that is already partially cooled. The underfloor pressure in the room itself will already take care of the air supply from other places, e.g. from the corridor or through vents from the rooms, which can be chosen in places where the air is cooler.
