UPDATE (2): Hey everyone! Due to popular demand, I made a simple playlist of all "knock-off / scam" episodes of Krazy Ken's Tech Talk. Enjoy! More to come: bit.ly/clan3o1EdZ2
UPDATE: Blaux has reached out to me and I'm planning a follow-up video which addresses the points they mentioned in their email. And apparently it is pronounced "Blao" not "blow" so I'm sorry for that, haha. Stay tuned for an update…
Oh man… I think this is WORSE than the Lit Mobile debacle. Enjoy! Stay tuned for more because there might be some follow-up stuff coming soon. Feel free to subscribe for new tech videos every week! Also, please, please, please, do not prank call / contact Blaux. Let's be the bigger man. ; )
Thx 4 the advice, keep it going!
Why wouldn't I enjoy your videos are AWESOME
This new series seems great! Keep it up!
You should do WifiX, such a scam
↑ Thanks for the shout-out! I had fun meeting you and helping you out in a very small way. Excellent critique of the pros & cons.
I'm starting to think he could make an entire series about exposing scams.
Krazy Ken's Tech Scams?
YES
i wouldn't mind this
I'm so down for this.
I love these kinds of videos it makes me feel not alone in thinking these ads are insane!
Scam busters?
The ads give me "this engineer was fired for creating an indestructible drone" vibes
Oh yeah... I have to look into that one too.
The ac and drone ad are identical. Down to the same stock footage. It's almost as if it's the same company pumping out these scams and reusing as much media as they can. Wonder who's behind these, because it's impossible that it's a coincidence. Surely it's not a NA/EU company, because they'd have been investigated by now for fraud.
A R T H U R B E L L
@@TheRealAtello it is the same company. i saw an austan evans vid on it but i cant find it amymore.. the company is hyperstech and they have done alot of scams under different company names.
It reminds me of an annoying add about "a device that telecom companies are hiding about because it could revolutionize internet speeds" that is a probably a wi-fi extender 😂
I was so close to buying this right now I’m glad I look into everything before I buy things. Thanks for the video.
Smart
always look at independent reviews of things before you buy them, never in my life have a i bought something solely based on advertisement
So do I, omg! Thank you.
@@Emira_75 everyday we learn right?
Thanks for your info, was just about to buy this
We're getting their ads now in Australia since it's heating up here. I'm glad I looked into this. Thank you
And the Aussie adverts here pronounce it Bl-ow (rhymes with now). I had a giant sized (compared to that little thing) evaporative cooler years ago, and it was useless in hot humid weather, it could barely cool you sitting right in front of it, let alone attempt to cool a whole room! So I have been put off evaporative coolers forever thanks to that experience.
Yes....I'm in Australia too, in Perth, and it's been HOT AS!!!
Got rid of the pool, just before Christmas and have no aircon.
Saw this and almost bought it....almost....I've been debating it for a week, or so.
Glad I saw these reviews.....I'm keeping my money.😊😊👍👍
Thank you
Hi, its Ken Rogers here from down under
Even stole his name lol
You can just freeze your t shirts in fridge.
@@Bwong55 Lol, that would work better that that piece of junk tho
I caught on to this one instantly. They story they gave of where they came from and the layout of that video was exactly the same as another one trying to sell a "high quality" drone.
The "indestructible" drone that flies into a car and explodes like some sort of terror weapon? I love that ad
also the phone and the other thing
its 1 company that have been making theese scams for a while now under different names, the ads always have the same layout. like This one person found a trick that the big companies dont want you to know. btw pretty sure the company is hyperstech.
Indeed it's the current hot format for scams
They also made the UV glue ad, and the ear wax remover ad.
Ah, another Technology Connections fan!
Only this kind of fan is cool 😎
Technology Connections is the best.
I’m also a fan, Alec is cool and his channel doesn’t blow.
It's AC not a fan... er I mean...
