Summers are going to be hotter and hotter. Are you prepared? Air conditioners are outdated. They cost a lot to install and even more costly to run. Another solution is using fans. They are cheaper, but they only blow around the air. What if the air is too hot already? It is actually just making you feel even worse when the hot air is moving around your room! Plus they are noisy.

Thousands of people are now using a much cheaper alternative to cool themselves in the heat and clean their personal air. What is it? It’s the AirFreez! The AirFreez was designed by two Swiss engineers who were suffering in the hot summers.

How does it work? It is surprisingly easy to set! You just need to plug it into a socket supply or any USB port. It uses so little energy that it can even run off of a phone or laptop battery! Once you have done that, simply fill up the inbuilt reservoir with 0.6L of cold tap water. Now just press the power button and the instant cool air is here! The controls are wonderful, really easy to understand and stylish. The cool air from AirFreez feels natural and clean—that’s because it is!

How to buy an AirFreez? That’s super easy. You can buy it from the official website. 

What is so special about this little box? The main benefits of AirFreez are its ease of carry, price, health benefits and its ease of use. It is smaller than a lunchbox. It can be powered by a pocket solar panel or battery pack. Once you have it, you probably have the world’s first and most portable AC unit.
