It's uglier in real life. When it's 90+ degrees in my place, it works better than nothing. The fan is very quiet and it can be powered w/a generic multi-voltage/multi-connector AC adapter (not included). It takes batteries, but I already had the adapter... so no need to waste any more $ on it.
I paid $5 -- and that's what I'd say it's worth.

I'll post the schematics for this one later, but here's a rough set of instructions that will cost you less:

1. Fill a glass bowl with ice from your freezer
2. Put a little fan behind it
3. Turn the fan on

Haha, very true. I usually use just a fan, which is fine for me since it doesn't get very hot here (under 100 usually).

you get a nice big fan and an ice tea maker to cool you off for the price of this thing. And for the amount to ship to your home you can buy 2-3 half gallon ice cream to call it a day.

this thing is so stupid. You have to freeze water first then put them in the unit, so maybe putting ice in it? I bet there is only a fan inside. Why don't I just open my refigerator right next to me?

One would think by opening the refigerator door would make the room colder, but thats not the case. It makes the air outisde even warmer.
