That's probably a hard question for many people to answer now, at the beginning of winter.

#ICYBREEZE AIR CONDITIONER PORTABLE#

So you really have to ask yourself if portable air conditioning is worth $300 to you. The problem is, that's a lot of money to spend on a cooler, especially when you can get something similar-albeit minus the air conditioning-for about 50 bucks. The lowest setting is bearable, but on high, the IcyBreeze is actually louder than my home window AC unit.Ī Cooler Cooler?If you're willing to spend $350 on a cooler, the IcyBreeze won't disappoint. And no matter the speed, the air conditioner is pretty loud. You can really only cool one person at a time, since the gust of air isn't much wider than the 2.5-inch tube it's pushed out of. The hose itself measures 18 inches, so you can't exactly get it right up in your face, but the flow of air is pretty powerful, especially on the high setting. But if you're standing up, or you'd like more direct control over the airflow, you can also pull out the accordion-style air hose and point it wherever you'd like. If you're sitting next to the cooler you can feel the breeze by opening the vent on the side. Using an IR thermometer, I was able to measure temperatures as low as 37 degrees blowing though the hose, producing a breeze that felt downright icy.

I tested the cooler in the relatively controlled climate of the PC Labs, which tends to hover around 70 degrees. It takes about 20 seconds after turning it on for the cool air to kick in, but once it does, it can get up to 35 degrees cooler than the temperature outside of the cooler. The fan draws air through the radiator, chilling it in the process, and the air is then blown out of the vent or through the hose on top of the cooler. When you flip the switch on top of the cooler into one of three fan speeds, chilled water starts circulating through a radiator. Once you have power, water, and ice, you're ready to begin cooling. For testing I filled the cooler up with six trays of ice and 12 bottles of beer. After that you can add food, beverages, and as much ice as you'd like, as long as you can close the lid of the cooler completely. First you have to fill the cooler with two quarts of cold tap water don't worry, there's a helpful "Minimum Water Level" line marked clearly on the inside of the cooler wall. PerformanceSo how does the IcyBreeze work? It's actually kind of simple. The priciest pacakge includes a charger, wall power supply, car power supply, extension cord, and corded remote for $425. They cost around $40 each, though you can get them for less when purchasing as a bundle with the cooler. If you want to run the cooler continuously, IcyBreeze offers both wall and car power supplies.

When plugged in, a light on the charger will turn solid green to let you know you've reached a full charge. When not in use, the battery should last for 30 to 60 days. The built-in battery takes up to 5 hours to reach a full charge, after which it can last for up to 6 hours on low, 4 hours on medium, or 2.5 hours on high. The base model of the cooler comes with a 110V battery charger. It's a bit heavy, with a dry weight of 21 pounds, but the pull-out handle on the side makes it relatively simple to tote around. To give you an idea of capacity, it can hold up to 30 pounds of ice, or up to 49 cans. From the outside it measure 18.5 by 23.5 by 16.25 inches (HWD), while the interior measures 11 by 11.25 by 18.5 inches (HWD). The IcyBreeze is a midsize 38-quart cooler. You'll also find the integrated vent and flexible air hose, which I'll describe more in the next section. Next to that are ports to connect the power adapter as well as an optional corded remote.

There are two cup holder indents on top of the lid, as well as three-stop wheel to control fan speed. The plastic is of the thick, lightly textured variety, and the cooler has a well-built, premium feel. Available in blue, green, or red plastic, it has a gray lid and handle, and a pair of black wheels. Starting at $349, the IcyBreeze definitely isn't priced like your typical drink cooler, and a few issues hold it back, but there's no denying this digital home device is a fun, innovative way to stay cool.ĭesign, Capacity, and Battery For the most part, the IcyBreeze ( at Amazon) looks like a classic cooler. And it has a rechargeable battery, so you can stay cool whether you're on the beach, camping, or tailgating. It uses a fan, along with the chilled air inside the cooler, to blow a constant breeze of cool air up to 25 miles per hour at up to 35 degrees below the outside temperature. And it is, but it's also an air conditioner. The IcyBreeze looks like a standard cooler you'd pack full of drinks and sandwiches and wheel onto the beach.

We've come a long way from the misting fan.