@@QualityDoggo AC DC
i was about to buy this. but i realized myself that it might be bullshit, thanks
You done the right decision that saved your money
Yes, they are bs
My favorite part about the bs backstory about Billy is that if someone actually came out with a super effective air conditioner of that size, we all know that it would be being sold for a huge price somewhere.
No cutting-edge invention is ever accessible to common folk
I need a job at blaux, a blaux job would really help in these tough times...
Maybe start by getting a job at the people that make Blackberry phones: RIM.
@@nslouka90 I don't think I could juggle two jobs, a RIM job and a Blaux job would leave me drained.
Thanks for the laugh.
lmao, underrated comment
Code play that was hilarious
Lmao, my father bought this 'A/C'. Its really just a fan blowing on water that only works as an overpriced desk fan.
It's a swamp cooler
@Mathis Buxin it won't work... for some reason, my dad loves it! even though it can't cool a room, it can certainly cool a small desk space. but that's still not worth $40.
@@samarthk4130 It can also only cool said space in a low humidity environment. The water won't absorb into the air if it's already saturated.
Thank you..helpful information
@@samholdsworth3957 superficially, many cheap chinese knock off swamp coolers are just pretend, they lack enough surface area on the water soaked media to do anything at all, its like calling a room temperature oven an oven.
“Maybe he was an airline pilot” that was hilarious 🤣
I'm sorry, but I don't get it. Can you explain lol?
@@chicagotypewriter2094 bruh
It’s amazing. It took me 10 minutes of searching, getting more and more frustrated at the lack of actual information about what the product is (since it claims to defy the laws of thermodynamics) before I found this video. More and more frustrated, and more and more impressed at how deeply they’ve buried any honest discussion about what the product is. Thanks for putting this out there and providing a voice that cuts through the insanely abusive marketing behind this.
Title: A scam product
My brain: A scam product
Video: A physics lesson
Actually found it kind of interesting and informative myself. Never knew the exact process behind an AC just a general idea.
You are right
if anyone sees a youtube ad about a "amazing young mind fired for wanting to change the industry". don't buy the product, whether its a drone, dental, AC or any other product, they all use the same style ad, and fake story.
And be on the lookout, when buying something on amazon that has a high rating score and high volume of reviews. you should read a couple, sometimes the reviews don't even coincide with the product on that page, which for me is a big red flag not to mess with the product
Thanks for the advice friend!
A common theme I've noticed on Amazon for products from brands you've never heard of is to sell something cheap, basic, and foolproof, get a ton of reviews for it, then change the entire page to a different product that probably doesn't work. All the reviews stay, but there are usually ones talking about how the "USB cable was a good value and has lasted them for 4 months" while you're looking at a page for a space heater.
@@MarshalStomm Yep, I think especially with things that are sold by multiple 3rd party companies, such as cellphones (from established brands). Those sellers can put anything in the name of the product, like more memory than what is actually in the phone. (ram not storage space...for example inflating the amount to 6GB when the phone actually contains 4GB.) lol that was the complaint I saw the most.
Amazon can fix this by not putting multiple offerings (in terms of storage and memory compacity) on one page, they should be given an individual page to avoid confusion. I know they did this (the drop downs) to make it simpler, but both unscrupulous and confused vendors can take advantage of this.
I literally saw this RUclips ad like this a few days back and thought:
Well... i've seen a portable air cooler like that before on another RUclips channel called Unbox Therapy,
but that dude made a video of that kind of air cooler some time ago, and he said that it's ok to use it as a small cooler, not as an air conditioner.
So... when i saw RUclips making an ad like this, i just straight up told myself: Why is RUclips promoting scams?
Can we sue RUclips for this?!?!?!?!?
its also fishy when you see like 300 amazon reviews for a product that are all posted on the same day
I REALLY appreciate how thoroughly you've investigated this for us!!!😂😂😂
Everyone needs to keep their comments to their self I've been in marriage for 10 years .Bobby Levi thinks that he can be slick and sligh and still you're blind so everyone out there on Facebook good f****** luck
And who the f*** are you up to comment on my marriage who the f*** are you
Good thing im being sketchy feelings for this.
