REVIEW: Zero Breeze Portable Air Conditioner [FULL REVIEW] [REAL AC]

[@michaelburke5750]

I can't believe you got one that works! I was looking at buying one of these and they have dropped the price down to $99 on Facebook including a battery but when I saw all the complaints $99 seems like a waste of money now.

[@hershchat]

Best KZbin review in a LONG time. Brownlee became corporate, Verge went glitzy, and Pogue and Mosberg olded out. Looks like a new star is born! Now I’ll like to know what you think of the Tesla 3, Apple Watch, and Allen Edmonds Strand.

[@JRL244]

Great review! I did replace my stock adapter with a 180w model that had an internal fan from Amazon and it solves all of my power issues. Excellent job!

[@rogermendez7266]

Jay Lee Post the link to buy. Thank

[@beinggood4U]

It's now 2021, did they make the improvements or the needed improvement on the power adapter?

[@millertimeast]

I just pulled the trigger on it because there was a deal on i got, I’ll let you know if I have any serious problems with it or if it works great

[@Ira88881]

Have you seen how much they’re charging for this thing nowadays? Forget it. Plus, they don’t even sell the battery any longer, unless I’m reading their website wrong! You have to go to another supplier, and after hearing so many valid complaints about this company’s criminal business practices (product never received), my guess is their old battery supplier dumped them. But the most important thing: This unit will NOT significantly cool down an ultra hot albeit tiny enclosed area. Mid 90s F will maybe bring you down to 86 F, with the venting. Just look at the design. Not only is it only 1100 btu’s, the vents on the side still pour heat into your cooling area. The rear vent and tubing is an escape for moisture, but heat from the side of the unit still vents inside! If you could stick this thing in a window, like a regular window AC, with only one inch protruding into the interior, THEN it might work in serious conditions. But now? At its ridiculous price and dismal low power? You gotta be nuts to buy it.

[@solen1849]

This is a really long video, can it be ran off a car charger? Or be plugged in ?

[@cristinadelossantos8445]

I left a link of the 10 minutes video Zero Breeze asked us to proof the unit does not cool any room, we tested it in our Honda Fit taht's is really small and even has insulation on the windows as we use it for camping off grid, it was a cloudy afternoon, the temperature never went down, on the contrary, it went up a grade, they don't want to answer our emails, the unit doesn't cool and it leakes.

[@tklee1211]

GZY18, Chiness window/ portable air conditioner that draws 360 watts, 2800 btu, size of mini microwave, and it only costs $ 160 usd. I wish I could buy this ac in the state.

[@clydealspaugh8701]

I agree about the fluff features. Do one thing and do it well. I'm buying an air conditioner, not a Swiss Army Knife. If I need a flashlight, I don't want a 12 pound one. The speaker? Useless! If I want bluetooth speakers to take camping, I'll go buy quality bluetooth speakers. Those items only add cost and bulk to the unit and add to battery drain. (OK, just a little battery drain, but it is still a drain.) Perhaps these fluff features appeal to some people who play at camping but go back to their city apartment when the sun goes down, but I don't think others will find them inviting. My test? If the air conditioning part of the unit stopped working, would I still take it camping to use the other features of the unit? In this case, definitely not!

[@juanderful791]

I gave you a thumbs up because you and the comments below convinced me not to buy it.

[@cameronramos9846]

I was waiting on the air review if it cools or not this was not a full review. If im buying this is because i need a portable air conditioner not for the light or the speaker.

[@ctuan13]

My apologies, but this was a review video and didn't include a temperature test. Check out my outdoor temperature test video here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHjQdJaiq9qFmNk and my indoor temperature test video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mppHmXbbyUbac

[@geomatrix5452]

First of all with the overheating issue of the AC power adapter... It's not heavy duty enough to handle the power load draw from the Zero Breeze. First need is to find the info on how many watts/amps the Zero Breeze draws. Then get an AC to DC power supply that can handle the power draw keeping in mind what voltage the unit actually operates on, 12, 24 ?? volts. Pulling too much power through an underrated power supply could be a fire issue.

[@DonnieDarko1]

Hey Geo, So what is the wattage on this?

