Product review (5 stars): Seems sturdy.  Fan continuously cycling on/off.
Seems like a sturdy unit.  I've had it for a week, and noticed the fan runs for 10 seconds, then stops for 10.  Continuously.  Not the compressor, just the fan.  A little worried at this point about power consumption and longevity.  I contacted the manufacturer by website form but have not heard back yet (it's only been a few hours).  I'll post how things go.  Otherwise, very happy so far. UPDATE:  The manufacturer's rep checked with the technical team, and stated that the cooler is behaving normally.  I respectfully disagreed, since no electrical component would be designed to cycle so frequently and be so energy inefficient.  I confirmed my one year warranty covers this issue.  Not too happy with the response, so downgrading to one star. UPDATE April 2:  I have tried to escalate the issue with Compact Appliance, but cannot get a reply.  If no response, how would we be expected to execute a warranty issue?  Please be cautious when purchasing. UPDATE 2017:  Still running strong. The cycling is normal and the cooler works awesome.  Gotta give it 5 stars now.
