This is a great AC but one thing i am worried about is the evap. and condenser. i am worried bcause they should have a filter and without one they will get colged/dirty fast.
The incentive is a mere gesture. Its not enough to influence me
Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
definitely a neat product, but at at $1500 for the AC alone and $2300 when you add on the battery, I don't see this being much more than a trendy lifestyle product to appeal to the van-lifer/overlander influencer type. Totally unattainable to the average consumer.
Yeah my portable 14k btu unit was 479 on Amazon with free shipping.
I just looked up the price and it's selling for a whooping $6,999. and that does not include tax and shipping
Idk…. I think it has a lot of applications especially if you live on the gulf coast where you have the threat of power outages from hurricanes for 80 days in the summer and random storms the remainder of the year.
I’ve been looking at portable AC units and nothing like this is out there. If it costs $1200 as an early bird, I’m certain it will definitely be out of reach for the avg consumer by the time Home Depot and lowes get ahold of it.
WOW! That is more than a central air unit.
@@Couchfarmer I was hoping to someday power a tiny window air conditioner from solar. Can`t afford the batteries. Hell, I can`t afford food since Satan became president.
I realize this is a good product, but $2,500 for a pre-order seems pretty steep.
Okay, apologies, that price was for a package deal. This unit is $1,200. Still not something I am willing to pay.
I'm a little crazy but I'm not nuts, Plus how long could the battery last? Maybe we'll see the price go down in the next 10 years.
It’s a price of a mortgage 😂
Wow ecoflow is making some really cool stuff, I love how they keep the exhaust air separate from the inside air so that your not wasting cooling power.
@@tboman4128 so if you watch the video they have both an intake and output hose for the condenser "hot side" of the unit. On most portable air conditioners they just pull in a part of the inside air you just cooled which is normally a big drawback of portable units vs window/static units.
Looks great but seriously from $1100 to $4000 ! I don't think so.
its more for the youtubers or more for like the people who always have extra cash laying around
I bought one of these and the first thing I noticed was a horrible squealing noise whenever the compress kicks in. I sent a video to Ecoflow support and they suggested a software update. Low and behold that fixed it! Just in case someone had the same issue wanted to share.
I bought one for car camping, got it in a bundle with the delta max and then I bought an extra smart battery. Expensive? Yes very, but worth it to me. What people fail to see with this product is running it from dc power which is way more efficient. I can run this all night in 98 degree heat. It only takes 2 hours to recharge my batteries with a generator or shore power. If I added solar I could dual charge. So running this off of a battery overnight vs running a generator over night is the biggest plus. It cools my car very well. Money well spent in my book. It’s not just limited to this application, I can put in in my rv, tent, small room in the house ect. Next I am going to buy the smart generator. I’m well pleased with my purchase.
I'm very impressed on the test you made out in the sun. It does show the Wave does really work can produce cold air wherever you place it.
I did not expect that the Delta Pro can power the Wave. Now that is a game changer.
600W is nothing to the Delta Pros 3600W capability. You could run 4 of these at once with the Delta Pro and as long as you have enough incoming power it would run indefinitely since the pro can charge at like 5400Ws with solar, AC, and generator.
Well it runs refrigerators I mean come on it's really only the startup that takes a high wattage on most appliances once they're running the wattage is not much and a refrigerator will run at like 175 to 300 W this is an AC running at 500 W 600 W
Definitely glad I stumbled across your channel . definitely one of the most useful channels out there 😊👍👍👍
That airconditioner looks pretty nice especially when you attached both brackets in the front and the back.
Too expensive for me at this moment. Waiting for prices to go down! Excellent reviews silvercymbal!
I think this will work. They redirected any water that may build up to the heating tubes which is actually smart.
Awesome piece of technology I figured it would be expensive and it is.
I wish this existed when I was in college. Most of the places I rented didn't have central AC and I moved places every term so having a portable unit like this would have been a nice luxury.
Just get one that moves on wheels, much cheaper and still somewhat portable
@@alexm7777 much cheaper but sooo mucchh more inefficient, if your in an apartment, sadly you gotta go for the portable
If this battery AC units become popular and start selling some, I guarantee that big boy manufacturers will jump on it and reduce cost to be more affordable.