1200 thumbs down from that scam company
You could say your expectations are Blaux average...
Underrated comment
@@raycestg3447 eggsactly
Oh I get it
🤣
When I clicked on this video i instantly get a ad about this exact product
I'm mexican and I read "NO MAMES", then laughed so hard...
I did not laugh but call myself STUPID ME
You know the irony of it all? If they just sold it as a tiny rechargeable swapcooler for a super tight budget..... they would have a hell of a market.
Yeah. If it'd drop a room a couple degrees for a low price I can see buying one.
Just like a space heater. I don't need to heat the whole house, just adjust one room a few degrees.
Except they couldn't do that and keep the per unit price of literally 90 dollars. Gotta blow it up to look like it's worth the price they want people to pay.
gooney0 if you have a pretty big bed room, those space heaters sucks.
What, honest ads? You crazy!
@@gooney0 The whole operation is a scam from top to bottom, so honestly selling a swamp cooler was never a consideration to begin with. There is already a lot of competition for that market, and it's not a market whoever is behind this thing actually wants to enter. Besides, there just aren't that many people who live in places hot and dry enough to benefit from a swamp cooler. They're better off manufacturing a bunch of cheap, fake support for a few weeks to scam people as hard as possible before they change their name again and start selling something else.
And yeah, who is going to pay $90 for something that only costs a few bucks to manufacture?
"Works as a humidifier."
Ah yes, that's what I absolutely want when it's 95 degrees out and 75% humidity. MORE HUMIDITY FROM MY "COOLER"!
Especially the room with all your tech..... Electronics love this as much as a stone in a shoe.
@@Rhythmattica high humidity is better than low humidity. ESD.
@@mrmaniac3 I rather have low humidity than feel as if I could do the backstroke in the air... That and when you sweat in low humidity it can at least do it's just by evaporating to cool you down. (Which ironically is essentially how a swamp cooler works..)
If it is 75% humidity a swamp cooler (evaporative cooler) will not work very well, so you will get a bit more humidity and practically no cooling. This kind of cooler is only really viable where the humidity is very low.
Just what's needed in Florida right about now 🤔🤪
Thanks for your review. I was literally one click away into ordering this product. Good thing I researched before buying it. Then I came across your review. What a help! Glad I clicked on your review. Thanks again, keep it up. 👍👌👍👌
saw the ad, started watching the "commercial", as soon as I saw "add water", I realized it was a simple swamp cooler...thanks for sharing this informational vid!
"so, what are some american names we can use for some fake promo?”
Well...
“jHoN sMiTh”
Now if they used, Jane Doe or John Doe, it would of fooled everyone lol.
Karen is always a good choice.
Anyone who cites Technology Connections has my respect. Just watch, in a few years someone will be directing people to your videos if you keep putting out this level of quality.
After waiting 30 days I received this email:-
We apologize once again for the delay in the delivery but we assure you that the order will definitely be delivered to you.
Still waiting to receive it. NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED.
U didnt get ur blow for 30 days?
Not yet, so I cancelled the order and claimed the money back.
Prasad Jacob .... how did you get a refund I receive mine today and I am thoroughly disappointed this is a fraud rip off this little piece of crap can’t even cool a shoebox let alone a whole room warning this is a fraud do not purchase this
Please get your money back. Contact your financial institution immediately, and get your money back. As a victim of scammers, definitely get back your money, don't be a victim.
Peace in abundance
I was waiting for 2 months and now call myself STUPID ME
After seeing ads for this for years, I've been waiting so long for people to debunk it. Thank you
Welcome to 2020, where we talk about Air Conditioner scams...
lol
honestly loads of people do this.
and its called drop shipping. you pick a product buff up the prize. and there is no consequences.
@@miciso666 ken talked about this in the litmobile vid
@@dnasu yeah
I've been waiting for someone to debunk these things.