[@DonnieDarko1]

@CUBAvtv 82 Save your money, don't get this. Do a bit more online research, it's very very sketchy and of course, you can see others leaving comments realizing similar concerns. If you're worried about running this on a standard 2k generator, not only will it be a waste of efficiency, you'd lose the benefit of the purchase and you'd also lose comparative advantage with other affordable option already on the market. Honestly, you're still just better off getting a regular smallest watt window AC unit and install those cheapo capacitors on it to help the AC get an extra boost whenever it surges to start the condenser. Without that capacitor, your generator won't be able to keep the AC going or even start on load.

[@mjones9639]

Thanks, well done. Your gripes are right on. My take on the speaker, .. get rid of it. It's an air conditioner, it makes some noise already, and now you're going add a speaker to it? Use the speaker space to make the light adjustable

[@thedoble]

Hi mate, could you please measure the height of the unit without the battery attached? Specs show 11" but that is with the battery in the picture. Thanks!

[@tlatty778]

Will this be good for a small room

[@alexadjekum1543]

I honestly won’t buy something like this to listen music, I’m just interested in the AC

[@brotha1984]

I will wait until they work out the bugs before I purchase

[@Jimuari]

what about an attachment to get rid of hot air from inside a car through a thin attachment for the window?

[@engineclinic]

An inverter generator isn't necessarily a true sign nor is it guaranteed to be 66hz. Check the frequency coming out of your generator.

[@mshehzadalvi4807]

They can work on 15 feet by 12 feet room please guide me

[@johndeluna774]

Sounds like the unit cutting out was due to not enough generator power to push the unit. How many watts does it draw?

[@ctuan13]

Definitely wasnt due to too much draw. The Zero Breeze draws about 150 watts, even when surging, only around 200. The generator puts out 1600 running watts and is capable of a 2000W surge. My guess? The adapter is hyper sensitive to voltage sag and as soon as the voltage dipped even slightly from startup load, the adapter cut off.

[@johndeluna774]

@@ctuan13 Sine might solve that...

[@ctuan13]

@@johndeluna774 Its a pure sine wave inverter generator, so modified sine wave is not the problem unfortunately.

[@johndeluna774]

This problem with cutting out on a generator is significant, so the unit could be faulty. I would write the company and disclose the malfunction. They should send you a new one or power pack

[@JimmyBlimps]

Really curious whether this could make a small car nice and cold on a 40c day in the sun.

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Jimmy Blimps - company says 50 to maybe a 100 sq ft which is a larger volume than most passenger vehicles

[@ctuan13]

I would say that depends largely on the vehicle size and what you consider nice and cold. But provided you have a good way of exhausting the hot air that also has a decent air seal, it should do the job.

[@JimmyBlimps]

ctuan13 18-20c, could exhaust out a window and seal up the gap I guess.

[@darrell3980]

Yea im thinking about using this for a day camper van. The back of the van is probably less than 100 sq ft. and i could exhaust with the attachment out the front window.

[@darrell3980]

steve wiggam Everyone doesnt have that much space as a luxury. So I think this would be great. it's small and compact. Well worth the price if it does what it states. I would love to see more videos on testing real world.

[@charliae7155]

Just how much dripping does the unit produce? I want to use it in my tiny kitchen which has windows less than 12" wide so no window AC is possible. Have you received their new model 2?

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Another well done review. I have been waiting for this follow up to your unboxing Zero Breeze. Based on your two reviews, i am now going to move forward with the purchase of my own Zero Breeze. i have similar ways i plan to use this mini-air condition. You are providing a huge service to others like me considering the purchase of this product. You are also benefiting the manufacture as a third party unbias (as much as any can be) opinion of the good and not so good. I proactively shared your video with Zero Breeze company. Hopeful they follow up with you :)

[@miltonmiller5407]

Great review feller, but mine would only cool the space about the size of a closet

[@cyclotechtwister1997]

Sorry not for that price. $600 way too much. May be $120 or so but $599 nope not this guy...

[@panthapraetorian3974]

I agree completely.

[@alexadjekum1543]

Over priced

[@Fanzindel]

Good luck finding anything cheaper.

