Product review (1 stars): Nice design but bad components and expensive to repair
Hey this thing would be great if it had reliable parts. But no... after less than 2 years one of ours leaked its refrigerant, and the evaporator coils were rusted in several places. According to an A/C repair guy part of the problem was the lousy (leaky) copper from China.

The other issue is - it is seriously hard to find someone to service it, and then it's really expensive to repair. Franklin Chef wouldn't help us find a local qualified repair company, so we had to call everyone in the Yellow Pages. And nobody wants to deal with "beverage coolers". Once we found someone, it cost us over $400 just to fix that one leak and replace the evaporator coil on one side - and two months later it dies again.

And finally - on Sept 11 2009 the maker, Franklin Industries, filed Chapter 11. Makes a lot of sense. (See their website for details)
