Anyone ever use or see a Zero-Breeze?
I've no interest in purchasing this, but I'm curious if any forum members have either seen or used one. Do they work at all?

It would be interesting to know the BTU rating or maybe I missed it. I have a feeling that it's quite low and maybe it's only good to make a cool breeze in one persons face.
I could see a possible use in a stinking hot situation cooling the bed area only, especially if it's relatively quiet.
So who's going to order one and give us some feedback?

From deep within the site...
Why choose 2300BTU instead of using 5000BTU with a higher cooling capacity?
From the principle of energy conservation, high power requires more power consumption. the energy consumption of small air conditioners is 3-4 EER and 450W for 5000BTU. If we use our current 630Wh battery, it can only work for more than 1 hour. Besides, the 5000BTU cooling capacity will make it bulky and cumbersome, and it will require a larger capacity battery. The battery will be bulky and lose the essence of portability.
Also, we don't want to use a high voltage for safety concerns. 24v will be safer. If the power consumption is 450w, the current will be close to 20A at 24v, which will bring hidden dangers to the users.
The space that needs to be cooled in outdoors is not too big. The 2300 BTU is enough for individuals, families of three, and small trailers, and the battery weight and input are suitable and safe.
And I'm not going to be the buyer...that price tag!!!

Yep, scary price.

Ok, good to hear. Do you have any personal experience with one?

An air conditioner is a heat pump. It moves heat from one side of the unit, to the other. With a window air conditioner has a barrier between the hot and cold sides (your window). If you have a small unit one end puts out slightly cooler, the other end puts out warmer air. If you want to spend almost a $1000 on something that does that, go for it.

If you read my original post, you'd see I'm not interested in buying one. I was merely asking if you had any experience with one.
Based solely on the video alone, I would agree that it's overpriced junk.

If you have no morals, it is a good way to make a couple million dollars ripping gullible people off.
As pointed out you can make one just using the guts of a 12 volt compressor style fridge, and a couple of computer fans.
After all as P.T. Barnum said 'There's a sucker born every minute'.
I for one think the people selling this are low life scum, but, that's just my personal opinion.

While that quote has often been attributed to P.T. Barnum, it is debatable if he actually ever said it.

The expression that comes to mind is "If it sounds too good to be true............."
Nice idea though. That video was a hoot. Showing it cooling folks in the great outdoors.

Actually, that might be the only place it would work. Enclose it & it would produce more heat than cold...