[@DanafoxyVixen]

@@Fanzindel A regular portable generator and a portable AC unit can be had for almost half this price. If you cant find anything else your not looking hard enough.

[@Fanzindel]

Dana Vixen the idea here is not to have to use a generator. But please feel free to share links to a generator and AC together for under $300. New, no used CL crap. Go ahead.

[@jonathanlau1221]

Have you tried running the unit using the battery as a pass-through, with the AC adapter plugged into the battery instead of the unit itself? Would the electronics in the battery pack allow it? What I'm thinking is, by doing so, the adapter only has to work as hard as the battery circuitry's maximum charging current allows. The unit draws power off the battery while the adapter keeps the battery charging. While it may not be good for the cells, it may be a possible workaround for the overheating issues on a really hot day.

[@ctuan13]

Jonathan Lau unfortunately this does not work and the internal breaker in the AC adapter still trips.

[@jonathanlau1221]

That's a shame. It would have been a really good product otherwise. Thanks for trying and letting us know!

[@ctuan13]

Jonathan Lau Well I still think it's a great product, it just has some major development growing pains. Hopefully, Zero Breeze updates the AC adapter design in the future!

[@HerbZilla]

will this work if I dont have a window or exit in the building to exhaust the hot air?

[@davidechegoyen2318]

Can you tell me how long the exhaust hose is? I am literally about 30 feet from a window, so the hose has to be that long. Also, with many portable air conditioners, the hoses are made of thin plastic that let heat escape back into the room, ultimately making the room hotter than before the units are even turned on. Is this hose thick or insulated to not let that happen, and can you buy extensions for the hose if it is not long enough?

[@ctuan13]

Well first to address your complaint on the thickness of the material in most hoses, it needs to be thin to allow it to fold, otherwise it would be stiff and very difficult to re-size on the fly for moving a unit around. The hose of the Zero Breeze is on par with the standard thickness of most portable air conditioner hoses. The hose included in the box is 3 feet and unfortunately Zero Breeze doesn't recommend lengthening it much more than that. This is because the condenser fan can only be so powerful in such a small package and too long of a hose would prevent the system from effectively moving the air all the way out. Other than moving closer to the window, or placing the Zero Breeze near the window and letting it cool the whole room, I'm not sure it's the right choice for you. Have you considered just a simple but effective window AC unit?

[@davidechegoyen2318]

ctuan13 Thanks for answering my question. My window is too small for an ac unit, also my window opens sideways, not up and down, making it even more difficult to fit any type of AC unit in it. I guess I’ll have just o do with an Arctic air or some similar small evaporative cooler, but the reviews for these types of units have not been good, which is why I was researching the Zero Breeze. I guess I’m out of luck. Surely SOMEBODY must sell a portable air conditioner with a hose that doesn’t let heat bleed back into the room.

[@ctuan13]

David Echegoyen Ahh I see, that is a tough situation. Well you can get portable air conditioners with sideways vents and you could always wrap the outlet hose with insulation to avoid heat bleed.

[@Blakehx]

You can find portable air conditioners (check online or Amazon) but most suffer from the same hose issues! From what I hear, by far the best ones are the kind with 2 hoses that both run to a vent in the window!

[@davidechegoyen2318]

Blakehx Thanks! I read about those dual hose air conditioners myself. They’re really too expensive for me at present, but in future I plan to buy one.

[@LuisRodriguez-xf9lv]

very well explained review i`m been waiting years to find something like this. on 12 volt you can use a deep cicle battery on the trunk or a small battery bank to spend a night. in 12 volt there are many ways to run the unit. I was also imagin a unit with two exaust. one for the hot out an other to cool the condenser with outside air. that will increase the efficient cooling separating every air flow from the cold air. any way this is a very interesting product i like to have one. thanks for this good review.

[@arpakyna]

you can run this during night, but you wont get any sleep because it makes worse noise than a vacuum cleaner. Oh, and It also doesn't cool.

[@Hegstuffing]

Nicely done!

[@passin.timeintx8571]

Good review. Do they also offer a purchasable exhaust hose extension?

[@ctuan13]

Well given the diameter of the outlet hose and limited power of the condenser fan, from what I understand, Zero Breeze doesn't recommend extending the hose much more than a couple feet past it's factory length.

