Good for 3 years
The cooler worked well for 3 years; however after 2 repair attempts it will become a storage rack. Parts are difficult to find since this is a China product. I will replace with a smaller better quality cooler. Even though the price is great, I recommend investing in a better quality unit.
So-So
We liked the features, we liked the price. It is less than 3 years old and now needs considerable repair and it seems like it will be the compressor. Total repair estimated at about half the original purchase price. The constant cycling, about every 20-30 sec from the get-go apparently is "planned" according to a repair person we had come out within 60 days and it was a silent on-off cycle at all. We will see whether the repairs work, or we, too will have a very large piece of junk.
Disappointed!
Thought I was getting a good deal when purchased. Unit worked fine for 2 years and stopped cooling. Found out not many folks work on these coolers but Avanti had one serviceman in my area to recommend. Paid about half of the original cost of the unit to get it "repaired." A year later, stopped cooling again. Service company came back, refilled with freon. 10 months later stopped cooling again. Now being told compressor needs replacing. If have done, will have more invested in repairs than the cost of unit. Avanti customer service has a lot of reasons they can't do anything but not many to stand behind product. I appreciate their free parts but the hourly service rate (plus freon, etc) is a killer. Since I am not real confident replacing the compressor will solve the problem, think I'll cut my losses and start looking for a better quality cooler.