I live in the northern country in Europa in Estonia. Just bought Ecoflow Delta Max and smart generator, and did some tests, plugged in water pump, freezer and some other devices and the system worked very well. I can run my house with 4 liter of petrol ca. 24 hours, for heating I use wooden furnace, wood comes from my own property. I can live off grid some months. Although petrol price here is ca. 2 usd per liter, but at least in the emergency time it is possible to survive. But it is must to have some petrol in storage
goddamn dont chop your trees down just buy some wood
I live full time in my RV (a 32' Winnebago Brave) on my land in the high desert of southern Arizona - to run the RV generator will burn 1/2 a gallon of gas an hour - I don't have the type of windows that would allow me to use a window a/c or I would, so I opted to getting a portable a/c on rollers 8000 Btu ($280) and park between the 2 front seats and a 2500 watt suitcase style generator on sale at Walmart for ($380) and ran the hoses out the passenger side slider window. The generator burns 1 gallon of fuel for almost 5.5 hours and runs my portable a/c with no problems. I set it up outside using a heavy duty extension cord. I am usually outside in the morning doing chores or running errands. By about 3 pm is the hottest part of the day and that is when I am finished with my day. I put a gallon of gas in the generator and turn on the a/c and it will run till about 8:15 / 8:30 leaving me nice and cool. When the gas runs out around 8:30 is when it starts to cool down outside and that's when I turn on my fans for the rest of the night and run off my batteries. The bad part, this portable a/c pretty much only cools down the living room and kitchen area of the RV. My bedroom is in the back which is blocked by the walls to the bathroom. If it could cool my bedroom also it would be perfect. For me this is my best solution to get a/c and stay cool for the summer. With me being retired on a fixed income there is no way I would spend $1500 to $4000 for this tiny unit and batteries. For under $700 I have a generator I can use all the time to run anything I need including tools and a top notch portable a/c that keeps me cool during the hottest parts of the day.
You can install a roof top dometic and get a 2kw e start generator for the cost of the wave ac alone.
The prices mentioned by you $280 & $380 are almost like regular window ACs in India so they are quite cheap to pocket
@@thestone3849 not really,
I am thinking that this will be perfect for those summer camp outs.
Been waiting for something like this, wish it was on sale. I’ll be waiting for sure!
Great review as always, it’s seems a quality product but the price itself is the downside. Work shops or tool sheds places that don't usually contain air conditioning or maybe you are visiting friends overnight and no air conditioner. I can see some use but I probably have it end up like a lot of kitchen appliances use it a few times and then it sits somewhere unused.
1,499.00 Is very reasonable for a battery powered AC hehe
I live in an RV while I get my life back together. I had to leave KS where I was living in a house falling apart, and it's incredibly hot here! I live in the desert now and this RV AC unit hardly does a thing to keep it cool. I could really use something like that, but of course, it has to be so expensive nobody like me who really needs it can afford to buy it.
its too expensive! yes but if it hardly keeps cools get an extra ac with a much higher rated btu than your rv and keep the temp to 21 to try give the ac a bit of a helping hand
I was looking at the Zero Breez and this Wave is absolutely cheaper and more powerful at 4000BTUs when I compared both of them.
I am so used to being scammed by those swamp coolers that it is hard to believe anyone anymore! Luckily I am already a subscriber to your channel.
Me too. I have bought all of those, thinking they might work. All should be prosecuted for what they are selling. This one was so far above my expectations I am no kidding when I say I am blown away. I'm glad they took their time with this, unless something else comes out they are going to put the other company out of business.
I honestly would hesitate to believe this unit is a good buy either (though I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a scam). It is a 4000 BTU portable compressor AC for $1200. You can easily get portable ACs with double the BTUs for a third of the price. The only extra features seem to be the ability to add on a battery (for an extra $600), and that it is more portable in certain dimensions - it is about 23% smaller in overall volume compared to the random 4kBTU portable AC I found, but 34% larger in length where most portable ACs have a small footprint but are tall. It is also about 17% lighter. So if you need that particular form factor and the 17% difference in weight is important, it could be worth and extra $800?
I wish the video went into more detail about what sets this apart from any other portable AC aside from those fairly minor differences, if there is anything. I suppose the ability to seamlessly attach a battery is nice, but not $800 + $600 nice.
@@iguanamoat, The price I was presented was $2,499.