[@SucculentSoul7]

Where did u buy it for the price you paid on eBay?

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

Tried to contact the company about issues with product and no response....

[@williamdawson8905]

Not to mention the fact if it's Bluetooth you're probably running it off your phone which already has a better speaker so what's the point

[@avocado3748]

Hey thanks for the detail and time you took to review it. - it’s something I’m considering for my van build out. I happen to catch the temperature review from someone else’s video - they indicated it cooled it down by 10 degrees. Did you have the same findings?

[@MrTarmonbarry]

10 degrees after about 1 hour , so you then have about 45 minutes left . useless piece of junk

[@bbbb-ii9kn]

Bungee cords work just fine to hold it the battery to it

[@ctuan13]

bb bb Well they could if you could get a strong enough one tight enough to hold the battery firmly in place, but if the air conditioner battery connection so much as shifts slightly from being picked up, the Zero Breeze powers off completely. Check out the solution I came to in my battery fix video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJauqKGbZqhkqas

[@nobodystalkin1]

You don’t want to move the unit with the compressor running, it causes premature valve failure. Perhaps this is one reason why they didn’t make it attach. If you truly want it to attach, one or two long Velcro straps to wrap around the unit.

[@ctuan13]

Well of course, but even if you just want to carry the Zero Breeze and battery together to another location, that is now impossible to do with one hand. Not a good implementation in my opinion. The battery is too heavy for velcro, I found a hold down strap works better. Check out my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJauqKGbZqhkqas

[@K9_NINA]

This was $200 cheaper just a few weeks ago- so many people,have not received and many defective units have not been fixed with this company. I have watched this for over six months and can’t pull the trigger until I see more positive reviews. Do you think this would cool down a very very small bedroom?.. also, if the room gets up to 95 degrees, would it burn itself out and stop turning on?I Have you seen the coolala and if so, any thoughts?

[@rogermendez7266]

K9doglover me to.

[@rogermendez7266]

Let's wait until a 2.0 comes out to get the item upgraded

[@ctuan13]

Yeah Zero Breeze is a small company that seems to have overestimated it's ability to deliver on its promises, that's for sure. I have seen the coolala and though I think they may serve slightly different use cases, give the Zero Breeze's more compact size and battery modularity, it's a very compelling product at the price, if size and weight aren't as critical of a factor, over cooling capacity. But given that the coolala is almost the size and weight of a window AC unit, you've gotta ask yourself what's worth it. Hope this helps! And if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely review the Coolala!

[@yourbandsux]

At the end comment about it being a kickstarter item. they did have you a whole different concept on its features and how it was suppose to look. Plus I heard it took them like 1 or 2 years to get to its backer. Plus too on those few problems that with small tweaks the original design would have been those small tweaks but they got lazy it seem since they where already late on the item. Like the routing of the exhaust heat and the drainage water issue along with that battery connection problem. But I’m just memory from a backer video on this item who was waiting a year for it and was worried on the differ design without explanation.

[@MrPoseidonSays]

Best zero breeze review. Nice job!

[@robertcromwell9736]

What does it do with the heat? All AC's put out more heat than cold. There is the heat transferred that is exhausted plus heat generated by compressor and fan motors. Heat out one end and cool out the other? that is a no gain situation. So like a fan cooler out in the open maybe ok but it will not cool a closed room.

[@ctuan13]

Robert Cromwell I've answered this question probably over a dozen times lol, there is an exhaust hose, I show in the video. This is used to exhaust hot air when using it indoors. Extend the end outside and you're good to go. Obviously because I was testing the unit, I didn't hook it up, but if I was going to use it for an extended period of time, I'd extend the end of the hose out of a window. I hope that eases your concerns, the zero breeze really is pretty neat! Consider checking out my review video!

[@blakepurdy6503]

Great review, just one thing; if the instructions were extremely difficult to follow in connecting your cell phone, Tell us how you got it to work! lol!

[@Fanzindel]

Aviators Inc. hint: google 😉

[@SirtubalotTX]

Curious, is it feasible to put the power adapter in front of cool air vent while it's operating..to mitigate the adapter heat? Edit to add: It appears that they didn't consider continuous duty cycle with that power supply..

