Hey guys, i purchased this thing to cool my Ram 1500 crew cab and Ford e250 van when on the job and vehicle not running. Well, i tested it one afternoon with the ram truck under a tree for shade with 92 degrees outside temperature and very humid. I paid $1500 for the ac unit, extended battery, which didn't ship with the unit, and the alternator charger, which i didn't hook up. I ran this thing for 2 to 3 hours, and I'm highly disappointed. In that time, it didn't cool the cab like the truck ac whe the truck was running. It did give me a 20-degree air temperature split, but the air was only around 65 degrees cold, not enough to cool the cabin after 2hrs. It was powered by a Bluetti AC 200 and pulled between 400 and 550 watts the entire time. So the crew cab is only about 6x5ft. Hopefully, this is enough information for you to make an informed decision
You must have talk about the two sleeves... the intake sleeve and the exhaust sleeve. All potable air conditioner must have the two sleeves for eficiency
They finally figured out to put both an intake and exhaust for the condenser. At least here in Australia, dual hose air conditioners are uncommon because of a stupid regulation that excluded dual hose ACs (idk if it was intentional or not). I modified a cheap portable ac so it has 2 hoses and it works way better as its not creating negative pressure in the room, sucking in hot air from outside (thats what the hose is for)
Not sure how you've directed those nozzles out of the window bud. But separating them as much as possible is the way forward. At the very least have the input low pointing down and out high pointing up when running as ac.
It's nice and on a huge discount during Prime days for the next four hours but it's a 5,000 BTU air conditioner/heat pump for four to five times the cost of a 10,000 BTU portable air conditioner so it's value is the low power usage, the optional battery packs, the optional solar panels and being small enough to carry in the trunk of your car and lifted by one person. You certainly don't want to hike with this though theoretically you could. Maybe something if you're a van living pretend nomad or a prepper.
@@ToolsElectroDIY hmm can you build me one? Also serious question if I were to lose power in a hurricane in hot temps would this unit at least cool 1 room in house until power comes back on or would you recommend a split AC unit and run off solar generator? Thanks so much!
Can I ask what materials you used for this window piece please? And what do you think on my other question? Thank you my friend hope you are staying cool 😎. I would definitely pay you to build one or two for my windows lmk if you are interested
@@Raven4111It would probably cool a closet if you setup a lawn chair and a small folding tableinside and vented the heat outside the closet. One of those kinda that folds down into a bed so you can use it as a cot at night. I doubt it would come close to making a full room cool on a hot day.
Well I know for traditional portable AC units that connect to a window only require one exhaust tube. They intake from the cooled room making that air cooler while exhausting the heat.
So sucking the hot air from outside making the condenser work harder is more efficient huh? Instead of the cooled room air? Which usually gives you another filter point for the room? 😂😂
single hose units suck air out of the room and the suck in new hot humid air. The result can be low efficiency, and also they can make other rooms in the building more hot and humid even while they are cooling the room they are in. Dual hose units solve this problem. It doesn’t sound like it makes sense, I know. But ironically two hose systems are superior.
@@GMC-qo9xi I have purchased everything ECOFLOW. Either your rich or your state or federal will rebate you in part. The reason people purchase these expensive machines is for emergency. I live in hurricane country. 20 years ago we were without electricity for 6 weeks. Wasn't a problem. I grew up without electricity. 3 years ago it was a couple of weeks. We had 3 generators. All failed. In the last twenty years we've built up our business and there's a lot more to loose.
@@ToolsElectroDIY not what I meant. Traditional AC usually recirculating air within the interior. Which is why I asked if the intake should be on the inside. How does this one work?
@@coldsoul333 it does recirculate air in the room the evaporator intake(cooling) is the vents on the lower front of the unit and the 2 tubes going outside are to cool the condenser(hot side)
why would you pull in hot air and then cool it? Why wouldn't you pull in the cool air from the room to recirculate it, so the AC doesn't have to work so hard? It will cool faster if you had that intake unconnected.
"when camping" I'll be using this for camping alright 😂. How much do you think you'll be selling them for? I can see a lot of people buying it over the ac infinity terraform 7. They want $800 just for you to save ports on your controller 69 pro. I don't mind using this with a controller adapter if I can afford it.
why have the intake outside sucking in constant hot air instead of sucking in progressively cooler air from the room making it more and more efficient as the time goes on.