Edit: I just went back and looked again; $2,499 was for a package deal. I still agree with you about the price, though.
Now a true Swamp Cooler works in a dry arid environment. Those little “coolers” are not anything like those. Out in west Texas those are almost as cool as a real AC
@@allkindsofoutdooractivities too bad they don't work in the rest of texas
Great review, thank you!
It does seem that Ecoflow is going in the right direction with the Wave, It does make sense that the Wave can be powered by their power stations and making life off grid really a possibility.
Ecoflow is killing it
Seems like Wave ain't that heavy since you did not have problem carrying it around during the intro.
What an awesome product, I could really use this. I like to be cooler than the rest of the people living in my house, so it would be very useful for my room. And with the battery, it would also be nice because I could bring it onto my boat on hot days.
But the price is outrageous, and as much as I want this thing, that's way too much money. They need to reduce the price.
great to see your subs going so high. your videos are awesome 👍
This seems like a great product. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until the price goes goes down before considering getting one.
It's the only real portable A/C I've seen to..but damn 1500...that's insane
Here in FL the humidity gets 100% so yeah
Thanks for the coupon code. Will definitely take advantage of this.
As a Mass-hole now living in Las Vegas i picked up your accent instantly❤
is there any way to secure the unit with a lock or chain?
That thing is neat!
I’ve been looking for this kind of thing forever!!!!!
Do you have an adapter for the extra battery for the delta pro to XT150? Would love to see a max power run test.
Love your videos man always learn something new from your Videos
It seem pretty good for camping in the camping ground
Just did the pre order. Can’t wait for it to arrive!!!!!!
I have a $250 dual hose portable ac under the bed that exhausts and intakes through the rear van doors, by drilling 6 inch holes and capped by deck plates when not in use. $300 and great ac and is hidden under the bed. And higher btu's.
difference here is the amount of power draw.
@@aaadock this unit is pulling 550-600 watts. The portable ac pulls around 330-400. So no this isn’t better.
I did a similar install in my minivan last year, GEs smallest portable at 5000/7000 btu and I did convert it to dual hose operation (the only way to run a portable, its criminal they even sell single hose units!) by attaching a flange and hose to the coil air intake. I purposely selected a unit that has the intake on one side and isolated from other air. It vents out the rear side sliding door window through a bezel that seals tight. The exhaust hose is sleeved with rigid aluminum duct to keep its heat from radiating in the space.
Dont know what your ac brand is but IMO your power draw figures are optimistically low. I tested no less than 4 of the smallest portable ac units Ive collected in the last 2 years through a kill o watt meter, the least hungry draws about 6 amps at full cooling operation or about 700 watts, the rest closer to 800 and of course a lot more during start up.
I dont see a lot of potential for this eco wave thing its unique only in its power supply and I have 560ah of lifepo4, a 2000watt inverter and 2 solar panels as well as a predator 2k genny so Im good there.
It also looks like its not really set up to evacuate the heat it generates from the space youre cooling. Maybe thats a hose connection on the back but they show a hose connection on the front, like youd leave it outside and blow cold air in. So youre supposed to just park this $2k+ felon magnet outside your tent in a campground, outside your van, outside your bedroom window... Guess we just have to wait for the five finger discounters to list them half off on craigslist and offerup?
Dont know what you use for batteries but if its lead acid of any kind ditch em and move up to lithium. Theyre cheaper in the long run and you get back all the energy you put in. Half the weight too.
@@johnlucier5654 I have the same GE unit.
@@keeponkeepinon76 lowes had em for $300 last summer. I tested the first one I got with a thermal camera and infrared thermometer and wasnt real happy with the output temps so returned it for another which averaged about 5 degrees less. It tends to short cycle a bit tho so this summer I may rotate through it and 2 other older ones with the same small footprint I have from orher mfrs to see which works best.
I have a few Eco flow products and they are pretty very will thought-out and featureful but longevity has yet to be tested. This is a damn cool product, especially if you intend to use it for camping or in an RV or Caravan. You didnt speak on if this was an inverter based compressor to not but at this point it believe it using a standard compressor which will chew through batteries. I'll wait for future models of the Ecoflow Wave and hopefully it will be a more efficient model than this one.
My apologies , this is an inverter based AC so it is as efficient as you can get, and the two hose design also helps it run better compared to single hose models.