[@ctuan13]

SirtubalotTX That's a good idea, but that is something I have tried and it doesn't seem to help.

[@SirtubalotTX]

ctuan13 Interesting. Have you tried a different power supply with same spec?

[@ctuan13]

SirtubalotTX No I haven't, but I plan on it. I suspect that's my main issue, the power supply just can't get enough cooling inside the sealed case.

[@SirtubalotTX]

Ok, post when you do and thanks for the response. Was thinking about grabbing one of these.

[@wyldanimal2]

You Didn't say if you Bought yours out of your pocket, or if it was sent to you free of charge for review. Since you mention you bring a Generator, wouldn't an Upright AC unit be more economical? I mean, 1100 for the unit, plus 500 for the battery is ridiculous.

[@ctuan13]

My apologies, I state it clearly in my unboxing video, but yes I bought this out of pocket on ebay. I bring a generator for running a fridge, so theres not much space or weight left for a full sized AC. But yes in instances where I wasnt bringing a fridge or the many times where I forgo my generator all together, it is a great asset.

[@Pointymarsh]

I'm in love with the concept, but for about $300 I can buy a small window ac and a very small quiet generator and get more cold air, for less moeny. This thing is an awesome concept, but the price point will keep it from being interesting to most folks. If they can get the price point down around $250 or so they'd sell like nobody's business. At $400, I'll just keep sweating...and these are much more expensive than that. It would also be far more interesting if they used a very commonly available 'tool' battery, like a 20V DeWalt, rather than some obscure proprietary battery. I like the idea, but the price point is a total deal breaker.

[@lizd3529]

Great review-you exude a natural expertise.

[@williamdawson8905]

all of your negative points have a lot of great merit to it but again I still can't figure out or find out where and how much this thing cost they seem to be hiding that to the extreme there's usually a reason for that

What's average price for these?

[@JediWigSplitta]

How fast does it cool a room with compressor on

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Good question - i am sure Zero Breeze would ask room dimensions and beginning ambient tempto provide an accurate answer.

This really depends on room size, starting temperature, exhaust solution and insulation.

[@thomassodomizer764]

Good concept but wait till the price comes down. No way its worth it at this price.

[@royalmason1539]

The reason you would use it in a dead quiet room Ior tent) is you're trying to sleep at night. 55db us too loud for that.

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

Awesome review, thank you!

[@wizardwithsmg]

AC inverters can cause power supplies like the power brick to run hotter than normal, probably why you're getting overheating. Pretty sure it doesn't matter that your inverter is pure sine.

[@ctuan13]

Peter Cursio Well considering utility power is pure sine wave I doubt that. Excess heat is generally generated by harmonic distortion or deviation from pure sine wave. In addition, it overheated on utility power as well so unfortunately I don't think that's it, I just think it's too much power with too little coolig ability.

[@The1980toyota]

Great review! I have been watching this product for some time. Still have some unanswered questions. I have a remote cabin running on solar and wind. Power consumption is important. How many watts does it use on startup and when running? This will dictate if my inverter or generator is big enough. My favourite generator is a Honda 350 watt, I hope it can run the zero breeze. Thank you.

[@ctuan13]

You can go to zerobreeze.com and check out all the specs. But for a short answer the max draw of the power adapter is about 150 watts. Once the compressor is running, I think you're looking at about 100 watts or less of current draw, depending on what else is on (light or speaker).

[@The1980toyota]

ctuan13 thanks!!!

[@chapbloom7807]

He said the battery is rated @ 40 ah hours or 480watt hours that divided by 5 hours equation 100 to 150 watts into 480 equals 3.2 to 4.8 hours of operation on power A good power supply can set you back 100+$ a premium 200+$ for that kind of money one should consider a solar set up with a battery Power draw on a solar/battery set up, 10 to 12.5 amps hour depending on operating temperature you can expect higher use above 85°F, (reason for power supply overheating if it where to be used continuously it needs a better ac power supply that it comes with. continuous use power supply. to avoid damage from low voltage.

[@brentmcfarland7908]

Why didn't you just put the power adapter in front of the a/c unit to keep it cool at all times?

