UPDATE:
Once this little cooler warmed up, that is, once it had gone through a few cooling cycles, it achieved cold water, and has done so repeatedly in a reasonable amount of time. There must be a break-in period. The cool water light now responds correctly. I suppose I was hasty in labeling it defective in the first 48 hrs.
I’m still stuck just under five stars based on the small amount of water cooled (approx 2 glasses per cycle) and its need to re-cool fairly often, but that’s why it’s a compact, and that’s why it costs so little. It’s unfair to place those kinds of expectations on a product which clearly sells for less than half of a full-sized model and takes up less than half the space.
If I have need of another compact, I will not hesitate to purchase again.
OLD REVIEW:
PROS: Cheap, lightweight, small, convenient for a small number of people to drink water.
CONS: COLD light doesn’t light up, cold water is not super cold, unit came smelling of plastic (I followed other reviewers’ advice about rinsing it out), and the cold water reservoir is not much more than a glass or two.
If you have small needs this is fine – and it suits me well since I live alone – but if your intent is much more than that, you may want a traditional, full-sized cooler.
For me that would have been overkill – and it didn’t hurt that the price on this as of June 2010 is , as opposed to spending 0 for most full size coolers.
I was stuck at 3.5 stars and rounded down because of the indicator light’s being defective. It’s not a big deal, but it says something about quality control. Makes me wonder if perhaps this unit won’t last long or if there’s some other flaw I haven’t noticed.
