HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Today I'm testing out the Aqua Breeze, aka the "Dual Mist Fan" with the Bell & Howell name. I saw it advertising on TV and wanted to see how it compared to some other fans in my collection.

Almost 20 years ago I remember we purchased a $25,000 Bell & Howell high-speed document scanner for mass digitizing documents at work. My how far they have fallen.
The company that made your scanner died many years back all that left is the name which is sold out to any one willing to pay to use it.
@@autobotjazz1972Yep zombie brand like RCA.
@@autobotjazz1972 - Yes, perhaps "most" of the brand names from the past 50 years or more survive, while the companies that started each "brand" went out of business decades ago. Those names continue to be traded, purchased by entities all over the world. Usually, a quick look at reviews (like this one) will show whether the products sold under any name you recognize are worth your money or not.
$25,000?
@@jujubee2141 Yes that's how much professional grade document scanners cost. Designed to scan reams of paper (hundreds of sheets) at a time.
Back in the day, Bell & Howell was a big name in optical equipment, cameras, telescopes, etc. In the early 70's, in high school, I learned to operate the Bell & Howell movie projectors, that every school had. By the start of the 2000's, they were going down hill, got sold a couple of times and in 2010, the company that owned them, was licensing the name to every cheap electronic made.
"In September 2001, the remaining industrial businesses along with the Bell & Howell name were sold to private equity firm Glencoe Capital. The company merged with the North American arm of Böwe Systec Inc." Currently, "customers are mostly dissatisfied."
Private equity firms are ALWAYS the death nell of a Quality Brand. ALWAYS.
Thanks for the information.
So you're telling me 3 towers fell?
The concept of misting to cool yourself varies. If the mist is thick and lands on your skin, you feel cool but you get damp fast. If the mist is light and it touches your skin lightly and then evaporates soon after, you feel cool and maybe only slightly damp. If the mist evaporates before it reaches you, it still cools the air and you don't feel damp.
When water evaporates, it actually absorbs the heat in the air to become vapors, so you get cooling + humidity.
Exactly what I wanted to comment. The mist may be "gone" before it gets to you, but so is the amount of heat it took to evaporate it.
It also depends on the relative humidity of the air.
It effects how much water the air can hold, general feel, and how fast water can evaporate.
I live in Minnesota. We always have high humidity. It's 83% humidity currently.
Compared to Vegas where the humidity is very low. It's at 24% humidity, right now.
Im not trying to perpetuate that creators need to upload frequently, but I do enjoy seeing you pop up so often. Love your videos.
Agreed. His videos are short, sweet & his enthusiasm makes them a pleasure to watch. Very rarely if @ all I miss / skip them😊
I remember, eons ago, when I was a kid, Bell & Howell was a mark of quality. We had a Super 8 camera and projector from them, and they worked for decades. Today, when I see that name on a product, I avoid it like the plague.
In the 60s, my mother and father had a Bell & Howell wind up 8mm movie camera.
I work for a Culvers and a manager brought the Honeywell fan into the kitchen just under the counter and it is wonderful when the kitchen is hot
For $40 you can get 5 speed fan with 10 inch blade that works good in 100 degree weather.
What I remember about Bell & Howell is that they made 8mm movie cameras and other optical products. It was a good brand with good products. Metal, not plastic.
It might be okay for dry areas, but in areas that have a fair amount of humidity that's just going to make it feel worse
Thanks for the review. I just ordered the Honeywell fan. It is clearly the winner here!
I use the Honeywell fan. They use to run $10, and are now $17. It's the best bang for your buck, and they last the longest.
Funny I have one and it only lasted 4 months.
Is it portable?
It's very portable. You can fit it just about anywhere.
I saw that they have different colors now as well. Not just black and white. Not that I need any more fans though...
I haven't seen different colors. There's only black and white on Amazon. There's probably different brands than Honeywell in different colors in this vortex style.