Dude, your channel is was underated! Keep up the awesome work!
I'm glad you did this video...I'm an engineer but I'd see through this one even if I weren't. Plus, swamp coolers are a pet peeve of mine because I moved to the high desert for the dry air. Some public places rain on my parade by using swamp coolers and as soon as I walk in, it feels like someone just took a shower. These things don't de-humidify....they raise the humidity (in case it isn't obvious).
me: watching a blaux scam video.
me again: i have never heard of this company.
blaux ad after the video: i think its time that I introduced myself.
NausiationStrat Lol I got it before the video.
"it cools better than a regular fan"
wow its almost like a fan doesnt cool air at all
note: the keyword was air. a fan does not cool air
😂
Well, it kinda does by evaporating the sweat from your skin 🤔
"Works as a humidifier" = Is a humidifier.
@@meinnase but after a while your skin starts to get sticky under the air
@@Pentti_Hilkuri It has a faster fan than a typical humidifier and, allegedly, a thermocouple that will evaporate the water faster. So it might be a little more effective as a cooler than such a tiny humidifier would be. It's also battery powered, so it really is more portable. That said, you would have to refill the reservoir much more often.
I think there is a real place for a product like this. For example, suppose you are taking a vacation in Arizona during the summer, and at one point you are camping out in a tent. Having a cooler like this nearby, that operates on battery power, would probably be pretty nice. You wouldn't get a ton of cooling, but you don't need a lot for a small tent, and if I were in that situation I'm sure I would pay a little for that. Not $90, but something. Sadly, this product is just a scam. I can imagine a real, honest equivalent might be pretty good in some niche situations.
I just want to say, thank you for making all this videos. It's an eye opener.Good job.
I love ❤ you man, thank you for exposing this tiny swamp cooler. I would still buy it but it's too expensive for $89. I don't want 3 of them for a better deal
So glad I talked my mom out of buying this product! She saw the thing on Facebook and sold me the story and after my husband and I did some research we found some truth to it but not all of it. I shared this video to my Facebook in hopes no one else tries to buy it. THANK YOU so much for this video, I sent it to my mom as well.
Your "Call out BS" video's make my day. Keep them coming.
I bought one. It works pretty well, not an AC unit but definitely not as expensive. I don't use it to cool a room, but it works great as a personal swamp cooler.
I'm glad you shouted out Technology Connections. his videos are genuinely wonderful
Ken: "I want to be a tech RUclipsr with an Apple-centric focus"
RUclips: "I'm about to algorithmically modify this man's whole career"
the ads: officeless agency, yta method, blaux, accounts expoliting members only videos
I sure appreciate this review and information on these "portable mini air conditioners". I'm thinking now we could get the same affect by soaking some socks and afix them via clothes pin to our box fan...
Anyway, we just want to say thanks, you are spot on correct in your video. We're so glad we decided to look up some honest reviews before ordering a few...
Literally thank you so much for this. Finally a REAL review! You have helped so many of us not waste our time and money
Why have I never seen your videos before!?!? So I spent my afternoon watching the most recent. You are fantastic and you helped me change my mind about buying one of these so thank you!
It's a "swamp cooler". These devices have been around a hundred years, and they are quite effective in a hot, dry climate, such as in the southwestern states. In Florida, where the dew point is usually very high, an evaporative cooler is worthless.
True. In Mexico, they're used en masse
Put a wet cloth over your fan and you have the exact same effect.
@Mr305Maxxx A geothermal heat pump.
Facebook HAS to be in on these scams.
Not very surprising
blaux ad everywhere in RUclips too
Even news websites.
Facebook is complicit in the destruction of Western democracies. Selling a fake air conditioner doesn't even register to them.

