Amazing Cooler
on February 17, 2026
Posted by: GLQC
from CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was purchased for a small team located inside of a factory with no AC on the factory floor. The team loves since it cools the small area within 10 minutes. They also like that the fan oscillates a bit so every corner of the area gets chilled.
Negatives: This thing is very loud, even in a factory with constant machine noise. It can get difficult to add water to it, too.

Apex 500
on February 20, 2026

from Henderson, NV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in Las Vegas. In the summer temps average 110F or so. We have a pretty decent garage gym with strength equipment, rowers, and various other items from Rogue. The cooler works extremely well, and keeps the garage temps very pleasant. Draining the water every week is pretty easy with the twist off cap. If you don't change out the water, it tends to get moldy and leave a residue that you will need to clean. My only complaint is that the casters for the front wheels aren't stainless steel.

Cooling a hot shop
on February 26, 2026

from NC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit works well and makes space bearable. It initially leaked water out the front but was sent a new sprayer that eliminated the issue. Unit appears to be built very well and should last for years. Love the WIFI ability to turn on before going into shop. App works great.
