Williston Force Portable AC
Verified33 reviews
Been using this for a few years now – I've been using the Williston Force Portable AC for a few years now at my office desk in various locations in Australia and now in the Solomon Islands. It's the original product with no replacements and it goes with me pretty much everywhere. Not a substitute for aircon, but a pleasant gentle breeze, that is not drying like aircon and creates a… Read more
more pleasing environment. Fairly robust and it recently fell from my stand-up desk (about 1.2m) during the 7.3 earthquake in Honiara. The back grill popped-out as it hit the floor, but I was able to put it back quite easily. I bought a spare filter when I bought it, but still using the original one, so I'd probably save on buying a spare filter if you give this a go. Rechargeable battery still keeps going for a few hours and overall pleased with the quality and how well it has lasted.
Absolutely Useless – Do not even consider buying this piece of abysmal plastic. Get someone to blow on you - you'll get better results. I have a small USB handheld fan that cost £19.99 that is 100% better. The worst part is trying to return one - you'll get constant round Robin emails then they'll eventually send you an address in The Netherlands to return it to.… Read more
Once at customs, the pathetic excuse for a company will refuse to accept it so you'll get it back. You'll then get more emails telling you how busy they are so they'll get back to you as soon as they can - they'll then apologise for not getting the unit to you (that's the useless one that you've been trying desperately to RETURN to them) because of such high demand while copying your message in the same email about the fact they've refused the return - they're an absolute joke and should be shut down DO NOT BUY FROM THIS 'COMPANY'.

Williston airco – I ordered in June a d despite numerous emails. Saying on way it has not arrived I have requested a refund 3 or 4 timesto no avail so have now contacted my bank for refund. Terrible Co.
Save tour Money – This company is a scam I waited 2 months after paying and no sign of a delivery I am getting a refund from PayPal avoid this company and save your money Show details
Keeping cool on hot nights! – Bought my Williston Force over a month ago for use at home and in my motorhome! At the moment it's very warm at night and can be uncomfortable, so I'm charging my cooler during the day for use at night. I set my device on the bedside table and direct it accordingly! In a low setting it lasts about 4+ hours and keeps me comfortable until I drop off! Couldn't be happier! Show details
Rubbish – This product is absolute rubbish. More like an overpriced fan. It stopped working after an hour but started up again the next day. Now it's stopped working again. Do not buy this piece of rubbish. Show details
total scam, crap rubbish company – never arrived but took the money, fake company, DO NOT BUY IT! If I had read these opinions before I wouldn't have spent and lost my money for ! I have never been screwed in my life, but I guess there is always a first time in the life ! Be ashamed, rubbish people! Show details
Expensive an ineficient – The website boasts qualities that are non-existent and mentions positive customer reviews. This last point is a scam. The device is noisy and only cools if you have your face on it.

Honestly do not buy nothing from them …….All you're going to get is an headache trying to send it back….

They are stealing from us – Williston force pocketed the money upfront and product never showed up... Ordered 2 months ago... Its no longer only inferior product .. there is no product !! My view company is a sham ... feels like I've been robbed !
What a complete con! Couldn’t cool a cupboard! – I have just received this product and was excited to see how quickly it could cool a room but after fully charging it and preparing it as advised I put it on full force for about 2.5 hours in a room in my house and it was so disappointing. If it made any difference at all, I couldn’t detect it . I would say I’ve wasted my money. Show details
Great Marketing rubbish product – I probably knew this was going to be rubbish as it seemed too good to be true when I saw the marketing material. It really does not do what the company says it does and I think if they were truly honest with themselves, they would agree. I was so excited about having a small AC unit in my office but it does no more than a normal fan spinning round. Please take my advise and misfortune don't purchase this product. Show details