@@ToolsElectroDIY your reply had nothing to do with what I wrote. I have one of these and it works perfectly in my small caravan, 46 degrees outside and very cool inside, you need to ditch that intake tube and suck the cooling air into the machine to help it cool more efficiently, you’ll see so many morons having the intake and hot exhaust next to each other out the window so the intake is sucking in extremely hot air, thus little air con simply won’t work when doing that but stupid Americans will keep doing it because they can’t think for themselves.
Eco mode runs compressor for 20 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. If I remember correctly, Once the initial spike it does every time it starts the compressor and comes down in wattage, I think you are in the 200-300 range.
Someone on "CheapRVliving" wrote: I installed a walmart Keystone energy star 5,000 btu window ac in my van and it works great from my Bluetti AC200P and 720 watts of solar.

Yeah, but this is a very niche product. In a home, u may as well get a dual hose portable ac unit if you are renting. the only use case for these ultra portable units, is to use in a small office, car, camping, or in a closet sized room with a window.
@@shardulsatrange I think he is an A.I. , you will only get yes, no , and ok from it. And I agree it’s fukin stupi* to put the hot exhaust next to the intake.
Lately they are including the ‘car kit’ for free with it. Notice ‘car’ as in one window being used for exhaust and intake… You can easily make your own divider for the exterior to separate the two streams… (make it fancy if you think it will help, like a triangular piece of sheet metal, with curves for each side of course to decrease resistance, etc… lol)
You can convert your portable airco by placing an cardbordbox with an 150 MM tube adjusted on it and place it on the bottom where the airco sucks the air in. Move the 150 mm tube to outside and it sucks the inlet air from outside, this airco in he video is basicly that same principle. I use this trick on my portable 7000 Btu portable airco for 5 summers and it works like a charm.
@@ZxAMobileYour house doesn’t have an inlet for “fresh” air, nor should your tent. There is enough air exchange in a house and tent that its not necessary.
Yeah. I mean if your use case was to use indoors in a house or apartment, ur prob gonna buy a dual hose portable ac. This is more meant for camping, and cooling your nearby area if you don't have the space.
This seems to be more of a design flaw than a defect. Some reviewers I've watched all said the same thing, it reports the temperature as lower than it really is so it turns off too soon. They all had to set the temp target lower as a workaround.
But i could bring my 6000 btu window shaker that pull 327 watts for a price of $149.00, cut a hole in the side of the tent secure and seal with Velcro, i could run this off my Ecoflo, what else could I buy with the $1500.00 savings??? How many recharges can the batteries take?? I used to own a HVAC company that works with solar. Im not trying to be difficult, its just the cost verses ROI.
You need intake the outside air to cool down the condenser radiator my friend... you know right? So you don't waste cool air to cool down the condenser because that would be very ineficient... Study the principles of air conditioners...
@@averagestudent4358he didn’t explain what it’s for… it’s not for your house… you can buy a battery and solar panels and use the EF power stations with it (powering it by DC).
OK it seems 99% of the comments don't know how ac units work it is not in taking air from the outside to cool the room the 2 hoses going out the window NEVER mix with the room air, they only transfer heat to the outside.
hmmm, 300 watts of cooling power seems like a drop in the bucket trying to cool a tent. This is more suitable for under the blanket cooling. The human body produces about 100 watts of heat already. Plus, it also needs to cool down the area in the tent, so it's like an uphill battle with a tiny device.
@@ToolsElectroDIY On average, the human body produces 100w of heat. It produces over 300w of it during high activities like sports....... If you're confused about using watts, then you can convert it to Joules. The units are different but they're all measures of energy.
A person emits heat energy in various amounts depending on their activity level. Here are some approximate values: - Relaxing (sitting or lying down): - 100-150 watts (approximately 340-510 BTUs per hour) - Light activity (walking, light exercise): - 200-300 watts (approximately 680-1020 BTUs per hour) - Moderate activity (jogging, cycling, swimming): - 400-600 watts (approximately 1360-2040 BTUs per hour) - Intensive activity (high-intensity exercise): - 800-1200 watts (approximately 2720-4080 BTUs per hour) Keep in mind that these values are approximate and can vary depending on individual factors such as body size, age, and gender. Additionally, these values represent the total energy expenditure, not just the heat energy emitted. It's worth noting that the human body emits heat energy through various means, including: - Radiation (infrared heat) - Convection (heat transfer through air movement) - Evaporation (sweat evaporation) - Respiration (heat transfer through breathing) These values are useful in various applications, such as heating and cooling system design, and human thermal comfort analysis.
