Thanks for that. Unless the ones that were on display are totally different from the one we bought I think it’ll do a great job.How much did you pay for that?
I don't want to disappoint you and I really hope it works for you but it's a fan with a puddle of water in it. Build quality looks great but a scam in my opinion.

The principle isn't a scam. The water evaporates and cools the air. Devices like this are fairly widely used.How much did you pay for that?

Perhaps the water helped cool the condenser. On some commercial fridges the defrost water goes into a tray underneath and part of the condenser pipework is routed through it, works well AND gets rid of the water. The thing is with water it doesn't evaporate or boil at a low enough temperature (100c at atmospheric pressure) so it makes a bad refrigerant, but the condenser is hot ie closer to 100c so the evaporation temperature makes more of a difference.I can remember as a kid my parents had a fridge they used to leave outside the caravan that they used to pour water into a trough on the top . The evaporation of the water then cooled the inside of the fridge .

Oh right, not heard of them, best used in the UK thenOsokool was just a free standing fridge with no gas or electric .

Of course this means it makes humid air and if the moisture condenses it will give the heat up again but the main issue with them is they aren't very powerful, compared to a "proper" system working like a refrigerator. But they will cool a bit and that will make some difference.

I’ll take it out if you want a look at it mate.Hi daz
Have you tried this yet ? I’m looking for something like this to keep the dogs cool in the awning.

For all the air con engineers on here, the demo units were blowing out cooled air, simple as that.

Anyone who was walking around hall 20 at the NEC will tell you, it was not “cold ambient”No they weren't, simple as that
It's simply not possible to chill air without a compressor and gas.
All it was doing was taking air at a cold ambient temperature and adding a minimal amount of humidity to it which may or may not have made the output air seem cooler.
It's autumn now. It's cold so it's the perfect time of year for the people selling this sort of junk to fool people into believing that it's doing something.
See how "cooled" the air is when you try using it in the South of France or in Spain in August
Perhaps they put ice in the water tray... Or even dry ice (-67°c )
Edit: sorry, it's not funny.

Seem to be getting a lot of advice from people who don't actually own one nor tried one out. Testimonials from anyone who has actually had one would be good.

Well Dazzles looks like that's it, no one is going to cut you any slack, seems you've bought a plastic box and a fan.

Listen pal, @NickNic says you cannot change the laws of physics. This unit can’t possible work, sorry.Mine seems to work just fine from the 12v and not kill the battery i have used it in Spain in very hot weather. Bought it a couple of years ago at the Norfolk show

@NickNic you’ve put a lot of effort in to persuaeding me not to buy something I’ve already bought, thanks. I’ll report back on this thread next year as to how effective it is, for the benefit of anyone looking for something like this.
Not trying to persuade you to do anything. You've already dropped a wedge on it, you pretty much have to think its great now don't you

Maybe after spending 300 quid they're in denial?Somebody who has one and used it in hot climates has told us all it works just fine. Why are you still commenting?
