Make sure you understand this is an evaporative cooler

First make sure you understand what you are buying. This is an evaporative cooler that works by spraying water onto cooling plates and introducing ambient temperature air, which is cooled by those plates. It is not suitable for all climates and works best in hot and dry areas and does not work well in humid areas. It doesn't have an air compressor like a traditional air conditioner, making it relatively small and battery operated. I was able to get over 2 hours of runtime with the onboard battery. It can be powered indefinitely with an external USB battery via the USB-C port. While charging, the maximum fan, water jet and LED indicator on consume about 9 watts in my measurements, so really any standard USB battery power it well. The water alone seemed to cool the air a few degrees, adding ice with a 300ml tank works a lot better. The built-in night light was relatively bright and could be set to either a constant color or a slow color change. There are 3 fan speed settings and if you want there is a button for fan only operation without splashing water on the cooling pads. The sensor that detects low water level and shuts off the water jet worked well. There's also directional ventilation, allowing you to direct air up or down, and a handy carry strap. I used it on a hike in dry California and enjoyed it. All in all, if you understand what you're getting, it works pretty well.
