Blaux Portable Air Conditioner - Is It a Humidifier or an Air Conditioner?

Have any of you tried Blaux portable Air Conditioner? Is it actually an air conditioner or just another humidifier?

I don't see much reviews on it other than the ones from their own company. According to the description it's a migic box.

    Looks like the generic swamp box you can get from Kmart, only with obnoxious ads on Youtube. Notably, it's not an air conditioner as it won't work in mid-to-high humidity. Air conditioners use the refrigeration cycle to move heat to the outside and dehumidify air; swamp boxes spit out damp air to cool you by the same mechanism as sweating.

  • I've seen the ads, and while I don't own it, it looks very very much like a swamp cooler.

    What do you mean? The majority of the top video hits on Google mention "scam" in the thumbnails…

  • AC as in Air Cooler basically just an Evaporator (that fan uses water) with Lithium battery. Check this review https://youtu.be/QHCOD9HhOdw. If you need something similar I recommended just buy Evaporator or Air circulator like Vornado.

  • You would be better off buying a $15 cooler from Kmart which does the exact same job.
