I bought this as a refurb unit. It arrived before the expected date (which was great). It looked to me as brand new. Works perfectly and very easy to use. Not yet used the remote control to a point I feel I could comment on it but seems to work fine. My daughter can now get to sleep in these hot evenings. It doesn’t chill the water you put in, but 2 small ice packs come supplied that do the job. I have also used ice in the container which work well too.
Love this portable air conditioning unit.
Its been a godsend with the heat in the UK.
Only down side is that its quite noisy if you have it on during the night.
This air cooler really saved me during the heatwave where it got to 40c a few weeks ago.
I bought it a week before and it was perfect. It wasn’t too noisy, nor was it too difficult to set up and get working!
One issue was that after having it on all day it made the room very humid & if you aren’t directly within the air flow coming out then it won’t cool the room.
It’s a big fan with that actually shoots out cold air. If you want an air con this isn’t what you’re looking for. But it will keep you cool if you are next to it!
Bought this just over a month ago in preparation for a possible hot summer and I wanted something more than a bog standard fan but without spending a fortune on AC. This turned out to be a reasonable half way house.
I first tried it out on a couple of warm nights, the fan is powerful and not as noisy as my old one, and I loved the remote control function. The addition of water and ice/ice packs makes a subtle difference that I didn’t immediately notice but after an hour or so I did feel cooler.
As others have noted, removing the drawer to fill it with water is fiddly and detaching the pump is not immediately straightforward. I did have to study the instructions (one diagram!) and have a few practice goes before trying it with water in. More detailed instructions would help with this. But once I figured it out it was quite straightforward.
The real test for the unit came with the heat wave earlier this week. All I can say is, it did it’s best! The addition of water meant that it wasn’t just blowing around hot air like a traditional fan but it wasn’t cold air either. I’ve definitely had worse nights but it was still uncomfortable.
Overall, better than a regular fan and I am pleased with my purchase – it’s a reasonable halfway house between a standard fan and an AC. If you are thinking of buying one set your expectations appropriately and you’ll be fine.
Early days of use but seems like a good uni
I didn’t have high expectations having bought a similar fan last year but this one is great. It’s powerful, easy to move about and not too noisy. In the current heatwave (Uk) the room it was in was the coolest even with fans in other rooms. The ice blocks don’t seem to make any difference to the cool air but it still does blow cool air around with water in. All of the pets congregated in front of it yesterday – hottest day on record. Would definitely recommend.
Purchased for my 92 year old Mum, and although it can only be used in the one room, (she is too frail to move it and I live 220 miles away) that one room is cool and she is safe from this extreme heat. It works well she tells me and is so happy to have one cool room.
Product working well, a bit noisy but this was expected.
Great customer service as the delivery service provider delivered to the wrong address but the seller was on the ball to get a replacement straight away!
Gives an amazing cool relief in this summer weather, mainly bought to cool the room down for the house cats but is one of the bedt purchases ive made, the water tank on medium fan lasts all night, would definitely recommend
This is so much better than air con I actually had My bedroom like a fridge .hint
Chill water first use 4 ice blocks and use full speed blower and use the inta button ..I work nights and it’s so quiet and does a grand job 5 star reviews and yes I’m real yes I’m a customer and no I don’t work for them .I’m a hgv shunter for m&s

Great for night use. Only 6kg, so easy to move around. Removerable carsters.
BEST BUY EVER…
I have only given 4 stars because although it says it can be set for 7 hours , the 5ltr tank was down to 1/4 after 3 hours, so presumably it would have tuned itself off when it reached minimum. So I doubt it would run all night. It does work well though and made the bedroom comfortable to sleep in. I could be a little overpriced.
Fit the castors before filling the tank with 5l water.
Highly recommend, worth every penny.
Other reviews state it’s noisy, but it not. Can’t expect everything to be silent. It’s a low fan noise, quieter than desk fan.
Lovely design and it’s just all round perfect.
