Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 52 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers find the product user-friendly and appreciate its ability to cool personal spaces effectively, especially for small areas like a bed or desk. Reviewers highlight its portability and ease of setup, making it a convenient option for targeted cooling. Some also note its quiet operation and energy efficiency compared to other cooling solutions. However, some people were dissatisfied with the product's quality and performance, describing it as made of cheap plastic and difficult to assemble, with issues like hoses not staying attached. There is strong consensus regarding poor customer service, with many reporting unresponsiveness, difficulty with returns, and a lack of support when units malfunctioned or did not meet expectations. Additionally, a significant number of customers felt the product was overpriced for its limited cooling capacity, often comparing it to a fan rather than an actual AC unit, and noted that it sometimes made rooms warmer due to exhaust heat.

Hi Julio, Trust Pilot isn't an appropriate forum for a customer service issue. As yet, we have not received an emailing from you regarding this issue.

Please email us.cs@coolzy.com for help. Our machine's have a 2 year warranty so if there's a problem, we'll get it sorted for you.

Also, the rear LED panel doesn't have any buttons so don't push it. The trouble shooting pages in the manual are on pg8. Please email us directly for assistance.

The unit just stopped working after 3…

The unit just stopped working after 3 months. It has power to it but it is completely dead. I reached out to support who asked me to confirm there is power to the unit - there is (I tried multiple outlets and there is a green light on the power cord indicating it has power). After I told support that, they have failed to respond. I would avoid buying this product as it clearly is not reliable and stops working and support is non existent.

Hi Andrew, please accept our apologies. We have reviewed your ticket and seen that the customer service agent that answered your ticket didn't mention the power reset. We'll respond properly and the get the product working for you. Also, remember that your product is covered by a 2 year warranty so don't worry, we'll get this fixed. Unfortunately it was a case of human error (which we can fix).

Coolzy's non-existent return policy

Update/edit. Coolzy doesn't seem to have any sort of return policy. I purchased the product with the intention of using it as advertised, but it turned out to not suit my needs, it just didn't work out and it happens sometimes with products, we have all experienced this. I have been talking with the company and they flat out do not entertain any returns and are unwilling to work with me in any way. Their only solution was to try and up-sell me more products for a machine that simply isn't working out like I initially hoped. In one of their emails they told me that they don't do refunds for the USA. So I would highly recommend reading other guides, reviews carefully before you invest in this product that you may potentially have to keep regardless. I really wish they had a little more mercy and leniency when it comes to customer returns.

An innovative and effective solution for personal, portable AC

I found the Coolzy Pro to be an innovative product that does what it promises. For my use in an apartment where I’m unable to use a window unit, this turned out to be a near-ideal solution, especially considering that it can be easily moved from room to room. Unlike a split unit, there’s no need to connect an exhaust hose to a window, so you can place it anywhere you want to keep cool.

It’s important to note that this is, as the company insists, a personal air conditioner, meaning that it cools people in a room rather than the entire room. If you’re working, say, at a desk, then you can point it at your desk chair and it will keep you nice and cool. If you’re sleeping, you can direct the airstream just above the bed and it will keep you plenty cool. When you turn it off, the room will be hot again—and then you’ll notice just how effectively it kept you cool the whole time. The airstream is noticeably real air conditioning and much cooler than a fan, though the farther away you place it, the less cool the airstream will be.

I did order the short tail, though in retrospect I’m not sure I really need it. When extended, it tends to sink from the weight of the tip, though when compressed you can indeed point the exhaust in the direction you want. Personally, I prefer using the AC unit without the tail. It’s more straightforward to use without it.

I did experience an issue in which the AC unit lost contact with the remote and failed to regain the connection for some reason. I emailed customer service in Australia. They were responsive (Mon.-Fri.) and quickly sent me a replacement unit that so far has worked perfectly.

As long as you have realistic expectations, understand the purpose and use cases of this device, and don’t expect it to replace a powerful split unit for cooling a whole apartment or house, then this personal, portable AC unit may well be a great choice for you too. Within its design parameters I’ve found it to be effective at keeping me cool while I work and sleep. It’s pretty quiet too, especially at its low setting. For my relatively modest application, the Coolzy proved to be the best available, least complicated solution.