I was hoping for a fan to take camping. Sounds like I need to keep looking
Try the Bauer fan from Harbor Freight uses cord or battery (tool style which you have to buy separate) Moves decent air and very portable
I still really like my Woozoo fan I got from Costco.I have a bad problem with dust around here, but for whatever reason those fans don't pick up much dust. Also has a remote and is super quiet on the lower modes and higher modes not much worse. If you are in the market for a nightstand fan/ desk fan...etc , I highly recommend it. Oh and it also oscillates side to side and up and down. A really good little fan 👍
Hi, is there any kind of filter involved with the WooZoo? Also what kind of $ for the WooZoo? Thanx.
@@arottie4097 did my reply not come thru?
@@arottie4097 my posts are getting deleted...
I mean it's cool how it's a portable fan with rotation, but you could also just get one of those fans that turn from a desk fan to a pedistal fan and are small enough to pack.
Thank you James for your amazing reviews You're awesome❤
I use the Arctic air with a small desk fan and they work well but it doesn't get much above 80° in the summer where I live. I'm always interested in small efficient fans especially the neck fans but I'm going to pass on the Bell & Howell. Glad I saw your review because I was interested until then.
While it may seem unexpected, from personal experience I feel more breeze from some smaller fans when I place them a bit farther away from me than most people would. With the double stack and the mist, I'd use that to cool my bedroom off before bed, or in a smaller room. I'd just put ice water in the mister.
Hubby and I have a bell & Howell ceiling fan with a light (and remote) Our room is 15 x 15 feet. The light is pretty bright on all settings and the fan keeps ups really cool on all speeds. It was super easy to install and we love it.
If you have to point the remote at the device, it is likely using an IR signal. That is actually a good thing because the battery can last a lot longer.
Something similar is all over aliexpress right now, going for just a few bucks, I can’t imagine they’re any better but I did wonder what the inspiration was, well now I know. Cheers Mr.
5:05 the whole purpose for effective mist, is for it to evaporate, and hence you should not feel the mist. But the air should be cooler. If it is working.
Measuring the humidity would be more efficient than the feeling of the mist. Both are important in my opinion.
I have had my black honeywell for nearly a decade and has been one of my best purchases. Still kicking strong and paid 16 dollars for it,.
It's a Mistery for sure.
No mist and he’s pissed.😂😂
Good fan is the main thing. Mister/Spray Bottle and you get a cool breeze. I Love the idea of misters but if they work well enough they just get everything close by wet. With a spray bottle you can get a mist that will dampen You or your cloth just enough that you are not wet, yet you can feel the cooling effect of evaporation.
I would go with the Honeywell out of the fans you have or Get a decent Box fan.
I bought that Honeywell from Target a few weeks ago and it's a powerful little fan for the money. Very happy with it.
FWIW, the science behind misting isn't so much that it makes you cooler directly, but that it draws heat from the surrounding air cooling it. That said, I doubt something that small won't significantly cool a room that size.
You don't want to feel the moisture from the fan (unless you want to deal with the moisture that's created). As the mist evaporates it cools the ambient air temperature (without having to deal with the moisture). - Although oddly addicted to this channel, I swear that I lose IQ points after most videos. That said, I have made several purchases on items that I otherwise, if not for this channel, would not have known existed, so thank you for that!
? is, would you consider your purchases / this channel. A curse or a blessing? Ha!
I'm just in the beginning of the video and it seems like it keeps getting better LOL. Packing the charger cable on top, plus a remote. You didn't know. Getting a few brownie points. Looks like a leather handle. That's interesting. Okay I'm going to finish the rest of it
I guess this one kind of mist the mark.
If your fan comes with an arbitration agreement . . . Louis Rossman is probably screaming into his pillow right now. Haha.
USB Power Bank.
Probably useful during a power outage and camping etc
I just noticed the back of the fan, like the safety label or something, says Aqua Breeze on it lol. They defo just changed the name. Some marketing exec got a bonus for that lol.