This is Hands Down the very best review I have every watched of a product. You don’t miss a thing. Nothing escapes you along with the way you Delivary the info. So clear and precise. Thank you. Ted
I would love you to look at a very crooked industry, Snoring devices. Such as Sleep Connections W-308 device. There are so many Scammers in this space. Ted
I beg to differ. - one thing he did not mention, an important fact - this device, using evaporative cooling increases the relative humidity in the room making the user's sweat less able to evaporate, increasing discomfort level and negating any slight cooling effect. These devices are a scam
“choose a sweet gift for your lover”
ken: *stares into the camera in terror*
Yeah if you hate your lover order them this piece of crap this is a fraud...,
I got an ad that told a story of a father who made this for his daughter's dorm room. Her friends all loved it and wanted him to make it for them, too. Hence, the Blaux portable AC!
Hahaha wtf
im waiting for them to actually said "then everybody clapped"
it couldnt get any better.
Me too! They can't even get their story straight! I'm guessing they change the story based on your demographic since I am a college student.
I saw that story too. lol I posted my entire experience with Blaux above.
@@suzanneedmonds1566 Hi Suzanne, Larry here
I just don’t know how RUclips are letting these adverts be shown.... surely they are vetting them before publishing. They need to stake some responsibility here. Again a great vid !
OMG...I LOVE your review. Not only thorough, but soooo entertaining! Your episode was so well done! Thanks for researching the Blaux "AC" portable unit swamp cooler. Saved me from even thinking further about purchasing. All the ads (especially the one with the girl pictured on the front and an Australian bloke narrating) looked suspicious, and you know what they say about, "if it sounds too good to be true..."! Thanks again, Ken!
Thank you! I was really keen to know more. Interestingly I just watched an ad for the blaux and it had same back story but different lad pictured!! So wrong. Thank you for explaining it all!
thank you for blowing their scam.
i was so pumped when i saw an Ad of this.
I love how, in the ad, they totally eschewed science when it comes to humid climates.
Swap coolers (which is what this is, on a tiny scale) do work in arid climates, but try one of these things out in the midwest or the deep south and it’s not doing anything but “blaux”ing hot, moist air around.
Thank you for doing this series, Ken.
I actually watched and like this whole video! I bought a couple of those and now I'm just hoping the fan is good enough. Thank you!
Oh I just subscribed, after going to purchase but my intuition was telling me I better subs it out with real reviews and your channel showed up. Great information and I had no idea about Veeo or however it’s spelled to find images. That will be handy for my clients so now I’m going to search for that. Thankyou so much.
Haha, these scams needs to "cool down".
◉‿◉
I've been seeing these ads pop up, and they've been annoying me. Yes, they look suspicious, cheap, and red-flag-worthy. But honestly, the main reason i hate them so much is because i'm in Alaska...
yeaaaaaah
Good sales pitch :D
I bet you don't even need AC in Alaska lol I think of AK and I think of ice
Junk! Don't waste your money like I did, it can't even cool a foot square around its self.
I bought 2 of them now I call myself STUPID ME
@@pramukcholahan6828 Thank you for the advice. I was about to buy it but thought I should check some reviews before buying so I stumbled across this video and now reading some comments from you guys. Very happy I didn't get it. :)
Haha, my brother is Chris G 🤔 just curious though, do you live in a dry climate? Because if you don't, a swamp cooler is not going to work well anyway.
I bought 4 .. 3 as presents,now kicking my self
Junk,and you pay to return it. Don't buy.
Thank you, you just save me, I almost wanting to order one till I saw your video. I'm so glad, you just save me from so many problems. Thank you Thank you.
I saw this ad and literally stg said, “this is another lit mobile. I really hope Ken or someone makes a video on it” Ngl tho, the product if it was legit would be awesome.
Also, why dont you buy one on alibaba like you did with lit mobile.
Swamp coolers aren't very efficient when it comes to cooling spaces much larger than the immediate area around it, and their marketing materials is deliberately misleading. They're preying on people who aren't as experienced in filtering out the "too good to be true" garbage.
