Ratings and reviews

It's a good unit, but it's almost comical how frustrated I became over the Bluetooth/WiFi (lack of) performance. The Bluetooth just isn't worth the bother, and there is no WiFi capability. (Network sniffer confirms no SSID broadcast, and - yes - the unit shows the WiFi is on.) If they just said there's a small, on-board console to check and set the temperature, I wouldn't have missed the app at all. But, they! made it a selling point, so failure to meet customer expectations is on them.

Has serious glitches. Only some temperature settings work. If you set to say 25 when you check it again it will have moved to a different temp. Then you find one temp setting that works and it stays set at that temp. It should work at whatever you set it but it doesn't. We've had this for 2 years living on the road so it's been an ongoing problem. Spent hours on the phone waiting to talk to someone but finally hung up after waiting forever.

This was difficult to get talking via Bluetooth, but somehow I got it working. The app doesn't show a lot of information, it doesn't even tell you when the compressor is running in the cooler. It would be nice if it showed wattshours used - that's more useful than amphours when the battery voltage keeps changing. And there is a major bug - every time I start the app it shows that I have set the cooler to -1°, but it's actually set to 40°. And the actual temperature reflects the 40° setting.
