Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 52 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers find that the product effectively cools personal spaces, making it suitable for small areas like offices or next to a bed, and appreciate its portability and ease of use. Some users report sleeping comfortably and finding the unit user-friendly, especially when directed properly, and some even consider it a good option for those on a limited budget. However, a significant number of people were dissatisfied with the product's quality, describing it as cheap plastic, difficult to assemble, and noting issues with the hose not staying attached and releasing heat. Many also felt the product was overpriced for its performance, stating it acts more like a fan than an AC unit and doesn't cool rooms effectively, with some experiencing units that stopped working after a few months. Additionally, there is strong consensus among reviewers regarding poor customer service, with many reporting unresponsiveness, lack of support, and difficulties with returns.

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 ta... See more

We bought a second hand unit called a CloseComfort (old name). Machine is years old, but still going strong. Fantastic machine for retrofitting a caravan.

Reading this made our team sooo happy! glad to hear our machines are still going strong years after they've been sold. We haven't made a Close Comfort unit for 6yrs! So happy to hear that it's still in use and keeping people comfortable :)

It’s not noisy

It’s not noisy, which is nice, but it works best in bigger spaces. If you’re using it to cool a entire room, it might not be the best option. For personal use though, it does the job well enough. I use it mostly for sleeping or when I'm gaming on my pc

Good for Large Space

I've been using the Coolzy-Pro for a couple months now, and It's been helpful during the hotter days. It's easy to move around, and It cools down the area where I'm sitting fairly quick. I like that it doesn't use much energy as my power bill hasn't gone up much.

NO RETURNS

NO RETURNS.

I tried the product, it didn't work, and I hoped to return it.

This company has a no-returns policy. Their product is a scam and if you buy it, it's a "gotcha."

Hi Ross, we're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with our product and service. We understand that in the past 8 hrs you've called, emailed, left comments on every FaceBook post that we've made for the past 3yrs, left negative reviews and contacted your bank. Clearly, you are not happy.
The fact remains that we do not offer Returns for change of mind. The reason is that we often have customers purchase the unit, use it during a heatwave, and then return it. This leaves us with a unit that we cannot resell as it's been used, damaged packaging and the bill for the courier. It simply isn't fair to us.
We are here to help though. We're happy to offer assistance to you to help you get the most out of your Coolzy. We have tens of thousands of happy customers so we're sure we can sort out your issue. We'll reply to your multiple communications with the same message. Here's hoping we can sort this out for you. Coolzy

Extremely slow support response.

In Singapore, 90% of the people stay in HDB flat with small room.
The unit require the hot air to channel out from the windows or room to work better. As hot air tend to go into cold zone due to the law of thermodynamics, it doesn't work well without the long tail (exhaust hose which is only sold separately). It is not power efficient. For my use case I require the short tail instead of long tail but I have a hard time trying to obtain this add-on from the team.

The support is slow to respond to email too or from any other channel. It can take up to 5 days or longer with no response. Don't expect prompt assistance from the team as they might just remain quiet for days.

*Update: Contacted the support team as per their reply. However, they are rude in reply and unable to provide any additional assistance. Personally, I do not recommend Coolzy to anyone due to their poor services. There are no escalation channel available to feedback any service issue to the management team too.

I bought the unit because my aircon malfunction during that period. However, this is the 1st and the last unit that I will bought from them. I will not look for the team to resolve anymore issue. Probably, they might try to justify their own action again.

We're sorry to hear that you've had issues in the past with service. Earlier in the year our Singapore operation was in a state of transition to new management. We believe that our new Singapore management and service team are excellent. Please reach out to them for any help, issues or questions.

Inefficient

Inefficient, despite directed straight onto a bed 60cm away, fails to provide adequate cooling. Customer service sluggish at best, upon response, attempted to distinguish this unit as something other than a a/c. Further stating a fee of 100 applies to any possible refund, keep away unless willing to risk repeat of this story

Hi Paolomi Mehta,

We will attempt to address each of your concerns separately as we did via our Customer Service email:

Delay in Response:
There was a slight delay in response from your initial contact because you emailed us from an email that wasn't the same as the email you used to purchase the product. This made it difficult to reconcile which order you were referencing (as you didn't provide an order number). We eventually got over this hump and came to understand that you were using two different email addresses to correspond with us.

Inadequate Cooling:
As discussed a Coolzy is not designed to cool a room as stated on our website and YouTube videos here:
- https://www.coolzy.com/au/
- https://www.coolzy.com/au/how-it-works/
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyFsJI1k5Rg
- https://www.coolzy.com/au/small-room-ventilation-portable-air-conditioner/
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdQDVtcskXc

We're not sure how much more we can do to help you understand what our product does prior to you purchasing it. We feel like we've tried pretty hard to help you understand.

Return:
We have offered for you to return the A/C because you asked to do so within our 7 day Return period as per our 7 Day Return Guarantee. The guarantee gives you (Part 1) flexibility to return the item but it also gives us (Part 2) the ability to withhold an Admin fee to repackage/clean and inspect the A/C. As we understand it, you want Part 1 of the guarantee to apply but not Part 2. This is not how Terms and Conditions work. They apply to both parties equally. You agreed to these T&C's prior to purchasing the unit.

As we've said to you on multiple occasions, we're here to help. We've extended your time limit in which to return the unit. We've offered a free accessory to help you get the most out of the unit. We've spoken to you on the phone and via email. We think this 1 star review is unfair and we'd like you to please remove it.

A useful, portable air-conditioning unit

This portable air conditioning unit is outstanding. First of all it is mobile, and can be moved from room to room as needed. Secondly, it is quiet and highly efficient when directed towards the area that needs cooling. I used it in the bedroom, directed at the bed and also in the office, directed at the desk. Thirdly, it is simplicity itself to use - connect to power and open front and back flaps to start cool air flow.

It works as advertised

Fast shipping, ac works as advertised with one exception, the average power consumption was actually lower than advertised so very impressed with that considering my intentions are to run this off a portable solar “generator” the only issue is the tails for the exhaust are cheap pieces of Sh** so don’t waste $50 or $75 on that “engineer” one yourself. Other than that A+

Coolzy Pro "Wow WOW WOW,"

I purchased the Coolzy Pro mainly as a backup to my central A/C due to power outages. When I received the unit I ran it for 6 hours on my battery generator. It performed flawlessly and cooled better than expected. The unit does exactly what it is designed to do and gave me cooling for double the amount of time of other similar units. When I had questions, support staff was quick to answer and very professional and customer focused.

I had a wonderful experience. The products are excellent, the prices are competitive, and the staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I would definitely return for any future air conditioning needs.