That's how all dual hose air conditioners do it, even though it's sub optimal. People buying them wouldn't want to put up with 20 foot hoses to run to another window for separation. Even at it is the two hoses is a mess taking up way too much space. Regular window units are much better; portable AC units using hoses are only for situations where there's no option for anything else.
A thermometer might be a good thing to try to acquire to enable more extensive data gathering. They're commonly used at many scientific research facilities to measure temperatures of air and objects under evaluation, and are fairly cost effective means to determine capabilities of heating and cooling devices. Well worth the investment; they're very useful for individuals interested in objective measurements in addition to opinions and hearsay.
For a house or shed, then yes. This is for portability. People use them in their camper van, or for camping in various situations and for very small spaces… and specifically can hook to an ecoflow power station and run off DC-which makes it more efficient… non EF power station will only connect to it by AC (alternating current). And this a/c can be connected to solar panels when equipped with the battery. (And it can be used inversely for heat.) So it’s a niche product, not going to suit those who could instead use a window unit.
People,you better be careful when you buy EcoFlow wave we bought without the battery and they say the will last with EcoFlow 7 hour well happen that only last 2 , it doesn’t cool inside my wife and I live off grid and put in our fithwhel and don’t work inside you have to put it outdoor since those pipe get supper hot .. my review for eco flow company is a worse advertising they lie in there page ..
Why is the device that is generating heat inside the building? That should be outside and one tube running in. That machine is cooling off the heat it is creating in the room. Heck, even a PC can heat up a room. Imagine what a heat pump would do.
The heat is being transferred to the exhaust air. It’s not perfectly efficient obviously but it’s a portable unit that should probably be protected from weather
@@Grunttamer either way, you dont want the intake outside. constantly cooling the humid and hot outside air is significantly less efficient than cycling the cooler air back through the machine as it cools the room.
@@mattdauphpresumably the design uses the outside air only to cool the condenser and then sends the heated air back out through the other hose, not into the room. That's the concept anyway, how well they actually keep the condenser and evaporator sections isolated is questionable.
@@dubmob151 lol, typo..its good your introducing this product but seems to me it can be better. such as being more compact and not taking up too much space. with all due respect its my thoughts, no heart feelings.
The problem the Ecoflo is, it’s very expensive and basically garbage everything I’ve ever bought from Eco Flo has broken after about a year and a half shitty company shitty products
@@ToolsElectroDIY for a portable tiny air conditioner? No. But that’s not a reason to buy it.. but for everything else they make solar generators battery back ups you’re better off with any other brand, and I also would never buy that over priced air conditioner. It will absolutely break within one or two years. No question about it. Everything this company makes is complete junk. And they have horrible customer service

The human body produces about 100 watts of heat already. Plus, it also needs to cool down the area in the tent, so it's like an uphill battle with a tiny device.
It works. 100w human heat doesn’t make sense.
@@ToolsElectroDIY
On average, the human body produces 100w of heat. It produces over 300w of it during high activities like sports.......
If you're confused about using watts, then you can convert it to Joules. The units are different but they're all measures of energy.
I've said before, this might keep you reasonably cool inside a closet. It won't cool a room on a hot day.
BTU is more representative of heat energy than a watt, so saying it in terms of BTU/hour would be more accurate.
1 BTU = 0.293 W
A person emits heat energy in various amounts depending on their activity level. Here are some approximate values:
- Relaxing (sitting or lying down):
- 100-150 watts (approximately 340-510 BTUs per hour)
- Light activity (walking, light exercise):
- 200-300 watts (approximately 680-1020 BTUs per hour)
- Moderate activity (jogging, cycling, swimming):
- 400-600 watts (approximately 1360-2040 BTUs per hour)
- Intensive activity (high-intensity exercise):
- 800-1200 watts (approximately 2720-4080 BTUs per hour)
Keep in mind that these values are approximate and can vary depending on individual factors such as body size, age, and gender. Additionally, these values represent the total energy expenditure, not just the heat energy emitted.
It's worth noting that the human body emits heat energy through various means, including:
- Radiation (infrared heat)
- Convection (heat transfer through air movement)
- Evaporation (sweat evaporation)
- Respiration (heat transfer through breathing)
These values are useful in various applications, such as heating and cooling system design, and human thermal comfort analysis.
That thing is😊 expensive.lol
Yes
Y'all must not have seen the technology connections video
Ok
That’s a lot of power l for a tiny units
yes
300 watt consumption
ok
800+€ for this joke😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ok
And when the battery goes dead... It's three times as expensive as the unit.