This is great for room cooling, make a note of how the motor comes out because you have to put it in the exact way it came out only it’ll be underwater obscured by ice cubes.
At 29 degrees outside this is doing a great job of keeping the room cool and my dog loves it. I read some reviews that say the fan was blowing only warm air and this happend to me, I took the back off (just pulls off) and noticed water wasn’t tricking through the machine but a little nudge of the water tank solved the problem and the water flowed through how it should.
Very simple to use and it’s not noisy at all.
To solve the disconnecting the motor everytime to fill it I just poured the water in the back and threw in a couple of pints of ice in it by half opening the water container.
Really happy with i
Brought thinking it was air con but it’s not, it’s air cooling! Never the less is still super cool breeze and is amazing. Easy to set up and cool you down within seconds (just not your room)
Wish it had somewhere to wind wire when not being used
Just want to share my thoughts/ inputs regarding the device. It is well made and the design is nice. It is easy to install and easy to use. The noise level of the device is good just like a fan. It is easy to manuever because it is light weight and has wheels. Coolness level it can’t compete with the airconditiong unit however, it can manage to give to you comfort and a good night sleep.
Above is the video on how to unlock and detach the container from the pump. Enjoy
With ice blocks and a full water tank, this is slightly better than my 30 power fan I had already. It really isn’t a massive upgrade on that fan though and it is far more expensive and far bulkier.
You really need 3/4 ice blocks in this to make it work well and it only comes with 2, so definitely have more of these if you plan to buy this cooler. Know that it is nothing close to air-con, but it is likely to do a better job than a fan.
Much better than your average fan!
The 5 litres of water lasts for an entire night in bed.
I think getting over putting your hand in the water tank to reconnect the electric is a bit worrying I know it’s safe but apart from that this is a very good product.
Finally can sleep at night during a heat wave. Loved it so much I bought another one for my mum. The noise level is quite low and the water level last all night. Couldn’t live without it in the summe
Very good because it’s easy to manoeuvre around and it’s ligh
Good product you don’t need the extra cooling blocks, at least I found it works well and chills enough, downside remembering to top up with water otherwise grea
This may not be an air conditioner or be quite as cold as one, but it certainly chills the air. Easy to use and very pleased with it.
Seems to just keep going. Excellent item, well worth the price.
After looking at air conditioning this summer we decided to buy this product instead.
Wow, after thinking it might not cool us down we were mistaken.
Fill up the tank with cold water or for extra cold air use the ice coolers and we had a room which was cool even during the 28 degrees we had a few months ago! Our dogs and family were lovely and cool and we could move it to the kitchen when we needed it. No need for putting hoses out of windows with air conditioner and one tank of water lasts ages. One tip though be sure to clean it and also the filter as it needs maintenance every couple of weeks
Been using this daily, and I can say it does the job, it does cool the air, even better if you add ice in the bucket.
Don’t expect this to do wonders when temperature goes above 28 degrees.
I’ll check again when i next energize the cooler, their doesn’t seem to be any response from the remote control.
We bought this after reading the reviews, before the heatwave, so glad we did. Keeps you cool. It’s manoeuvrable and remote control is handy. It’s not too heavy to move around, even with water in.
It’s a bit of a fiddle getting the pump off and on but apart from that it helps a bit in keeping you cool in the hot weather.
Delivered so quickly and running in minutes. I should have got one ages ago. Quite and efficient, literally has saved summer for my elderly mum and the dogs. Delighted with it and well worth the money.
Kept up cool during the heat waves it has been a life saver, pump is very easy to detach, very easy and simple to use
I am impressed by the performance of this device, especially as the temperature in our house has risen in places to the 80sF.
Fill the tank with cold water and ice blocks and away you go.
Easy to set up, long lasting and as with other reviews, I am delighted with the product.
Used in bedroom overnight. In study during working day and in kitchen/diner in between.
The product has a loud water dripping when on . Which is annoying , cooler itself is goodv
Adding water is a bit awkward as is swapping out the cooler packs. It is a bit noisy on high setting.
