ICY BEEZE PLATINUM features:
A PORTABLE AIR COOLER WITH ALL THE BELLS & WHISTLES
IcyBreeze is the world’s first personal, portable air conditioner and cooler designed to keep you and your drinks cool anywhere life takes you. The two-in-one IcyBreeze utilizes cold water in the bottom of the tub to serve as a cooling agent. The IcyBreeze does not contain freon, nor does it produce exhaust heat, so it can be used indoors or outdoors. The IcyBreeze can dispense cold, dry air up to 35 degrees below the outside temperature; the three speed fan produces currents up to 25 mph, providing maximum cooling relief.
Where do you use it?
The IcyBreeze is not intended to be a replacement for a traditional A/C unit, but instead is a portable, low power consumption unit that provides cooling similar to a single vent from a car air conditioner anywhere you go! The better question is where wouldn't you use it? The IcyBreeze is perfect for campers, boaters, recreational sports, family sports, pilots, surveillance professionals, and tailgaters. Discover more great uses for a personal portable air conditioner.
What makes IcyBreeze so great?
You can have a cold drink in your hand AND a cold breeze on your face wherever you go. Need we say more? Simply fill the IcyBreeze cooler with ice and a little water. Turn it on, and point the breeze in the direction of your choice.

Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! ua-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!
Would this cool down a hundred and twenty square foot tent
I have one and I love it. Works great, and I can recharge portable battery with my 20 dol power inverter (140w)that plugs into my cars 12volt as it only uses 27w.
Excellent product.
Excellent video amen.
I enjoyed your video very much. You explained it very very well in great detail.
Thanks for sharing,

HEY THANKS FOR WATCHING! PLEASE LIKE & SUBSCRIBE :) If you have any unanswered questions check out my latest video on the ICY BREEZE, I uploaded it this morning. Thanks Again :)
I have the pro version and love it. Using an infrared thermometer to measure the air temperature is very inaccurate in this case. I measured mine with a high precision probe thermometer in the outlet and got a temperature drop of 20 degrees below room temperature. That is about the same as a standard air conditioner drop.
Awesome thank you
With your test now I know that I don't need a pump. Just a fan
The water pump just makes the air much colder. Thanks for watching! Please like & sub. :)
I jus picked this up today, used for $200, seems to work great it will definitely work for what I need it for
That was a great price!
The corded remote switch is only to turn the unit off/on from a distance. Whatever the speed selector switch was set at previously will be the current speed when using the remote switch. Same with the Platinum, but the Platinum needs to be off when plugging in the remote switch so the circuit knows the USB port is being used as an off/on instead of a charging port.
Thank you for the review!!
Just got my icybreeze today.
This is a truly amazing machine.

Is it keeping you cool? I am in Florida and am considering buying one. Super hot and humid here
@@reallifesuvlife9051 hey, I’m in Florida also and it works perfect. It gets cold.
@@GameWorld80802 its only a spot cooler right? Where do you use it?
I been trying to tell them they missing an entire market. Truckers would love this, particularly owner ops an company owners
Looking at it right now!
I’m actually thinking about getting this. Looking up the reviews to make sure I don’t waste my money lol
You are right this would be a lot a lot cheaper than even running an apu
I'm a trucker and just switched to touch freight, so have been looking at this as a possibility as opposed to an industrial fan.
Does it cool down the truck I need to repair my ac and it’s running me about 800
Super cool. Great review!
Thanks for watching! 😁
amazing thorough review! thank you sir 💯

I live in Alabama and it's really hot and humid here. I have an old classic 1955 Chrysler New Yorker with no A/C. I have almost stopped going to car shows in the summer. Yesterday the heat index here was 112 degrees. This would be a game changer for me. I'm considering it. I'll check out some more reviews first but thank you for this review.
I have been seeing these at carshows more and more.
Thank You for informative video!
Perfect review brother
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Awesome. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
My husband and I are truck drivers. We just bought a bluetti for our truck and a small oil heater for winter. We will be buying this for summer. 100% Solar/clean energy. Total spent 2500 vs 20,000 APU.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching, please Like & Subscribe.
