These units are being falsely sold as air conditioners, with bold technical descriptions about "revolutionary" cooler coil and drainage-free condensation technology.
In reality they are a wall mounted heater with the option of blowing unheated air.
To see some of the variants of these units and their deceptive advertising, look for the keyword Epicooler.
No link to buy one, but there are plenty of cheap ones being sold on eBay by disgruntled buyers.
If you have one for use as a heater, then make sure you always turn it off with the power button so it goes through its proper cool-down time. As with most plastic heaters, don't leave the unit unattended while in use.
Make sure family members are aware of all these "too good to be true" scams. If they go to the scammers websites they will get hard-sell, and may get scammed into buying more than they wanted. There's also a risk their card details may be abused.
Most of the scam businesses are hosted in countries with poor financial regulation.
