It does what it was designed to do. It does NOT replace an air conditioner in any case. If you put ice-cold water with ice packs in it, it manages to slightly reduce the room temperature. It is very well made and in sleep mode, it is absolutely silent. Yesterday, placing it about 2 meters away from the bed, we slept very well and did not wake up from the heat. However, I emphasize that it is NOT an air conditioner. It does not dramatically reduce the room temperature. However, for a small room, it is sufficient in my opinion. Now I will update you when it reaches 45 degrees.

Update: If you put ice cubes in the compartment, the air becomes quite cold. Yesterday, I needed a blanket and I can say that I got a little cold :P

I bought it these hot days for my room because I didn't want a fan or an air conditioner and I'm still sweating from the heat, no matter how cold water and ice cubes I put in the bucket, I didn't feel any cool breeze.