Yeah inverter acs are much much quieter than non inverters
Yeah, it’s pricey but it’s cool and should come down as competitors enter the market. I think it’s a neat product. I’m not sure I understand the design though. The exhaust is near the intake, but most portable units intake in front then exhaust in the back. I see the evap coils in front so not sure what’s going on
Is there any smell, odor, chemical, offgassing, etc.? Is it safe for those who are chemically sensitive? Also, does it need to exhaust outside (if using indoors)?
Looks great, but whilst I want one, I can't afford the price. I'd be happy to review it in UK.
How does this compare against the "zero breeze"?
this type of AC is pretty common in Europe. Usually they just have one hose for the hot air and are pretty inefficient. This one has 2 Hoses so the cold side and hot side are shielded. Also it seems to have an inverter so it can slow down when its not needed and doesnt cycle on off. I would love to see such a product and would by one immediatly.
inverters are quiet aswell
This video is incomplete without having shown the battery that "snaps" onto the bottom. Does it come with the unit, or is it an additional cost? How easily does it "snap" on? Is it rechargeable with a DC cig lighter outlet? What other types of recharging connectors does it come with?
This would be mint for outdoor sports or DJs.
How would you see using this for outdoor sports? I work in sports and I was trying to find a good excuse to buy this.
@@mowomedia4801 place on a table under an umbrella or pop up gazebo. Keeps staff and some exhausted players cool. The duct attached for the cold air supply could be used to direct cold air under football gear on the sideline. Or set it up in a dugout to keep the team cool.
Is this a reverse cycle air conditioner? Like can it also heat up the room instead of cooling it?
Having camped in Texas… if this works at all, it will sell like crazy.
what other electronics can you power while ecoflow is on?
I noticed that the temperature display was using the empirical Fahrenheit. Does that unit have a metric Celsius mode?
Thanks for sharing this video. I was supposed to get the Mark 2 but when I found out this has around 4000BTUs. I will just get this instead.
no mark 2 gid unit
too much money
It has about the same footprint as my 8k btu portable air conditioner that I got for 400 bucks. So it doesn't really save any space and it's waaaaay more expensive.
Do you mind posting the make/model of the unit you bought.
@walkerlucas I'm with Zakman would LOVE to know Make, Model even Supplier where you got your unit. Portable designed is great but I can make that happen . If you got a deal on your unit good for you but would still like the information 🤫😉
@@danam.8709 ...he's referring to the Portable room air conditioners, the same kind that are available at Walmart, and other Department stores. Like those made by Hisense, or LG, or by the other "Off brands" that are built by Qingdao Haier. @ZakMan
Yeah. Its kind of bulky, and to be truthful you can get a 6000 btu window u it that is 16 in wide, by 12 in high, and 13 in deep for under $225 and only weighs 40 pounds and cranks out way colder air than this expensive thing. My Midea 6000 btu window unit blows a whopping 43 degrees on an 85 degree day, and can cool my room to 62 degrees on an 85 degree day. There are plenty of videos on how to build in a small window unit in a camper, van or tent.
@@seangriffon6502 i need a 6k btu ac and i want one thats cheap,
Have you done a review or video on the Zero Breeze Mark 2? I’d be interested how the two compare. Thanks for this video!
byy it
For anyone who doesn't know this type of ac is called a heat pump. It functions by sucking heat energy out of the room and expelling the heat energy outside. That why you need to vent the ac outside or you are just sucking heat out of the room and then pushing it back in. Fun fact if you add a component( Don't remember what) that reverses the flow of the refrigerant then the ac can also function as a heater as well. But I don't think it would work well with portable units.
Aren't all AC's heat pumps? Also the component you speak of is called a Reversing Valve.
@@rondaxen88 yes thats right. But i nevdd said that a regular ac wasn't a heatpump
literally every single one of portable ac and window units are only cooling mode, for all modes and inverter its 30k or more, minisplits have heating mod and are the best to buy for home use,
I love how some people play that price of comfort is an issue when many spend well over that for car stereos and rims.🤣. Meanwhile driving around in a $100k vehicle but it's so expensive 😅
i know right! but yes, for an ac for over 1k dollars?!
Have you thought about leaving the whole unit outside and just ducting the cool air in via the duct?
Does it come with a 12v outlet power cord?
