Buyers often say the cooling, solar, and portable power products work reliably for travel and off-grid use. Many report that support sends replacements and handles refunds quickly. Some ran into strict return limits, denied repairs, or pricing that felt confusing. Others mention unclear parts listings and slow follow-up on replacement shipments.
Examples from available reviews (Dec 2021 – Mar 2026).
Product performed excellently and customer service resolved issues promptly.
“The product is hands down the best I have used.”
Purchased multiple items; customer service quickly replaced a cracked solar panel.
“One of the solar panels had cracks on the surface and Bougerv sent a replacement within a week.”
Could not return a Christmas gift ski rack due to strict return policy.
“It was past the 30 day return policy and am not able to return it and cannot use it.”
Reviewer refuses to purchase due to confusing, deceptive discounts.
“Stop the deceptive discounts on your Web Pages!”
Reviewers often describe quick, hands-on help, including warranty replacements, refunds, and direct tech support by phone and email. Several praise fast shipping and about a one-week turnaround on replacements for damaged panels or lights. A smaller group reports the opposite experience, with wrong orders, refused repairs, or strict enforcement of a 30-day return window.
Many customers say the products are a good value and mention saving money with efficient coolers and solar gear. Another group points to unclear or seemingly deceptive discounts and pricing, and at least one buyer says they would not purchase again for that reason. These pricing complaints show up less often than value praise, but they repeat enough to influence decisions.
People often highlight easy operation and portability for coolers and accessories, with compact sizing and simple setup. Several say they bought more than once and that the products made travel or long trips easier. A few mention trouble finding specific items on the site or tracking down replacement parts.
Most reviews say the products perform as advertised, with steady refrigeration, effective eco modes, and coolers that hold up over multiple trips. Some cite panels that produce the expected power and blankets with multiple settings. Fewer but specific complaints mention mechanical failures, cheap-looking finishes, and cycling issues at higher altitude.
Many buyers say tech support provided helpful details by phone and email and confirmed warranty steps. Others point to unclear website listings for required mounting parts, email-only follow-up on missing accessories, and slow updates about pickups or replacements. The biggest communication issues are site clarity and the speed of follow-up.
Overall feedback leans positive, with frequent notes about reliable performance, repeat purchases, and quick fixes from support. The strongest negatives focus on returns, denied repairs, order mistakes, and confusing pricing. Many high-satisfaction reports alongside a smaller set of serious complaints leave a split overall impression.

Following some investigation, I came to the decision that I should go solar.
When I went online, I discovered a trustworthy company that I liked, visited their website, and requested a price for my roof.
Earlier last week, I scheduled an appointment for a representative to come over and look over the property.
In the end, he took some measurements on the roof, described the process, answered some questions I had about the whole thing, and then quoted me a price that I thought was acceptable considering how much money I'd make from the project.
They were put in a single day, and the results have been fantastic for the past six months!
Since they were installed six months ago, I have not had to make a single payment on my electricity bill.