[@ctuan13]

Brent McFarland Well 1. That shouldn't be required. An air conditioning product should not need to have some of it's output warmed up, just to keep its power supply cool. 2. Even so, I did try that and it made no difference. The sealed case of the power adapter just can't cool itself enough and gets hot too quickly.

Great review!

[@raymondj8768]

i think the speaker is just for like the kids in the tent at night shit like that more of a gimmic bro. and with the drain thing its got a dryer and condenser thay are coverd in moisture they will drain a few drops after u shut it down but just a few drops ya cant be to critical its amazing thay did as much as the did for that size ! just wish they could make it a bit cheaper !!

[@ctuan13]

Well that's why my critique of the need to tip it to drain excess water on shutdown wasn't that big. Of course an air conditioner evaporator will form condensation. But my issue initially was the leak on the seal of the evaporator drain port. But that was a simple fix and hopefully will be fixed from the factory in the future with improved QC. But yes, it truly is an amazing product given it's size. However, it's these amazing engineering challenges fitting all of it into this size that probably lead to its increased price.

[@zfoxfire]

If they offer one without the speaker and lights, I'm gonna buy. I hate bling and I want something practical for a camper van.

[@keithm6324]

Appreciate your videos. Well done, informative. Keep up the great work.

[@DivergentDroid]

You mention - Why would you use an air conditioner that exhaust air back into the room, speaking of it being in the middle of the room. - You Can't or should't, you'll defeat your purpose of conditioning the air and make it less efficient. The vent pipe Must always be hooked up and vent the hot air outside of the room or car etc you are trying to cool. That's why the hose is so long, it Must be used always . You Cannot use this model outside in the open air. Oh it may work some but you'll overwork the unit and kill it much faster. It's the reason window units don't sit in the middle of the room.

[@ctuan13]

Divergent Droid 1. Yes, in my unboxing video, I was operating the Zero Breeze in a room without exhausting the hot air outside. This was simply a demonstration. Whenever I use it indoors, I always exhaust the hot air out of the room I'm trying to cool, using the exhaust hose. 2. While it may make a the compressor work a bit harder, the Zero Breeze is literally marketed as the air condition you can take with you to make the outdoors bearable again, so I seriously doubt that it will fail from outdoor use. If it does, then I can say Zero Breeze has definitely engaged in false marketing.

[@BabluKhan-lw6zp]

[@mwilliamshs]

Just the fact that a generator is an inverter generator doesn't mean its output has a clean true sine waveform. Just because your laptop and phone work on it doesn't mean anything either since they have batteries to act as a buffer. Did you try the ac with its battery and the generator? I suspect your power supply overheating would be eliminated by that.

[@ctuan13]

Pass through usage unfortunately doesn't function with the Zero Breeze. As for my generator, I've verified it with a meter, you can actually check out my review on my channel. It is very clean output.

[@mwilliamshs]

ctuan13 I watched it. A kill-a-watt meter doesn't indicate waveform, which is the only evaluation of "clean" power.

[@ctuan13]

mwilliamshs Yeah, I guess you're right. I didn't see any voltage deviation or frequency change, but I guess I'd need a spectrum analyzer to see the output waveform. But considering the AC adapter experiences the same overheating when connected to utility power, I doubt my generator is the issue.

[@mwilliamshs]

ctuan13 voltage deviation or frequency change would only need to be finer than the resolution of the killawatt meter to go undetected. That meter's what, $20 @ Harbor Freight? If you want to know what's really going on, you need an oscilloscope. If the AC adapter is overheating, that's bad, no matter the power source. Why not lay the cord so that the brick is in the cool stream of air?

[@ctuan13]

mwilliamshs I hear ya, man. I gotcha. Gonna need a scope to really know. Point is however, this occurred even with utility power. And even in front of the output, it still overheats. Besides the fact that this is difficult to accomplish with the Zero Breeze on a table and also get any cold air to also effectively blow at your face, it also should not be necessary. This is clearly either an internal breaker fault or a simple design flaw without enough heat dissipation. I mean having an potable air conditioner with a power supply that can't handle temperatures over 70 degrees, does that sound reasonable to you?

