  Overall Rating: 2 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:1 Months

  Strengths: did the job for as long as the power cord lasted

  Weaknesses: construction for the power cord is atrocious

  Overall Evaluation: The cooler itself was great - fairly quiet, and fully functional. The power cord setup on the other hand is one of the worst I've seen. We had the cooler only a couple of weeks when it started to just quit, and we figured out that it was the power cord. What we couldn't tell was whether it was the cord itself or the outlet in the cooler. We ordered a replacement, and sure enough the outlet itself wasn't properly constructed, so we had to literally hold the plug in a certain spot to get the thing to work. NOT WORTH IT for the price of the product. I'm now looking for another cooler, and I don't want to bother sending this back.

  Duration of ownership:21 Months

  Strengths: For two years this worked well but the cons won

  Weaknesses: The plug connection has a short and won't work anymore.

  Overall Evaluation: Power is supplied by attaching a passthru USB connector to the laptop and the other end is a straight plug that blucks into a socket on a recessed shelf underneath. The problem is that this lies on your lap and your leg will put pressure on that plug. After 21 months the socket stopped working :-( Until now I really liked it!

  Duration of ownership:6 Months

  Strengths: It cools well for approx. the first month

  Weaknesses: The usb cable connecting to the fan has broken TWICE

  Overall Evaluation: This is my second antec fan, don't ask my why I bought this same bad product again, I figured I'd give it a second chance, seeing as to it does a decent job for the first month. The wire that connects the fan to the computer starts becoming sensitive so you have to jiggle it around a little, then you get to the stage where your taping it, then it just stops working. No foul play was done to the fan at all, since the laptop basically sits on a desk the whole day without moving. Just my experience with it.. twice.Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. HA!

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: Sturdy; cools well

  Weaknesses: Power connector breaks very quickly!

  Overall Evaluation: I owned two of these, both of which I "lost" due to the power connector on the device itself becoming unstable, and finally ceasing to work altogether - within the first 3 months!! The unit itself is very well made, yet such a cheap component was used for the power connector. It's really regrettable.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Quiet, cools well on low power. Fits under HP laptop well.

  Weaknesses: The cord that is attached to the USB connector on the side gets in the way of plug-in next to it. Should be redesigned to connect better in the back.

  Overall Evaluation: Used as directed, it works like it should. My laptop runs hot and I noticed an unscientifically observed 90% reduction in heat after using the laptop for 2-3 hours. So far an excellent product.

  Duration of ownership:30 Days

  Strengths: level surface,cools rapidly

  Weaknesses: bad usb connections

  Overall Evaluation: the first unit purchased shorted out at the USB connectionafter 20 days. Purchased at BJ's promtly exchanched no questions asked. Second unit lasted 5 days again the connection wire failed. connected transformer to unit and it ran very well. returned for refund no questions asked, while at return counter noticed two other units also returned. cooler is only powered from ac running through USB jack and obviously would still be in use if a transformer were used instead of poorly made cheap USB wiring.
