I purchased this cooler as an upgrade to a top loader cooler I had rented. I saw this cooler at a fruends house and she talked about it like an advertisement, so I had to get it. My family loves all of the features, including the self clean option. It is a little noisy sometimes, which was shocking because my friends is about 3 years old and very quiet. But I put a cup on the top and it quieted the rattling sound.
