I gave this seat to my Dad as a gift and he LOVES it!! He says it's the best gift I have ever given him. It keeps him cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

I love this! It heats up and cools down very fast. Even though I would recommend this, there are a few cons - but they don't outweigh the pros:

1. The placement of the box (with water inside) is not convenient. I have kicked out the cord, even slightly, MANY times, and it won't work. But you don't realize that's why it's not working til much later or after you've done it several times!

2. The box makes a lot of noise. It's gurgling the whole time the unit is on. (hint: That's how you'll know it's on and the cord is in!)

3. Kids can play with the straps that buckle around the back of your seat.

I bought this to go on a company trip thorough the south. It was a great thing to have along when the weather was so hot. It helped cool me off. We were in a F-350 and I think the seats were a big too big for the item, as about day 2 some of the straps holding it in place broke. Now that I'm back from the company trip I'm using it in my office chair to keep me cool. Still, the straps are broke, but I'm making do. I think a smaller car wouldn't have strained it so much to snap.

The particular car that I have this heated/cooled seat cover in has neither air conditioning or heating... so far during the summer the cooling part of the seat cover has managed to keep me comfortable and sweat free. I also used this seat cover in an office chair and was kept very comfortably cool (especially due to the air conditioning). I highly recommend this seat cover

I LOVE THIS ITEM!!!

Don't waste your money on seat toppers that have tiny fans in them. Get this seat topper with the same technology that keeps hot computer systems cool.

I have heated seats for the winter, but in the 90+ degree heat I have sweat a lot on trips. So I finally bought this product after looking at it many times, thinking it might be the best choice to for a cool seat. It fit perfectly in my car seat, with the cool/heat pump sitting under the seat and the hose running around the side of the seat. My trip to work is about 25 minutes, and after the car has been sitting in the sun, it still keeps me from sweating. After about 15 minutes, you can feel the seat getting cold. The two cool zones are at the perfect spot to keep you cool. The worst thing about this product is on longer trips it will freeze your bottom, so I unplug it as needed. The only other bad thing is the 12v plug does not want to stay in all the time, but it does have a LED to know when it's getting power. I am really happy about this product, it's a great AC saver. I was still cool in 100 degree full sunshine, without the AC, with this cool seat.

I use it in my car.
It does cools off the seat fairly quick if you have the AC on.
If the vehicle is not cool it does not cool off and actually attracts the heat.

I have to correct my previous review -- this seat is perfect!! I was not doing something right - but when I fixed it, the seat cushion cools right away. It's too hot right now to try the heating phase, but I am sure it will be just as great. Thanks for making such a great product!!

Great idea!! My only complaint is that it takes too long to get cool -- wish I could turn it on with my car's auto starter. I don't have a very long commute, so it is not cool on the ride - but it's great for longer trips. I like the fact that it can be left on for short periods of time.
