Default Carcoon feedback

Hi to all, I have been looking at a cardoon and was wondering if any one has one or seen one in use? If yes Are they noises? And are they any good? Easy to use?

I'm not sure if it was that brand, but when I was in Australia I visited someone in Berwick who had something like that.

I don't know how often the pump runs on it, but I never heard any noise from his. I could see that it was worthwhile because its top was covered in caked-on dirt.

I was with a customer on Monday who had 2, both containing RSpecs. They looked like a little work to put up and keep rigid. No noticeable noise but its contents looked a little sad. Drive the car. Wont be worth anything for a very long time.

From the guy I know who has something similar:
Quote:
Carcoon is similar to mine though they have a range of wacky options which can resemble kid's bouncing castles. Mine was the CarCapsule which is the original of its kind; a basic inflatable cover available in indoor (clear) and outdoor versions.

I found the fan noise annoying personally, though admittedly I am particularly sensitive to such things. I'm willing to settle for a more labour-intensive method in future, though for some purposes these inflatable covers are a great solution that require little ongoing maintenance and protects the car from annoying dust.
By the way, he's selling his on eBay as he no longer needs it.