I knew a heatwave was coming 16/07/2021 and as I am in digs in a caravan for work thought I had better get one.
Very impressed, up and running in 5 mins.
Van was 32C locked up all day! at 12:30 when I got back.
Brilliant peice of kit although I was sceptical like a few others but no! here I am basking in lovely cool air with the windows shut. It wont take the room temps down much but 100% better than a fan which eventually dries me out but the humidity coming from the cooler is making it very comfortable.
It’s expensive for what is basically a fan, waterfall, pump and some nice settings including the remote, it is however high quality and trust you wont want a cheapie breaking down in a heatwave.
Have not needed to use the ice packs yet just cold water, good also to note there is a nice filter on the back giving the air a clean up and I believe it traps particles in the water for when you chuck it down the drain, pollen and all detritus in the air.
Not needed full power yet.
Reaaly good, really impressed.
Not noisy and pumps out cool air, good for smallish rooms
What’s not to like!! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and really is like a portable air conditioner!!! Perfect for hot and humid days!!!!
I like the cooler, but it’s not as cold as I thought it would be, even with the two ice packs. The remote isn’t very clear.
The instructions weren’t very explanatory either.
On the whole I would still recommend it, as I don’t think it was expensive. Quite effective, though not as quiet as I thought it would be in night mode.
This are cooler did exactly what is should and it you load up the water tank with ice or use the provided ice block you do get cool air pumped out and I can’t fault it for this.
unfortunately for my south facing office room this wasn’t enough to take the heat off, i could feel the cool air if i had the unit straight next to me but it was short lives unfortunately, but again no fault of the product.
Unit looks good and functions as expected, so if your looking for something cheaper than aircon and will pump some cool air , then this will do the job I returned mine and spent out on and full air con uni
There’s a latch to open the water reservoir then you move another latch to remove the pump, this can be a little difficult. Once you’ve mastered it the machine works perfectly.
Top tip put lots of ice in and set it away for a few hours first, this will cool the room down.
The timer works well along with the fan function.
Even though it’s been so hot we still have not had it set at maximum. Back room was 28 deg and front room was lovely and cold on the second setting. Mmmmm.
It actually produces cool air, even without the water mode activated. I’ve had three before – one was 90, the next 100, the next was 130 and then this one. All of the others went back pretty quickly. They worked reasonably well for a short period of time but all ran into issues. This type of cooler will never be as good as an actual air-con unit but is definitely the next best thing. It’s pretty well built too considering the price. The other models made me doubt if evaporative cooling units actually worked but this has proven a skeptical mind otherwise. The only downside is that I find it a little loud but cannot complain for the price.
Not bad for the price but you have to fill it with ice cube and water to get cold air, good buy would recommend
This unit is portable which is handy, no tube.
It does a good job of cooling the area around it. I had it in my office and was suitably cooled. I tried to cool down my living room but putting the machine in there but it didnt cool the room. So it works to cool you down but not a room.
Overall im very happy with my purchase because its the closest im going to get to an air con unit. Easy to use, put together and handy remote.
Its not a air conditioning unit but it does do the job and keeps the room cool. Its slightly noisy on the night mode level, but it’s very easy to use
Easy to operate and move around. It cools the air better than a fan. You can add ice packs to get colder air. There is some noise but this is manageable and even a fan makes some noise.
Recently purchased the Pro breeze 5l and I’ve gotta say it seems to be doing the trick with keeping these hot humid nights away so far so good it’s also quite compared to a normal fan would definitely recommend …its easy to set up aswell very straight forward with the manual hope this helps people’s decisions with purchase
This is a really good value air cooler. Very easy to use. Has definitely made some hot days / nights more bearable and had better nights sleep.
And my cat is less grumpy
Works like a dream wish I had ordered one last year are flat is unbearably hot .may order another one next month .noise level is brilliant a d easy to move from room to room the remote control is good too thanks so much
Very good air cooler, takes a rooms temperature down by about 4-5*c.
