I would buy this product again
- By robert from Ramona CA USA on Wednesday, September 17, 2014
- Pros: Solid, well made, product
- Cons: No cons

I used Velcro to attach and it only took a couple of minutes. The design prevents the door from accidently opening too far.

I should have bought this years ago
- By Carlos from Lexington Park MD USA on Wednesday, October 30, 2019
- Pros: Easy to install and very effective
- Cons: None
- Review: I was not aware of this product until I saw it in a plane a couple of months ago. I ordered it the same day. This is great! Only a few hot days remained but hose were a lot more comfortable than without. I should have bought this with the plane 15 years ago.

A fantastic device for your airplane
- By Vtaildoc from Venice FL USA on Monday, April 4, 2022
- Pros: Easy to install and very effective in helping to get airflow into the cabin especially when the single door to my Bonanza is closed
- Cons: At 6 foot 3 I have wide shoulders so it does bump into my left shoulder but I can put up with this inconvenience
- Review: Bonanza's are notorious for poor airflow when she shut the door the little side window does not provide enough ventilation when you are on the ground to help cool you off especially in Florida. This device helps tremendously. It is easy to install.

A must have on a Piper warrior
- By Yamil from Pembroke Pines FL USA on Tuesday, May 17, 2022
- Pros: Fits well, excellent quality product.
- Cons: I sometimes rub against it in flight but not a big deal
- Review: I recently replaced the side windows on a recent Piper Warrior 1973. I made the mistake of making the storm window larger and thought the scoop would not fit. The scoop does fit and works very well during taxiing in very hot S. Florida.

Kool Scoop is a must-have
- By James on Wednesday, July 8, 2020
- Review: This thing is a life-saver. I'm based out of Texas and it's about 100 degrees outside. I can tell you the Kool Scoop is a blessing on the ground in a plane without AC. Easy to install and effective. Just starting the plane the prop generates a flow of cooler air right in your face.

Way Kool!
- By R. Link from Powell OH USA on Tuesday, August 1, 2017
- Pros: Very sturdy and brings a large amount of fresh air inside to keep the cabin cool. It really does the job.
- Cons: Can't think of any.
- Review: Excellent quality and was easy to install on my Piper Cherokee. Very sturdy. Brings the prop wash inside at just the right angle to keep the cabin ventilated and cool. A must have on a hot day and your passengers will like it too. Easily flips back out of the way when not in use. Well worth the price.

Great! Get one
- By Don from Westport MA USA on Wednesday, November 1, 2017
- Pros: No better way to cool a coco
- Cons: None
- Review: If you have the vent window, then you must have this! There is no better way to cool a cockpit during taxi. I had one in my Cherokee 140 years ago. When I bought my 180, the first thing I bought was this! Get one!

Awesome device!
- By Donald from Advance NC USA on Tuesday, April 19, 2016
- Pros: Cheap AC!
- Cons: None
- Review: High quality. Easy to install and works great. Nice flow of fresh air from the prop while on the ground. If you forget to take the scoop out for flying, you will get a strong gust as a reminder upon takeoff.

Kool Scoop
- By Randy, Mooney Driver from Eclectic AL USA on Tuesday, January 13, 2026
- Pros: No drilling of window
- Cons: Tape mounting
- Review: I’ve not had a chance to install it in my Mooney. I’m a little concerned of its longevity since it uses a two sided tape instead of nuts/bolts through the window. That is a plus, but still a concern.

Works great
- By Alan @ KVCB from Vacaville CA USA on Tuesday, October 6, 2020
- Pros: Works
- Cons: Vibrates with wind, engine, etc.
- Review: It does what it was designed to do. Be careful you don't try to force your window lock over the Kool Scoop unless they are the same thickness. One of our pilots did so and put small cracks in the Kool Scoop as well as the side window at the lock pivot point.

Kool Scoop

Very pleased with scoops thus far
- By Tom Hutchisson from Waxhaw NC USA on Saturday, October 15, 2016
- Pros: fair costs, does what is says
- Cons: may take up a slight amount of window / and or elbow room but its NOT an issue
- Review: So far so good, with 2 of these installed in my Debonair and both storm windows open I get a VERY positive airflow into the cabin with the engine at idle. With the engine off it does help to cross ventilate as much as mother nature allows. For the money its a pretty quick and easy way of adding some air to the cabin. Have to say its a lot nicer than taxing around with you and your passengers arm hanging out the window!

A cool addition to the PA-28-235
- By William Brendel from Texas on Wednesday, October 7, 2020
- Pros: You have to have it in this part of Texas
- Cons: Pricey - but you'll probably only need one for decades
- Review: Anything to bring some air into a Piper cockpit is appreciated, particularly here on south Texas ramps. It may be the only option on the market and a bit expensive but worth it. Installation instructions could be better in terms of placement. Most pics you see, even on pilot supply websites, don't show the best placement. Improperly - placed the vent will blow shut. Important: if you use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to prep your window - don't get it on the scoop unit - it will permanently dull/fog the unit. Lesson learned! Instructions warn you about other agents but we'll extend it to 70% rubbing alcohol too. Use only a mild? soap and water.

Won't stay in place
- By William from Annapolis MD USA on Tuesday, August 8, 2017

- Cons: Velcro will not hold it in place with the engine running
- Review: The scoop will not stay in place with Velcro when the engine is running
