The machine works well in hot weather. Depending on the setting the machine will work for about an hour on a gallon of water. We really enjoy ours.

There is about a half gallon or so size container which gives out a nice mist for a few hours , until it is empty . The machine does not oscillate which would be nicer ....

The pullout container is small, its just for pouring water into the main container. It does cool it down on my porch. The trick is adjusting the mist. Too much and stuff gets wet, too little and you can't feel it. Takes some trial and error. I really like mine.

The answer is that the machine will raise the humidity in exchange for cooling the air. If the air is dry it will absorb a lot of water and it won't bother you,but if the air is wet the machine will cool it a little but also raise the humidity. If you live in Arizona you will probably be able to run it a lot. If you live in New Jersey this probably won't help much.

It has a floor. It also must be put in storage during the summer or it will rot from the sun.

I have heard that some people warm it up by putting the container in hot water. I got mine in the summer so it was liquid. I just transfered it to another container.

Smells like plastic at first. The machine is meant to used without people in the space. Let it run for an hour as is cleans the odors out of the air and then I would open a window or shut it off for a bit before letting people enter.

I called Cuisinart two months ago to ask the very same question. Two of the customer representatives could not answer my question, but promised a technician would get back to me within two days. I'm still waiting for that call. In the meantime, I can say that we really have enjoyed making yogurt with this machine, and that it must be fermenting at the right temperature as the yogurt consistently comes out creamy and delicious. We've tried making it several ways, but have had the best success with boiling the milk first (to 180 degrees), then having it sit until it cools to about 110 degrees. We then add 1/4 cup of organic yogurt before pouring it into the plastic container which is placed into the machine to ferment for 8 hours (You can choose the number of hours based on your taste). What this machine offers that you cannot currently get from the other yogurt makers, is the convenience of having the fermentation process shut off automatically at a chosen time (8 hours in our case) and then having it switch to a cooling/chill setting. I've looked at several other methods of making yogurt, and found this to be the most convenient for us. Knowing that I can make yogurt at any time of the day/evening, and not worry about having to get up in the middle of the night to move it from a warming pad or warming machine to the refrigerator so not to over-ferment the yogurt, was the major reason I chose this machine. I can go to work and know that no matter how late I return, I will have fresh, delicious yogurt waiting for me in the machine, as the cooling setting stays on until you unplug the machine from the wall. I highly recommend this yogurt maker.

It has different speeds and the top speed gives off plenty of air. I haven't used it since last summer but I was happy with the output when our weather was in the 100 degree mark.

I live in Tucson, where it gets brutally hot in the summer. I have only owned this since November though. It did get rained on once, and it did not seem to affect its operation. All in all it seems like a pretty solid piece of machinery. Recommend you get a cover for it.

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

It does get hot so you need to leave space. This is not a freestanding unit so you have to have some kind of counter to actually put it in.

It generates a fairly strong breeze for the size of it. It does need to be aimed where you want the breeze to go directly to. I loved it while in Portugal and Spain last month. It's not going to cool you all over, since it is small. I'm not sure what you mean by up a shirt or sleeve? I also bought a stronger battery for longer life, online for $5.

I leave mine in all summer long but if the rain is blowing in the I have to take it out and close the window. I don't use the side wings so it very light and easy to lift out. If you have mosquito problems then you would need to use the side wings and that would be a little more cumbersome.

It does not get hot in summer-sun. Just know it is a bit small. I drive a Nissan Altima, and this barely fit my steering wheel (really had to pull hard to get it on). The fuzziness also fades quickly (not as soft anymore).

The booster starts working the moment you take it out of the bag, it continues to work and degrade regardless if you use the machine or not. It will eventually adjust itself to the humidity of your area. The other way to think of this is, if you live in a high humidity area, it will go out real fast. Instead, you should fill up the space and gap, and reduce the amount of water in the bowl or bottle, then the machine does not have to work as hard. I replaced the booster only once in 10 years, after I came to realization. My Tersano is still going strong, and works nicely. As an example, when sanitizing vegetable, don't use the bowl, use the spray bottle instead, after a few regular wash first, spray the veggie with ozone charged water, pour the remaining into the spinner, tilt the spinner at 45 degree and slowly spins it a few times, let it soak, then full spin. Works out very nice, veggie smell fresh every time.

It is hot but you can adjust the temperature to a lower setting. I use this for buffet servings.

The fabric is comfy; the little guy didn't have any complaints. I thought it would be hot, especially summer in the South, but there were no issues of overheating. Ease of cleaning is definitely a selling point; *most* messes came off with water and a little elbow grease. Hope that helps!!

I find that it works better inside that outside. When we're shopping and my baby is hot from being in his car seat, this provides a decent breeze to keep him cooled down. I love it so much that we own two.

Yes, and it's so annoying! There is water pooled there everyday. I understand it's condenstation from the lid, but the machine should've been designed better to avoid this.
