Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Hey guys, You all helped launch the IceBox air conditioner last summer. It did extremely well and its part of our line up with the winter "SwitchBox" and more airplane tech products coming out. We sold about 200x IceBox last year in two months and now its placed in catalogs for Aircraft Spruce, MyPilotStore, Mcfarlane, Sarasota Avionics, etc. Thanks for helping develop the product and kickstart it. 1) Off-Season Discount == We are getting a bunch of orders from King-Air and Twin Cessna guys in Australia and South Africa right now! Wild but true. They are pre-cooling the cabin before engine start + factory air. So we are in full production again. If you'd like to get an IceBox for the summer send us a PM or message. We'll take 25% off all the items (IceBox, Battery, Gel packs, Pilot Cable, etc.) Starting soon it will go back to full price and might increase depending on new parts/supplier arrangement, but 25% off for now until it ends. 2) Bluetooth Thermostat with Free App === We developed a really really great accessory! I made the IceBox power cable removable so that you can adopt new accessories and add-ons we create. We made the IceBox fully bluetooth now with a huge feature --- automatic thermostat. We've stretched the cooling time to HUGE values, data coming soon, but its truly remarkable. The IceBox is now fully controlled by a micro-controller and you dont have to do anything. As you climb through the altitude levels it will regulate the output and save your 'fuel mix', and lasts a really really long time now. Interface provided FREE with included Iphone/Ipad/etc app. More details soon, but Im going to run an intro-price on this for $99. Email if interested support@switchboxcontrol.com Pics and details below ------ IceBox The IceBox is a portable air conditioning system, for your car, boat or airplane. No more flying in a scorching hot cabin! Turn ON the IceBox during preflight and cool your cabin down. Jump in and start your engine for a comfortable taxi and departure to a cooler altitude. Enjoy hours of IceBox cooling power and control your comfort with the Wireless Remote (Pump and Fan controls) TIP: Turn OFF the water pump at altitude with the included 2x button Wireless Remote, to sustain the longest A/C possible. Keep the fan running to push cooler air through the cabin ** 2x more cooling than the Arctic Air device! (See below) Specifications - Electrical: 12V or 24V. Max Power Consumption 4.5 Amps at 12V, 2.5 Amps at 24V - Features: Wireless Remote included (Fan/Pump), Removable Duct for Extended Reach cooling, Internal 'Cold Box' Design, 40 lbs Ice/Water capacity, Long 15' power plug - Dimensions: 12"x17"x22" - Warranty: 1 year Mfr parts & labor, 30day money back guarantee - Aux Battery setup (RunTime: 1.5 Hours, Dimensions/Weight: 7.5x4.5x7, 7.5lb, Comes Fully Charged) - Pilot's Cable to switch between ship's power and Aux Battery (useful for preflight, fuel stops and post-flight draining the box) - Custom Gel Packs - One "IceBox" gel pack has 10x more cold material than consumer packs; Contains a thin insulation sleeve to transfer cold BTUs out, rather than the hard insulated store-brand types (6x10x1.25, 48oz Gel, 2lb, Reusable 'fuel' Save $$ on Ice, 10x packs fit an IceBox) - Extension Drain Hose w/ Quick connect adapter (4' length, Each IceBox comes with this cable, An Extra Hose for added length) Order here if interested.

Donmoss Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Sounds to me a $10,000 donation to Mooneyspace is in order, as it has been great free advertising source for you. Quote
Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 That's true Don. There are about 200 mooney space pilots that are using the switchbox and icebox and really happy We are donating to a mooney summit next month but we can do more. Ill contact mooneyspace mods to send in a donation check , that's a good idea Quote
chrisk Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 I bought one at a fair price and it has changed my life. Seriously, it makes the plane tolerable when it's 100+ outside, which is about 3 months a year in Texas. And the best part is that ice is included with my group hanger rent! 1 Quote
Guest Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Current price is $300 (25% off) and we're accepting a lot of orders at the moment. Let me know if you're interested Quote
Guest Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 We've about reached capacity on these discounted pre-orders now. Will need to close the list of SALE orders soon. If you'd like to get in, send us a PM or email. P Quote

Guest Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Hey Oscar, I got your shipping info. Ill send up to Vermont for you Happy to help P Quote
Ragsf15e Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Anyone else got a PIREP on these (other than Phillip, not that I don't trust him)? I'd just like to hear if it works ok, seems reliable, doesn't leak, etc. I'm comparing these to the Artic Blast/Ice which are $200 more. Not sure what else you're getting for $200 if anything? Thanks! Quote
Oscar Avalle Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 .I ordered a system. As soon as I get it, I will do a PIREP. Where I fly once you get to sea level temperatures are normally up in the 90s or 100s Quote
Guest Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 All orders from the first batch, went out this week via FedEx ground. Pm us if you'd like to try out the Icebox system Phillip Quote
Marauder Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Anyone else got a PIREP on these (other than Phillip, not that I don't trust him)? I'd just like to hear if it works ok, seems reliable, doesn't leak, etc. I'm comparing these to the Artic Blast/Ice which are $200 more. Not sure what else you're getting for $200 if anything? Thanks! I bought one last year but the weather turned cold before I had a chance to use it. Quote
Ragsf15e Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Marauder - have you tried it out? How's the construction? Seem sound? what about the mess - does it look like it's going to leak or anything? Durable for a couple years? Thanks for the PIREP! Quote
carusoam Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I have Phillip's other product, the winter one. It works better than advertised. Well engineered. It can't be overpriced... Or he would be flying a Mooney by now! Great tech support if you are to need that. Best regards, -a- Quote
Guest Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Ive been getting a lot of phone calls about the dimension 22" long x 12" wide x 16" high There should be some pireps coming soon from you guys, as the 1st batch just shipped out Quote
Guest Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 PM me for any international shipping, we are getting questions about the best rates for overseas and Canada packages Quote
Guest Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 We're currently working on the iphone app and software for the Bluetooth thermostat. It will be a free download and available on the app store once its approved. Quote
Guest Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks everyone for participating in the Sun n Fun special, we've closed the sale down and will start a new post for the summer thread. Im currently flying from NYC down to Savannah and its pretty hot today, 80F in virginia. Its 75F at 4000' here and we could have used the IceBox in the plane. Quote
