IcyBreeze - A Cooler that keeps YOU Cool!

- This may be our favorite new product in 2021! We test a lot of products on Travels with Delaney each year but this one really has caught our attention. The Icy Breeze is a an American made cooler that holds 30 pounds of ice but it is so much more than just a cooler. It doubles as an air conditioner. Using special technology developed by the people at Icy Breeze, it takes the ice cold water from the the bottom of the cooler and circulates up to a series of coils and then back down into the cooler just as a traditional AC would do with freon. A fan with 3 settings blows the cold air on to you either through the vent or you can detach the flexible hose to direct the cold air where ever you want. You may be skeptical at first but this AWESOME cooler will totally exceed your expectations.
This is NOT a sponsored or paid ad. We paid full price for the cooler and just wanted to review it.

Great product review!!! We appreciate customers like you!! We are proudly made in the USA and offer a lifetime warranty -your fault or ours.
A few questions I see popping up are ice questions and salt. Please do not put salt in the unit. It’s not good for the pump. You could put salt into an icyblock or milk jug to keep your blocks of ice colder as long as the salt stays in a container of some sort.
How long will the ice last? That’s a tough question to answer because there are so many different factors. That’s like asking what is the mpg on your car. Are you on the highway, in the city, racing everyone around town? Are you running it high, what kind of ice are you using, do you have drinks and stuff in it? Those things seem small, but they change the run time by 50%. Some ice at the store is almost melting when you get it while other ice is frozen solid with lots of energy left. To give you a general answer I would say you can expect 2-3 hours of very cold air and then it will gradually increase until the water is not only out of ice, but the water is no longer cool. That takes care of what most people need it for. If you want longer run times you can simply throw in another bag of ice when you need it or use larger blocks of ice like frozen water bottles or our IcyBlock. That will double the run time generally. Ice is a LOT cheaper than gas. Even if you had a loud generator running to run an AC you will still use gas. Everything uses something for energy. The IcyBreeze is designed to be portable, quiet, and very effective without a power source. It uses ice, so that is the small trade off. There is no other product on the market in the world that does what it does. Also keep in mind it is a great fan blowing hard air just like any fan you might try to plug-in and use. So, even if you run out of ice it is still an effective cooling source. I hope this info helps.
We absolutely love the IcyBreeze and the fact that it's an American Made product that is so well built. Thank you for all the great info. I have pinned this comment to the top of the thread so others will see it.
Its a swamp cooler. It doesnt remove humidity from the space. Sooooo, there are plenty of units that work the same. Just because you add a heat exchanger doesnt change the fact that your condensate is recirculated.
Not a Swamp Cooler.
The IcyBreeze does not create humidity. The condensation goes back in to the cooler. Unlike a swamp cooler that uses the water to evaporate to cool the environment.
The IcyBreeze is forced cold air.
@@waywardwhippets2555 exactly, the condensate is going into the cooler. Guess what also is not isolated from the cooler? The airstream. The condensate moisture will be reintroduced to the space.
Can you put frozen 2litter bottles in for the ice.
Thank you for product review. I like this cooler- air conditioner. I would like to get one. It looks great for doing both. Thank you Patrick! See you soon. Stay safe.
We love it already!
You do such great, no-nonsense, practical reviews. Nicely done. Now I've got one more thing I 'need'.
Thank you so much! I apologize in advance....some of my friends say I am a bad influence! LOL
@@TravelswithDelaney - well, at least I trust your bad influence. 😇
@@straightshooter6309 LOL!
Love it!! So happy that Russ and Kerry have it in Teddy now - perfect fit for the dinette area now that they have the lagun table leg too! (Leave it to our pets to give the testimonials on how quiet it is, huh?) ~💜
it was so much fun hanging out with them! I told Russ that them buying ours for Jack was the best testimonial the company could get. Now I have to get another one ordered for us.
This thing is for real. I used it last summer at work and it blows COLD dry air no matter how hot it is. If you combine bagged ice with freezer shock ice packs, the ice will last a little longer
Thank you for sharing your experience with it. We were blown away with how well it works,
I have those shock packs medium and big sizes. I also have yeti ice and ozark trail ice blocks. Those shock ice packs are THE coldest of the bunch . They actually hurt to hold. Was wondering how they wouldd fare along with ice in the icy breeze.
