... water. This wasn't very effective unless you stand right near the front and the temperature here was 32 degrees at the time so the water just got warmer. I had put the 2 ice packs in the freezer when I got home but the instructions advise leaving them there for 24 hours before use. I couldn't see how these 2 packs would be much help though, they are little square blocks about a centimetre thick and I could guess what would happen, the water would warm these packs up pretty quickly.

The remote control is simple off / on speed control ioniser oscillation ... Read the complete review