[@timmy2310]

You’re lucky to get anything off KickStarter. 90% are scams. Consider yourself lucky.

[@mikeswildoutdoors7279]

Solution not very good but would work, contact the manufacturer and try to purchase 1 or 2 extra power bricks, take the hot one off put on the cool one allowing the first to cool down.

[@chuckwalters4759]

You can try cooling the AC box by putting it In front of the zero breeze. You're welcome. ;)

[@joshhayl7459]

What is an "AC box?". I didn't see anything described by that term in the video.

Great Review... Ty brother

[@brianswanland5466]

A product review of an air conditioner and not one word on how well it cools! Give me a break!

[@ctuan13]

This was a review of the features and design flaws. Heres a link to my indoor thermal test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mppHmXbbyUbac

[@braunthorne]

Good review bud.

[@homeodfree9200]

Thank you for the time taken to review the product. However I feel that your review focus only on mechanical issues with the appliance which is good information to have, however there was no real review as to its efficiency to cool down, like square area where is best used, open or closed doors or other environments like a tent for example would like to know if appliance would be great for a mid summer camping trip, should I expect to feel comfort in a tent under hot night humid conditions, things like that.

[@ctuan13]

Considering I was able to stay cool out in the open in 89 degree weather, and feel the cooled and dehumidified air, I have no doubts that in a small enclosed space like a tent, you would feel very cool and the dehumidifying effect would be further amplified. I can try to do a future video testing the cooling capabilities in a tent, but as I do not personally own a camping tent, I'll have to source one for the video. Thanks for watching!

[@freedomairconditioner6152]

This is great for a tent. With the exhaust hose installed, the occupants, laying down on the floor, will probably be cooled a lot. Someone should do a comparison of two tents (we're not talking high finance), one with the Zero Breeze cooling it, and one without, on a hot night. The bottom section (one foot in height) of a small tent would be cooled nicely by only 1,000 BTU's.

[@ctuan13]

Freedom Air Conditioner Well I will consider that test idea for a future video!

[@freedomairconditioner6152]

I just thought of a cheaper test, that Zero Breeze could use possibly in their advertising. Have 2 bedrooms in a hot, unairconditioned house. In one room, set up the Zero Breeze. Put in on the window sill, with the cold air actually blowing downward, in an attempt to cool only the bottom 1 foot in height portion of the room, since putting it straight ahead or upward would cause the cool air to essentially disappear. The exhaust hose would be directed out the window, and the window sealed (basically) around the hose. Run it all day, and by maybe 9 p.m., see what the temperature is at the floor level. On hot nights in places where electricity is at a premium (like in India), the people could sleep on air mattresses or mats, on the floor in that room. If it was 75 and dry on the floor level in that room, it might be 95 and humid in the other room. That is a health benefit for anyone sick, and much better sleep for anyone who is healthy. No fans (like ceiling fans) should be used to stir/mix up the air in the room. There is only enough cold air to cool the bottom of the room. The cold air needs to stay stratified at the floor level.

[@thomashardin911]

OK, knock it off of the ads please, it causes the video player to freeze up often...

[@dans9463]

The sky. He asked, What's up

[@nezerac]

This seems like something cheap for a high price.1000 bucks can go toward a battery bank and solar panels. They'd probably be better too.

[@excitedbox5705]

You can buy a used car with a real AC for $1000 :)

[@CenobiteBeldar]

I wonder if the power AC would overheat if you placed it front of the ZeroBreeze's vents.

[@jalalkelany5117]

Thanks. It is good review.

[@cool2180]

*I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THE REASON THAT THE A/C ADAPTER WAS OVERHEATING IS BECAUSE YOUR GENERATOR WAS NOT OUTPUTING A PURE SINE WAVE. ELECTRONICS CAN HANDLE A MODIFIED SINE WAVES BUT THAT A/C HAS A REAL MOTOR AND MOTORS DONT LIKE SQUARE SINE WAVES. SOME HOW YOUR GENERATOR/INVERTOR WAS OUTPUTTING A MODIFIED SINE WAVE. YOU SHOULD TRY A DIFFERENT INVERTER RATED FOR THAT A/C THAT IS A PURE SINE.* *TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS* kzbin.info/www/bejne/eavQl6aLZZukhJo

[@waynecameron3343]

Hope it does the job gonna get 1

[@TheMaster5150]

Who wants a speaker on an AC anyway...it just adds more cost to the product.

