Product review (1 stars): It worked wonderfully for the entire Fall and Winter
I received this product in the Fall of 2012.  It worked wonderfully for the entire Fall and Winter.  However, when the weather turned warm this cooler simply could not maintain the set temperature.  I e-mailed the service people, thinking that this was a quality issue.  The EdgeStar service person asked me to pull it out from under the counter and see if it could maintain the set point in the "free state".  I did that and it was no surprise that the set point was reached.  The implication from EdgeStar was that the unit was working properly.  Of course I insisted that it does not perform as advertised and I followed the clearances around the perimeter of the unit and behind the unit per the installation manual.  About 1 week later I noticed that the unit was actually automatically reverting to a higher set point (46 I think).  I thought that the controller was faulty and contacted EdgeStar again.  They sent a replacement Controller/Printed Circuit Board and installed it for free.  Great, except that this still did not solve the problem.

In the end I can only conclude that the product only works when the ambient air temperature is low (68 for me in the winter) and/or when it is NOT under the counter.  I keep my home at 74 all summer.  I don't think that this is an unreasonable temperature to assume that the product will maintain the advertised 38 temperature.  This morning it is reading 52.  I have had to take all of my perishable items out of this cooler and place them in my fridge.  How can you review a product like this higher than 1 star if it does not provide its one and only function?  Angry does not begin to describe how I feel about this product and company.