I'm sure by now they just bit the bullet and bought a truck with a APU or bought a APU 🤦♂️ Can't fix stupid 🤷♂️
Clean energy, but they are burning diesel fuel driving a truck 🤦♂️ They gotta be Brandon supporters, how u liking the $6 a gal fuel 🤭😂
Have you ever heard of over-the-road truck drivers? You know the ones who deliver everything around the country? You must be an OAC supporter since stuff just magically appears in the stores right? DA
Are you using solar power to make the ice that you have to replace every 4 hours?
My dad bought me the platinum to go to vendor events in the Texas summer. This weekend will be my trial run.
better have extra ice and a power supply to plug it into if your out there all day. Just remember to put cooler in the shade and it will work longer. Thanks for watching, please like & sub dear. :)
How was it?
any power differences in version 1/2? as far as output?
How often do you have to drain the water when it's 105 degrees and humid outside? Is the water safe to drink or use in any other way than just dumping it?
What are your thoughts on the ultimate? If I'm making a first purchase which one would you recommend?
4:56
It looks side by side view... that the Left one (the newer version?) looks like it is Bigger?
Yes? No?
Are the batteries & charger proprietary or did they just rebrand a commercial battery system like Milwaukee, DeWalt or whomever?
Hoping they would come out with a “compact “ version
I'm impressed not sure why I haven't seen this thing before!! If your interested I rent sheep you can use to keep your grass trimmed!! 🤣🤣😂😂
it would take a heard of sheep to mow my big yard! lol
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING With all that clover you could bale and sell it!
How long does it run on your Hulkman battery pack?
How many cfm does the fan put out?
Where is the air intake? Do you have left the lid the let air in?
Where does it draw the air in? It has to draw the air in from somewhere. Just curious
Just got one for my truck today. Hope it works well.
Yet another video of not a bad thing to say about the icy breeze. I will be making a real review of the icy breeze from the perspective of a Florida resident middle of summer 92 to 97 degrees, real feel of 108 to 115, humidity 80 to 90%, dew point never below 75-78, oppressive.
Mid May till sometimes not January before it cools down.
The icy breeze is a 30 Gallon cooler.
You will see reviewers say it holds your drinks. This is true BUT be aware that the cooler will cool the drinks before it cools the air inside the cooler and the drinks take away from the ice volume.
What. Nobody has mentioned is, if you put a sub sandwich in the cooker for example, you are going to be smelling the food as it blows onto you. Obviously you wont have a food fragrance with just ice.
Next the cooker is small as I have mentioned before it is only 30 gallons.
The extension hoses and splitter for two vents puts this tiny cooler up over 500 dollars.
You are going to need to get creative with the hoses and how to attach them to blow as they will not stand on their own. They remind me of a shop vac hose but more brittle feeling.
Here in Central Florida the temp blows out at 52 degrees in a AC colled house battling the summer heat that is 80 degrees running 24/7 not in the 40s.
It is around 50 lbs loaded with ice have someone to help you lift it in an out of the car/truck.
The handle if you are tall over 6 ft… will not do. You will need to get creative and make an extender. In my case said extender is a rope with a half hitch knot.
Lets get some honest reviews out here for people.
Tho the icy breeze does work it does require a lot of ice and multiple batteries over the day or night at 100 dollars a battery and charger.
I could not bring it to Disney World it would be to large to be permitted. Tho their own parade floats I hear use these units.
Might be a good option for the beach or outdoor concert.
Its to cool you off not a hot room.
I have used my unit in the truck so I did not have to run the truck AC saving gas and it did pretty good.
With little ice the unit blew decently cold air.
Frozen gallons of ice last longer, about 6 gallons whacked with a convincer into smaller pieces, tho cubes blow colder.
Where's your reveiw video??
The singular innovation they can claim is the cordless rechargeable nature of the unit compared to a typical 110v swamp cooler. You can find kits online to turn any big cooler into an "air conditioner" (😅) like this, but corded. A little creativity and a reused lithium battery powered tool and you too can make one.
How long does the ice last while in use for air conditioning??
Would be better if it could be used as an electric coolbox/fridge when not using the ac mode.
