The cooler looked great and exactly the size I was looking for and functioned the way it was expected, up until lately the unit stopped working after 18 mos of use.  I did a visual inspection at the back and I could hear the relay kicking in but the compressor does not run.  I called Avanti and accdg to them, the compressor has 5-yrs warranty but the service call to have a technician come out to your home to diagnose the problem, which is typically about $80 to $100 in our area, is your cost.  If the compressor is bad, which I do not see any other thing that can go bad in this very simple equipment, Avanti will send the replacement compressor to the service facility to have it installed to replace the old compressor and this is again, cost to you for that service.  A new cooler costs about ~$190 and you do the math.  Repair is not worth the effort.  I just feel that products like this should not fail that prematurely and should not be even offered to the public!  I do not recommend this cooler at all to anyone!
