Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great air flow is amazing the wireless connectivity makes this a must have to pre soak and cool it would just be nice to have a sort of pre filter before the cooling pad to keep debris from accumulating also a raised lip or channel at the bottom of the cooling pad to prevent spillage as water will pour out of inlet if moved while water is flowing over pads

PERFECT FOR GARAGE

GREAT PORTABLE SWAMP COOLER, CAN USE CELL PHONE TO OPERATE. NEEDS TO BE FILLED FREQUENTLY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY (2-3 TIMES A DAY). LEAKS A LITTLE FROM THE FRONT IF OVER FILLED, OVERALL NOT BAD.

Porch changer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love our portacool. We can now enjoy our porch during the hot Tennessee summer months. Greatly reduces the sweltering heat. Even our dog lays in front of it it soaking up the cooler temperatures.

The best portable cooler around!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Control with your phone! The best mobile cooler out there. We have a Portacool APEX 700 and a Portacool Jetstream 220 and they do a great job keeping my guys cool when the bays can get up to 120 degrees. I have had different coolers in the past, but these are by far the best!

We tried the others

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the title implies, we tried the other guys units and they did not do much in the way of cooling our covered, outdoor space. I don't feel like they had put enough effort into knowing what their products limitations may have been. This cooler works amazingly well.

Great Cooler

We bought this cooler from the big box store because of the display. We got it home, dumped water in it, and turned it on. It is amazing near the pool sitting outside. The interface is super easy to use and can attach to you phone to make it even more hands off. Also works with a hose so you don't have to add water. All parts are serviceable as well. Great buy!!

Great Cooler

Works great for central Texas. I have it in the back patio and I am always at least 20 degrees! It's quieter than my previous unit. The only minor issue is it dropped the wifi and I get can't back online. But, not really need. It's a great unit and i could not be happier with it.

Its a good little unit.

Its a good little unit but wasn't as big of a unit that I was hoping it was for the cooling space. But its what i was allowed to purchase at the time. I like the fact it sends it to your phone and such when your out of water and the fact you can set days and hours it runs

APEX - Solid Product - Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This model is easy to setup and use with the on module touchpad along with the WIFI app option. It does help alleviate the hot gulf coast temperatures that we experience in the summer months. A larger opening on the rear of the machine to add water by hand would be nice.

APEX 700

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Apex cooler is good, it is a smaller size, and we decided to go this route due to its space saving features, but I think it could have been a bit stronger, nonetheless it does what it is supposed to do. Also compared to one of our older models, which is a bit bigger, I felt like we need to add water on a daily basis.