OMG. We just had ours delivered yesterday while we were out camping. We will be unboxing it tomorrow! Got the Pro V, AC cord, DC plug and the 10AH battery. Looking forward to our next camping trip as well as all the gkids baseball and softball games.
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it Liz! Russ and Kerry love it and so do we once we get our replacement! LOL
Cool! Would have been such a life saver pre air conditioning in the 50s in Alabama.
Thank you for sharing and be safe.
Thank you!
Thanks for this. Not something I would have thought I needed! LOL
Wow - interesting! What a clever design.
I thought it was a little gimmicky at first, but then thought about all the different possible uses and realized this is probably a pretty good thing.
Honestly I was thinking the same as you and even started doubting myself after I ordered it. But after getting it and trying it out, I am convinced. And you are right....so many different possible uses.
The "Extreme Cold" is the power switch for the pump to work. That is why it feels much colder.
Without it on it's in fan mode.
Sounds perfect for my A frame pop up camper
I could see if used with all sorts of trailers and even tents.
Made in the USA. We need more companies to do this.
Agreed!
So cool! (sorry, I couldn't resist...lol) Great review as always!!!
LOL! That’s a good one Joyce!
I’m writing to ask for an updated opinion on this cooling system. I watched your video after it’s posting and am considering purchasing one. Thanks for your time and great videos.. Dan - Mobile AL
So far, we love it! We will really be putting it to the test this summer once we hit the road in June.
I jus bought a used one 2 days ago for $200, yes works great for my needs, jus need to have easy excess to ice. I can run this thing for nearly 20hrs with my bluetti ac200p.
Very interesting product for sure!
It's going to be great for our dogs this summer. We can be setting outside with them and this will help keep them cool
Would this unit keep your 2 dogs comfortable in your truck when you stop and park (engine off) it was 85 degrees outside?
I started RV transport late last fall and have built a nice bed in the back seat of my F350. I didn't idle my truck all night this past winter as I have a good sleeping bag and enjoy sleeping cold. Now I'm trying to figure out something for the spring and summer/hot weather. How do you think it would work in a crew cab truck in the summer after the sun goes down? I have the reflective shades for my windows too. If the truck is cooled off good with the a/c then turn the icy breeze on and go to bed--do you think one could stay comfortable for the night? It probably compares in size to the tear drop you mentioned. Probably using block ice most of the time too and it would pull double duty for drinks and lunch meat as well.
I think it probably would. We were shocked at how well it worked in our friends teardrop trailer. They used it last week overnight when they did not have power to run their AC and they said it worked great for them overnight.
I recently bought one, and they were offering a free 10AH battery with the IcyBreeze. I wanted one, and was ready to pay the $100 for the battery. When I realized I could get the battery for free, I went ahead and made the purchase. I was wondering how long the offer would last before it went away, and supposedly today is the last day of the offer. If you are on the fence like I was, take advantage of the free battery.
Just got mine delivered an hour ago with the free battery AND free shipping. The free shipping tipped me over the edge to purchase it 😁
@@ruiz212 Yeah, I got the free shipping, too. I don't know if it was honey that set that up, but the free shipping was just icing on the cake, cause the free battery already tipped me over the edge.
I’m tempted to get this cooler. Love that it’s made in USA. Could you keep track of how often you use it in, say the next 6 months? I’ll make my decision by how valuable you feel it is then😊
I am sure you will see it in several of our travel videos this summer. We will keep you posted.
Thanks. I’ll be watching!
Sorry if I missed it, do you know the watt usage on high with the 110 power supply? Great video, thank you.
Its low, a cell phone charger will run it
I know it doesn't product humidity but how does it affect humidity in the space?
Would think hanging a tarp inside rv to wall off a section might keep it cool / comfy?
I'm sure it would..maybe make a "tent" out of reflectics material, for some insulation.
I actually viewed a video by the manufacturer this morning and saved the website.. then I saw your timely video.. I believe it’s worth further investigation and I’m inclined to make the investment. Thanks for your comments and keep these great vids coming. And welcome to my neck of the woods.. Dan - Mobile AL
Thank you Dan! We had a wonderful time last week down there. A gorgeous area. We will definitely return.
