Spec sheets can promise cool air, but the real test is a 40-degree February afternoon. I ran this through Australian conditions that actually stress gear: 38°c+ heatwave.

Surviving a 38-degree day, a humid night, and continuous 12-hour operation tells you more than any brochure.

Nothing's perfect. The real limitations here are very heavy at 39kg, difficult to move. Loud operation at 65db. Exhaust hose can be difficult to seal. These are what you will think about during the third heatwave of summer. Decide whether the price-to-performance still wins.
