$1,000 Gimmick or Game Changer? Anker EverFrost Powered Cooler 

I see an original Wave on the shelf! The wave 2 is crap, though. My one doesn't have heating mode (I call it a "wave 1.5", because it only does cold!) and took some jiggery-pokery to set it up in my tiny Japanese apartment. It DOES cool the main room (which is probably much bigger than the spaces it's meant for cooling), slowly, on all but the hottest days, though, but it takes a hell of a long time to do it in summer, whereas the installed mini-split cools the main room almost instantly (this with the sun blasting down on a flat roof and extreme humidity, mind you). The Wave 2 uses much less power, even on AC, and I can turn it on remotely as I leave work, though, which is pretty cool. You have to dig online (buried under page after page of websites that got given a free one to give it an "impartial" review, wink wink), but I've heard of people who know about air conditioners who have taken them apart and seen they're pretty much junk, really badly made and prone to fail. I'm just waiting for mine to jam it's fan or vent it's coolant. I'm honestly not expecting it to make it through the next summer. All of which is a bit strange, since DC-powered air conditioners that can work for decades, standing up to all sorts of vibration, jolting and extremes of temperature have been around for a very long time... in cars! Can't somebody just put one of them in a portable box and give it a "reverse gear" for heating?

that is actually a great point... will ad it to the list of things we dont like if we see it again in the future!

I need one this size that has one large, not two smaller.

Where are you buying ice for a $1? I just paid $4 bucks for a bag!

@@melissasmith3082 A better question is, why are you paying $4 for a bag of frozen water?

Maybe I'll Anker swap it instead?😂

@TheSolarLab hey look, as long as its not another "the worlds first tesla swapped blah blah" ill watch lmao

What’s his car channel I can’t remember the name

@@SemadOfficial robbie ferreira or robbie Ferreira builds. He got like 3 different channels

Thanks a lot I’m subbed and could not for the life of me remember his name lol

We gave rough time estimates for all the 3 different size coolers and how long they last in the video! 6:05

ok can you run it with a portable powers station and have 2 100watt solar panels connected to the portable power station

Most 12 volt fridges run between 45 and 65 watts. I have cheap ones that run like that in max mode and run 35 watts in eco mode. Your start up is probably closer to 100 watts but that is at start up only.

the ice metled because it was off? The test was if its a cooler when it isn't on LOL.

It's modern marketing. Today you got to completely trash talk the prior generation tech just to make the stuff you're selling even look good. I hope Anker is into this type of marketing. 😢

@@slomotrainwreck we’re not selling anything! Just providing honest experience. Innovation is generally a good thing!

@@TheSolarLabthey said that when Napalm was first made too.

There was a guy on here that reviewed the 50l anker cooler and he pulled it through sand and it broke his machine. So yea your right don't pull it through sand
