Customer Review: Good Cooling, Bad Fan
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product in March (approximately 6 months ago). While it worked extremely well when left on a flat, hard surface, I have had a few issues with the fan. Ultimately, the fan stopped working altogether in the past few days (Edited: Updated to include manufacturer's response).
First, potential users should note that the fan does not work well if set on a soft surface (couch or upholstered chair), or held underneath the computer (such as when used on your lap).
Second, it only took about a month before one of the fans started making noise when first turned on. The noise is loud and obnoxious, as if something broke off inside and rattles around. Eventually, after running at full speed for some time, the noise does go away, but the fan never ran as quietly after the first time I heard the loud noise.
Third, the other fan started making noise as well. It was at least a month later, and did not happen in the last two months, but it started making the obnoxious noise as well.
In review, this cooling fan works extremely well for sedentary laptops. However, I didnt buy a laptop to leave it on a counter, table, or desk. This more active usage seems to be beyond the design of the fan.
Edit: Manufacturer's response- After contacting the manufacturer, they responded extremely quickly and offered to replace the product. I was responsible for the shipping costs to them, however.
