If you had put ice in the ChillWell, would it had worked better?!.

Asians like to use the term "Aircon" instead of "AC" or "Air Conditioner". If the ad says "air con", you should think the product is from unreliable company of China. Most of asian countries are learning British style English. Reliable companies in Asia choose proper and familiar words for your country. So...... beware of that.

They have another one of these scam ads saying it was created by a NASA engineer

Ha!

So what happened was ontel made this humidifier sorry air cooler But it didn't sell well so they stopped production and he listed it from their website but they had a massive backlog in the warehouse of all these unsold units So this random Chinese company (We know it's Chinese because they had to use AI to do their English video) probably bought out their entire stock at a huge discount cuz they were trying to get rid of them rebranded as chillwell and sold off all the originally unsold units with this fake video fake story etc Honestly basic business when you're talking about international trade and scammy products

I'd never pay good money for one but if I found one in the trash, that's what I'd use it for.

Chinese companies don't follow laws

simple, the FTC is the worst government agency EVER and needs to be shut down, period. They are useless.

If the ad for the thing youre selling is using stock footage and an AI voice, legality has never been considered. At that point youre just trying to as shamelessly scam people as possible.

They don't advertise them as air conditioners, they advertise them as air coolers. Slick, and unfortunate that they both have the same letters that can be represented as AC. Except air conditioning is usually shown as A/C, and these are advertised as AC.

Maybe they are illegal. Someone has to actually get the site blocked or payments to them blocked, or their web host held liable. It's not magic.

Tbh they're even somewhat useful in humid environments too (up to a limit) I use them in the UK in the summer until it gets too humid and then the evaporative coolers do nothing (ditto for any fans) But I'm aware that these simply can't be air conditioners, especially when they don't condition the air and they actively act as humidifiers. I have something similar to this on my desk but because it was actually advertised as an evaporative air cooler, it cost just £20

thank you sir for the info - i was scammed by this company for 5 units that I still haven't received. I am curious how they have so many 4.5+ stars on the Amazon reviews - they must be paying people to lie or know how to manipulate the reviews.

That's what a swamp cooler is! They do work in conditions that aren't humid. The problem is dumb people not doing any research into what they are buying and then buying something that won't work for them and then they shit on it.

Eh, I didn’t and learned everything I know about Physics from KZfaq and knew this ad was for gretards.

what does blowing a plastic bag tell besides that it blows?🤣🤣🤣

I had a memorable experience with a window mounted water cooler in an Arizona motel room five decades ago. It was summer and the outside temperature was around 90 degrees. At first the coolness was refreshing. However, within an hour or so the humidity in the room was oppressive and any cooling effect was swamped by the muggy air. Also I remember reading about the problem of bacteria and mold building up in the "drip pad" unless it was cleaned regularly. No telling what was blowing into that cheap motel room along with the moist air.

Yeah, I live in Washington State, one of the most humid places in the US. These swamp coolers don't do much up here in my experience. I have one of those portable air conditioners that hooks up to a window with a hose now. KZfaq loves to tell me how crappy and inefficient these are, but it works for me, lol.

Exactly. I picked mine up at my local grocery store for about 10 bucks. Comes with RGB LED lights and all and it works reqally well as long as its standing just next to you blowing you right in the face but cooing an entire room with one of these? Not a chance.

I genuinely didnt know about swap coolers till i visited my brother when he was in colorado. We lived in connecticut which has very humid (when hot) summers meaning adding humidity is unimaginable. Its still kinda weird to me but it works there so im not gonna question results

The issue with swamp coolers is, they don't work in a closed space.

@@jjjacer You probably need double that, minimum. I use 12K units since they still work on 120.

@@toriless yeah the 5k unit just slows the heating of the garage and removes humidity, eventually ill get my garage insulated and go with a 120v mini split. i really got the 5k unit for my cargo van as its the cheapest way to cool something like that, just got to drill a 6in hole in the body lol

It happens.. don't deny it.

