Does it actually work? does cold air come out similar to a car's AC for example?

No - Very little difference. Room gets filled with moist sticky air.We returned this item and purchased portable AC

In my experience it is no way similar to a car AC. The air is coolish at best, and much more similar to just having a floor fan running, except that the air gets muggier in hot weather.

No it doesn't work like a car ac I didn't think the air was any colder I have decided to just invest in a portable ac which are priced around the same price on amazon

Hi Jennifer - I think this is a great accessory. I received mine about a month ago and it worked perfectly with my portable air conditioner. My air conditioner has two openings, an intake (sucks in the air) and an outtake ( blows out the hot air). I've only connected the one hose to the outtake opening. Have not experienced any issues. I live in a 1,200 sq ft condo loft, all open space. Get rid of the loft area and it's about 900 sq ft. My 14,000 BTU Delonghi portable air conditioner I purchased thru Costco keeps the entire condo cool. All-in-all, this accessory works perfectly; however, make sure you have the appropriate BTUs to keep the area cool. Hi Jennifer - I think this is a great accessory.

It seems to be real! Whenever we have used the A/C, we run it for a while and then turn it off because it got pretty cold. I hope that helps!

This basically works as an automobile a/c system on recirculated mode, it does not draw in the hot air from outside, instead it keeps cooling the same air, so it's actually more efficient.

yes it does, also its not sensitive to the cold. it was out in a car overnight when the temp had plunged to -15 and it turned right on when needed.

While I have only used for cooling, you can feel some warm air coming from the fan. You must make sure not to have that blocked. The warm air is barely noticeable but I have never had anyone in the back seat where it is placed. I must place my hand against the fan grill to feel the air. Unit works great. I usually freeze a battle of water to act like as ice cube. Very satisfied.

I did not have any issues with the ac, the only diff is now I don't have the max button. But my ac is still pretty cold without it.

My sister uses it to travel to work and back, but she lives where it reaches a high of 100 for summer. It doesn't blow cold air, it circulates what cool air there is in the car. So it would blow hot air around, if you don't have a/c.

When I got off from work last night, I work second shift, there was frost on my car. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to really see if this heater works. I sat it on my dash board and it really didn't do the job. The blower for the heater isn't strong enough to do what it advertised that it does. I did like, the size of a lemon at a time. I then decided to put on my car defrost and it worked much faster. I worked well as a hand warmer. I became interested in this type of unit to safe on my gas when trying to heat my car in the winter (I didn't expect it to heat my car but at least help). This product didn't meet my needs.

I have used the blowing feature in the garage and found it sufficient to move anything I expected (leaves, left-over road dust from road-treatments during the winter, and small other items.) No complaints in that use. I would suspect (although haven't tried it particularly) that it would be strong enough to blow anything in the confines of a car or even in blowing confined areas of the undercarriage or under the hood. I didn't try the variety of nozzles which, in theory, would even more funnel the air and increase the force at the point. Hope this helps with an additional use of what I have found to be a GREAT product.

No it's NOT sutiable for use in the car. There is not enough cold air produced by the unit. I thought plugging it in to electricity would help, it didn't! Skip the purchase.

It blows the air toward the laptop. I'm not sure how it works beacause the ambient air isn't all that cool/cold, but it does seem to work fairly well for me. My LT hasn't heated up since I started using it, but it was having a slight problem before.

It's not an air conditioner, it does make the room feel cooler because of the constant rotation air in the room with it on, but it doesn't work like an air conditioner

It moves air, a lot of it. And the moving air feels cooler but not like colder air conditioning would.

Worked best in warm weather, it works in cold weather but it's not as effective. This is from personal experience.

Yes, it works great! It does have a SUPER strong odor, so make sure you ventilate properly.