Remember parents saying: "Close that door! Do you think we are trying to [cool/heat] the whole neighborhood?!" And all I would want the IcyBreeze to do is cool our 6x10 Cargo Trailer Conversion in the summer to sleep... in the South. Concerned about its effectiveness because of humidity, though.
It definitely has some limitations but I do think we will put it to good use when we are off grid and need to cool ourselves down. It won't cool a whole trailer but it will make us more comfortable. We also plan to use it outside with the dogs to help keep them cool in the summer if we are setting outside.
Dewalt batteries do work for it. 18 and 20 volt
Thanks for sharing! I will have to try mine on it.
will this help cool down a 10x10 pop up canopy tent that has all 4 walls enclosed? we attend car shows during the summer and need a way to help keep us and our bulldog cool.
It definitely will help. It’s not going to keep the room cold but your bulldog will sure appreciate the cold air blowing on them.
please give us a follow up on how well it ACTUALLY works in the Lance trailer.
Will do! Going to put it to the test this summer.
Good video thank you l like that cooler
Thank you Bill! I really liked that color too.
Would it put a lot of humidity in the air from the ice melting? The old swamp coolers people hung on the car windows put too much moisture in.
According to the company videos I watched, they say no. They are very adamant that it is not a swamp cooler. The few days we used it in Gulf Shores, we were not seeing a lot of humidity from it.
@@TravelswithDelaney that sounds pretty impressive. Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a well thought out system.
I'm kinda tempted, but it's pretty expensive once you add in all the extras. Plus, according to their website, the ice doesn't last long, so you'd need a nearby source of ice to replenish it. In spite of that, I'm still considering it as a way to cool down the 400 before we have the cooler night air. What to do??
Russ and Kerry used it a few weeks ago. The power went out where they were staying and they said it was a life saver. Not sure how hot out it was. It would definitely help keep you cool with it blowing on you. We will have ours with us this summer so if you want to wait, you can see ours in person and try it out.
Use frozen containers instead of ice.
Dewalt battery does run it.
Did u actually try a Dewalt battery in it where u saw it didn't work? Id just change the + & - terminals around on cooler to the battery u already have to make it work, that definitely doesn't look like a 10ah battery, looks more like a 6ah compared to a Dewalt or Milwaukee size battery
Got one. It’s great
We used ours this summer and it worked great!
The only boat 🚤 with cruising AC. 😎 🧊
Well, guess it would come in handy for boon dockers (using the battery feature). Camping anywhere else were it is hot you will need hook up's or something else to run your campers air conditioning. .Just seems to me another gadget to haul along. Camping or glamping.... ...Just saying, but I still enjoy all your video information.
It's going to be very good for Truman and Bess this summer. If we are setting outside, this will provide some cool airflow . They are prone to heart stroke so this will allow them to be outside yet keep their body temps lower. It's definitely not for everyone but for some it can be a very good item to have.
Man I could have used that in a few of my first apartments. ( Genius Games sent me a puzzle to review, does that mean it's sponsored Ive never had a reason to answer yes to that TH-cam question yet LOL ) Jacks approval seals the deal!!
perfect for boats too that have a small cabin
Did you review the puzzle? LOL.
@@TravelswithDelaney not yet it was a medical thing and is actually the insides of a person I think there are 7 or 8 puzzles that make up a full size human inside view, the sent me 3 I was going to donate them to a local middle school biology class. they are actulally really nice quality. but not my Disney Kincade im used to LOL
@@NixPix oh wow!
6:09 9:52 The extreme cool button just turns the pump on/off
Thank you for that information.
Can use ice packs
Extreme cold turns on the pump.
Icy cool video... no pun intended :)
LOL! Its amazing how well it works. Can't wait to get another one ordered...we are definitely going to put it to use this summer.
Looks like a great product. I have to wonder how well it would work with the Florida summer heat & humidity. During the summer, our rig won't cool down until the sun goes down. That unit might just help get it cooled down a little quicker. Thanks for sharing! Steve
We figure it will at least give us cold air in our faces and will also help to keep Truman and Bess cool. It won't cool a whole trailer (well except for maybe a small teardrop) but it will help to keep us cool
Pretty sure your ACs need servicing probably need to clean your coils
Seems what’s old is new again. Engineering is interesting that way although swamp coolers work great for garages and large open areas. In the early days of produce and meat transport before refrigeration units insulated train cars and semi trailers used a system similar to this. The technology worked when, for example trucks, would stop for fuel or food at a truck stop they would pay a guy to shovel ice into a compartment on top of the trailer a gas engine used to power a fan system would circulate the cold air inside the trailer keeping perishable food cold until getting to the warehouse.