#the future
This unit in the video does not have the battery
Why is the exhaust and intake in the same area??? Lmao you are basically taking in the same hot air
Tent setup, think about it
That's how all dual hose air conditioners do it, even though it's sub optimal. People buying them wouldn't want to put up with 20 foot hoses to run to another window for separation. Even at it is the two hoses is a mess taking up way too much space. Regular window units are much better; portable AC units using hoses are only for situations where there's no option for anything else.
. I wonder what's the watts at max when it's running. Man you should have done some more tests, Cause everybody's interested, In different watts pull
No idea
A thermometer might be a good thing to try to acquire to enable more extensive data gathering.
They're commonly used at many scientific research facilities to measure temperatures of air and objects under evaluation, and are fairly cost effective means to determine capabilities of heating and cooling devices. Well worth the investment; they're very useful for individuals interested in objective measurements in addition to opinions and hearsay.
Tf do u need tent attachment for.. just put it in the tent
Ok
EcoFlow wave 2
ok
Unbelievably less power consumption
Yes
At that point just get a window unit.
ok
300w is actually a power saving unit compare to a windows unit that will run on at least 1000W and you got a huge bill and not portability
300W of sucking in hot air 😂
@@vallehv10011I believe it’s actually around 700 when it at max. Eco mode is 300 and doesn’t do much except when it’s not really needed.
For a house or shed, then yes. This is for portability. People use them in their camper van, or for camping in various situations and for very small spaces… and specifically can hook to an ecoflow power station and run off DC-which makes it more efficient… non EF power station will only connect to it by AC (alternating current). And this a/c can be connected to solar panels when equipped with the battery. (And it can be used inversely for heat.) So it’s a niche product, not going to suit those who could instead use a window unit.
I will be waiting for your reply
For what?
My review goes live tomorrow morning. Spoiler: it’s not positive.
Good to know
@@ToolsElectroDIY I actually pushed it this evening, so it’s up now.
id rather buy a small window ac unit for $100 bucks and draw about the same power, and be WAYY cooler
yes, check out my latest solar powered ac window unit video
People,you better be careful when you buy EcoFlow wave we bought without the battery and they say the will last with EcoFlow 7 hour well happen that only last 2 , it doesn’t cool inside my wife and I live off grid and put in our fithwhel and don’t work inside you have to put it outdoor since those pipe get supper hot .. my review for eco flow company is a worse advertising they lie in there page ..
good to know!
Omg 800. I got one for 400. That's way too high
Why
900€ is a bit too much for a portable conditioner😂
yes
Well you put the exhaust and intake next to each other, ao thats a horribly inefficient way to do it
There’s no other way
too expensive with batteries
Yes
Wi WiFi 😮
ok
Why is the device that is generating heat inside the building? That should be outside and one tube running in.
That machine is cooling off the heat it is creating in the room. Heck, even a PC can heat up a room. Imagine what a heat pump would do.
in the tent setup, it's like that.
The heat is being transferred to the exhaust air. It’s not perfectly efficient obviously but it’s a portable unit that should probably be protected from weather
@@Grunttamer either way, you dont want the intake outside. constantly cooling the humid and hot outside air is significantly less efficient than cycling the cooler air back through the machine as it cools the room.
@@mattdauphpresumably the design uses the outside air only to cool the condenser and then sends the heated air back out through the other hose, not into the room.
That's the concept anyway, how well they actually keep the condenser and evaporator sections isolated is questionable.
How many b t u
I forgot
Someone said half ton, which would be 6000 BTU, but I'd be skeptical that it could achieve that. Probably significantly less.
I saw a comma in that price. Get real. Z
Real cool
If u are taking an air conditioner to camp why bother even camping 💀 stay to ass home
ok
Big as non portable
do you know a smaller alternative?
@@ToolsElectroDIY the won in wall mart. Kneck earcon
Garbage
why
This product doesn’t seem to be particle at all . No good period.
ok
Practical?
@@dubmob151 lol, typo..its good your introducing this product but seems to me it can be better. such as being more compact and not taking up too much space. with all due respect its my thoughts, no heart feelings.
The problem the Ecoflo is, it’s very expensive and basically garbage everything I’ve ever bought from Eco Flo has broken after about a year and a half shitty company shitty products
do you have other alternatives like this?
@@ToolsElectroDIY for a portable tiny air conditioner? No. But that’s not a reason to buy it.. but for everything else they make solar generators battery back ups you’re better off with any other brand, and I also would never buy that over priced air conditioner. It will absolutely break within one or two years. No question about it. Everything this company makes is complete junk. And they have horrible customer service