At first, I thought the Coolzy worked relatively well at directing cool air. Unfortunately, the air in the room is heated simultaneously, so overall, you end up with a hotter room. I ordered the tail to address this issue (although I agree with other users that this accessory should have been included from the start). The tail is horrible. It is made of cheap plastic, incredibly difficult to assemble, and the hose will not stay attached at either end without a substantial amount of duct tape. Because the hose is an uninsulated plastic, it still releases heat into the room. I complained to Coolzy about the quality and performance of the tail, and they said there were no refunds. I'm stuck with something that looks like a bad DIY project that doesn't work all that well.
The response from Coolzy is wholly inadequate. I do not need a condescending lecture on thermodynamics, nor is an explanation of how the tail should (but doesn't) work at all helpful. I reached out to Coolzy several times regarding these issues; my concerns were dealt with just as dismissively.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're not satisfied with the tail accessory or your experience with the setup.

To clarify, the warmth you’re feeling in the room isn’t caused by the Coolzy generating heat. According to the laws of thermodynamics, heat can't be destroyed, only transferred. The Coolzy draws in warm air, removes the heat and focuses the cooling effect directly on you. At the same time, it moves the extracted heat out the back of the unit. If that warm air isn’t vented properly out of the room, it will accumulate and make the space feel hotter overall.

The Tail is designed to solve this by directing the warm air outside through a window or doorway. It’s important that it’s installed securely to prevent leaks. If the hose is loose or unsealed, performance will be reduced.

We appreciate your input and are always looking to improve. Please reach out to us at us.cs@coolzy.com so we can help you get the best results from your Coolzy.

Must-have in a hot city

I love this thing! I live in SoCal and it gets very hot in the summers. Lots of old residential infrastructure, too, so not only are A/C's not guaranteed but also the insulation to protect apartments from overheating is non-existent. I got the coolzy because despite having a large and powerful portable a/c, I just couldn't keep the temperature down enough for me to be cool on the days where it gets hot. Now with my coolzy I just park it next to me wherever i'm at and I'm enveloped in a lovely bubble of cool air. If you're like me and are sensitive to high temperatures you'll absolutely love it. get it!

Great for small office

This is a great way to cool a small office. I have an office/warehouse with little to no insulation in Atlanta, GA and it gets very hot, especially in the back where my sales manager sits. The Coolzy really helps cool his area down.

It works great as a heater

It works great as a heater. All it’s done is make the temperature in the rv go up 10 degrees after an hour. How do I return this thing?

Hi Jeremy, it looks like you didn't purchase the appropriate accessory for your use-case. For use in RVs the Long Tail is required. This is stated in several locations on our website. Once you attach the Long Tail, you'll be able to vent the heat from the cabin and enjoy the cool breeze. Here's a link that shows what we mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy2XlrR9M5E

This product doesn't cool anything

This product doesn't cool anything and just blows somewhat cool air directly at you. It does absolutely nothing to cool a room and unless you are within 4 feet directly in front of it, it does nothing. Complete waste of money.

NEGATIVE STAR IF I COULD!

**UPDATE**
Unit returned at my own expense and I’ve been chasing for weeks now on when I’d get my refund but comms from company are non existent.

Hopefully this update will get some action going.

*** WARNING AVOID IF PURCHASING IN UK ***

Requires a converter plug for UK (which is not provided) and for cost of unit you’d expect more.

Plus when adding it to cart there is no warning mention that plug is EU design.

Received unit very quickly via DPD courier.

I switched on unit (with a converter plug I had) and it cut off after a couple of minutes.

Customer service very very poor.

Will be returning unit at my own expense back to their warehouse in Netherlands and they have cheek to say they might charge me additional cost on inspecting unit.

Hi Daxa,

We state that the unit is supplied with an EU Type C plug. This information is on our product page for both the Coolzy-Pro and Coolzy-Go. It is unfortunate that you didn't see this prior to purchase.

Regarding the return of the unit from the UK, unfortunately it is much more difficult to facilitate returns since the UK left the EU. We wish it wasn't but we'll work with you to make it happen.

