On the road trucker here. Been looking for a solution to cool my cabin at night in the summers instead of leaving my truck on in idle, save a lot of money on fuel. I camp, tailgate, go out for little league games with the nieces and nephews and grill at the lake a lot. Your reviews have pretty much confirmed my ideas that this would be a great choice. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
I've seen a few people use these in their antique cars w/o A/C to do drives in the summer. Definitely a nice alternative to burning up in 90-100s heat in a small space. Only issue would be the water leaking out if you were driving aggressively or if it fell over. Guess just fill it up to min with water and wedge it in the floorboard and point the hose at you.
The ecowave looks promising
Put a small dehumidifier in the room with the cooler. I am in a 20ft Airstream (no slide outs) and the Icy Breeze with my small (about 12 sq inch) dehumidifier works awesome in the hot/humid Texas summer when the power goes out for a few hours during a storm. Couldn’t/wouldn’t use to replace a 15K BTU unit, but will keep my trailer cool (around 75-80 degrees) for a few hours in the middle of a 110 degree day outside.
Love my Icy Breeze. Won’t cool a room down but I use it by my bed for bedtime and it helps me save a ton on electricity.
So, are you sleeping with the fan running? Is the noise quiet enough to sleep through?
@@PinnaclePete I would say about 3/4th the sound of a portable ac unit
I’d be interested to see if you added a bunch of frozen jugs/bottles of water plus water and bag of ice to fill in the gaps how long it would run for. And how cold it could get the mid bunk after it ran for a while. I suspect in this case that room will get cooler with time as heat comes out of the furnishings etc.
How interesting! Just went to Jellystone Burleson and let my brother use my IcyBreeze in his camper. My wife is taking the kids to the fair tonight and putting it on the front of the wagon for them as well. Love my IcyBreeze
Thanks for the review. I live in my SUV (by choice) and I'm gonna buy one to keep me cool in the Mississippi summer nights
I believe meat thermometer works better for testing air temp coming out of vents instead of laser.
Meat thermometers work with points of contact…ijs.
How long does that battery last on “extreme” high like you have it in the test? How long to recharge the battery? One will have to buy several batteries and chargers it appears. Interesting video, thanks
I can see some validity when people say it's nor an air conditioner... No its not a swamp cooler, but it doesnt actively remove the moisture from the environment (the original intention of AC was not to cool air, but to remove the moisture)
Edited to add: I don't think either side is right or wrong. Its kinda in a category of its own
Also what makes an AC is the compression cooling. Which this doesn't do, it also doesn't cool by evaporation either like the swamp. It's basically just a heat exchange fan.
It's only supposed to drop 5°F lower than ambient so in conjunction with your ac it would be a better true test
On your first test you had more ice in the cooler and the water seemed to be much colder. I think it’s a pretty good product! Thanks for testing it and sharing the results.
What brand battery is that 12v? Makita, dewalt, etc. perhaps you could use batteries you already have
I thought that as well, but it's the size of a 20 volt connection for Makita and DeWalt, but it's a 12 volt battery.
So what would be the difference in running this underground to cool a whole house?
COULD YOU BUY A GENERATOR THAT COULD KEEP THE RV AC GOING AND BOONDOCK AT PERMISSABLE LOCATIONS LIKE TRUCK STOPS?
How loud is it when you don't have it on high in the extreme mode?
I'm in a music group with a symphony orchestra and a choir. For our spring concerts, the director is generally dying halfway through. He has a little fan which helps a some, but really isn't enough. I've been looking for something that we could put at his feet (in front of the podium where it wouldn't be visible) and have it blow cool air directly on him. Cooling the room or the air around him isn't a priority ... just having a cool airflow on him would be enough. As you can imagine though, given the fact that it is a concert with parts of it where the music gets very quiet, whatever solution I find needs to be pretty quiet.