Divided between the V2 and platinum. Does anyone have any further input?
do you think this would be good enough to cool down the cabin in my boat it's really not a big space maybe 7ft by 10
Good idea and good design. Main issue I see is right off is that black top and black hose; for something intended to be used outside in the sun and heat, that can't be helping with thermal efficiency aka how long your ice lasts. Also for the financially impaired amongst us these can be built a lot cheaper than they can be bought. What are you looking at these days for one of these, $500ish after tax and shipping with battery? You can build one of your own in maybe 2-3 hours without much if any DYI background for maybe $200; even less if you already have an existing cooler to modify. Won't look as pretty or have all the bells and whistles but should still do the job of cooling just great. It'd be one thing if these were getting stellar reviews but they're not even sold on Amazon any more and it looks like they only averaged about a three star rating when they did.
You couldn’t build a better one for the money, so you are completely wrong there. Did you even watch the video or are you just a moron troll? This absolutely is worth the money and it is getting good reviews.
Really cool video. Do you have any idea how many watts the cigarette plug and the 110v power plug might use? Have a jackery 500 power station and this would be nice in our Teardrop camper. And how many hours will the ice last running it on low. Great Video. Just subscribed and really appreciate u sharing. Thanks
Thanks for watching Chris the Jackery should run it at least 10 or 12 hours at least but I'm just guessing. I'm not sure how many watts it uses but you might be able to call them and they should give you an exact numbers.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING thks 😊 👍
About 40-50w I believe
Could you elaborate on the use of the jump charger with the IcyBreeze.
How long could you depend on that use?
What product is that?
Thanks 👍
It's connected straight to his battery sooo it'll last as long as that battery is which is practically forever
How long before the ice melts
What is that fancy car starter thing you have??
They shouldve had a rubber insert cover for the power source... im afraid itll get wet from
out door uses
Where is the air inlet?
If the cooler lid is airtight and properly sealed, the cooling fan static back pressure will drastically cut the fan air volume/ velocity output. I don’t see any vents for the incoming air, so it is safe to assume that the cooler lid is not tightly sealed...?
The cooler lid is not completely airtight but it still fits tight enough where it's not going to come open on ya. But the fan blows air really hard, I can't believe it's able to blow so hard but it does. Plus this cooler has a lifetime warranty so that's pretty amazing. I figured I have a good 15 to 20 yrs left so I'm gonna get my money's worth. When I saw the cooler the 1st time I was sceptical about it until I used it. The air is really cold and I freeze juicy juice bottles and put inside it sometimes to make it last even longer on air conditioning mode. Thanks for watching and please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE.
Thank you fro the excellent video review Matthew 🙂
Remember that God loves you 🙂 ❤️
i have the same exact icybreeze platinum color
How ya like it? Thanks for watching, please Like & Sub :)
Hello, I think these are a great idea except that I’m learning that they could cause mold and mildew over time. I’m in Southern California and need to cool my music room.
I’m willing to install a wall air conditioner or portable AC if I need to, but curious if there’s something in between the ice chest and an AC that could work.
Hi Tom, I'm not sure how the ICYBREEZE would cause mold or mildew because the air is completely dry. I can assure you it's never caused mold or mildew with the ones I've used, I think you might have gotten some bad information. Anyways if you are looking to cool a room these don't put out that much cold air to take the place of ain HVAC unit or even a window unit. Now could you use it to have cold air blowing on you directly, but it's not going to cool anything but maybe a really tiny bathroom. This is definitely not an HVAC replacement. Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING Thanks, Matthew!
One thing to help people save money on buying bags and bags of Ice. Get a large capacity ice maker. Something that makes 30 plus pounds of ice a day. If you use icybreeze daily during the summer, you won't have to spend 6 bucks a day on bagged ice.
That's a great idea! I freeze water bottles too!
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING
Also I figured out that the ice last longer when you keep it in the bag.
Was thinking of just using the reusable ice packs would be cost effective
I work at a wharehouse that produces ice 😆😆😆
@@timjones9128 thats because the ice is compacted and less surface area than when the ice cubes are free from eaxh other outside the bag
How much does 30lbs of ice cost?
2:35
You said you'd show us on the version "2"...
I Thought the RED one was the FIRST Version... I'm confused now. LOL
Shirt demo super funny
?