My only issue is that the water tank gets a yellow type of algae, and needs to be cleaned each day of use or everytime you refill the tank.
Keep in mind you also need to keep a door or window open for air circulation or humidity will increase rapidly.
It is nice and slimline. Easy to move around on wheels. Have not used cool mode yet with water, but fan is good.
This was really good value for money, given how fast it came and how hot that heatwave was it was perfect.
my first product had a fault, pro breeze could not have been more helpful in resolving, sending a replacement within a few days.
Kept my flat cool effectively. Does raise humidity though. Apart from that an excellent cooler.
Item arrived very quickly and was easy to set up the pump. Can recommend this. Just waiting til the hot weather returns.
Used for a couple of hot days and even without ice blocks is nice and cool. Must remember this is NOT an air conditioner which would be much more expensive and have to have an outlet. Unfortunately since then the weather has been cool – sorry, I’ve probably put a jinx on the summer!
Had this a couple of days now and I really like it. The fan only mode (if you’re a bit worried about using the water tank/ice packs) is really good on it’s own, so I wonder how cold it will get with the water & ice! I use it in a smallish room.
Very happy with the purchase
Very happy with this unit
Very compact
Extremely cool compared to fans
Five stars
I love this. Its compact and very cool. I have only tried thi with water and it is coolet than a fan. Not heavy, easy to move. The only negative is the filling and emptying of water. You have to unhook the pump and you have to make sure that you have some tissues about. It does leave water on the floor. Just a bit messay. But still worth i
Easy to use, works well. We bought 2 to keep cool in our loft during the hot weather.
please note to actually really feel the cooling u need to have this near a window or door ..
The back of this item needs to face a slightly open window or door so it can give an amazing cooling effect on a hot day .. it uses the air from outside and the water from the tank to generate the coolness …
This is the only best cooler out there as I have spent days doing a lot of research on other coolers … definitely worth getting and if used correctly it should be a worth the money..
Absolutely amazing in our studio flat. It’s been like an oven for weeks and this brings the temperature down amazingly.
The cooler is easy to move around and is quiet enough for me, even at max fan speed.
Its being used in a small box room and really helps to keep the room cool.
Mostly using it with cold water & the 2 supplied ice packs. Even without these, using just the fan alone, performance is good.
My only wish would be for the pump fitting to be engineered better. Got the hang of it now but its still a struggle with the pump, the ice packs floating in your way and the weight of the water all making the fitting like something from a comedy sketch. I still cant manage the fitting (pump and water tray + ice packs) without spilling water around the unit. Not good when you need to plug the thing into a wall socket.
Extended warranty for an extra 2 years for 20 was a welcomed deal.
Apart from the one issue, product is cool and I am happy.
This is a truly five-star product. It’s well-made, stylish, and easy to use. It very quickly cooled our room, and our cat liked lying in front of it too!
Kept on for a while it does actually cool the temperature of the room. It’s not air con, you can’t bring it down to a chill but it takes the edge off a hot day and is really easy to use and move around.
After being boiled during the last summer heat, I done a lot of research on air coolers, and settled for this item.
What its like over a time period, time will tell.
The unit is very quiet, easy to fill and empty, nice size, not intrusive looking in the lounge, easy to carry if required, not only that, filled with cold water, even blows out cold air. I don’t know if I will remain cool when we reach high temperatures again, but at this moment in time, My wife and I are very pleased with the unit.
I have spoken to the staff who supply these: found them very friendly and helpful.
There are other makes, using the same outer shell case, which are cheaper: found on amazon and Asda for example, you get what you pay for?
Great! Sitting 3 metres away without water just the fan when I could still feel a nice cool breeze. It’s practically silent which surprised me for the price and when I used the ice packs it it was perfect on a hot day. It also doesn’t consume much space as it’s small and yet surprisingly efficient.
