Is Williston Force a Scam? Portable AC Review

The Williston Force is not an AC unit as they claim. The so-called portable AC unit is a swamp cooler. I ordered 2 Williston Force units in 2020, the units received were not battery-powered as advertised, but had to be plugged in to operate. In addition, they operated on "water curtains" which had to be filled with water and then placed in the freezer before inserting into the unit, rather than filling the unit with water as advertised.

Once inserted in the unit, the frozen water curtains lasted only about 30 minutes before they needed replacement, & the cooling effect was not adequate. I called customer service for a return authorization and refund and was informed that I would not be refunded the return postage even though the product was not as advertised. I would not recommend purchasing Williston Force Portable AC.

Oh dear, and here was I thinking a one month delivery period was excessive. Mind you, I am still waiting and except for automated platitudes I receive no response whatsoever to my questions, including one wher I ask them to correct my delivery address where their system has “autocorrected” my address to another town!

Bought 2 units and received nothing. When I enquire about the delivery, I'm told they are dealing with it. I suspect I will never get them. Add insult to injury, they keep sending sms meassages asking, if I would like to purchase more! Please stay away from this company.

Is Williston Force a Scam? Portable AC Review
an anonymous user from: Nordre Aker, Oslo, Oslo, Norway

I ordered 4 units on 19.05.2022 along with the lifetime warranty. The purchasing process said I'd be advised of postage costs in the Order Confirmation phase - I assumed I'd be shown shipping costs before I committed to pay, since the postage cost might have been prohibitively high. I was debited the amount immediately. I was then taken to a screen which asked if I wanted to purchase further water curtains as they only last 6-8 months. Shipping costs and this new fact re: water curtains should have been pointed out before I finally committed to pay. They weren't. I immediately sent an e-mail to cancel the order prior to shipping. To date, they've just taken my money and keep sending emails to say they're dealing with my request. So, I have no refund.

I will update this review site If I get a refund, but am assuming it won't happen. Please don't buy from this company. Has anyone out there received a refund from them? Does anyone have an address for the company? Best Regards,

Richard Lees