Still less energy usage than ac, no?

@@mattBLACKpunk I can cool your house with the power of thought for $5 a month. Far less energy usage than even these coolers :)

Probably, with some of this goofy crap you never know... 90% savings electric savings by being 99% more sweaty, feeling %95 hotter, and having a %90 more chance of messing up the drywall/sheetrock most homes have... Unless you live in a super low humidity, high temperature environment and have it blow right at you

Swamp coolers are absolutely more efficient than AC when it comes to cooling hot dry places.

Bruh I hope she know about off grid solar system soon, that could be more efficient in long range while still allow her to use anything like normal

Mr. Breeze has a nice ring to it...

They're always NASA engineers, people who beat their professor, or military vets.

Yeah, that's the Breezy Comfort. Same garbage, different name. And they make it look like there are big copper tubes inside that hold real coolant. Nope! Ironically, that ad popped up for me in the middle of this video.

I recently saw an ad with a shot of a frosted up copper pipe. No view or explanation of what it was connected to or how it works.

yep that one was the version they tried here in Sweden, where the Engineers suddenly where getting Swedish names as if we had some big AC industry (which would be very strange since close to no one have AC here).

As an engineer, I will 100% sell anything I invent to "big xxxxx" rather than start my own business....I'm not a businessman, im an engineer, and if I can get rich doing engineering I'm gonna do it.

"The thing that’s killing me is I’m a truck driver, and I’m told AC is a 'Luxury.'" - It will probably remain a "luxury" until the point where heat exhaustion literally causes a driver to fall asleep and crash a truck, causing hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in damages and potential lawsuits.

That's insane. Where do you drive. I couldn't drive for an hour where I live without AC. It's been 98-100°F for weeks and it's essentially always 100% humidity here so all that sweat does is make you more miserable. Once when I drove OTR I was near Death Valley CA and it was ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, and guess what - my AC went out. I called my company for them to send me to a shop and they told me I would have to wait. I asked them where they wanted me to leave the their rig as I was going to take a train home. They sent me to a shop.

When I drove a truck, the truck stops with the hook up AC units were a GOD SEND. Wish it was more widespread.

@@lucianaromulus1408 The yellow round things in the ground you ran a clothes dryer outlet style expanding tube for ac and it also had cable tv and phone hookups?

@hideousruin7222 they weren't in the ground, they were suspended from this elevated metal beam structure that ran throughout various truck parking spots. I think it was called Idle Air (its been a few years).

That sounds like the first Chillwell, shown at 9:55, which has a tank at the top!

If you don't remove the heat from inside your house and get it to the outside you're wasting your time and money. These things cannot work. If you put ice in it and blow air across the ice it will be cold air because it's removing the heat as the heat is absorbed into the water of the melted ice but the heat in your house is now in the water. You'd have to continuously throw the water outside and refill it with ice over and over.

i try to tell people ice isn't going to cool a room the amount of ice you would need would be obscene i would then point to a glass of a ice water and ask them how much its going to cool the room by the time all the ice melts and they just call me stupid

Old news for sure. 😅😅

So in order to save electricity you have to use a real air conditioner to freeze the ice so that your fake air conditioner can blow the cold air on you?

TEC is great when you need it to be small and cheep, but they use a LOT of energy to create that cold compared to compressor refrigeration. Also that heat need to be dumped somewhere, I have been thinking running water would be a great way to cool a tec easily and effectively (here water comes from a river so no water is wasted if you let it run).

Also, the fact that they used some footage of a documentary (not that kid engineer one on KZfaq, but rather one from Switzerland's SRG SSR!) to make some fake "backstory" trying to trick viewers to buy these "portable ACs" that is straight up a scam! When I see that ad in the video, that SRF 1 logo at the top right already throws me off even before the video went to that part when he noticed it! I KNEW it was fake and a scam right when I saw that! Also, he did some similar ones already (I recommend watching the Blaux ones, which is a similar scam product that he debunked back!)