This portable cooler works perfectly with excellent features giving multiple cooling options. The 10 litre water tank gives several hours of continuous cooling. The remote control feature works well and the cooler is very quiet when running. Overall this is a well designed unit. The best results are achieved by maintaining the 10 litre tank water temperature at a low level with the use of ice and the ice modules supplied.
I Don’t mind the noise level, remote is very handy, blows cold air even without the ice pack. Thinking of buying a second unit. Fast shipping
It is effective in making you feel cooler but is limited in how much it will actually cool a room. After testing, it seemed it would only change the temperature of a room by around 1 degree C or so, at best.
Good array of functions. Great for humidifying my dry flat too.
Only cons were the remote has no indicators on it so you don’t actually know what mode you’re on unless you get up and look at the top of the unit. The remote is also quite ugly with a sad mint green colour. Looks like the equipment you would see in a hospital.
The Water tank isn’t so smooth to take in and out as the pump cable on mine gets in the way a little bit.
On the whole, I would really recommend this.
Tried out in a small bedroom and even just with cold water it brought the temperature down in the room by 2.5 degrees in about half an hour, really impressed, the only downside is the noise even on night mode it is quite noisy.
Highly recommended to anyone !
PS – But it dose make some noises ones in a while probably because of the dust that gets into the main fan.
This is one of the best purchases we have made recently, really cooled the room down when we had the hot days in the summer. The only grumble is that the tank could be a bit more easier to take out, have to take pump out, but we just used a jug in the end.
Product was exactly what I expected. Kept freezer packs rotated and worked well.
I liked the nice cool breeze when ice packs are added to the water. We really needed it this summer. The night mode is ideal as the fan stays at a a constant noise level but makes a sudden stop which at first waken up . The unit has well designed look and doesn’t take up much space.it appears to be well built with nice rounded edges and a clean look. Controls are easy to use . Couldn’t have slept some nights without it. It is good value considering the price for similar products. You may notice condensation on your windows some mornings this may be a drawback .
Does the work of a powerful fan, quite expensive for it’s capacity but easy to handle and move around, noisy but not too disturbing, like an old air conditioning system . Has a tank that needs to be filled with cold water and ice all the time in order to blow some cold ai
Bought this in preparation for the recent heatwave. It keep the main living area cool and we used it all day on the very hot days. It is a very useful addition to the household for our increasingly hot spells. I would definitely recommend.
As soon as it arrived its been on nearly 24 hours a day. Not to noisey, easy to set up and use. Creates a nice cooling breeze especially with the ice blocks. Sleep mode is good to. Easier to fill with a jug.
This is a great little unit, for the price I was amazed at how cool it got our bedroom, very easy to use. We are looking to purchase a second unit for our other room.
Excellent product! Gave it a good test in July when the temperature hit over 33 worked fantastic! Put ice cube or ice pack in the water tray. The temperature blown out was lovely and cool. 3/4 tank of water and ice lasts over 3 hours before top up with more water and ice. Very happy with the purchase!
Good fan,smart appearance. Even with ice and the coolers provided l thought it would be a lot cooler air coming out but it is cooler than just a ordernairy fan so overall pleased. The pump could have been designed to come out a bit easier l use a jug to fill!
I bought 3 fans. One of them are really noisy. Used for couple of days and seems very noisy. Just got a contact from the CEO from the company. He personally solved the issue. Recomend. The best costumer suppo
Small but excellent nearly got us to turn it off after a little while! In this hot summer. Excellent buy wish they did a bigger model, if it gets hotter def will buy another!
With the ice blocks in it became positively chilly in the living room. We had back and front doors open and there was really no breeze through the house so this fan really does seem to work well. I overjoyed that finally I’ve found something that will enable me to stay cool in warm weather.
Only 1 con – the cat was scared of it 🙂
Only part I can’t comment on currently is its longevity, however will update the review if anything goes wrong.
Would highly recommend this to anyone who works from a home office, its going to save my life this summer! Thanks Pro Breeze!