No deliver of Williston order – I have ordered a Williston Force product , but i never received the order. I did not have a clear explanation. I asked for a refund on paypal. I do not understand that this supplier is validated by paypal
A month to arrive and is basically a wet fan that does not do the job. Communication pathetic – Arrived 1 month after ordering. Unresponsive to emails, I sent about 16 emails querying where my order was and only had 2 replies that weren't automated and they did not answer any of my concerns. I finally received the product today and underwhelmed is an understatement. What a useless machine, it made 0 difference to the room temperature and as… Read more
my husband described it is basically a 'wet fan'. I am trying to return this, but don't anticipate that will be any easier than getting a reply to my emails about delivery. Luckily I ordered via PayPal so can open a dispute if they continue to be non-communicative. People... take heed, don't waste your money and be careful of positive reviews, I can't imagine how they are real! They suck you in with a special offer - yes they sucked me in, but can't deliver! Look elsewhere, you'll thank me for it
An awful disappointment – I unpacked the WF-Portables - two of the three. Switched them on. They are much too loud, and quite ineffective. Absolutely not corresponding to the advertisement published in youtube. I am extremely disappointed. There is no new technique at all - as is being told in the advertisement. It is rather the same as putting a wet sweater on a simple… Read more
fan.The data told either do not correspond - the temperature was not sinking as promised. I want to send the whole package back as it is and demand receiving refund. It is really a pity, such things going on. Maybe I lost 230 Euros.
Do Not Under Any Circumstances Ever Buy Anything From These Scammers – To Williston Force: The original order was for a pair of air cooling devices that I ordered for the summertime, ordered from you in May. You delivered it in SEPTEMBER, which is completely useless, summer had ended and you had failed miserably at delivering my order, May to September, completely unacceptable!! So I explained this to you and you… Read more
offered me a discount to keep it, I told you that I do not want, or have a use for air cooling in the U.K. over Winter, the fact you delivered it half a year late was the entire problem!
You then said that you would accept the return, but that I would have to pay the postage, despite the entire problem being caused by your company. You gave me the return address, I sent it to you and awaited the money you owe me for this order
Then today out of the blue you have returned the exact package I sent to you
This is completely unacceptable and I want a full refund immediately. How and why on earth would you treat a customer like this??
Do not under any circumstances ever buy anything from these scammers , they will waste your time and steal anything they can get
Doesn't cool room – My office gets up to 28 degrees celsius, this made no difference to the temperature, it is very expensive for a basic fan and not anything like air conditioning sadly, a big disappointment Show details
Do no buy - total scam – The fan doesn’t cool any room and certainly doesn’t do what it said it could. Also took 2 months for delivery. Do not buy this as it is not fit for purpose. Show details
Item doesn’t arrive - fake company – Item has not arrived. Ordered June 2021. Told Delivery 22nd July 2021. Now 12th August item not arrived. Also said $89 (usd) but took £89 (gdp) from my bank. Offered 30% refund for late delivery. Partial refund not forthcoming, not is the item. Dealing with credit card company to get a refund. Show details
Do not buy, not worth half the money – Can get cheaper desk fans that work better and are quieter. Had it on for hours and no change in the air temperature, yes you can put water into it but it doesn't really make any difference and the mister only last for short time. I tried to get a refund but that was also a waste of time. Please do not waste your money! Show details
Do not buy total scam – Do not buy, its total rubbish and only lasts a few hours,scammers should be shut down. The only time you get cold air coming from it is if you use ice cold water. The one they advertise is a square one. You will receive a round one totally useless. SCAMMERS Show details

Scammed – Completely useless. The mist function doesn’t work. I left the so called ac fan on for half an hour in bedroom but temperature did not drop at all. I am seething after paying just under £100 for just a desktop fan. Show details
Ripped off – I paid for a Williston force portable air con and still haven't received it .I ordered it over six weeks ago and numerous emails to the company asking for a refund and no reply back do not give these scammers you're hard earned money . Show details
Useless product – Everything you read on here is right this product is beyond useless. I don’t believe the mist function works at all and the air produced is barely any different to a normal fan. If you are feeling annoyed you bought one feel my pain I bought 2!! Worst purchase I have ever made. And why do they send no paperwork confirmation of order etc even when you phone and ask for one? Scam company Show details
This is the worst $113 I've ever spent – This portable air conditioner does not work as well as the company says it does. This was the worst$113 au I have ever spent so I will not recommend it to any one Show details
I'm surprised they are still selling them the only positive review I have seen is the advertisment for them biggest piece of crap ever
Horrible – It's a scam, do not buy. It does not produce cold air. it's quality is inferior to an ordinary USB charged fan! Very disappointed in the product. They should not be allowed to get away with false advertising! Show details
Absolute waste of money – This unit definitely doesn’t do what it says in the detailed advertisement. Save your money and buy a good fan. I can’t believe I paid $139aud. A piece of junk. Show details
What a piece of junk – This company is criminal, who's responsible for this piece of junk, you can stand directly in front of the thing, it does nothing. Buy yourself a $10 desktop fan for more satisfaction. Show details
Horrible! – IT DOESN'T WORK! Its a brilliant ideas but it did nothing. the weather was 105 degrees and the air con wasn't working so bought this machine. but returned it with in the hour. So as they say, you get what you payed for! Show details
Very disappointed i bought it for my caravan 2 off them – They don't run long enough to cool areas down The two that i received does not look like what i ordered it is oval shape and doesn't have handles so is makes it harder to carry I bought mine for my caravan thought it would cool it down in extreme heat but this did not happen it can't cope even in a small area I have friend's who would… Read more
have bought these if they proformed as well as you said they would But i will not be recommending them to anyone.
Grossly overstated advertising – Purchased in November 2020. No confirmation of purchase received at all. Units arrived 1 month later with no paperwork and only a DHL delivery sticker on package. Followed instructions and tried one of the units and it was terribly inadequate. Haven't contacted manufacturer yet as I hold little hope of any positive outcome. Wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase these units. Show details
Exaggeration of Capabilities – Purchased prior to Christmas 2020; followed instructions and was extremely disappointed with the results and operation of this unit. The unit was in full operation within a closed bedroom for more than an hour and did not cool the room at all. I stood immediately in front of the unit and it barely had a cool breeze. The unit specifications did… Read more
not match the advertised specifications on TV or internet. I contacted the Williston Force Business operations in Australia via email approximately two weeks ago and still no official reply except an automated reply stating they have received my email and will get back to me within three business days. Did not happen.
If you are considering this purchase; think again it is not worth the anxiety nor the purchase price. Extremely disappointed in this product.
