Thanks A Lot For This Great Item – Wall Unit Air Conditioner Review
It is portable around the house, although not so much when going out because it isn’t exactly pocket size so I usually just keep it next to me on my desk. To be honest I don’t really understand what the strap on it is for.
It is just amazing – the fan alone would be great, but the air blowing out of it is genuinely cool! Not like your car A/C blasting on max, but still unbelievable. It was shrink wrapped a plastic bag. As from the instructions, I wetted it with the water bottle and put the filter into the handy cooler. However, I discovered a trick to force it to use moisture from the entire sponge, * Wet the entire sponge according to the instruction manual. Put it in the unit, close the cover, and turn the unit on. First how it works…there is a sponge-like component you are to soak with a few mm of water. Here’s my first negative: They give you NOTHING to measure this amount with but the warning that if you overfill it could damage the fan. Perhaps this one just happened to be defective or perhaps my expectations were a little too high. Either way I do not recommend this for any kind of purpose.
I have to say that standard misting fans are great if you’re out at the beach or something, but if you don’t want to get wet it can’t be used. The way the handy cooler is designed gives you the same effect but without the wetness hitting you. It is a bit pricey, but IMO it’s worth it. I get hot flash attacks 3-4 times a day and god knows how annoying it could be! I’ve been use this constantly and I’ve had no problems with it so far. I’ve used various desk fans before that I bought from target, Brookstone and home depot, but this really isn’t the same them. It’s getting hot already and as an active sportsperson I inevitably stay out in the sun for a long time. This is a great cooling tool when you are resting between breaks or need a quick cool down during a hike.
I will try to return it as soon as I can. This is a quality product.
The sponge dries out very quickly and even when wet does not do much cooling. I was very disappointed with the evaporation cooler aspect of this fan, don’t count on it.
The concepts similar to those misting fans you see at some of restaurants or at some amusement parks, but this is a personal use version. It’s a great idea.
It comes in a nice gift box and I’m considering getting a couple for my relatives for Christmas. Downside is they won’t be too excited when you can only use it in summer! I wanted to buy the adaptor that claims to give out more power, but when I bought mine last month but they were sold out, it’s now in stock again so I’ll be getting one now. My expectations were pretty high for this price point, and I am so far satisfied with this product.
