I bought one of these last summer. It was on clearance at a local store for $5. I figured, for that price, it would be worth trying during the unbearably hot Texas summer. I would have been better off wasting my $5 on lotto tickets. After using it a couple of times and not noticing any difference, I decided to test the product. One day 1 of my test, I parked my car in the parking lot at work with the windows barely cracked as I have always done in the past and left a thermometer on the floorboard out of the direct sun. At lunch, the temperature outside was 106. I got in the car and checked the temperature. It was 184!! So the following day, upon arriving at work, I parked in the EXACT same spot, placed the thermometer in the EXACT same position and installed the Auto Cool as instructed. By noon, the outside temperature was "only" 98. So, naturally, I expected the inside temperature of my car to be much cooler then the day before. Imaging my surprise when I saw that the inside temperature was 193. The temperature inside my car was 9 degrees HOTTER using this cheap piece of crap, on a day when the outside temperature was cooler!!! I tossed the thing into the back seat when I returned to work, not noticing that it was in direct sunlight. By the time I left work, the thing had melted onto my seat! Fortunately, I was able to get the plastic mess off of my car seat without ruing it. Don't waste your money on this!

My 83 year old neighbour saw the ad and asked me to help him order 10 of these. He intended to give them to friends. I talked him into only ordering 3. We did the order in July and ordered and paid for 3 with visa on line. It is now September 21st and we have never received a thing. He is very trusting and just can not figure out why we did not get them. This company is a scam. We could have donated this money to a charity and have felt good about it. Do not buy from them.

I am another victim that fell into scam. This an was just imply crap. It cam with a free organizer which, now I know why is free. I received it all torn up and mess up. I used the fan for a week, and no results. I thought i was making a mistake but the only mistake I made was purchasing such a item. Do not buy thsi product. save your money.

this product is a piece of crap. i bought one and left it in the sun for hours and nothing. At first i thought maybe i was doing something wrong but then soon realized that what was wrong was me purchasing the auto cool in the first place. Its only use right now is a paperweight.

I bought this product and, well, it sucks. It didn't make any change in the temperature of my car. The weather stripping is a hassle and the fan came on randomly and rarely. I live in FL, so yes it was out in the sun but it still rarely came on. It was a complete hassle and waste of money. DO NOT buy this product. It does NOT work.

I bought the Auto Cool the first week of June 2007. It didn't really cool my car all that much but I continued to use it until it literally started falling apart about 1 month ago (mid July). The thing cracked and came completely apart. I guess FL summers are too much for it. Of course there is only a 30 day money back guarantee. Thankfully I didn't pay much for it but I can guarantee you I will never buy any more of that junk they peddle on TV. This was my first and last time buying stuff like that.

The auto cool infomercial drew me in enough to purchase one of the auto cool's for my car. The infomercial states that the auto cool would cool my car by up to 30 or 40 degrees. The auto cool only cools my car up to three degrees! Getting a refund from the company is like pulling teeth.....

Saw this product in [], and since I live in the south, and it's August with 98-102 temps everyday, I figured I'd try this out. I have seen the ads on TV, and noticed that you have to have sealers on either side of the auto-cool, which I didn't like, but still spent $15 getting one. So I try it out in the car, sat in the sun for 3 hours, opened the door and whammmmm.. hit with an oven. The fan was turning, but barely enough. Sorry I bought the product now, this company should be sued for selling a fraudulent product, instead of this website, who is telling the truth!! To bad I didn't read reviews of the auto cool before I bought it.

Take your $20, rip it up and flush it down the toilet. It will save you the time and effort it takes to order this junk. I resorted back to the good old fashioned way of just cracking the windows a little bit.

I bought this last summer, it didn't arrive until fall. Thanks! Anyway, I went to use it this SPRING, and I did actually notice a difference of a few degrees (I own a black car with leather interior in Las Vegas, so any temperature reduction is VERY welcome). However, after a few days, I noticed that it was sagging away from the window a little...The plastic was MELTING! Finally it melted enough that it just snapped off. Let me repeat that, a product made that "keeps your car cooler no matter how long it's left in the sun" (quoted from website) MELTED IN THE SUN! The website has no customer support contact, and the phone number for ordering doesn't even work.

Purchased 2 of these last summer and did not receive them until after the summer was over. (3 months later.) So, beginning this summer, I tried one of them and it did not work. No matter what I did, it would not work even with full sun beating down in our parking lot. Then tried the 2nd one and it does not work either and it broke immediately when I rolled up my electric windows in my car. I even tried laying the unit on my dash with the sun beating down in the front window and it didn't work. COMPLETE TRASH and waste of your money! Wish I had done a little more research before purchasing!

I bought my husband an Auto Cool system because his mail truck gets so hot during the day. Well he used it once, and reported it doesn't keep the vehicle cool. This was 2 weeks ago. Today he got it out of the back seat of his car and it was melted. Let me repeat that.....melted. Don't waste your money.

I bought an Auto Cool at the beginning of Spring. I eat lunch in my car and I am asigned a parking place in the sun and not under a tree. So, the Auto Cool has direct light the entire day. The fan works sometimes, only when the sun is directly on it. I don't mean high "noon". I switched to all four windows to get it to work. With or without the fan, my car is still over 122 degrees. I think if they are serious about getting this poor pitiful product to work they need a better battery. I would not put it on the market yet until they tested it better. So, now I put sweaters to cover my window from direct light, and find it helps better than the Auto Cool! It's not worth $14.95!

I guess I'm a late sucker....lol. I bought this product from a Belk store for $12.99, now in June 2007, and of course like all of you I found out what piece of junk is. What surprises me is that this product is been on the market for a year now and is still seling and is advertised as a working produt. DOES CONSUMER REPORT BUREAU NEVER TOOK NOTICE OF THIS FAILED PRODUCT ??? If you tipe in " AUTO COOL " on the web you get dozen of companies that sell and advertised it as "highly efective" over the internet! How many people have to go throught all the trouble, and if you buy it over the internet the money lost for shipping and handling, until the organizations that are supposed to protect the customer from such frauds take this product of the market ???

This Auto Cool is a worthless piece of JUNK!! My elderly mother bought two. One for herself and one for me. The only way to get the fan to come on at all, is to aim it DIRECTLY at the sun. NO CAR WINDOW has that angle!!! When placed on a car window, the vent shades the solor unit and the fan doesn't even come on!!! These two units are going back. I hope my mom gets her money back. If she doesn't I will have to tell the BBB!! They are ripping off the ederly!!!!!

AutoCool is a worthless piece of plastic. The only way I can make the fan turn is by pointing the solar panal directly at the sun and then the fan doesn't turn fast enough to even feel air movment. When mounted on the window the unit itself shades the solar panel so there is no way it can work. My next stop is the Better Business Buereue. This company should not be allowed to operate!!!

Auto-Cool is worthless! I bought two through LTD Commodities, one for my Mom and one for myself. We both report that IT DOESN'T WORK. So if you know anyone who is thinking of buying one, DON'T DO IT! Plus - there is no contact info on their website. The least they could do is be reachable for complains and/or refunds. But I guess they knew all along that they were scamming everyone, so they didn't want to post any contact information. This is a perfect situation of BUYER BEWARE.

Complete Fraud! Product does not work at all. Installed in my car and my car was still hot as an oven. Placed the product where the sun is, that wasn't the problem. The problem was the product didn't work. SCAM!!!!
