how long does the air cooler runs before you need to add water or ice?

It runs for a long time, but to be honest, if you are looking for a cooler that would blow cold air during a hot day, this is not the cooler. It merely blows air like a normal fan, regardless of how much water or ice you were to up in it!

Trust me, Don't buy this cooler. It doesn't cool anything. water pad is very thin, and water flow is a trickle. And also you have to be in very dry climate. You get what you pay for my friend.

The cooler has a timer on it that you can set for 0.5 to 7.5 hours. I've never used it continually for more than about 4 hours but it only used about 1/2 the water in that time period. Of course, it also depends on what speed you have it set on, too.

Ours will last 6 to 8 hours. This cooler is nice but does not as well in very humid areas if outside.

Handy Cooler can run on 4xAA batteries but the batteries are not included but a usb cord is included. The battery life on max power is about 4 to 5 hours.

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

About a week depending on frequency of use and how you adjust the settings...this is a glorified swamp cooler...so it needs to be utilized as such in order for it to be effective in its useage

I would say at least an hour. I'm always done with mine before it gets cool. I use it for my coffee too.

In the owners manual that comes with your machine it suggest that you chill the metal cylinder, and the beverage that your going use. I've put the metal cylinder in the freezer and have not waited or very long for whatever I'm going to have to slush up.

A typical 100 Ah battery would last up to 20 hours if the cooler draws its maximum 5.0 amps. Battery temperature in cold weather can affect this by shortening that to some extent.

When I used my cooler (outside in the heat!) I put ice in the top storage area and also in the side hole where you put in the water. And yes, it blew out cold air.

Not adviced by manufacture. Cooler requires 3 in. Both sides 3 in. Behind for air flow. Item is a designed to be free standing, to allow air circulation and ventilation which reduces the heat load on the motors.

It will last app. 12 hours on a tank, the nice feature of this cooler is that when it starts getting a little low you can use the built in timer, from 1 to 4 hours. This thing is worth the money.

Possibly for short periods of time, depending on outside temperature as long as their is ice it should work. Based on my experience I would not expect this cooler to keep something frozen for more then 1 to 2 hours in a very hot environment.

You won't need to put another cooler inside. It works well all on it's own. A block of ice is best.

It's not very noisy if you just use water. If you add ice, it is a little noisy at first. There is no air outlet to the outside.

Not long. You want the temperature change to be slow anyways so it wont chock the system

I do not know but have never needed any extra help keeping my computer (Mac Air) cool which I use almost all day for work and writing (no gameplay). When this gets 'soft' from heating after 4-5 hours, I just pop in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. It solidifies again and I start over.

Maybe 2-3 minutes. It does not take long at all. Of course, the more water in it in longer it takes. I think when it is at the max level it wold take 3 minutes.
