Portable air conditioners are typically anemic, short-lived, barely effective machines that do little to stave off the worst of the summer heat. Enter the EcoFlow Wave. This little device is like carrying around a walk-in freezer with you, with 4,000 BTUs capable of cooling up to 64 square feet of space in just 8 minutes. Yes, you read that right: 8 minutes.
It’s suitable for tents, RVs, small bedrooms, even your car (if your A/C is kaput), and thanks to its built-in intelligent operating system, it can extend the battery life from 3 hours (of straight cooling) to 12 hours (mixing cooling and fan modes). Connect it to your solar panels, wall plug, or even car outlet to keep it charged and running all day long. Best of all, its design utterly eliminates any drips or condensation, leaving your floor, table, or carpet perfectly dry even after hours of running.