So does it draw the air from inside the cooler? It seems it would add a lot of moisture to the air in an enclosed space. And drawing air from inside the cooler would also create a vacuum that would draw warm air into the cooler and melt the ice faster. Am i understanding the function correctly?
No, it's not a swamp cooler. It uses a heat exchanger
Has anyone tested the theory to put table salt in a plastic bottle, say 23 % of the total volume, then water, freeze it and place in cooler. Supposedly the bottles with the frozen salt water help to extend the life of your ice? and do you know how long the 12V power cord is? I still can't find that answer on their site.
I made my own that can be used with any cooler and the air handler can be placed anywhere and if using it inside you just need a drip pan to catch the water driping from the air handler for under $100. But this one is cool but a little pricey for me
Thanks for watching, please like & sub.
You should make a video. I would love to make my own.
@@racequad9 I will in due time.. I have to finish a couple more things on it..
It will be a different YT channel though
Did u ever make that video?
Will it cool and dehumidify a room when the power is out? Is there any point using it outside? I never sit outside so it’s pointless for that.
It would have to be smaller then a bathroom in order to work that good.
Wondering if it would keep a dog house cool during Texas summer
I believe it would keep a dog house cool or at least comfortable but you'll be using lots of ice.
Where did you get the adapter for the jump starter? Is it USB? Thanks
I ordered it from icy breeze, it's just a 12 volt cigarette lighter style plug.
I’d love to hear people’s experiences on using this instead of my car’s A/C. I wonder how it would work out.
You gotta remember it's just 1 vent compared to probably 4 or more vents in your car. I believe it would cool a small car in moderate temperatures.
They have a PVC splitter that goes different directions
I just ordered one, what’s the average life span on the ice once it’s running? Is it close to a yeti?
No the ice doesn't last as long with air being blow over it.
On the v2.. how long will the cold last if I put three 10 pound bags of ice and set the fan on low? Thanks!
depends on how hot it is outside, is the cooler in direct sun, how many times will you open the cooler to get a drink out? It's just really hard to say because conditions vary. Thanks for watching, please Like & Sub
I thought you would have at least said maybe if he didn't touch it and it set undisturbed it would last for around this many hours... That was the most unhelpful answer I've ever heard LOL
Buy one and test it out for us.
Do we have to use ice cubes? can we use reusable ice packs or frozen water bottles? thanks!
sure, use frozen bottles or packs just make sure to peel off labels or it will clog the pump.
Could someone tell me if the 20v dewalt batteries will work with these coolers? The batteries and chargers look to be the same, just rebranded.
The case is the same size, but our batteries are a custom designed 12v made specifically for our application. Lithium batteries have a control board built inside to monitor state of the batteries to make sure everything stays at safe levels. Power tool batteries are designed for quick bursts of high torque energy, where our unit uses a low draw over an extended period. Using a 20v battery pack will cause premature wear on that battery pack, on the IcyBreeze, and could potentially leave that battery in an unsafe state where it could combust.
@@icybreezecooling9720 could you tell me how the power supply system works when both the car adapter and a 10AH battery are both installed? Can both be attached basically using one as a backup?
@@zacharymaddox5880 If both a battery pack and a power supply are connected at the same time, the IcyBreeze will prioritize power from the power supply. The IcyBreeze V2 Pro uses a mechanical switch that stays in position until you change it, so if the power supply loses power for some reason, it will turn back on under battery power. The IcyBreeze Platinum uses a digital switch, so you would need to manually turn the power back on if the power supply loses power.
Want one but have Milwaukee batteries, anyone convert it to Milwaukee?
Do you want to sell the v2?
I wonder if I can mod it To take a Milwaukee battery.
Be careful I've heard alot about guys burning out the electrical panel using Dewalt batteries.
Can u add rock salt to it ? Or does that void warranty ? What’s the warranty
I'm not sure, I bet it would void the warranty because it could cause rust in the pump. But you will have to call them to confirm. Thanks for watching! Please like & sub.
I work on pottery in a two-car garage in Florida. I would like to know if someone is using this in a hot garage and has decent results. I don't expect 60 degrees, just something comfortable. Thank you in advance.
No way, it's not going to cool a 2 car garage in Florida that's not possible.
So basically the only difference between the two models is one can charge your phone?