Looks like another for the boneyard tbh. Shame, we need help here in Vegas, its BRUTAL out here🔥🔥🔥
I'm to the south in Arizona. Definitely need more Fan reviews this year! This year just seems hotter than the last few years.
even the spiritual world is getting hot and hotter @@Sarafimm2
You mist again! Sorry, Phil Collins! 😂
I prefer louder fans. The loud noise from the fan helps me sleep
I'm here cause I can't sleep with the fan on
same same, noise helps with Tinnitus!
Was wondering if you turn the top or the bottom fan off if the mist feature will work better.
The perfect revenge here would be for you to jury-rig something together that works better than all of your test fans! It just seems that the test fans were made as a cash grab.... I still really like the review! Your patience with these products is amazing! I'd have gone nuts by now and thrown everything through a window!!
Any mist cooling feature is highly dependent on humidity. The dry air you have out there's fighting against it.
I too remember when the Bell & Howell name meant something. This is a solid pass.
0:27 - 0:31
"oh we've got double prizes. Two arbitration agreements that nobody reads!"
😂
I think I'd get better cooling results from a spray bottle with normal water. Just spray myself, and let evaporation do it'd work. Combine it with any old regular fan to speed up the evaporation.
@9:30 in the morning
Ty James for your true and awesome reviews 👍.
I still use my Go Fan every day at work, which I bought because of your review of it.
The last thing I’d want here is more moisture hitting me and my home. We call it humidity up here. I don’t need more.
I bought a small USB fan for my desk for around $7 on Amazon that does a fine job keeping me cool in the afternoon... no misting or gimmicks needed.
last fall I bought a rechargeable fan on clearance from Home Depot. Of course, it uses an older USB charger, not the same as my phone. and the cord is very short. It's designed for under your desk to blow horizontally across your feet. I run it at night, on my dresser facing my bed. It's a nice breeze, I don't feel like a tornado is headed for my face LOL.
Good comment.
😂 My mother-in-law brought this to our Colonial Williamsburg trip. It was okayish. Water kept leaking out if you tipped it in the slightest.
I Love Freakin' Reviews Videos 💗
I like the ice cooler fan, simply add ice or ice pack and that’s it, much cooler
Question: did the mist make the air cooler? Just thinking maybe that's what the mist is for.
Been listening to Heaven and Hell, eh? GREAT record! I got to hang out with Dio a bunch. Great, warm guy.
Mr. Howell, so glad you got off the island. How’s that wife of yours?
Skippperrrr
What happened to Gilligan?
I have to agree with you on these mister fans, they dissipate so fast, I have tried 3 of them now, same thing, we need one with a really high powered mist that works.
Yeah it's one of those things that look great in the commercial, but not so much in reality!
I just recently got the ryobi fan with mist, it's pricey but you get what you pay for but only if you already have ryobi batteries.
Tried one of those arctic air "mini cooler" once.... thing was 90% black mold after a month and half... worst product ever.
Omg YES! You’re the only other person (besides myself) that I’ve seen say anything about this! The mold situation was the WORST
"I'm very disappointed. That mist is weak!" 🤣😂
There's no "sit on it and rotate" feature? I'm disappointed 😆
But you're right about Bell and Howell. They sold themselves out.
They must have gone on Shark Tank. 😄
Yes the sit & rotate feature is a Must have! Endless hours of fun!! ;)
The mist missed....great video as always James 👍 Happy Sunday 🎉
Thanks for the objective review
One thing I would like to see is if you put the fan in a small room and see if the temperature of the room changes over time.
I am literally using the same exact Honeywell fan at this very moment 🤣🤣
I'm a huge fan!!!😁
I actually have a dehumidifier. I don’t want to add any more water in the air!
Thanks James! Awesome review as always ❤👍
My Lasko pedestal oscillating fan that I paid twenty bucks for ten years ago works fine for me
Honeywell and Lasko both are pretty good nowadays. Probably the one two brands of fans I would buy if happy with the price and style and not feel I have to go look for reviews.
