That stupid made money scamming thing can't cool a shoe box.

[@txlatinchicka5138]

Thank you, thank you! This review is the ONLY one which tells how LONG it actually cools! No other review mentions that! While this is not the latest model, the cooling time is ESSENTIAL to know. Thank you.👍

[@danielgaddis7496]

It's an evaporative cooler. Won't work in humid environments. The water in the pad changing from a liquid to a vapor absorbs heat from the air. A super efficient one can lower the air temperature 15 to 20° maximum. This unit will not cool down a room it might blow some cool air onto a person but that's about it.

[@emmanueljr]

I learnt this the hard way

[@Raiche58]

Thank you for the comments. It's a fan. The humidity can be a plus or a minus.

[@tboy630]

Notice no one is saying how it actually works and that's because it doesn't!

[@bgdavenport]

Most folks are not accustomed to work in a hot workshop/greenhouse environment. If they were, they would quickly recognize this class of "air conditioner" as a miniature swamp cooler. The method of operation is simple; ambient air is forced over a permeable, wet substrate which lowers the temperature of the air but increases the humidity (quite a bit). You can lower the temperature in a room by as much as 10 degrees with a couple of non-oscillating fans positioned so that they create a cyclonic air flow around the room.

[@CivilChev]

Thank you so much! You just saved my wife and I a lot of time and money!

[@HDsharp]

You just need to crack a window open for it to work more proficiently.

I have A northern chill mini air cooler it's decent when i am cooking and in my small bathroom. Wet the filter freeze for 30-60min add ice with the water it helps.

[@grahvis]

If you cool something down, the heat must go somewhere, so ask yourself, where is it going. Proper air conditioners vent to the outside.

[@europeanconfidence32]

Exactly what I thought

[@doggs4life788]

your lowering the heat not getting rid of it

[@AlexThompson171]

Hypothetically, the heat energy could be being used to evaporate the water (evaporative cooling is how sweat works)

[@xuyu43]

Evaporizing 1 pound of water takes 970 BTU. This is a mini swamp fan.

[@ilikemetroid]

The heat is transferring to the water I assumed?

[@LedaMuchomas]

Just a warning..if you see one being demonstrated in an air conditioned show room it can be very deceiving . I watched a group of people in a store standing around a running display of one of these gadgets and they were just awed by how cold the air coming out felt! Just like a real air conditioner!! Sure, if the air going in is already cooled..it’s going to feel like a real air conditioner. But believe me..when the air is 80 degrees it’s a much different result. If you want to know what it’s gonna feel like, wet a hand towel, wring it out and put it in front of a fan..that’s about what you can expect. Which certainly has its uses..as long as you manage your expectations.

​@@GoatedAimznobody, because I can confirm they do work. It's how you use it. Even a fan drawing from ice works why can't these work?

[@newsguy5241]

ACtually because it does put water into the air, I used mine as a sort of mini-humidifier during the winter. It helps! But as for the AC--kind of lame.

[@micsurveylimiteduk9615]

If it was an aircon it would have a BTU grade. Its just just water cooler and end off day your room will not get any cooler because it work more like a fan.

[@jspanyer]

Bologna, I bought one and it's no better than a fan and probably not even as good, because most fans blow a lot harder. But if you want moist warm air in your room, that you're trying to cool and probably dehumidify, and these mini water based units will work great for you.

[@bengonzales1182]

In my experience, they work about as well as you'd expect them to.

[@stugiles2090]

Considering that the function of true AC is humidity removal, then why do you ADD water for this unit? That adds humidity to the surrounding air. Sounds like a fan with a block of ice in front of it would serve the same purpose.

[@HDsharp]

With mine, I don't even have to put ice in it to receive cool air back. I just add cool tap water. And the cool air I receive back is much cooler, it's not just a fan. They really do work.

[@donaldgarvin9885]

Has anybody know the make of that square little air filter

[@Nibz-s9y]

Does it cool the whole room?

[@tonyktown]

I own two of that same model. I live in Los Angeles, where the summer air tends to be hot and dry in the daytime, and warm and dry at night. That little cooler on the table next to the bed keep that immediate area nicely cooled and works fine. The only time I now have to run the AC is when the temps go over 90 with high relative humidity, otherwise I just run the coolers.

[@Austinandpup]

Yup it's a little swamp cooler so of course it works in a dry environment.

[@mawi1172]

Yes, they run okay. But I was overcharged by over $100. With no one to complain to. They don't talk.

Is it effective if put ice instead of water or ice in cold water? What is the result? Does it bring down the temperature?

[@carultch]

If you are producing that ice from a refrigerator INSIDE the same room you are trying to cool, it will actually heat up the room. Same reason that leaving your refrigerator door open will heat up your kitchen.

What’s the brand?

[@irvingmedina9428]

About one of the similar models in Home Depot supposed to be pretty good but it wasn't took it back

[@04fys513]

One of the ways that an air conditioner helps to cool you, is by removing the humidity in the air, allowing your sweat to evaporate. This unit, while it does decrease the air temp by a few degrees, it also increases the humidity in the air, and that will make you feel worse in the long run.

[@MumblzDelusional]

Is the water supposed to trickle down thru the black filter? Mine doesn't, and it juss blows warm air! Thxx

[@Callmemochaa]

Mine sounds like yours. The water goes in a reservoir on the top, and just sits there. It would make sense for the water to drip down to where the filter could absorb the water and stay damp. My filter dries out in a few minutes and then all the to thing functions at is like a small, regular fan.

[@MumblzDelusional]

It's a waste of time little Mini swamp cooler if you're humidity is high it will not do anything. Other than make you feel like you're drowning in moisture.

[@russelledwardsedwards144]

Today where im at in Texas it was 95° but it felt like 108° because of the humidity , it has been averaging 85° with high humidity at midnight. That little water fan is going to do nothing. If you live in Arizona ok maybe a little bit ?

[@wackyweirdochic]

Same here. Had this for a good month and the red light won't turn off even when water is filled to the brim. I've been picking up the part the holds water and dropping it back into place repeatedly until it stops blinking. Can't really complain since I got it for under 30 bucks I guess

[@wackyweirdochic]

The red light stops blinking after I add pressure to the top by pushing it with my hands

[@DodgersDugout]

This happened to me too after I didn’t use the unit for several months. I put the filter under water for a few minutes, filled the water reservoir, unplugged the device from the wall, then plugged it back in. It ran without any issues from there on.

[@johnpotter8039]

I have been designing air conditioning systems for the past 45 years. I've been asked about these "amazing" devices whose inventors live under the threat of assassination by agents from the big air conditioning companies. I wish. The numbers don't add up. I pound of water evaporated by an evaporative cooler extracts around 1,000 BTU, adding that amount of water to the air as vapor/absolute humidity. The units hold about a pint of water, or 1/8 of a pound, Running for an hour, one of these machines would remove 120 BTU per hour. Not enough to blast a room with freezing air. It is interesting that this scam has become so popular. It's a waste of money.

It's not a scam! They really do cool the room without any ice needed.