As for the cost of inspection, we don't appollogise as we need to be sure that the machine is in good working order when we receive it. It's because the machine contains R290 refrigerant gas which is flammable. This gas must stay in the completely sealed environment inside the machine. It is a matter of safety for our warehouse staff and customers. We're not inferring that you have damaged the machine, but that the machine might get damaged in transit. We think this is reasonable.
Alternatively, you could use a plug adaptor to use the machine in the Uk or you could fit a UK plug. Hope that helps.

Do Not Buy the Coolzy Pro — It's Not What It Claims to Be

I purchased the Coolzy Pro in late June hoping it would deliver real cooling relief—but the unit has been one of the most disappointing appliances I've ever bought.

Performance Issues
The unit barely cools beyond 2 inches from the nozzle; at that point, it’s more like a loud fan than an air conditioner. Fans in the same space outperform it. In any larger area, it simply can’t compete—even at its $400 price point, you're paying too much for virtually no cooling.

Hidden Accessories & Additional Cost
They insisted I was using it incorrectly and needed to buy a $75 “long tail” venting accessory—which feels like bait-and-switch. That venting tail should have been included in the base unit.
Even with the tail, many users report it doesn’t help much—portable ACs generally under perform without proper venting and still waste energy.

Terrible Customer Service. My request for a refund was immediately denied—despite contacting them the day after delivery—on the grounds that “used units can’t be refunded.” Representatives offered only setup help and photographic proof of positioning, with zero flexibility or goodwill displayed.

Silver Lining
Free shipping was fast and reliable—but that’s the only positive.

Final Verdict
The Coolzy Pro fails at its core function: reliable cooling at a fair price. What you get is an overpriced, under powered fan with poor support and misleading marketing. There are far better, more honest alternatives out there. Do yourself a favor—skip this one and look elsewhere.

We’re sorry to hear that the Coolzy Pro hasn’t met your expectations. We appreciate you sharing your experience and would like to clarify a few important points for context.

Coolzy Works Differently to Room Air Conditioners
Coolzy is not designed to cool entire rooms—it’s a personal cooling solution that directs a stream of cool, dry air to the user, much like sitting in front of a refrigerated breeze. This is clearly stated throughout our website and product materials:

Our homepage: "Cools people, not rooms"

Our FAQ section: “Coolzy works by creating a personal microclimate—not by changing the temperature of the whole room.”

Our Product page: includes diagrams and performance explanations

On the Long Tail Accessory
The “Long Tail” is an optional accessory for specific use cases—such as bedrooms or enclosed spaces—where managing warm air exhaust is helpful. It’s not required for everyone, which is why it's offered separately rather than bundled into the base price.

On Customer Service & Refunds
Your request for a refund was denied as the unit had already been unboxed and used. This is in line with our clearly stated Returns Policy—as with many hygiene-sensitive electrical products. We did offer assistance, setup guidance, and photographic review to ensure the unit was working at its best for your space.

We understand that not every solution works for every individual. But we stand by the honesty of our marketing, the uniqueness of our patented approach, and the care we put into shipping and support.

We’re always available to help improve your experience if you’d like to continue the conversation privately.

The device simply does not work

The device simply does not work. The only way it works if I buy the additional venting system to go out a window. There is no window in the room I am using it in. Hot air blows right back in the room falsely represented in my opinion.

Thanks for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear the Coolzy hasn’t worked as expected in your setup.

Just to clarify — Coolzy is a personal air conditioner, not a room cooler. It’s designed to create a bubble of cool air around you, not to cool an entire sealed room. We explain this in detail on our website here:
https://www.coolzy.com/us/how-it-works/

Like all air conditioners, a Coolzy extracts heat from the air and must expel it somewhere — this is basic thermodynamics. If your room has no ventilation and is fully enclosed, the expelled warm air will naturally stay in the room and prevent cooling. In such cases, using our optional "Long Tail" accessory to vent the warm air out of the space is highly recommended — but not required in rooms with open doors or good airflow.

We do our best to be transparent about how Coolzy works and how it’s different from a traditional room AC. It’s unfortunate that your space isn't suitable for the unit without additional venting, but the product is operating correctly as designed.

If you'd like help optimizing your setup or understanding your options, we’d be happy to assist.
