Zero Breeze Mark 2 Review 

Love the way you deliver your videos . Just plain English and informative. Thanks

Hey Brian. I have been using mine while boondocking. I run it thru my bluetti and 4 panels. I curtain off a small space on my camper. Life saver

I’ve watched a lot of the reviews on this product, this is the best review by far. Very thorough, excellent thanks mate!

Great Info. I had to watch 5 other reviews to get the info and breakdown u showed If only I had come across this one first 😵‍💫🙃 Alot of people compare these to 5k window units and the square footage covered in homes so glad u broke down how different that is compared to a camper/rv/van.

The Mark 2's battery is designed to be charged separately, providing convenient options for users. I bought two batteries, so that i can charge one while using the other, ensuring continuous operation.

First things first. For clarity, let's get the prices right out front. This 2800 BTU unit is $999, and the battery is an additional $699. The combo package comes in at $1499. The cheap 5K BTU Frigidaire window unit on Amazon is currently $159. A Black&Decker 8K BTU rolling portable unit costs $329. So clearly, this kind of engineering has a very high price tag. If I were to buy this unit (which I wouldn't), I would not buy the battery, but instead buy another portable power station I could charge via solar dedicated to the AC. So while I think this unit is a little bit nuts, I thank you for the clearest, most understandable review of it that I've seen. From a DIY point of view, this is anything but. If I'm building a $100K Mercedes diesel Sprinter Van build out that's Instagram-worthy, then OK maybe this makes sense to show I have the coolest stuff. I'm still looking for a boondocking A/C solution for my Class C, but this is not it. "A" for effort, though. 😉 EDIT - I would not bother spending the money to review the EcoFlow Delta if you haven't already. It's got all the same problems as this one, is also very, very expensive, and is proprietary to boot. People can see the reviews on HoboTech's channel - you've got better things to do.😄

Anything to help get a good night sleep when you have to get up and tear down camp and drive all day is a great investment so your well rested for the day ahead

Thanks for this review; I'd seen previous videos of this device being "busted" as an iniegogo scam, and it seems this company did itself no favors with adverts of smiling people on beach loungers in an open-air environment "enjoying" air conditioning. As you say, there's a very specific use-case for a device like this and I can understand why it's gotten such a bad reputation with marketing missteps like that.

Thanks

Fantastic!! You did your homework!

Thanks for this video. I've been thinking about one of these for a while now, but was worried about the build quality. Still trying to figure out how to keep it portable and run the ducting for our small Teardrop. Probably set the unit on a table or the tongue box and duct cool air and return through ports mounted to a door window. Would likely primarily use connected to shore power. Looking forward to your look at other unit you mentioned when you can afford that.

Fantastic info

I am thinking about just making a super insulated sleep chamber in my camper with just enough room to sleep, sit and stand comfortably. The Zero Breeze would probably be able to keep it 70 degrees with no problem.

I think this is cool (heh) stuff. Yes, it's price-prohibitive at this point but that will change in time. The low power draw running on DC is what changes everything. I view this very similarly to the 12v coolers that are so prolific now. As the secop compressor is mimic'd and made by more manufacturers, nice "mid-tier" units are out there at affordable prices - making them a great choice for boondocking versus a standard AC/household unit. I feel these direct current air conditioning units (DC/AC...or AC/DC units?) will evolve and follow a similar trajectory. Prices will come down...they will be available in various footprints and BTU ratings so you'll be able to pick what suits you. There will be more options. This is still pretty nascent tech with only two real products out there doing it. I'm glad they are blazing the trail. Like many, I can't justify the current cost - but I imagine in time, I might. I'd wager the market will eventually force them away from proprietary connections like Ecoflow's to allow compatibility with a broader range of standard connections.

I'm really interested in your review after using this for a couple weeks in a hot environment. This has looked like a good fit for the bushwacker. But there are other reviews out there where people have used it beyond what it is designed to do and have not recommended it.

Great easy to follow review Brian, can't justify the cost though, lol

I've been checking this bad boy out for years. It's a good alternative for some situations but if I had the 1000$+ to spend I would probably stick with a battery power system.

this would have been great for the tacoma situation.

Very good review. I now have a few questions that I could look up, but it wouldn't help others if I just find the info myself😁. Ok, So if I used the unit outside and "piped" it into my teardrop, is the unit waterproof or do I need to install it in an enclosed location? That brings up the second question. If it is installed in a tongue box for example, with the intake and exhaust lines routed through ports drilled into the box, will I also need vent holes to keep the unit from overheating? In other words, will the unit keep itself cool if it is in a sealed box?

Thank you for the informative review. I was looking to get the Zero Breeze Mark II for a Bushwhacker rally I'm going to in NC next month (other trips too but the one next month is my first hot summer trip planned with no electric hookups). I was told my campsite is mostly shade so I am wondering what type of portable power station I will need to run the unit for a few hours each night. I already have a 1000w solar Jackery but was planning to get a Goal Zero power station too but what level will I need to run this unit? I am struggling to get info that clarifies the energy needed to run this in my Bushwhacker 10HD. I'd rather have the power station than invest in the battery for the Zero Breeze, but want to make sure I have the juice to run it. I'd appreciate any help you can offer on how to set myself up with the energy needed for the Zero Breeze.

Damn I thought we were cool with our pizza oven. Brian out here with a whole ass a/c. What's next? Portable wine cellar??

🍻

The fact that it has an inlet and an outlet means it is way more efficient than a wheeled portable AC.

Thanks for sharing but I do find the Mark 2 lacking in power since it only has 2300BTUs.

what would you think about this in a sailboat? 120 sqft with 6ft ceilings.... and half of that is 3 feet ceilings - in bedrooms....? supplemented by fans. Sunshades on the deck of the boats to keep directed heat off. Many time its high 80s and 90s...just want it tolerable like 70's

Hey man, you said it has timers? I can’t find any info on the timers in the manuals? Can you elaborate

Have you tested Ecoflow portable air con ?

So what would the disadvantage and advantage of having the intake inside your truck topper? Wouldn't it be colder air coming out by re-circulating the already cooled air?

How many amps 12v DC does it consume?

Love your channel, I was wondering if you still have the schematics for the Bushwhacker 10 hd, if so can you please send me a copy? I'm modifying my trailer & it would be great to know where all the studs are located. Cheers

This thing sort of reminds me of the proton pack from Ghostbusters.

Good review but for the price it is asking. I really can't justify getting one.

Bad advise to put the input duct outside. Stop trying to cool the outside air. Cool the inside air and force the exhaust outside.

Man I need to start a RU-vid channel just to get free stuff to "review." 🤣🤣🤣
