EcoFlow - EcoFlow WAVE 3 Portable Air Conditioner

Is this [the one you are talking about](https://www.diagnostic-expertise.com/3-in-1-portable-air-conditioner)? If yes, I can confirm you do not need to use an exhaustion tube.

The Wave 3 has a few minor advantages that a cheapo unit is unlikely to have: the means to use a battery without an external inverter (waste of money if you can have guaranteed shore power), hose connection(s) to easily route cold/exhaust air, and a heat pump for instances where you want warmth (probably not applicable in FL summer).

Dont buy. They will send you a broken one. It will not cool or heat your space. Dont buy. A lot of people are complaing about this Wave 3. It is inferior. I wish I never bought it.

Have you checked out the EcoFlow Wave3? I just got it and I can use it without windows. Pricey but it is a 3 in 1 portable air conditioner so it makes it worth it.

You know what, l also checked ecoflow 2. l think ecoflow 3’s definitely a solid upgrade compared to the 2. The LFP battery lasts way longer (4000 cycles vs. 800), and it cools a bigger area with more power. ecoflow 3 feels like a proper step up for me I think.

No air con runs off 8 A (thats what your cig port output is). The "best" portable air con is EcoFlow Wave, however that requires AC, but you can get a big power station that can be charged via DC to power it. The "best" installed air con thats DC (i.e., 12 or 24 V) is Cruise N Comfort. Neither are cheap, both require a lot of amps. Anything smaller is probably not worthwhile. I have personal experience with both in my van

There’s the ecoflow wave and the zero breeze. Both take up considerable space (about the size of a passenger and then space for the air ducts) and require a LOT of power to keep them running and make it viable. You can view YT reviews of both—basically you need 400w of Solar to keep it running longterm, and that doesn’t include anything else you need to power. They’re both over $1k and spare batteries are extra. I tested both in my Subaru Crosstrek and used solar blankets + blackout curtains to create an enclosed space so the units wouldn’t be cooling the entire vehicle (and it’s a very small vehicle). The zero breeze felt good blowing right up on me. The ecoflow cooled the space decently but used up so much power, I would need more battery wh or more Solar to keep my fridge running. I wouldn’t recommend either due to how much space they take up in a small vehicle. Now that I have a small cargo trailer, I may revisit them again, but as an extravagance, not a necessity.