The styling, control panel is updated, modes/settings are different(you can turn off pump to extend battery life) and a USB to charge devices. Thanks for watching, please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE.
even low fan setting seems TOO loud to sleep with one of these in a tent
I’m going cross country in a vintage car without AC. Do you think this would work for that? Also, how long in way 90ish degree weather would the ice last? Thanks
Hi Sarah, that's freakin awesome! I really believe it would work to help keep the temps down but it's really hard to say how long the ice will last but if I had to guess I would say you should get 6 hours or so with it full of ice but if you could freeze water bottles you might get more running on high. What kind of car are you running? I have a 70 Nova I'm working on currently. Thanks for watching please LIKE & SUB. Also please let me know how it works out for you.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING Dang, roughly 6 hours in actual 90 degree weather? That’s a long time. I would have figured an hour or two at best. Novas are awesome! Picking up an 80s Land Rover. Sad to admit that’s now vintage. Getting old!
@@sarahdell4042 have it seatbelted down on your passenger seat and have that hose in your face. Should work great for you and just ice it back up everytime you stop for gas
@@TzUuup I ended up buying one. It’s junk. Goes through ice insanely fast, and it’s cooler with the windows down. Lower heart rate confirmed it.
@@sarahdell4042 fareal dam sorry to hear that. Yeah for your use I guess it isn't good. I work in Las Vegas and have access to pretty much unlimited ice so meh its worked out for one of my coworkers who has o e
Can this cool a small room? And if this is used as an ac instead of a portable ac, will the electric bill cost less than using a portable one?
Interesting thought. You'd have to believe it would have to do something and the cost is basically running the fan and pump...there's no compressor.
Nah you might as well get a portable at that point
That battery looks alot like the dewalt batteries.would they work with this cooler ?
Can confirm, my DeWalt batteries worked perfectly with my buddy's IcyBreeze. That's the main reason why I'm looking at these!
@@dkucharek ty u for the reply deff going to buy one now
Thank you for saving me $100!
How long will the Hulkman run the cooler?
Maybe an hour or two. If you want a longer runtime try a portable power station with a larger battery.
Where does it draw fresh air into the cooler?
There are 2 air intakes. One is under the louver and the other is under the lift handle. At the beginning of the video you can see that air intake. It is below and to the left of the handle that opens the lid.
That is a bad design in my opinion. It DOES draw air into the cooler, bringing room temperature air into the cooler. I would think that is about the same as leaving the cooler door open. I had one and returned it.
@@erleysmiff5151 To me that would be the perfect design. This is the way a normal AC works. If you used it in a tint or even a small room/Cabin you would want that rooms "air" to Cycle through the cooler over and over again to achieve the lowest temperature possible. And ice is cheap to make you can even freeze water bottles or anything so, replacing Ice isn't that big of a deal even if you have to ever 4-6 hours. I'd like to add i don't own this i just saw it on searching for 12V AC's and Reviews.. i think its a neat design with the heat exchange. I might buy on just for the heck of it not sure id have much of a use. hmm unless my cars AC stops working lol.. @IceBreeze Cooling ..i think it's Cool haha
@@daniels9025 I had one and returned it. The problem is, the icebox is NOT sealed off, the return air is pulled in under the cooler lid and into the icebox therefore raising the temp. in the box ! I did not mind the fan noise but as the ice melts, it falls in the cooler and makes enough noise to wake you up. It did cool well for about 2-3 hours in a small camper but then it got hot!
@@erleysmiff5151 it done well in a small Camper for 2-3 hours? That's good and about as long as i would figured it would cool when filled with ice.. Isn't the battery life around that also? by any chance did you try setting something on the lid for a better seal? do you think it would cool a Cab of a mini Excavator? maybe a car? would it cool those a couple hours on very hot days? maybe the lid design isnt the best but the concept and that it worked well for couple hours Amazes me. maybe it well in certain situations? thanks for your input.
Will it cool a standard 2 car garage?
No way, not possible.
Can you put hot water in it, turn it into a heater too?
I never tried that
Where u get the blue one
From IcyBreeze last year.
