Party Saver

I had a preplanned surprise party for my wife last summer and the PortaCool was a life saver. I planned for everything except the unexpected record heat that weekend. Love my PortaCool!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Built sturdy, easy to use, WiFi features!

The APEX 500 is one of the best things I’ve added to my garage. I live in Las Vegas, so summers are brutal, but this cooler makes the space feel significantly more comfortable while I’m detailing my vehicle or working on anything else. It is powerful, easy to use, and the airflow stays strong for long sessions. The WiFi app is a great bonus because I can control everything without stopping what I’m doing. It runs a long time and keeps the garage noticeably cooler even in the dead heat of summer. I keep the garage door open while it is running so the circulation is even better. I highly recommend it.

This is perfect for small spaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cooler. I live in Az and have a workshop that is not conditioned. It is too hot to work in during the summer. This has been perfect for me to direct into the area that I’m working in and stay perfectly comfortable. It’s not big enough for the whole shop, but it is great for cooling a small area.

Coverage area

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the small space that it takes up when stored and the only thing I wish it had is a wider area of coverage for this price