Freeze your bottles in friend's hplace or you only increse the heat load inside your house.

Except that when you froze it, the freezer dumped the same heat + some more in the house that the bottle will absorb.

@@XtreeM_FaiL Except that the hot air from the freezer dissipates into the house evenly (not noticeable), but the blowing cool air on you feels good.

Only a British-made air conditioner would run on coal...But if it's possible to reclaim and recycle the coal it uses for cooling, perhaps we could send it to our railway industry so they can then put it inside the „new“ steam trains the Dept. for Transport has just promised us? 🙃

@@dieseldragon6756 Will those British coal-powered steam trains be riding on the new railroad we're building in the US to cross the Pacific and Indian Oceans? 🤪

I'm guessing they meant to say charcoal, as to imply that it had an activated charcoal filter in it and toss another buzzwordy lie onto the pile. But given that these garbage ads are probably written by ChatGPT and assembled completely by AI algorithms, there was likely no actual human intervention to check the glaring errors in them.

I mean, it could very well be the same people who were behind Blaux for all we know. These fly-by-night operations tend to just buy drop shipments from whatever Chinese factory is selling the cheapest that day, which is why these come usually unbranded and in a bunch of different styles, and when enough people finally catch on and report them for misleading the consumer about their junk, they just disincorporate and come back a month later under a new name which makes it really hard to stamp them out entirely.

Every summer I looked forward to my amazon shilling the same Blaux revolutionary space heater I mean AC all over my home page. They all look exactly the same and have some crazy story about how they changed the AC market forever.

yup, they're swamp cooler/evaporative coolers, the one in the video operates more like a humidifier (due to using spray nozzles) more than a swamp cooler that's blowing air by a wet pad. yeah, they work when the humidity is low, but you cant run them for long as they increase the humidity in the room then it'll just be a hot muggy room. while these wont cool a room, they will cool a body part when they're sitting about a foot away blowing on said body part but keeping them on for too long it will increase the humidity to the point where they don't work.

He did, I remember seeing his video a while ago.

I spent this whole time thinking this was a re-upload or this guy really did a video about this

Fans actually produce additional heat from the motor. It just feels cooler because the moving air

A long time ago a buddy of mine made a sort of air conditioner using an old blower motor, a cooler, couple pipes, and sacks of ice he'd take from his restaurant job after close. The machine would just refill the bin with fresh ice overnight so nobody knew or cared, and he would use this makeshift thing to cool his room in the summer. It was surprisingly effective from what he said. It made his room comfortable during the day, and then he worked nights. It was a tremendous amount of work but money was tight.

1 20" Lasko for $24 at Walmart is plenty for 1 person.

Southern England is the same place I first found myself craving the essential "luxury" of AC. I knew it existed - the family car had it - but like. Not buying your story that it isn't hot long enough. Avoided suffering for multiple years is surely worth the less than £1000 a window box would cost.

@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 the south does get hotter than north. I live in the north west, close to a large river and the sea where it always cooler. Maybe if global warming keeps extending the heatwaves but for now air con would be overkill and a waste of money to buy and run compared to a ceiling fan. Buy and use what meets your needs best this why we have multiple options for heating and cooling solutions

Not a factor as most people have a freezer anyways that runs 24/7

@@DiggingDeepVlog It still takes a little more energy.

@@AnonymousFreakYT It take 0% more energy to freeze the filter since the freezer is running at all times anyway. Unless the person trying to freeze the filter only turns on the freezer to cool the filter then it's not an energy increase.

@@AnonymousFreakYT I mean true you’d need to add in the energy expenditure for the fridge/freezer but what we’re saying is people already use those appliances anyways so it’s not really a factor

Actually, the freezer pack will cause a net increase in heat in the house, because you are using a true refrigeration system to freeze the ice pack. The refrigerator will put out more heat freezing the ice pack then the ice pack can absorb.

