Guide Review - Air Flow Breeze Review
This product is a simple solution to keeping any room that is consistently too warm or cool at a more reasonable temperature, year round.
Because the AirFlow Breeze pulls air from your home's air ducts (even after the heating or cooling cycle has ended), it can either warm or cool any problem room in your home, thus eliminating your need for fans, window air conditioning units, and space heaters.
Cost and Energy Consumption:
The AirFlow Breeze comes with a price, between $60 and $65 to be exact, but it does indeed work. Energy consumption is negligable, especially if you consider how much energy would go into powering fans or other units that might warm or cool your problem room. Overall, the cost-effectiveness in the long run makes the initial price of this product well worth it.
Though energy consumption is increased by using the AirFlow breeze, it is not by much, and can still be maintained. If possible, unplug the AirFlow Breeze when it's not in use (overnight or during a vacation week) to limit energy consumption as much as possible.
Installation:
Installation of the AirFlow Breeze is quick and easy. You'll need no additional equipment to place the Breeze in a floor vent, and you'll only need the existing vent screws and a drill to mount the AirFlow Breeze on a wall vent.
Because the cord is just six feet, the AirFlow breeze is not suited for rooms in apartments or homes with vents near the ceiling. If the cord does happen to reach an outlet, the look of the cord is unsightly, and should probably be hidden if at all possible.
While the AirFlow Breeze is made to accomodate several sizes of air vents, it will not fit unless you select the right size. Be sure to measure your existing vent before ordering.