Love that story! Thank you for sharing.
what was the point of this ? this isn’t a swamp cooler . did you even watch the video?
Your using an infrared thermometer. Your taking the temp of the plastic inside of that air hose not the actual air temp..
Use blocks of ice
There is an ice company by me that sells 25 pound blocks of ice.
In my regular cooler it lasts so much longer.
Those would work great in the IcyBreeze
Where does the air intake from?
It circulates the cold water through series of coils and a fan blows across the coils creating cold air.
@@TravelswithDelaney the fan has to pull air in from somewhere.. if the lid is closed where does the air come from?
@@ChillinwithCav I honestly don't have that answer for you on that.
The lid is specially designed and allows the air flow.
You can almost see the perforation looking straight at it. It does not completely seal shut like some coolers.
That is Amazing! It provides so much flexibility. What is the storage capacity?
Lou & Angie
You are right...it is so flexible with so many uses. It can hold 30# of ice with 38 quarts of cooler space.
@@TravelswithDelaney Wow! That's a lot of storage.
Lou
@@EatSleepRVRepeat It's a decent size cooler but what makes it really special is the AC feature.
That would be great to keep pets cool when you're sitting outside with them. (For those pets that are used to A/C
That's what we think too. Truman and Bess get hot quickly so this is a way for us to get them outside and still keep them cool when camping
@@TravelswithDelaney quick question: I went online to see the ordering information and was confused on all the different ways to run them and also didn't understand all the extras. I wonder if I could call the company and they would explain
@@jwills6883 My guess is you probably can. I just ordered ours online. I am sure they have a customer service number on their site.
I just ordered mine
If you poured some rock salt on that ice in the cooler, you probably could cool your RV :-)
Ok, I'm done kidding around. I just ordered one! Thanks
And make ice cream in it too! LOL
BEWARE! I have one that will not turn on now after one use. The company number goes to voicemail but voicemail is full. No follow-up on Facebook.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. We’ve had ours a year without issue.
It doesn’t matter weather or not it works if the company that produces it takes no responsibility for their actions! They admitted that their computer screwed up my order and caused me many problems at my bank including overdraft fees and I was told to go pound sand. If they have no problem screwing you from the start, do you really think they are going to stand behind a lifetime warranty? I don’t. I received mine a couple days ago and it doesn’t work as well as they state. It’s going back. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Stick with the Yeti. Buy a fan, better option.
Thanks but I will stick with my IcyBreeze.
68 to 70 you don't even need a cooler
This is nothing but a swamp cooler.
Does a swamp cooler have coils that cold water is circulated through like Freon? Asking for a friend.....
@@TravelswithDelaney the coil with water circulating through gives the ILLUSION that it is not a swamp cooler.
So, the moisture from the space you are trying to condition condenses onto that coil (heat exchanger). The condensate then drips into the cooler below. Then, as air is circulated, the condensate can be picked back up and reintroduced to the "conditioned" space. This is why the humidity remains high. The condensate is NOT effectively isolated or removed from the space(i.e. conventional AC).
Therefore, it is a swamp cooler. A swamp cooler with some smoke and mirrors, marketing, and more moving parts. Still gonna be a sticky mess.
@@lukem7464 Thank you for clarifying. We ran it this weekend for over two hours in the trailer and the humidity according to our Waggle Pet Monitor showed only a 4% increase. It does exactly what we need it to do when we are off grid.
@@TravelswithDelaney so, it added humidity. I dont know about you, but removing humidity actually makes it more comfortable in summer. Depends on your climate...if you are in a low humidity region, the swamp cooler may be ok. Nevertheless, this unit does not remove humidity...so the owner is false advertising it as similar to an "AC unit".
@@lukem7464 If we see humidity is an issue, we may get a small dehumidifier to use. So far, the cooler is working great for our needs. Its well built and comes with a lifetime warranty so we are very happy with it. I honestly don't care what they call it, it does what we want it to do. Its nice to have really cold air blowing on us when we don't have power and the RV is 80 degrees inside.
