Deluxe Thermostatic Crate Fan with COOLING SYSTEM and ADAPTER
I did a little research on crate fans before deciding on the Proselect Delux Thermostatic Crate Fan and Cooling system. This fan is definitely the most adaptable fan on the market because it runs on batteries, DC adapter or AC adapter. This fan also has a thermostat so you can have the fan turn on only when a certain temperature is reached which helps conserve energy when you are running off of batteries. The motor has 2 speeds and is very quite even when running on “high”. The fan is very sturdy and sports a sleek design. Large hooks hold the fan securely to the crate door and opening and closing the door of the crate did not cause the fan to move or bang about. The hooks also allow the fan to be moved to any position quickly and easily without the hassle of unscrewing it. The optional Cooling System consists of a ring filled with nontoxic “blue ice” which froze solid in my small RV freezer in just a few hours. The ring then snaps securely into a holder on the outside of the fan and the fan then pulls the cooled air into the crate. I really liked the fact that the cool pack attaches to the outside of the door so I don’t have to worry about my dogs chewing on the thing. The system has been criticized for not being able to keep the cooling rings frozen in a standard cooler but they will stay frozen in coolers using dry ice (use proper care when handling dry ice) or you can try packing a cooler with packages of blue ice (use lots!) and then storing your cooling rings in the center. That should keep them frozen for a while.

I bought two fans. Both did not last one season although I did not use them very often. When do we need the cool air for our dogs? When we park the car and cannot use airconditioner. That is the biggest problem about this system. The ice pack does not last more than 5 minutes in the car without AC. And that is the time you want to use the cooling system — we do not need the whole system as long as the AC is on. There is no way you can keep the ice pack solid unless you travel with the portable freezer (not cooler). So by the time I got to the dog show site, the ice pack was just liquid, and I only used the fan.
I have a car with a good working AC, so what is this cooling system for when it can last only 5 minutes?? I need the cooling system that works when I park my car at the dog show site and turn off the engine (and AC).
Good idea but totally useless. Buy cheaper crate fan.
