Is ep-cooler.ch a scam?

Our automated security review marked ep-cooler.ch as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is ep-cooler.ch safe to use?

ep-cooler.ch currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does ep-cooler.ch have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. ep-cooler.ch presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 65 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has ep-cooler.ch been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report ep-cooler.ch as clean.

Is ep-cooler.ch on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. ep-cooler.ch is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is ep-cooler.ch hosted?

ep-cooler.ch resolves to an IP operated by Brander Group Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the ep-cooler.ch report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 22, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around ep-cooler.ch have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The storefront uses aggressive marketing tactics, such as 60% discounts and claims of 'explosive popularity,' to sell an evaporative cooler as a high-performance air conditioner. Our research found over 50 formal complaints and a significant volume of negative reviews on independent platforms. Users frequently report that the device fails to cool rooms as advertised and that the operator, a Lithuanian company, makes returns nearly impossible. The site lacks a clear legal imprint or local Swiss business registration, which is a major red flag for a .ch domain. Furthermore, the contact email does not match the website's domain, a common trait of temporary marketing fronts.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The website is a single-product landing page designed to drive immediate sales through high-pressure tactics. It uses stock imagery and generic testimonials to promote the 'EpiCooler' as a miracle solution for summer heat.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a common website-building platform and uses a valid SSL certificate. However, it lacks essential legal disclosures required for Swiss e-commerce, such as a physical address or a verifiable company registration number in the footer.

Domain History

The domain is relatively new and lacks a global traffic ranking, suggesting it is part of a rotating network of geo-targeted sites. It is linked to a Lithuanian entity, UAB Commerce Core, which operates dozens of similar domains across different countries.

Web Reputation

Independent review aggregators show a pattern of extreme consumer dissatisfaction. While some positive reviews exist on the site itself, external platforms are filled with warnings about non-delivery, 'fake shop' behavior, and the product being a low-quality plastic fan.

Risk Factors

Over 50 consumer complaints found across independent review platforms.
Marketing claims are scientifically misleading, promising AC performance from a simple fan.
No local Swiss business registration or physical address provided on the page.
Contact email 'hello@epicooler.co' does not match the site's .ch domain.
Numerous reports of users being unable to obtain refunds or contact support.
Part of a known network of sites (epi-cooler.com.au, epicooler-fr.fr) using identical templates.

Positive Signals

The site uses a valid SSL certificate for encrypted connections.
Our antivirus network currently shows no active malware or phishing detections.

AI Recommendation

Do not purchase from this site. The product is widely reported to be a low-quality fan rather than an air conditioner, and getting your money back is extremely difficult.

Business registration

Status: active · Lithuania

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

Our research into ep-cooler.ch and its parent brand revealed significant consumer risk. On an independent review aggregator, the brand has thousands of reviews with a high concentration of 1-star ratings accusing the site of being a 'fake shop' and a 'complete scam.' Reddit users have flagged the marketing as deceptive because the device is an evaporative cooler that cannot physically lower room temperatures as claimed. Although a Lithuanian business registration exists for UAB Commerce Core, the sheer volume of complaints regarding refund denials and product quality makes this a high-risk transaction.
