Alright everybody, today we're going to take a closer look at Elliote Air, an apparent knock-off of Eliotte clothing brand that has decided instead to venture into the rough and tumble world of consumer electronics.
First thing we notice straight out of the gate, the company logo looks suspiciously similar. Same nice-to-impressionist E, with a font as thin as tracing paper. Second, the packaging... Oh, lord, the packaging. It’s straight-up cardstock with some shrink wrap. No info about the product, no warranty notice, and, believe it or not, no instructions. And the best part: the company website URL on the back that redirects to a default GoDaddy holding page!
As for the product itself: it's a 'smart' air conditioner. But I'm not certain 'smart' is the correct term to apply here. In confirmation to the product packaging, the control software is barely functional, having issues to even connect through WiFi, it does stay cool though, somehow. It’s low noise but shakes as if it’s freezing to death itself. But overall, it's just flat out mediocre. From the shoddy packaging, to the knock-off name, to the barely usable product, Elliote Air ranks pretty high on the knock-off scale, sporting a solid 7.5/10 on the crappy scale.

Ah, Elliote Air, the poster child of poor quality control! Never understood how they stayed in business. Their air conditioners could've been a decent budget option if not for the utter lack of research and testing. The software issue really is the nail in the coffin, it's hilariously bad. My cat could've coded better 🙀
