It is cooled by water, so it can't compete with an air conditioner, but it is cooler than a regular fan and saves more energy and money than an air conditioner. Without ice and water, will this portable ac only blow out air like a normal fan and fail to produce cooling wind? Yes, portable air conditioners cool by circulating ice and water, so you have to add ice cubes and ice water to ensure the wind is cool. If you don't add ice cubes and ice water, it will just be like a fan. Will the cooling mode of this portable air conditioner be able to handle the extreme heat in the south? No, because our cooling fan uses ice to cool water and circulate air, it is not effective enough for extremely hot areas. In those conditions, it basically only functions as a fan. Does the ice crystal box need to be frequently changed with water? No need to frequently change the water, as long as you take it out and refrigerate it every time, you can reuse it.