The Breezy Comforts AC on Amazon would be a review for you, but I have feeling I already know how that will turn out lol.
I wonder if the mist cools the breeze from the fan?
That's what I assumed
Yet another informative video.👍
WOW! 7 straight days of record heat for you! Good time to review more cooling products as even wayyyy up here in Nova Scotia, the remainder of hurricane Beryl has left us in the 90’s with humidex in the 100’s! Ugh!!!!.
That's been our temperatures since early April and no rain.
@@lenalyles2712Yes, but we still have a lot of people with out electricity.
Great… first time you broke 75 in while. Great Job!
As others have said here , B&H used to be a high quality brand . Out west or where there is low humidity this fan system :D would work best .
James, please do a review on the "Oribreeze Air Conditioner" 🙏
Thanks for the review. Man, the concept sure seemed seductive enough.
Love your reviews!❤❤✌️
You are a sucker for these cheap-ass cooling products 😂
It's what this audience wants to see.
Those misting fans don't really work unless you are right beside them. Then they barely work. They are suppose to work off evaporation but any humidity prevents that from working effectively.
Nowadays there is a lot of different products using the bell and howell name....and the products are all hit and miss at best
It is very nice to see more videos from you keep it up buddy
Pure chill is just a weak computer fan. What if it had a way to upgrade it to a better faster fan, or if you could see if can be changed out.
Have you considered doing a review of the Shark Flex Breeze? It claims to work from a distance of up to 70 feet. Might work well in the Las Vegas heat.
The Zapruder film of JFK''s assassination was made with Bell and Howell camera.
Good for family tent camping. Otherwise, I'd keep it charged and put away. 🤘
103 degrees in the morning
You have to live in a dry climate, like where you live, for misters and swamp coolers to work. Here in Texas, nobody has a swamp cooler, because of the moisture from the Gulf.
Btw, if you want a quieter fan, get one with a DC motor in it. I just got one from Lasko and I love it.
Same 😂😂 love the videos bro ❤
i had one of these types of fans, tossed it in the trash after 1 week.
How come?
@@7-ten didn't blow any mist like that one just straight hot air,🥵 i was like i could've just got a regular fan and toughed it out.
@@howieg2019 makes sense. Hope you got a better fan now. 💚
One week would have been in the return period.
@@TheClockUpOnTheWall probably, but the heat had me so irritated, i tossed it and put a small rotating fan in it' place👍
Why would you want a fan putting humidity into your office space? This just seems like a freaking disaster over time. I had an arctic air until i noticed rust rings around the top of one of my servers of a top mounted hard drive.
Remember that swamp coolers (that’s what the Arctic Air actually is) work by evaporating water. That takes energy and therefore removes heat from the air to do so. In dry locales these kinds of cooling work ok, but if your area is humid anyway, don’t bother.
The Honeywell is quite powerful, but it's hard to clean the blades after they get dusty, which really irritates my allergy.
WE SHALL SEE
It should be pointed out that a product like this is useless if you live in a humid climate. For a dry climate it's okay I guess ,but there are better options available.
I have the Honeywell fan. It's the only fan that I'll buy. It has lasted many years!
Looks like it's acting more of a humidifier than a mister. the dual fans mixed with the ability to angle them and use wall power makes it a PRIME choice for a portable fan to use when sleeping over at someone's house who keeps the house too warm for your tastes.
Dual mist with 3 misting jets?
Humidity is 65% and up. I really don't need more moisture in the air!
One of the ways air conditioners work is by removing moisture from the air. So aren't all these misting fans just making the air more muggy?
Have you ever thought of getting a drone for shots when your out doing a walk or showing us the viewers the beauty of Las Vegas
I'm at the point that there is a gap. Probably because the fans are too close and depends on the angle where you're pointing the fans. One is probably being pushed away by the other because it's close together on a angle. But I'm not a scientist, but that seems like a common sense thing. If you have two things that's blowing and one is tilted further into that wind tunnel. Or I'm just overthinking it