If it was an actual micro-ac with a compressor, it would require an exhaust line because guess what, an AC has to get rid of hot air. That's why EVERY real AC is either outside, or sticking out of a window, or (in the case of those wheeled portable units) has a big exhaust tube that you mount in a window.
Just like Lit mobile, this is another offshore company outside of any legal system that gives a shit, scamming English speaking countries.
pass me the blaux cord 😂
You got me :)
3:00 Well you see, that's a star to show that they're a one-star product.
Great Job! Looking forward to the update. Also because you were thorough and entertaining (Not boring at all) I look forward to researching your other reviews.......Thank you!
7:00 you had me when you used "for all intents and purposes" correctly. Thank you for not saying "intensive", that drives me insane. I'll believe everything you say now.
Almost everyone USES the expression correctly. Only the SAYING it correctly part is of note.
Agréd
For all intents and purposes, this phrase is really confusing
@@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff yes, u agree. The use of the phrase is not the issue but rather people saying 'for all intensive purposes' and not 'for all intents and purposes'
I just had an "article" for blaux pop up on my Google News feed after watching this video yesterday. I live in Florida so the last thing I need is more humidity in the air.
Thank you for a very clear presentation of the facts and principles of compression air conditioners vs. swamper evaporative coolers. I have seen numerous and various ads promoting the new amazing industry changing discovery of swamp coolers. Swamp coolers are thousands of years old in hand powered forms were one of the earliest uses of electrical motors and pumps when those were developed in the early 20th century. You do an interesting and engaging show. Your sense of humour and theater are great.
Thank you for your review video because I almost headed to that page and purchased 3 Blaux Portable AC at a time.
I literally just came from Technology Connections' latest video on this exact AC!
Do us all a favor and clean that up, thanks
FB even put science equations and an exaggerated story of the kid cooling an entire classroom. Then when I heard it uses cold water exposing that it's a swamp cooler 😂
I actually bought it and i love it! Its very simple. Definitely not used to cool rooms. But i like it because it’ll blow cool air for 4 hours. LED lights for a comfortable setting. Its really relaxing.
$89 for something you could have bought for $20 seems a bad deal not matter how relaxing those LEDs are.
I was almost sucked in in..but decided to get check out this..thank you so much for this..you are awesome
14:43 sounds like somebody started a car lol
Oh. Come on I missed this and it could be another company copying lit lol
Ken, thank you for all your hard work in these matters!!
Blaux air conditioner is a legitimate product. One day a man wanted to cool his oven, which had a fever. He was FURIOUS that he was helpless to cool his oven that got a fever from cryptosporidium that leaked into the house when the Mississippi river flooded. The man felt *helpless* to cool his oven, and it was his own fault that he got into this jam, because HE flooded the river by damming it up.
So he invented the Blaux AC unit. This man's name was Joe Blaux.
True story. I even have some badly photoshopped stock photos to prove it.
9:18
I don't know what a sports is, so I choose to believe "Gamecock" is just the best GameCube knockoff ever.
I can get this like $10 locally, just Chinese made, unbranded product that works the same.
That's why I call myself STUPID ME
Thank you for your help to define the Blaux “ Air Conditioner “ . ..lol. I subscribed ! I am going to always take your advice; as a person who is formally educated, I am grateful to you. Exceptional display of information!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks so much for the education! Their ads are slick & persuasive but too much so, I was skeptical & you validated my suspicion!
I was desperately hot but I was also suspicious. I'm so glad I tuned in. Heat can make you do crazy things. Thank you so much for this video. ♥
Most AC experts will tell you that the “conditioning” part of an air conditioner is that it needs to dry the air which makes you feel cool because perspiration will evaporate more effectively. Even if the air is the same temperature as the environment, of its dry you will feel cooler.
This device makes the air more humid which does not help if you’re in a humid environment. In dry climates, evaporative coolers (swamp coolers) work fine. In fact you see them on the roofs of a lot of homes in Nevada and Arizona.
Calling it an air conditioner is fraud in my opinion. A proper description of what it does and where it’s effective would be great. Except they wouldn’t sell many...
