It looks like a decent AC. You gave it a legit review... not too harsh and not too easy on it. On a budget, it'd hit the right spot for a lot of folks.
I always believe in giving g a honest review on all the products I test. I turn a lot of products away that I don’t think it would be beneficial to the viewers. Thanks for watching buddy!
Y'all gotta be tough with your heat/humidity in the south ! Most miserable I've been here in the good 'ol USA was Road Atlanta in the summer. Hot, humid and no wind moving. Being an old guy, when I camp in extreme heat or cold, I do so only where I have shore power.
Don't listen to comments that say put both hoses out the window. This is a two-stage air conditioner. I have one and I dismantled the case and looked inside. The front pulls in air from the side vent up front across its cooling radiator and out the front as cool air. The refrigerant is then pumped to the backstage to be cooled. The rear of the unit sucks in air from one hose across the rear cooling radiator to cool the refrigerant. The heat transferred from the refrigerant it is then pumped out the other hose outside. The refrigerant is then pumped to the front stage to begin the cycle again. So the front and back have their own fans and have their own cooling radiators and the only thing that is shared between the front and the back is the refrigerant. The front cools air and blows into the room the rear cools the refrigerant and returns it to the front. It would be less efficient to suck in the air from outside to cool the refrigerant so you keep the intake in the rear inside so the refrigerant is cooled quicker thereby making it more efficient. These units are not powerful enough to create some large vacuum that would suck in hot air from everywhere through the tent or the enclosure.
You have it set up wrong Both rear hoses should be out side of tent front has it’s own return around outside of front hose the front and rear are 2 separate closed systems what you did lowers the effectiveness you would have had a better result.
This unit does come with a battery but I do not have one so I used my Bluetti Power Station. So yes to your question, you are correct. In my comparison video, the ZeroBreeze unit, I do have a external battery that I use
@@sempergumbie ok I've been looking at some an wasn't sure about battery part unless I could use 120v ac plug in on generator or shore power. I have a battery solar powered generator like your bluetti. But I have COPD an I have to have electric of some kind all time so depleting my battery is not an option. I guess I need to look at the ones that plug into shore power or generator
rhettoracle, true enough, actual dryer vent hose is generally 4". However, if one does an amazon search for 3" dryer vent hose, you will see multiple hits for both 3 and 4 inch.. I was just trying to make it easy for folks to find whichever size they might need. Indeed, peace, friend !
@@929cbr_rrI’m looking for the expanding hose like the white one that comes with the u it so I can pack it away. I’m having a difficult time finding the 3”. My other AC units use the 4”. Thanks for commenting guys!

I don’t camp a whole bunch in the summer anymore. It’s too hot for Hoku. My camping adventures start in the fall!
Great review! I like that combo you used, but how long do you evaluate it would run off that BLUETTI AC50B?
This unit was okay but it ended up not as efficient as the Zerobreeze. I would recommend a ZeroBreeze instead.

I agree totally with you. Thanks for the detailed comments and I appriciate the support!
You have it set up wrong
Both rear hoses should be out side of tent front has it’s own return around outside of front hose the front and rear are 2 separate closed systems what you did lowers the effectiveness you would have had a better result.
BougeRV’s recommends that the other hose stays inside the tent to remove moisture content. My ZeroBreeze is the same. Thanks for the info!
Not having both back hoses outside creates a vacuum making the cooling process less efficient. Despite what they say id still put both hoses outside.
@@axemanjoe2945 thanks for the feedback!
Running on cool, my Enjoy cool runs at under 160 watts currently continuous
Cool
So if i followed you right you had it running off of the bluetti or the battery built into the ac.

BTW, where are you located, I assume TN?

8 ft of 3 inch vent hose is under $15 at Lowes and Home Depot, fyi
Thanks!
Heck yeah, dryer vent hose !
@@929cbr_rr Dryer vent hose is usually 4 inches diameter. The 3 inch is usually used for duct work in confined areas. Peace
