Nice find!! It has good airflow, but I wouldn't say super strong. But it is quite cold air. I would think about where you want it to vent to get the most out of it. I personally still think it's better as a focused AC on you as you're at your desk, in the kitchen, etc than an AC that will fully cool a space so I'm very curious how your test goes! I hope you like it too!

@@alderandjade thanks ya I hope it works out, the main space I have in mind to try it in is just a small landing space/hallway area at top of stairs, space is only prob 100 square feet if that.. thinking I can direct the hoses into other nearby unused room which has a reg unit in there though to, but yea this should hopefully come in handy for that or like an emergency since it says it only needs 300 watts, If it's total junk well back it goes, Just looks like a better solution for small space then a regular fan or evap cooler.

You're so welcome! I also think the price will fall. I'm hoping it'll have a big drop for Amazon Prime days this July.

So far, every Bissell Carpet Cleaner I test is top notch! I totally believe you that yours is amazing too!

@@alderandjade Period, cuz me and my sister take turns with the carpet cleaner, she even likes it too, we say that the one we have is the hella great to use.

I SO agree! This balm heals everything. It's the super balm we pull out when regular chapsticks aren't working. The overnight difference is always surprising! I get why it could be banned given that it isn't meant for daily use and people might ignore that piece of the directions. I'm grateful for it though!

Yes! It has date and time stamps

I'm not an expert here so hopefully someone else will chime in too, but I'm pretty sure the water is the key piece. The ice packs are only there to keep the water cold. The whole concept is that the hot air is blown across a special cooling pad that has soaked up the cold water. The water absorbs the heat and evaporates as cool air gets blown out the other side. But these only work well in lower humidity areas. If the air is already very humid, it won't be able to absorb the cooler water nor will it be able to evaporate quickly. We live in the PNW and used this all of summer 2023 in our bedroom. It was on a wood floor blowing right at our bed. We never had any moisture issues. We actually used it to dramatically improve the terrible house AC. So we had it set up in front of the vent and it worked beautifully.

thank you, this helps alot!

It's only been a year, but it's as good as the day I got it! I can't imagine it breaking.

They really are! That said, I should probably baby mine too....I left mine out all winter to collect water and get spattered with mud. Still works perfectly though.

It is a 4,100 BTU DOE AC that claims to cool rooms up to 350 square feet. That said, I find the design to be better as a personal AC to cool the specific space you are in. Like having it blast at you while sitting at your desk will be super cooling.

Nice! I know you'll love them! These have become my husband's go to pair of sneakers!

At 2:48, I point out the drains. I does have a tank that collects the water and IF you aren't in a high-humidity area or don't run it all the time, it is designed to collect less water and evaporate most water it collects over time. That said, it will alert you when the tank is close to full and turn off it if is full so you can drain it. As for heat recirculating. The exhaust vent needs to go out the window so it doesn't recirculate. The lower side vent - I believe - is for the air evaporator more than anything, but no air is coming out of it. So no, it doesn't blow any warm air back into your space!

@@alderandjadeI appreciate your answer. My current unit is one hose and I can feel the heat radiating from the whole hose, which seems to be warming the room faster than the unit is trying to cool it. I have read that insulating the hose itself should keep that from happening so I was curious if you e run into that situation.

@@saddad6601 The exhaust hose will definitely get quite warm, but the physical heat on the hose should not be warming your room. The majority of the heat should be venting out the window. That said, any insulation you can add will make a difference. Covering the hose can help (but isn't necessary), but *definitely* make sure no hot air is coming in through cracks in the window opening. Another thing to keep in mind is the square footage this is designed for and that there is a temperature tipping point with small ACs. This Dreo is 12,000BTU so it's designed for 450-500 square feet. If you have it in a small room, but always have the door open to the rest of the house, that cool air is moving out of the room just as fast as warm air is moving in and you aren't going to notice as much of a difference minus feeling the extra heat on the exhaust hose. AND, from experience, I've found that these ACs work much better if you keep the room at a cooler temp. Say, keep your room 75F or lower and let it maintain that temp throughout the day. If you let the room go over 90F and then turn on the AC in the middle of the hot day, it's going to have a REALLY hard time countering that and getting the room back down to something cool. We usually keep our AC at 68F all day on hot summer days and it keeps the room at 68-74F depending on the outside temp.

Darn. I think I'll see what all-metal peelers are out there. I remember having a good one as a kid.
