    Thanks. Now I know version 2.0 is no better than the original.
    When I was driving trucks , the company [ made ] all the drivers purchase one in an attempt to cut down on the fuel costs of idling their trucks .
    The machine blew cold air for maybe an hour and a half. Then all it did was increase the humidity inside the cab .
    The first version was pretty much junk , and like you state with Vers. # 2 ; a complete waste of money .
    Thanks again for your summary on the updated model . 73

    Thank you, Sir! And thank you for taking the plunge for us viewers! I could tell it was not a game changer by its size and being a swamp cooler. Try to stay cool however!

      I remember Swamp Coolers when we
      lived in Phoenix in 1976, as opposed
      to regular AC.😊

    Hanging a wet towel in your doorway with a fan on it would probably be more effective.

    This is simple a very small swamp cooler. It mists water vapor into the jet of air before the wet mats. Your wet mats will thaw up in a matter of minutes but you will still feel some cooler air. Works best in low humidity areas. Research swamp coolers for more info on how they work. I have this to use in a very small camper to run during the night with a window open just a bit to offset the humidity that will build up.

    When we lived in Phoenix in 1976,
    we had an elderly lady neighbor who
    told us about sleeping outside at
    night with a damp towel hung above
    them to be cooler at night in the old
    days. 😊

    Last year I bought two of those bad boys at Home Depot. I was roasting in my top floor apartment in NYC before I got an AC unit and I was hoping those would be enough - short answer - NO! They are not replacements for a real AC unit. They will not cool off a room. They will only make you feel a little cooler if you are right next to it, but you have to keep filling the ice/water every hour or so. It is basically sputtering the water into a fine mist that blows on you and the evaporation makes you feel a little cooler, but it also increases humidity, so if the humidity is already high it really is even less effective. Also some note of caution - the water mist will accumulate on your desk or table and can cause electrical issues if you have outlets below. When I was using them I had to put them in a small aluminum pan (or glass would work) to keep the water spilling all over the place. Are they worth it for $40 - maybe, if an AC is not an option it is better than just a fan. If an AC is an option it is a much better solution especially for cooling off a larger area or a room. I wound up buying a portable AC unit, 8000 BTU to cool off my bedroom for only $250 on Amazon. Works great!

    I grew up in the Green Mountains (that'd be Vermont). I recall the only wime the swamp-cooler ever works is 'in a desert' -- Phoenix merchants used lawn sprinklers to cool their product display windows.

    it may help but, like you said will not replace the big A/C

    Can't use in Mississippi to humid. Dehumidifier would probably do better job along with AC. A large version is used in open automotive bays here regularly

    thanks a lot for biting the bullet
    my brother bought one when they first came out
    all I did was laugh at him , he paid full price, yesterday our high temperature in Kingman AZ was 112

    That's sound like an awesome temp! Swap you? Im in Australia and its currently 66F. I just took of my jumper. Anything in mid-90F is normal for most of our summer. The 125F I had when I was in Afghanistan was ok, except the tarmac started to get real sticky.

    swamp type coolers only work in low humidity environments... with 62% humidity in MN right now that thing would be useless

    Thinking $39 buys 24+ cans of refreshing cold liquid.

    As expected... if you want to do more cool(er) reviews, I'd be super interested in seeing you review the EcoFlow WAVE 2. I'm really curious about that one... wondering if it'd help me out on my boat (if you'll recall, I borrowed some parking space for a few days, so you've seen it... enclosed cabin RV on water, kinda). Good to see you doing well, still enjoy your videos. de KC3PO

    Bob. Got it. Won’t buy it. But would you be interested in doing a video on your weather station? I’m trying to find one that will last more than a couple years.

    Should have been a 90-120 second review, I can't fathom how you drug out to 12 minutes. Well, I can fathom. You just talk and talk and talk. And repeat yourself, a lot.