Ice what an idea
Someday fill those jugs with super salty water and see how cold you can get the outlet air
Might damage the pump or cause it to fail prematurely
@@BigTruckBigRV I wouldn't run it through the coils, just brine jugs to super chill the fresh water in the cooler
I need 1 of these.I have to check how it works like how cool it can cool my car down.I have a carbon monoxide detector with a temperature it's like a 3 in 1.Even if you're car ac works I think this is still good to have.But some of these might cool the car down even cooler if the unit has 2 or 3 fans to blow the cold ice.Someone please make a video of how cooler it get if the unit has 3 fans instead of 1.And fill the unit up much as possible with ice.
It would be nice if it had an actual external intake vent, instead of drawing air through the cooler ice bed still. You also keep putting too much water.
How long does the ice last ?
I think the main intent of this cooler is ouside for personal use after doing some labor to take the sweat off
Can someone provide advice on whether this is a good product for me to purchase? I have a Nissan Rogue, and I'm thinking of getting this because I have to take a road trip with my 10 month old puppy this summer, and although I have adequate AC in my car to use while driving, I anticipate times when I will have to leave my puppy in the car to run errands. I am also visiting my out-of-state father and don't want to leave my puppy alone in my father's house because he might get anxious and start chewing on things, etc. since he has never stayed away from me except inside his own house. Anyway, in the summer time I do not want to leave my dog in the car for any length of time without some kind of cooling system inside the car. Realistically, will this product keep the car cool for up to an hour, if we are shopping or dining at a restaurant and can't bring the dog with us? Also, my dog has a thick coat and I haven't had him during a summer yet, so I don't know how he will respond to the summer heat and/or a heat wave. Thanks!
How about you talk about ac and changing the ac in rv
Point it at the person, which you could not do during a grid down, would make a huge difference too.
How does it work when it is 100 degrees?
that's what I wonder, looking for a solution in my sprinter van when dry camping
Can you use dry ice in the unit?
LOL YES.
Seems relatively quiet….
Would be interesting to see what would happen if you used boiling water and reversed the process in winter
I appreciate your video and nothing negative towards you but this was a fail. I mean for that kind of money you can almost buy a mini split or a small AC with a vent out tube that would work better.
Send me the link then because I've been researching for hours and this seems to be the best option
In a grid down you would not have the option to vent to the outside. Many people are looking for alternatives for this situation.
IMO biggest waste of money, limited use if using in Texas, probably works great in North Dakota in the summer. Gave mine away, spent more time draining melt water and changing out ice or frozen water bottles than it’s worth. Cooling is ok if the hose is up your shirt or pointed directly at your face.
3 degrees ?....that sucks !!!!!!
To loud, cheaper to get a portable ac unit, and a lot quitter
Not true. A portable AC is much louder. I have both.
Yours has to be vented outside. Not an option for a grid down.
@BigTruckBigRV what type of portable ac unit would you use instead of this? Looking for a cheap alternative to cool a small semi truck sleeper unit at night. This is my main consideration thus far. I figure at night this would work perfect powered by a small power station
Add 1/2 cup of salt
That would run through the pump and heat exchanger. That’s no bueno for corrosion.
Not if you only put the salt inside the jugs.
Quite disappointing 500 plus dollar and it hardly cools such a small room. You have to point the tube straight at yourself, which is annoying to have wind in your face the whole time, plus your body is getting too cold this way and when you step away from the cooler or go outside om the sunshine, the temperature difference is way too big.
If it is 100 F, it won't even work anymore. And you have to get the ice from somewhere. If you have a small rv with a small fridge, it is hard to cool enough ice.
You could use it as a bed cooler, put the hose under the sheets and turn tue fan on the lowest speed possible,
40 degree air coming out of that thing is full of crap in 40-degree air coming out of my air conditioner at least be some sort of bucking believable
Only people with money to throw away would buy these POS items, turn all the ac units off and go by 3 more of these POS.
I’ve watched a tonne of videos of this thing. It’s a complete waste of money. If anyone is considering buying this thing, especially for inside of a vehicle, ditch the idea. You’re better off just idling your vehicle and getting your oil changed more frequently to counteract the harsh effects of idling. Your vehicle HVAC system is much more powerful than this. You will be cooler, happier, and you won’t have a massive cooler taking up all of your prime and limited real estate inside of your vehicle.
Point it at the person, which you could not do during a grid down, would make a huge difference too.