I'm sitting here under the nice coolness of one of those cheap Walmart window ac right now and it don't even up my electric bill if I let it run non stop lol

​@@F8...Which brand and model please?

.... got a small window air conditioned from sear for $99.00 30 years ago ... still going strong and cools 5,000 square foot bedroom ... good point about normal humid states ...

Of course it doesnt work, but if it did, it would be a significant savings here. Cheap AC has garbage SEER, and at 60c kwh electricity the difference in operating / purchase price between SEER units alone can be made up within a month. If it somehow cooled effectively and used 90%+ less power it would be a game changer.

Not like a heat pump, it’s a freezer, there’s no need to bring heat into the box. Heat pumps have a reversing valve that allows the switch from moving heat out to in.(direction the refrigerant flows) A freezer works like a freezer. (Or a regular A/C system if you really want a metaphor) Which is a vapor compressor pumping refrigerant through the system and the heat exchangers. (Evap and Condensing coils generally with a fan to live air across them.)

@@bertellijustin6376 Respectfully, nah mate. I don’t want to make enemies in the internet, but… A freezer is by definition an insulated box with a heat pump to pump heat OUT OF the box. Just like an AC system consists of a heat pump to pump heat out of the room, and some heaters use the same tech to pump heat into a room. As you said, you can have a central climate control system in your house with a reversing valve which would allow you to either cool or heat your house with the same system, but this reversing valve is not the defining characteristic of a heat pump. A heat pump is just the technology to move heat from one place to another consisting of a loop of two refrigerant-filled coils, a compressor, and a metering device between the coils (usually a capillary tube). Freezers, ACs, and heaters of the sort that use heat pumps all work the same. Some peripherals may be added to suit certain applications, e.g. fans across both coils of an AC, a resistive heating element for automatic defrost on a freezer, or a reversing valve on a climate control system. But the underlying heat pumps are identical. I think the confusion here is that the term “heat pump” is often used to refer to household heaters which use heat pump technology. Other applications for heat pumps have their own names based on what they do, e.g. freezer or AC, but since the word “heater” already describes many technologies, “heat pump” has become shorthand for a heater which uses that tech. Cheers mate.

Yeah, that's something a lot of people seem to forget and furthermore, the cooling effect of the swamp cooler can never make up for the heat the freezer spewed into the house (assuming the freezer is located inside with no external venting, which is the case for most households) while creating that block of ice, so the net effect is not cooling but actually heating.

@@MLennholm Great point! Electricity wasn’t the full cost of cooling the ice… you also pay in heat spewed by the freezer. I forgot about that!

​@@bertellijustin6376its a heat pump, heat pumps dont need to be two way to be heat pumps. Now, aircon systems that can pump heat two way are marketed as heatpumps yes, sure. But thats just because they sell better like that in cooler regions, not because a regular aircon wouldn't be a heat pump.

90€ for that thing? in germany you can buy similar coolers for less then 20€ from discounter store

Should add, for full home cooling you need a big one. These are great though for the hot but dry days where you just want a "cool" breeze while at the computer!

I don't know where you are, but I live in Michigan, and it seems like whenever it's hot enough to where I'd want air conditioning on, it's humid as well. So they'd pretty much be useless for me, I guess!

The best thing you can do in the future to prevent yourself from getting scammed on anything is to remeber you do not get something for nothing. There is no such thing as a pertpetual motion machine and in the case of air conditioning, cooling and dehumidify air is an energy intensive process. It is not free in your home and it is not free in your car. You car's MPG suffers because a significan amount of energy is required to compress Freon or whatever refrigerant is used. Have you ever felt and old fashioned style bike pump? Remeber how the pump gets pretty warm? That is work converted to wate heat. Compressing a vapor is very inefficient. Freon is a working fluid that changes phase during the refridgeration cycle. The energy to compress the Freon vapor is mostly lost as heat. There is zero way a table top device that runs on batteries can accomplish any of this. Anybody that trys to tell you otherwise is an idiot or more likely, thinks you are.