[@twipimprovingpropertiesand337]

I guess I better wait for the second generation

[@williamdawson8905]

I would just go buy a $3 roll of velcro strap and strap that battery right to it running it through the handle but I guess they did that because they're big selling point is having a girl carry it through the woods lightweight only problem is you got to carry two components

[@robertpolkamp]

I smell a fish ...

[@williamdawson8905]

And maybe a little hook to put the AC hanging in front of them air conditioner to keep it cool I'd rather have a I would have rather had an auxiliary cord to plug into your AC adapter in your car than that stupid speaker and you're right most of the cheapest phones sold have a better speaker than that

[@jthonn]

IMO and I mean no disrespect, but your review on the construction was good but we want a review on how well it works. I could care less about the speaker and such. I will go as far to say that this video was boring and worthless.

[@ctuan13]

jthonn Hey man, I understand and I've got a temp test video coming. But I got many questions asking before, about built quality, and I thought that explaining the issue with the adapter was important for potential buyers to know.

[@barbied.5932]

jthonn Then YOU make one that’s not boring! Jerk

[@SiNKarnage]

Barbie D. How's he a jerk when he meant no disrespect? You're the only jerk here

[@jthonn]

Sorry dude, didn't mean to come off so harsh. So many of these gadgets turn out to be junk. I wish you luck on your vids. Barbie, 2 words

[@brettduffy1992]

1100 BTUs you need at least 5000 to cool 120 square foot

[@Fanzindel]

brettduffy19992 then buy a 5000 btu unit ˇ\_(ツ)_/ˇ

[@Altaf0308]

💛💛

[@joshhayl7459]

🔴 At the price of this device you would expect the company to spend the Penny's that are necessary to use high-quality silicone-jack-covers with low-profile pinch-grabs. They're stock-Items in electronics-supply catalogs. Ya can buy 'em by th' CRATE-FULL!!.......CHEAP! But perhaps not AS cheaply as the ones that THEY'RE using. Understand please that I haven't actually seen the material, it may be of high-quality but just badly matched to the application (wrong-cover!).

[@TexasScout]

This thing is like a Swiss Army Knife, lots of cool stuff, NONE of it really works. Also, the charge port on the battery, you can get threaded covers for that plug at most any Amateur Radio web site. What is the output voltage/amps of the power supply.

[@ctuan13]

TexasScout Noneofyourbusiness The accidental adapter has a rating of 12.5 amps or about 150 watts at 12V.

[@TexasScout]

No wonder the Power Supply got hot....

[@sausagefingers714]

that power brick is just a plain battery charger.. no way it can correctly power a compressor.

[@sambomyatt856]

No it doesn’t !!!! Bought one a few weeks ago for my car until I got my air fixed in it. That thing is a joke , I even added ice to it. Nothing. Took it back the next day. Don’t waste ur money !!!!

[@williamdawson8905]

My bad $600 yeah right I bet they're flying out the door at that price I'd Rather Make out swamp cooler out of fountain pump.$600 I'd rather stay at the Hilton

[@danamcwhite]

It’s 1000$

[@ctuan13]

Dana McWhite *$600. Go to zerobreeze.com to see the most up to date pricing.

[@andresetc]

Dude !! $999 on Amazon .. ? WHAT 'DA FRAK ???

[@ctuan13]

Andres Etchenique Or, you know, go to the link in the description zerobreeze.com and buy it direct from Zero Breeze for $599.

[@michaelwoolford4111]

Its $999 on the website too

[@sportshot2789]

Not a full review just partial no output temperatures listed. Click bait

[@ctuan13]

My apologies man, this was a review of all the features and issues I encountered. To see the cooling performance, check out my indoor temperature test here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mppHmXbbyUbac

[@shelshock1874]

ZERO BREEZE IS A SCAM!!! Trusted leaving my dog in the car with it and thank GOD she didn't DIEEEE. Cools a 50 sq ft room to 45 degrees?? MY A$$. DO NOT BUY.
