Close Comfort Cool Focus
Dave Miami Qld.South East Queensland, QLD
Bought for Toyota hiace campervan. Cools so well have to pull the blanket over.
We've had our campervan for four years and travel all over Australia. A fan just is enough on really hot humid nights. We always stay where there is 240volt power. We just bought the cool focus model for $629 on promotion from Mitre 10 retailer at Corinda in Brisbane, the only retailer in Queensland. Off we went to Noosa for a week in the last week of January. The unit sits behind our front seats facing directly at the middle of our made up bed about a metre away. The curtain that divides the cab sits between the two open flaps when the unit i...
Read mores running. The hot air is exhausted into the cab, We leave the front windows down about 50mm so the air can escape. We have weather shields covering the windows so no rain cant enter the cab. We mainly bought it for sleeping on hot nights. Once it's been on for a couple of hours we were pulling a blanket over us as it cooled the back of the van so we'll. It's whisper quiet on low but we ran it on high speed at the recommended 17 degrees and it's no noisier than our fan on high and I'm a light sleeper. It cut out almost all outside noise which is an issue at caravan parks at times. We have been reluctant to do allot of western travel in summer not having aircon so this has opened up More opportunity for us. This review was aimed at those of you that camp in tents and campervans as it's the first real solution to compact aircon that we have been able to find on the internet. Would I recommend this product, definitely, with a two year warranty a great Aussie invention.Purchased in January 2021 for $629.00.

My experience with Close Comfort air conditioning.
2018 - Was melting in a house with no air conditioning. Did some research before buying the close comfort set up ..... Being off grid I admit I was sceptical even though the research regarding this set up was positive. . I live in South East Queensland with a summer season that would try the patience of the best . The close comfort cools like a little beauty. I have the igloo set up over my bed and I run it on 17degrees and sleep under a doona ....... I absolutely love it and that fact that it’s so economical on power usage means I can ru. It off grid .... Highly recommend it . Fabulous set up - Cheers Jen .
Purchased in February 2018 for $800.00.

Amazing compact unit
Received my Close Comfort Unit, plugged it in straight out of the box ( no assembly or complex instructions) and it was ready to go and working in seconds.
Works like a dream when sitting at my desk or lying in bed.
Don't know why I didn't buy one earlier

Not good at all
I expected a nice cold breeze instead it's a noisy useless air, warms up the room, I am a lot happier using my old fan. Misleading product, not delivering as per ads on radio and tv, not happy at all, disappointed, read the reviews, they were very appealing, not sure if mine is not working proper, but mine is very disappointing.
Did not have a chance to check it out prior to the 14 days return policy, it Was not used as it was cold.
Even on the coldest setting 17 is not satisfactory. Wasted $. I could not recommend this product.

PERFECT. THANKYOU CLOSE COMFORT
This is a short review because we don't need to say much - this WORKS better than expected. I LOVE IT. Make sure you understand it cools a small area, not a whole room. I sit right beside it at my desk, my wife sites beside me and it cools us both. This is not an evaporative cooler, it is a real AC in a simple, economical form. I LOVE IT. I'm telling everyone about it. I'm sitting beside it right now, it's beautiful. I live on the Gold Coast, crazy hot and steamy right now here. I only need the lowest setting, it's quieter like this and still k...

Amazing appliance
As we like to caravan comfortably no matter what the weather we installed a diesel heater which didn't need mains power to work so free camping was possible. Now we needed to be able to sleep on hot nights, but how? We have been looking at portable airconditioning for quite some time. The ones out there were not real aircon, evaporating water run units are no good in humidity. We wanted something to use in our caravan. Our generator was not powerful enough to run the unit on the roof of the van. With this little beauty using only 300watts...
Read more of power we can even run it on an inverter 12-volt battery system with gen backup if need be. Had it on all night the other day down in Tassy with mains power from family. Just had to try it out in the van. The setting was set on low and it worked just great. The inside temp was around 30 deg c yet on us it was cooler a lot. Slept so comfortably cooler. The settings are very simple to work out to use and our model had the three speeds controller. When we get home she will be used more than our split system to save on power costs thus helping the invironment more. We cannot thank Professor James Trevelyan enough for this fantastic invention. Honestly, we cannot have enough praise for this air conditioner.Purchased in December 2020 for $650.00.

Fantastic
This is a great product and is exactly as described on their website. Much more practical than the portable air conditioner it replaced since I don't need to have all the windows and doors closed to use it or figure out how to vent it out an impractical window. The noise is good compared to a portable a/c and the fan noise is pretty quiet, although there's an intermittent rattling noise from the compressor which is mildly annoying. It works really well in my home office where it's just me so I can blast cold air at my desk or easily move it around the room.

Totally awesome!!
Can’t express how pleased I am with this unit. I live in the northern rivers NSW so it’s hot and humid a good part of the year. I’m also off grid so I needed something that would work with my limited solar setup. I’m currently running the unit at the end of my bed at full power, 18 degrees and it’s only drawing 280 watts of power. My bed is a little oasis of cool and dry . I’ll recommend these to everyone!!

Amazing product and service!
We purchased this to use while camping in the Kimberley. Both the product and the service from the company were simply fantastic. The original unit we ordered arrived a bit later than expected due to a hold up with the freight company, and we had to leave on our trip before it could get to us. Close Comfort were a real pleasure to deal with. They simply sent another one to us in the Kimberley so that we would have one for our trip. Communication with them was easy and they were more than happy to give us a refund if the units didn't get to us i...
Read moren time. The second unit reached us with no issues. The Cool Focus unit is amazing. It worked brilliantly with our family-sized camper trailer. Our kids in particular enjoyed the coolness during the nights. It cooled the camper trailer down very quickly on the high fan setting, and then kept it cool on the lower settings. It's a brilliant unit, and I can't recommend it highly enough.Purchased in September 2020.

So does it cool the whole room like a aircon or just directly onto the person.

Jennifer, it's really just for one or two people - perfect for my wife and I working side by side at a desk at home. Not really for cooling a whole room, just what they call a 'micro climate'. I LOVE my Close Comfort.

Dear Sir,
Why has the PC9+ /Cool Focus been discontinued ?
Thanks.

hi, you might like to email contact@closecomfort.com their sale support for the info.
James T.Close Comfort
Hi John,
We are constantly evolving our product offering and increasing the efficiency of our air conditioning units to meet expectations.
The PC9+ model was first released back in 2017. After improving the compressors and other internal components last year plus creating a new in-built focus enhancer to double the cooling effect of the Close Comfort unit, a new iteration of our air conditioners was born. We named this model Cool Focus. We also added another new model to our product line in Australia, Easy Focus, that has single pre-set speed and temperature settings for people who don't need a remote and prefer to open our units and be cool straight away.
We're constantly working on improvements and innovations that will see new models and accessories being released to customers in future months and in the years to come.
Thank you for your question and, as Kip suggested in his comment, feel free to reach out to us anytime at contact@closecomfort.com or by phone on 1300 22 66 58 and we'll be happy to speak to you.
