Good but be cautious, do your research on "how to" first.
OK, just like many of you I was really hesitant to buying this and wondering if it was going to work or not. But hey, if you are like me you want to start with the least expensive solution before having to spend lots of money on something in case it's really not that bad. My AC PRO arrived 2 days after I had placed my order, it was nicely packaged and I couldn't wait to get the refrigerant refill in my vehicle as we were going through some really bad heat ways in California those days and my AC wasn't working on my 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T. I read the instructions, watched plenty of "HOW TO" videos on you tube and even what to do encase I overfilled it and like many videos on you tube some were good some were just terrible. To stay on point, I decided to follow the same directions of one of my favorite videos I had watched where the person was indicating to do little squeezes at a time like 15 to 20 seconds at a time as you are gently moving the bottle around. When I plugged the adapter thing to the indicated are of my car and read the indicator display it was at zero. So I did the first shoot for 15 seconds and the needle barely moved on the display, so then I took another shot at it for another 15 seconds but not enough yet ether, or at least not to where it needs to be. I went for another shot of 15 seconds and the needle had moved a bit more but not where it was necessary just yet, I went to check inside the car to see if there was any cold air coming out and I started to feel some cool air coming from the vents. I sat there for about a few minutes to see if the air got any colder as it was cool but not cold. I went back to the front and plugged everything back again and holy Jesus to my surprise the needle now shot passed the recommended area. I got scared and almost panicked, but I remember watching some videos where they had over added refrigerant and the vehicles started making some weird noises, luckily that wasn't the case for me but never the less I freaked out. I unplugged everything and decided to take it for a drive as I had seen some comments where people were saying to drive the vehicle for a few miles after refill so it can make it's way through. After a while the air did start to come out a little bit colder then it was where I knew my passengers and my self would be ok. The next day I checked the needle gauge again and it was still a little bit passed the overflow section but not too bad and at least my vehicle wasn't making any funny noises. I got this back in early Jun and as of now (August) still works good. The air is cold enough when it's set to the highest setting, enough to where it will set a nice comfortable temperature inside compared to the outside on those hot days, but I don't feel it as cold as it could get when you first purchase a vehicle. On low setting the temperature still comes out cold but works best at it's highest setting. Never the less it's way better than not working at all. I do recommend this product, but my piece of advice is to do little bit's at a time and give it some time in between shots/squeezes and not one fight after the other like I did as the gauge takes a while for it to give you a good reading and maybe do shots of 10 seconds rather than 15 seconds so you don't freak out encase you over shoot it like I did, but not enough to worry. Also DO NOT REMOVE THE HOSE from the can after you are done and want to store the little bit you got left, LEAVE THE HOSE attached to the can. I thought since I have some left over I will remove the hose and put the cap back on, NOPE!! bad idea it all starts to escape and the only way to stop it is to connect the hose back to the can. The little bit that's left, maybe a quarter of a can or slightly less I have stored in a cool area in my garage for a small shot if it's needed in the future, but so far so good. I know this review is long but I wanted to share my mistakes so you don't make them and save you the trouble. So overall I do recommend this product, it does work as described and it saves money, just be cautious of it as there is some stuff that are not mentioned clearly when purchasing this product and there for I wanted to share them with you, hope this helps and good luck.
