I have had an Icybreeze for 3 years. I really like it but you have to understand what this is. It will not cool a room. You need to have it constantly blowing on you and it will cool you off. The ice will melt in a few hours. The more water you have on the bottom the longer the ice will last. Also, you can freeze your own blocks of ice to make it last longer. I have uses this in my truck driving 200 miles in the middle of the day with the sun blaring on me and 92 degrees outside. Holding the vent in front of my face while driving I was able to not sweat for the first two hours.
The owner said in a video to stand those icy blocks on their side and fill water ¾ of the way up. So a lot more water than u have in there. Maybe it will help maybe not
Getting a dedicated freezer for the back room. Will use freezer in summer months to freeze gallons of water jugs and smaller bottles and some regular old freeze packs and use solar charged battery to run cooler. Can run freezer often with other solar battery so I wont be using grid power much for that. Switch jugs during the day to keep it going cold and strong. Reviews seem great provided you use constant ice cold water and keep it as cold as can be for as long as you can. Large frozen jugs take much longer to melt. I could supplement house ac sometmes for good spot cooling and to use in the classic car. I'll put it on the passenger or rear floor and just shoot the air right on me. Should work for that, and would seem great at a long red light in the middle of the summer. I think I'll get one.
@@AGuThing Thanks for asking! Have a 1000w ecoflow lifepo4 solar generator with 2000w smart battery that I charge with a 400w allpowers portable solar panel. Also have 1500w and 300w allpowers units. I put the panel on patio in the sun and run line inside while charging the units. The fan on the icybreeze doesn't draw power worth worrying about, just want to run the freezer with the battery to save a few bucks on electric.
Game changer now I'm looking at a cool boss coolee (look it up). Just found yesterday online didn't know of it before. Definitely more expensive but has 2 outlets 2 fans and double size radiator I could g.a.s. about the blue tooth speakers as 2 outlets is a game changer. Same size as icybreeze but more $$$ but comes with absolutely everything like 2 batteries chargers wall plugs and built in solar for under 600.
These will never work apart from just blowing a little cool air directly on you. 10 pounds of ice has 1,440 BTUs of cooling capacity. A typical vehicle AC has an output of about 15,000 BTUs per hour. Essentially, you would have to melt an entire cooler of ice every 5 minutes to cool down a car effectively.
