I purchased this about 6 months ago and it's been fine. It looks great and has a very nice led light. I like the controls on the front and the fact that you can clearly see the temperature. You can hear it humming all the time, and that's from 10 feet away. It does struggle to keep the temperature stable when the ambient temperature in the room changes. But most of the temperature changes are slow and only by 3°F or so. Overall I'm happy with the cooler.