So it cools outside air only? It doesn't draw in the inside air and cool it?
4,000 btu is enough to keep family cool if they congregate into one room in case of brownout/blackout conditions. In Vegas' 110 degree heat, we would die without it, just need the battery to charge outside in the sun while the AC unit is working on the inside.
wow 2500 as pre-order. might as well get myself a new lawn mower.
Pair this with one of those jackery and a solar panel... would probably work 🤔.
I had two (2) A/c units one 4k BTU's and the other8K the downside was I had to pay a handy man to handle the install for the garage. I must tell you get what you pay for! The first unit took a crap within months and the second one went with my nephew after we moved from that property. I live in the California high desert where NOT having reliable A/c is not an option. Barstow is hotter than HELL!
having your ac on in barstow must be chowing your eletricity and overheating the ac
You had a battery. You could use the ext battery cable to connect the two and power the aircon with direct DC for better efficiency.
Thanks for the info! I was hoping to use this in my car for my dog, but those big exhaust hoses... :/ On the bright side just saved $1200ish dollars. Cheers
Could you review a hedge trimmer maybe? What do you recommend?
You might check if project farm has done a video.
Why no direct link to the a/c maker instead of a crowdfunding page ?
It is roasting in my apartment.
If I win my court case I hope to buy one next month and use it until I buy a 4 plex.
Thank you for the ductless a/c installation video.
How many hours can the generator run the ac ?
$5k? Holy crap!
The cheapest being $1199 USD, yeah no thanks.
But but the swamp cooler was invented by an MIT genius who dropped out of college to destroy the AC industry!
😂😂😂
but it just sucks and it uses ICE which was freezed by a FREEZER that works just like an AC! this MIT guy really wants to be famous and become history
or well b part of history
Can you plug it on the wall while running or you need bettery
Thanks for sharing
Positive Comment
The numbers put it as a pretty regular heat pump system, just a bit fancy. Both power consumption and temperature range is pretty ad hoc with other portable systems. Gotta give it to it though, it is pretty compact and lightweight compared to what's on the market.
Take a look as they have a brand new one that just came out. It is a true heat pump and lighter, very nice upgrade. th-cam.com/video/yZavrHJsBAw/w-d-xo.html Does heat too!
But the price is outrageous, and as much as I want this thing, that's way too much money. They need to reduce the price.

Does the intake hose have to be outside
How will you clean the evaporator when there's no filter?
i also saw that, i think there is, but hopefully you can open it and clean it, since well, we never got told on how to
I was supposed to get the Mark 2 but when I saw that the Wave had 4000BTUs, I made a 180 degree turn and will be getting the Wave instead.
Glad to hear that. The ZB was better than nothing but it had no real ability to cool. This truly puts out real AC power.

Nice little unit but I must say you better make sure you really need something like that for the $$$$
What camera were you using to film this video? If I may ask?
Bring that thing to SoAz for a more real test.
96° in a car is cold. 🥶
Usual in-car temps after sitting with the windows up in the sun are over 130° here.
so get 2 :)
@@greghudd4473 yeah but more expensive
Great video. Are there any air conditioners like this that do not have to vent out of a room?
no, that would defy the law of physics. Air conditioning works removing heat from the room and putting it somewhere else, which is outside. If don't have a vent outside you're just generating more heat by running an AC.
How well do you this would work when the OUTSIDE temps are 115 degrees? It'll get to I think maybe 160 in a car I think? Interested for car camping/living in the southwest desert. And what kind of power consumption. I saw the wattage for an inverter but what size batteries do you think this would need to run all night (sun down to sun up)?
Cool...
Midea ac 5000 btu $300 on sale. Then get bluetti ac300 max 2000wh battery $1300, then get $700 in solar and you have a way better system with full sunlight can last you all day as it depletes
Damp rid helps ,
How does this cool is it an evaporative cooler or actual A/C that uses a coolant?
I would really like to know.
Wow that price is out of line
78 on the sun 😂 oh how I wish for a day like that in Texas
Yeah in Nevada that’s a nice spring day don’t even need ac! LOL Talk to us when it’s 110.
@@heatherwade2373 in that texas you would probably need an ac that so much high rated btu , like instead of 12k its 24k

Thank You
Don’t need to know the answer to the question now, I have one.
How long can the ecoflow ac last on a full blast ?
