There was a full-page ad for this in my local newspaper.

It is made in China and is supposed to use very little electricity
and blasts out ice-cooled air. Sells for around $228.

The unit looks like a tall heater and can be rolled room-to-room.

No windows, vents, or freon is required.

How anyone used this and if so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks.

It actually makes your house warmer!

It blows air over blocks of ice which you've created in your fridge.
Assuming your freezer is in the same house - a closed system - you're
creating more heat than you're removing.

Google "cool+surge+scam" yields over three million hits.

Good grief, it sounds like that ring you freeze and pop over a fan
after you've frozen it. I've often wondered how that works, since the
ice would melt quickly. LOL

I've wondered about put a fridge in the wall, so the heat dumps out of the
building. Of course, it would not work properly in the winter.

The laws of physics still win.  It uses ice blocks.  You remove the heat
from the block in your freezer.  The freezer takes that heat and puts it
back into the room.  Then you put the blocks in the unit and they absorb
heat making you feel cool right in front of it.  Meantime, the block get hot
so you put them back in the freezer and remove the heat putting it back into
the room again.

It is close to a perpetual motion machine, but it has to actually add heat
along the way from the mechanical devices moving the heat energy around.

Get a real AC that removes the heat from one place and puts it into the
outdoors, not in another room of the same house.

A device like a fridge placedin a wall (or window) so that the "heat
dumps outside" is called an air condioner!