My family and I go to the local short track. We race in the late model class. We have a 28ft trailer and it gets 90+ degrees in the trailer in summer. Do you think 2 of those would keep the trailer cool? I did the math and the trailer is 8'x8'x28'. That is not very much square feet and I may need to get those clear walk through things for the door opening on the trailer. I have price and ac for the trailer and $700 seems to be the normal price for an ac unit. We are buying something because once we get done racing and come back home I am drained totally! The heat just takes all the energy out of me. Also, we need to keep our driver cool so he can focus better once he is in the race car. I was just curious to see if you think it blows enough cold air for basically a garage for 2 cars? Maybe you have a garage and can test?? I live the look of these coolers and I will for sure get one at least! Thanks for the video
Hi Michael, I know you are looking for a definite answer to your question but to be honest I'm not sure. I know it gets alot hotter inside of a trailer then it gets inside a room in a house because you don't have any insulation or an attic to help get rid of some of that heat, so it's really hard to say to be honest with you. I know the IcyBreeze breeze blows out some really cold air with a good amount of force. You might have to call IcyBreeze and ask them because I don't have a garage to test things anymore.
The icy breeze website says that it is designed to be a personal cooler. From their FAQ page:
While the IcyBreeze is perfect for breaking the heat for the person it is aimed at or a small, insulated area, it will struggle to cool a large open space or a space with lots of direct sunlight.
I tried to cool a small around, and found that it didn't cool it much. When I tried to return it, I found that once used, you will be charged a 25% restocking fee and also you have to pay for return shipping.
No I think you'd be better off with a portable. One of these doesn't even cool down my single cab truck. It's more for that cold breeze to your face that'll help you deal with the heat
when connected to external DC does the battery charge?
No the battery has to be put on a battery charger. Thanks for watching, please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING thanks...it would have been good if they thought to put a charge controller in it to keep the battery topped off when powered by 12v.
@@n1ti the super speed power port allows you to charge battery while connected to the car
@@levaunprinceyates5913 thanks!
Looking forward to the video on the accessories. Icybreeze website has only a little bit on confusing info. What length is the 12V DC power cord? Does the Super 12V charger come with the cord to plug it in to the "cig lighter" 12v receptacle? Show the super charger, so we know how it "attaches" to the battery. When I order a battery from Icybreeze, does it come with a charger? Can you leave the battery on the cooler while you use the DC charger? (I've emailed and called the co., but they haven't replied for 2 days.) Your feature list and video angles are good, better than their website, your video has more of the many "how to use" questions than the other video reviews, but I have questions about daily how features affect function, what you've learned in actually using it on a road trip! (maybe I'll have to get one and make my own daily use on the road video…). Thanks! P.S. THANK YOU for NOT showing us how to unpack a box, duh!
I'm on vacation this week I will try and get it done next week. :) stay tuned :)
Thanks, Matthew. I did get replies for some questions from Icybreeze yesterday, and I'm still curious about the cord length, as the response on the phone was "2'" and in email was "12'". Have a great vacation!
"Amen" Lynn... Everything you said... I want to know too.
Are you telling me you go camping and let’s just say it’s 75 to 80° at night humid how would you just not blow through the ice within 30 minutes what’s the magic part?
It's just a well insulated cooler and it keeps the ice cold at night without direct sun beating down on the cooler the ice last even longer. No secret parts just a water pump, cooler, air exchanger, and a power source it really surprised me!
Doesn’t matter if most of your ice melts as long as the water stays cold. The cold water circulating through the condenser is what makes the air coming off the fan cold. Just like Freon in a condenser.
Also, if you use rock salt on your ice it will get colder and stay longer
It seems the biggest flaw is the cooler itself. Seems like it should be a yeti style design.
Other wise the ice is just going to melt fast and you'll be running back and forth for ice.
Yeah if it's a 100 degrees and your running it wide open you'll need alot of ice.
The heat exchanger will melt the ice so fast(2-4 hours) that the additional insulation would not be significant if you are using it as an a/c
Will it work with a DeWalt battery?
no it will burn it up.
This will be worth a million dollars in the next zombie apocalypse.
Hahahahahahaha
Could you use dry ice?
no
Can this work with a dewalt battery
No it will eventually burn it up.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING thanks
Will this accept dewalt or Milwaukee batteries
Voltage is to high but a Dewalt battery will fit but it will eventually ruin the electrical panel.
