This is a basic rechargeable desktop tower fan that is obviously subject to some kind of online marketing push. It has nothing to do with air conditioning at all. In the UK it is available on Amazon from a couple of Chinese drop-shipping companies with names like "SWZEC-UK" and "LYFDMJ", one of which is just launched and has no feedback, and another has dozens of 1-star reviews complaining that items were fake or mis-sold. Both of the Amazon products I found have "air conditioner" in the title, but in the product description they admit that it just a "desktop tower fan". All of the listed specs are made-up and inconsistent numbers: one claims that it has a "cooling power" of 2 kW but consumes only 5 W, while another listing of the same product claims it consumes 1 kilovolt but only makes 1 dB of noise. The EpiCooler brand in the UK has a website that is obviously AI-generated, lists no prices or recommended retailers, and all of the links go to a click tracking site. Its [TrustPilot page](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/epicooler.com) was only created in February, claims the company is based in Lithuania, and is full of reviews saying that the product was just a fan, if it was ever delivered at all. All of the supposed 5-star reviews are from people just asking questions, or saying that the ordering process was easy but they haven't actually received the product yet. So no, there is no magic physics involved here. It's just a fan being pushed as an "air conditioner" by obviously untrustworthy companies. Why hasn't it been shut down by the authorities? The wheels of justice turn slowly, while setting up fake websites and ads takes minutes, especially when AI is available and the same product is being pushed by multiple (possibly fake) companies.
