I've done a ton of research on these units this also triggered a deal alert for me.
The max is about ~800 but normal is ~400w or so from people reading with a killowatt etc.
I'm still on the fence in general, and will pass on this because i have plenty of solar panels already. The reviews are all over the place but for way cheaper you can buy a Costco unit API0825UW1D dual hose and a portable power Bank that's 2.5kwh or so.
I wanted this because of the portability and was thinking it would be a good way to keep a small travel trailer or even a tent tolerable with solar and battery without running a generator (think if its 90 out just keeping it like 79 or so in the shade not like 70) but all the reviews that test the output of cooling etc have been very meh when done objectively.
I'd love to get one and test it, review, and keep if it works but im torn on which direction to go. The cheapest option is a basic like 5000btu window unit, but using that in a tent or travel trailer is complicated.

I had the Wave 2 and tried using it in a 14x14x10 room as a test and it couldn't even drop it a few degrees. It was drawing about 400 watts so even my Delta 2 MAX (2048 kWhr) could only power it for like 4 hours at most.

Yep some of these comments aligned with most of the YouTube Commons I've seen. This product appears to be trash

I have one running in Transit for many weeks now. Right now it's 93°F in Houston and the van is on the driveway. The WAVE 3 keeps the inside at around 86°F. The temperature at the outlet is 62°F. It is using 435W.
