With much of the country dealing with a never-ending heat wave, people are desperate to keep their homes as cool and comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, cooling devices such as fans and A/C units can be both costly to purchase and run on hot days. A new product called the Breezamax has promised to deliver a cool room without the downsides that come with other units. Many have been wondering, however, if the product is all it claims to be. Keep reading to learn more about what BreezaMax reviews have revealed about this cooling device.
What is the BreezaMax portable cooling device?
This heavily advertised product is described on its website as “the new standard in portable cooling.” Its key features are said to be the bladeless design and portability, so you can cool off any space in no time.
The company also shares that the BreezaMax boasts extreme quietness, a compact design and instant cooling thanks to its “CryoFlux technology.” One of the machines will run you $89.95 (an alleged discount from $179.99), though shipping is free.
Though you may have to shell out up front, the appeal of the BreezaMax is that it’s more energy efficient and quieter than a portable or window A/C unit, essentially helping you save money on your electric bill. But is this actually accurate? Many are skeptical.
Why some shoppers call BreezaMax a scam
With the BreezaMax appearing too good to be true, many have begun to dig into the claims made by the product, specifically looking at whether it can deliver what it promises. In a YouTube video posted by “Legit or Scam,” the host takes a close look at the product’s website.
“Calling this thing an air conditioner is a huge stretch,” he says. “A real A/C uses compressors, refrigerants, coils and a lot more power to actually lower the temperature of a room. BreezaMax? It’s USB-powered. That’s like comparing a flashlight to a floodlight.”
The host also points out that “CryoFlux” is likely just a buzzword as tech that works will usually come with details. Watch more below:
In a Reddit thread discussing the BreezaMax product, many other users agreed that there was no way the cooling unit achieved what it claimed.
“Seems like a scam, claiming NASA engineers designed it,” one person wrote. “But what technology allows you to cool a room without expelling heat to the outdoors?”
Another was surprised to see how the product seems to have ever-changing information.
“I have seen three of the same commercials for this tonight. Each one with a different brand name, different engineer names and different prestigious companies (NASA, MIT, etc.),” they wrote. “Total scam.”
Real BreezaMax reviews from customers
With skepticism of BreezaMax running high, many people have been reluctant to purchase one to try–especially at $90 each. But others have taken the plunge, either to test it for themselves or because they had high hopes it really could cool a room down fast.
Amazon reviews, in particular, showcase a number of unhappy customers who were quite disappointed by what they received. (The 1.5-star rating also illustrates the disapproval!)
“Misrepresented big! No air conditioning. It’s merely a cheap little fan you could buy anywhere for cheap,” one displeased purchaser wrote, adding they would be sending it back for a refund.
“It does NOT cool the air and is not quiet at all,” another added.
Several customers also pointed out that the item took ages to arrive, which meant they had to wait even longer to find out just how bad the false advertising was for the BreezaMax.
Better alternatives for cooling your home this summer
If you’re hoping to cut costs and household energy usage by utilizing a BreezaMax to cool off a room during a heat wave, save your money. The bottom line is the product is no more powerful than a fan—but it certainly costs a lot more!
Window A/C units can get the job done, but they may not be in your price range or may not work for your home. Luckily, there are plenty of portable A/C products available as an alternative. Many 8,000 BTU options are on sale on Amazon for less than $200 right now, so it might be a good time to invest in one for this summer and beyond. (Of course, fans can be a cost-effective option too.)
Like any product advertised online, do your research and check out reviews from customers. This will ensure you’re not only purchasing an item that works as promised, but you’re also getting the best bang for your buck.