I was working on a project at an observatory in Arizona one August several years ago. The swamp coolers blowing into the warehouse where we had our work tables set up worked really well. Granted, these were industrial sized units (about 4 foot square front faces) and fed water with garden hoses. Even in the "wet" season in Arizona it was dry enough in the summer to work well. I don't think they would work nearly as well as just a fan (again, industrial 4 foot fan) in my home area of Delaware. It just gets too humid here for swamp coolers.
@@Sembazuru yes, those have massive honeycomb like evaporative pad media, many chinese knock off units have little more than a plastic mesh, its pure pretend.
Was about to advertise Tech Connections I see you did that, which is awesome!
Thanks so much for this. You just saved me so much $$$. Went to buy, just about to put my card details in and then I stopped and thought I'd better check this out first!! Soooo glad I did. Thanks so so much. You are awesome. Your saving people from being ripped off by these lies.
Man I love these scam videos
I’d totally watch a series of you exposing scams lol this was great lol
I ordered one of these and it took several months to get here but it did. I put the product on my night table near me and it works perfectly and gives me the relief from the heat I was looking for when I sleep.
Ok, You are Awesome!!!! I really would encourage you to pursue your own show,series, etc.. with this theme. Your explanations are very clear and funny as well (I laughed a lot). True story, so I bought that crap thinking it was going to be great, read some reviews, some were positive, others not so much. I took a chance but then later regretted it. Long story short, the crappy thing got rotten inside, threw it away immediately. Thanks for your honesty and the funny review!
People have been coming into my work asking about these for MONTHS!! Whenever I show them our "portable" (ie the on wheel units you show) ACs they complain.
The REAL portable ACs (on wheels) are great! People don't know what they're missing. Our apt doesn't have central ac/heat because they were built in the 70s and are basically brick boxes with cement floors and we bought a portable Black and Decker for like $350 or something and this summer our apt is pretty cool :) I had to find reasons to down-sell the Blaux AC to my mom because she was sold on the kid's story on Facebook.
Technology Connection actually also made a video about this "Swamp Cooler".
OMG I LOVE THIS . thanks Brain is melting on a very hot pre summer day in Australia . thanks for doing the research for me.
Thank you so much for making this video! I WAS just about to order one.
I actually used to have that "other" mini swamp cooler that was used in the mixed up B roll footage. I only paid like $30 for it, and it was actually advertised as a swamp cooler. I was pretty happy with it, I kept it on my desk for a good year or so before it died. Cheap, but not bad fkr $30

I wanted to buy one just now and I mean now when I just decided to check review. Thank you Computer Clan. You saved me from making a mistake. My wife would have been so upset for making a silly mistake like this.
I came to this channel just to see scamming company getting completely shredded

Glad I framed through to find that gem!
Wish I had seen this before I ordered a few. It has been close to a month, and still no product. I checked with my bank, and, of course, the charge occurred 2 days after my order. I called their number...supposedly, New Jersey...yet, it was a guy from India that I spoke with. I told him it was illegal to put through the charges without either mailing the product, or directly handing it to the buyer. He got very upset, kept yelling, and asked if I wanted to cancel my order (maybe I should have said "yes"), and then hung up on me. I definitely will be following up on this further.
Thank you for your review. I too have mindlessly ordered products I never received or gotten a refund for because unbenownst to me, they were coming from overseas. I was so close to ordering one when something stopped me and said "find out where it is delivered from." I was unable to find out it's origin anywhere else. Your review stopped me in my tracks. Again, thank you for posting!!!
Last year I bought one of these coolers off the internet, months later I received it in the mail from China. The box listed on the Customs Declaration as a "commercial sample". So I bought for $89.00 a commercial sample. When I opened the package it was just a bunch of light plastic pieces - falling apart. Fortunately my credit card refunded me the $89.00 back. (Never purchase with a debit card). So glad you have this video for the public to review.
