Product review (5 stars): Maybe I Got Lucky...
Almost bought this at Sam's, but used my cell phone to check reviews and decided against it.  I saw it later online from Wal****.com as a refurb at a price point i couldn't refuse, so i dove in.  After initial setup(setup is a 2 day process when done correctly), the unit achieved a temp of 42F degrees.  I bought a 80mm PC tower fan and modded it and placed it on the top shelf near the cooling plate facing down and now it consistently achieves temps around freezing(YMMV). I've read lots of reviews and realize I may have gotten lucky with my unit, but with an ambient room temperature of of 70 degrees the unit was registering 29 degrees maxed out(31 degrees at 80); I've actually had to dial it down a bit.  Given the history of these units, I would definitely recommend a replacement plan if reasonably priced.

  Hope this review helps someone with their decision. I'll try to post pics...

thx,