Have you tired to fit a 20v Dewalt battery?
Yes it will eventually burn the cooler circuit board up.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHINGis it different amprage? let lifetime warranty kick in test. Warranty Support test next?

So are you saying on the newer version (Blue) you can turn the A/C off and just use the Fan... (That is SOOOO Smart)... but the first version (Red) can't do that? That is a GAME CHANGER... right there!!!! "Hello"
That's correct.
Right, the platinum with the pump off turns the cooler into a swamp cooler, exactly what they claim it's not. But that is what it really is, a swamp cooler with an upgrade (stage 2). Stage 1 is the swamp cooler, stage 2 is the heat exchanger that should remove a lot of the moisture, and in already humid areas return drier air than what entered the cooler, introduced in stage 1 and further cool the air.
We got one with the cigarette lighter charger and used it about 3 times and the plug melted. They won't replace it and claim it is our fault. So now we simply have an expensive ice cooler.

You can buy another plug charger they don't cost much.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING the fair thing would be for them to replace it without charge based on their "Lifetime guarantee" which actually only lasts 10 years, the lifetime of a bird.
They are not cheap, they are overpriced. It is an insult to a thinking person to invest more money in a piece of junk.
Seriously? A cell phone charger will power it! BUY A GOOD ONE! Not a cheap gas station one. Duh 🤦♂️ I bet u voted for Brandon 🤭🤦♂️
Can you use a Milwaukee battery? If so I’m buying one ASAP!
No it won't fit plus it will be to strong and will burn it up from what I was told. Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe.
Icybreeze say they marketed this for camping but why can’t they have a mode to lower the noise level this thing is loud and irritating can’t sleep even neighbors complain I can say it does blow cold air but the constant buzzing of the motor noise is just too much to bear when you trying to enjoy a cool night sleep
I've used mine 5 or 6 times in the last 2 weeks because my AC units been out and it's not loud at all. It just has a slight hum from the fan and water pump but it's hardly even noticeable. Come on that's just being really petty because it's no louder then the vent in your car blowing cold air on high. If it's so loud turn the fan speed down and turn the pump off. These cooler never claimed to be completely silent. Lol
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING so you’re saying 60 decibel is not noticeable? They never claim to be silent but they claim the noise level is the same as a normal fan which is around 30dba on high n around 20dba on low by the way turning the icybreeze to low n pump off drop like 2-3 dab which is nothing and why would you turn off the pump wouldn’t a regular fan be better
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING my point is that I know they can add a quiet mode which reduce the air that is being push out and slow down the motor cause the low setting is still blowing a ton of air out maybe drop it down to 30dba than it’ll be perfect
It needs to take outside air into the heat exchanger. This is still using damp moist air inside the cooler st even going through the cooler, it’s gonna cool moist air.
I need one of these badly!!! Why are they 300 bucks :( lol. I know it's worth the price , but dang man. Really want to try it in my car where my evap core is broken, don't want to go into the dash to remove and replace it. This is close to a evap core price so maybe this is the way for now?
Sorry your AC is out my friend! Thanks for watching. :)
Did you end up getting one? I’d love to hear more experiences from people who’ve used them instead of their car A/C.
@@carlorocky unfortunately not man, I can't fork out the expenses right now, I'm just used to the extreme heat here in Florida now because I've been without for so long, I wish I could, almost got one for 80 bucks on market place. But sold it while I was asking him to ship it. Sucks
My dewalt battery's work with the unit
Yeah it will run it for awhile then it will eventually burn out the electronics.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING has any burned up there cooler doing this? I know that's what they claim, but are there any examples.
@@0661mike you can be the first to let us know and uhhh change your name before they get rid of your warranty for using 3rd party batteries 🤣🤣🤣
@@TzUuup I am currently two days in with use of a dewalt 20v max battery. I could give updates If your serious, I have one no problem testing at my own risk.
@@0661mike I've seen this question on almost every icy breeze video so I'm sure you'd get atleast a few hundred views on it
Are those batteries the same as the DeWalt batteries?
Nope they will burn out the electrical panel on the cooler.
My mans needa hit the treadmill breathing all heavy like you ran a mile. Good review tho.
I just got done with your mom, so I was out of breath. hahahahaha
