Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of USB Powered and Most Efficient Metal Cooler Pad with 3 Built-in Fans for Laptop Computer
Customer Review: Terrible Useless unit
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the worst piece of engineering I have seen in my 80+ yrs..It literally falls apart, while running, you can get your finger caught in the fan blade as it is turning...all kinds of Mechanical errors in this unit...I would rate it with a "Z" if that were a mode of rating...Customer Review: Works great, but
Summary: 3 Stars
Works great. Keeps laptop nice and cool. Open back feature caused large scratches on my new cherry coffee table. Need to have something under this if going to use it on a surface you do not want to get scratched.Customer Review: Cools my laptop, but could use some improvements
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this cooling pad for more than a year. When it's working, it definitely cools my laptop. It's not terribly loud, but I do notice the fan sound. My primary complaint are related to the exposed back of the unit. As others have commented, you can't really put the pad directly on your lap with the laptop -- it's just not comfortable. More importantly, if you need to transport your laptop and cooler often, this may not be the product for you. The wiring on the back of the unit is easy to disrupt; it became disconnected early after I bought it and I have had to play amateur electronics repair person several times in order to fix the wiring. Also, it does have some somewhat rough edges; once I just threw my laptop in my backpack with the cooling pad instead of putting my laptop in it's case first; the result was several unsightly scratches on my laptop.Customer Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
Will not work with a MacBook Pro. Looks good, but when i first tried it it brings an error message that it is using too much power and the computer shuts off that port. Tweaky.. Disappointing as I need to cool my computer....
Keep looking...
Customer Review: Danger! Hazard to your computer
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware of this product! It really deserves negative stars. The unit I received was wired incorrectly. When turned on it formed a short circuit across the USB power. If your computer does not detect this condition and protect itself this could damage your computer's USB port.
I think I am lucky. My laptop detected the excess power drain and protected itself. Amazon is handling the refund and return shipping. My main loss seems to be the time and hassle.
The Amazon listing shows this as a product by DekCell and sold by "Super Deal". The box showed the product number DX-704. The package was shipped from DreamBargains.net, Inc. in Arizona. I include this information because sometimes Amazon reuses reviews when the product or supplier changes.
If you have one of these, check the switch wiring. If only two terminals of the switch have wires connected then your unit has this problem. On mine, all the red wires from the fans were connected with one of the USB wires on one switch terminal and all the black wires from the fans were connected with the other USB wire on the other switch terminal. The fans run when the switch is in the off position. The USB supplied power is short-circuited when the unit is in the on position.
