![]() ![]() * The hoses are plastic and kind of feel a bit cheap. * It doesn't come with any kind of protective case for when not using it, and there are a LOT of pieces that go with this thing. * The unit + battery is much heavier than 12 lbs, and the handle while sturdy, is wide enough that I can't actually close my hand around it. And you can't charge the battery while powering the unit without buying a special splitter they sell. * There's a specialized cord you use to screw in to the unit and to the battery, and I worry that will catch on something. If it broke I couldn't just find a universal power adapter and use it. * While it is narrow enough to fit on the center console of an SUV, the unit itself is still rather bulky, though I'm guessing it's probably as small as it can be and still have a decent compressor. * It comes with a remote, so you don't have to get up every time you want to change the settings on this. This means you will get many more charge cycles out of these compared to lithium ion batteries. Furthermore, it's a Lithium Ion Polymer battery, which is superior to lithium-ion batteries. * The battery is a pretty large capacity and has outlets in case you need to charge other devices off of it as well. ![]() ![]() * If you order a battery, the unit will remain powered according to the product's descriptions and even longer if you just use the fan function alone. * If you are at an electrical site, this unit can pretty much run all the time. * There is a light on the unit in case you need a little illumination to see what you are doing. * The unit comes with that hose as well as intake/exhaust hoses so you can vent the heat the unit produces as well as take in fresh air from the area of your choosing. People often recommend putting the hose under a light blanket when you are going to sleep and it will cool your body off efficiently that way. * You can hook a hose onto the vent in order to get the cold air blowing where you want it. * Cold air pumps out almost immediately from the unit, and you are able to see the temperature of the air being pumped out due to the temperature gauge located on the vent itself which pivots, but not by much. * The ZeroBreeze Mark 2 while sizable is still narrow enough to fit on a center console of an SUV. That said, it's a genuine AC unit that can pump out refreshingly cool air. It won't even keep up with cooling off an SUV when it's 100 F out, with no shade and the sun beating on your car. It's for a small space, and the more insulated (against the heat) the space is, the better this unit will be able to work. At 2300 BTU, this is NOT going to cool down your car/suv/van/tent like ac units built into campers or ac in your household, and it's not supposed to. Before I get into the review, first understand how this unit works so your expectations are realistic. ![]()
