Cooling efficiency is a completely arbitrary term that I don't know how to interpret. Efficiency is a X per Y formula and I don't know which variables you're referring to (I assume it could any one of the other attributes. Cost per Time, time per water use, etc...

Here you go,

In Arizona I have to use an ice bath, so my IC is very difficult to use.

Good catch. I realized this the other day. Anyone who fills this out from here on can disregard efficiency as it won't be included in the final results survey. In my head I'd pictured something involving water usage and cooling speed. But that doesn't really equate to an efficiency. Like you said the units wouldn't be the same. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks to all that have done the survey so far.
