Due to the thermoelektitrischen principle it's a very reasonable alternative, besides it has a unique design and good handling / use.
The cooling performance is good and the lower the Zieltemparatur is set, the more often must, of course, the fan / circulator work. Which brings us would at the very big disadvantage of this device - the 30dB specified make very clearly audible. At the same time he is being touted as electric furniture home decor and advertising artist can be here on a too "hot pun" in my opinion. Because these sounds are unique to a living room too loud (like a PC from the 90s) and they make a relax in the same room impossible - turn during operation of the home theater system will naturally drowned out that noise. We currently lead but an extensive discussion in the Family Council, if this device will be completely doomed from the budget or in another room - but one thing is certain, in the living room, it will be much longer.
I've wrestled with me this unit to give 3 stars. This equipment is, however, touted as home furniture, it got the job done well but more misses than first thought.
Best wishes and recommendations to the manufacturer and its advertising artist :)
