This is a unique product in it's price range. We wanted a deck fridge ready for outdoor use and this appeared to be just that. As always, Amazon service was fantastic but after 3 months of service, the device began to run noisily and quit working altogether shortly after that. We were startled to examine the warranty service offered by Soleus Air and learned that in order to have warranty coverage we'd need to ship this device back to California which cost us $147. This is half the cost of the device and was a big disappointment. I suspect the value in this device will be fully realized if the company returns a unit that lasts more than a few months. If this unit fails again, it will be out of warranty (for what that is worth given the return shipping costs) and we'll likely have a fancy stainless steel ice bucket instead of a powered cooler. The physical appearance and functional design is attractive and the unit was the talk of our summer gatherings just beware of quality and the finer points of the warranty and hope your's lasts longer than ours did.

The replacement unit we received under warranty has now also failed. This replacement unit ran for a total of 8 months (2 summers). I'd avoid this product we now have the fancy ice-bucket I feared this would turn into.

I purchased one a little over a year ago and it no longer works and warranty is up after 1 year. Biggest waste of money as I only used it twice.

Ordered one and it didn't work. Returned it and received a replacement, and it arrived in damaged condition. It was certainly not worth the money and effort.

We are very happy from this refrigerators. They work good. Shipping was ok, but one of the refrigerator came with broken wheel but we fixed and everything is working good. Thank You.
