How does it work? How long does it 'cool'?

It is filled with some sort of gel that feels cool to the touch. I don't put it in the refrigerator or anything, just use it as it is. I bought this to replace a water filled pad that kept getting mildewy. The only dog this would not be suited for is a chewer (because that might release the gel in the pad). Anyway, my dog likes it...It is soft and cooler than her body temperature.

I haven't used it for that purpose - just for cooling down rooms once it starts to cool down outside. Sorry I can't be of more help.

R u putting cold water in? Don't expect it to cool warm water. Mine keeps cold water cold for at least 20 hrs.

It does stay cool for long periods...I can not say for sure how long, also depends on room temp. I had this for my dog who refused to use it...Did not like it...spoiled thing that she is.....hope this helps....good luck...

I've had my unit for 2 years now. If you're wanting to keep a cool room cool it isn't all that important where you put it; it will keep the air moving around and it will feel cooler that just AC alone. If you're wanting to make a hot room cooler fast then put it close (or right in front of) the AC. If you get a more compact model it will take a little longer to cool the room down. One thing you can do in the winter/cold weather with this unit is position it so it's pointing straight up on low, and it will move around the warm air that gathers up by the ceiling...not something that you asked about; just an additional observation..

No, it doesn't actually cool the air. However, if you're sitting relatively close, the air movement on you makes you feel less hot.

It does reduce puffiness a bit. However, know that the item looses its coolness in 10 to 15 minutes.

The product is fairly quiet. The only moving part is a fan equivalent to a desktop computer's. I use it in a semi enclosed space (against the manufacturers instructions) and it still cools properly.

I treated some electronics with it and they were fine, but I didn't treat a computer. I'm not sure if that would be okay or not. Loading it is very quick and easy, you just want to make sure there is space around stuff so that the heat gets to everything. It takes about 6 or 7 hours, about 5 or 6 to get up to temperature and then another hour that everything should stay at that temperature. Hope this helps.

Cold shot works great! It shoots out a powerful jet of cool air (comparable in temperature to a fan). Takes a couple seconds to cool.

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 takes a while, but it does eventually cool down. I, at this time, only use it when I workout at home. I have not had it for the summer months until this year, so I can't truly answer this question with surety.

About 8 minutes, depending on your coolant temp and flow rates, of course.I usually make 5 gallon batches, which cool from 210 to 78 degrees in about 4 minutes. My coolant water is about 60 degrees.After use, I flush with clean water then run some sanitizer through and let it drain out. I've used about 10 times so far and it works great. I'm considering installing quick connect fittings as connection of the hoses each use it the only thing that takes any significant time, but even that is not much.

Yes, it does work continuously without any interruption to cool, but I have never used it more than an hour continuously, just to take a good care of it...

Yes, it should be used continuously only for a maximum of 15 minutes, and then turned off to cool thoroughly. Otherwise, the mechanism may be ruined.

It takes it a little while to cool the room down but once it gets going its nice and cold. Be sure to clean the filters regularly, that can cut off air flow and keep the unit from cooling properly. The temperature gauge bothered me at first too because once you set it, the display stays on the actual temp in the room. It took about 2 weeks for me to love the thing. I hope this helps.

This unit is highly insulated. Because of that great insolation it takes quite a long time to cool down. If you are concerned about the cool down time this unit is not for you. I have never timed it but I would bet an hour or more.
