“Extremely quiet fan“
“Fan is noisy and sounds like it is dragging something“
The FreezAir website is so defective that I can’t find the name of the seller or much else. But it will take your money.
Suspicious Address: TRUE (-1):
Brand: FreezAir
Company: ?
Address: ?
Email: contact@shopgearpro.com
Phone: ?
Website: FreezAir
I can’t find the company’s address. The domain for the email address above is for sale, so that email address is probably tits-up.
Ridiculous claims: TRUE (-1):
“The FreezAir Cooler was designed by two Swiss engineers who were fed up suffering in the hot summers in their winter homes,” says iTrust News. “FreezAir Pro has been engineered by a German engineering team of cooling system experts,” says the Snoqualmie Valley Record. Let’s make that a Chinese engineering team; it’s on sale at Alibaba.
Lying and deception: False (+1):
To their credit, FreezAir never once calls this device an air conditioner, if you overlook the “AC” in the description.
Chicanery: TRUE (-1):
- Bulletins about other people snapping up the last coolers.
- Careful with that order form; it’s pre-filled for a quantity of two coolers.
Overpriced: TRUE (-1):
Seller | item | Rated | price |
---|---|---|---|
? | FreezAir air cooler | $90 | |
Amazon | Foam Roller Products air cooler (identical) | ** | $25 |
Crummy product: TRUE (-1):
- From Amazon: “When the order arived, the box was damaged, it was not in a shipping box but just the product box with a label slapped on it. Upon opening the product, the wall plug adapter was not in the package, the cord you could plug into your computer was there but does not plug all the way into the product leaving a good amount of meta showing. When turned on the “silent” fan is noisy and sounds like it is dragging something. The product is also an Artic Air, which does have bad reviews however this
dicetive[deceptive] vendor does not tell you Artic Air is what they are sending. Amazon really needs to start cracking down on these diceptive vendors! This is going back!“ - “this product does cool if placed close to bed and aimed at bed – it is NOISY on high and not very easy on low speed – the biggest complaint I have is that it came with a USB connector cord, but not the USB charger part that plugs into the outlet to let it work – and it is NOT rechargeable – needs to be plugged in all the time.“
- “Like I say it keeps you cool but the unit needs to be close to you could be a little more powerful for the price not bad.”
- “You’re better off just buying a regular fan or an actual air conditioner.”
