Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Very shoddy and noisy Comment: Much like the review by Phyllis Staff (Dallas, Texas USA), the cooler lasted only a few months before the port for the connector disappeared and left it useless. Not that it was much use before then anyway.
I think it worked well for about a month and a half and then the fan was just so incredibly loud - I was somewhat relieved when the thing finally died all together a month later.
Just a real piece of crap.
Plus the fan is just located in the middle, and the hot spots on my laptop are on the edges.
I now have the Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler and it is so much nicer. The air covers the entire area under the laptop and it is quiet as a mouse. Customer Rating: Summary: Been using two a few weeks now and one is very noisy Comment: This notebook cooler seems a little on the flimsy/cheap end. I've been using two of them for a few weeks. One of them has already started being very noisy. Not pleasant! The other one is in a more noisy environment but it is quieter (but definitely no where near silent - it's still noisier than I'd like). I am concerned about how long these units will last. I also think there should be at least two fan speed settings, like low and high. Customer Rating: Summary: Solid Comment: Solid design. Nice sleek white, much different from the run of the mill silver looking stands. Sits comfortably in the lap, and has a good height on a table or desk. I keep the kick stand out, keeps the keep board at nice angle for typing. Perfect size for my laptop (MACBOOK PRO), which can get really hot and the fans can get really loud, still trying to figure out why that is. Either way the fan is pretty quiet, much more quiet than my laptop's. Have not experienced that reported smell in the video review about the rubber stops on the top so that's good.
Thus far, it has been very effective at maintaining a low fan speed, especially when I'm running multiple apps, however I have noticed that the temp of my CPU remains rather high, but others like the battery, enclosure bottom and heatsinks remain relatively low. All in all, a solid product; I would recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: Good looking design but big flaws Comment: Smart curved design with anti slip pads is great.
Then
- Fan is quite noisy
- Could use a Hi-low switch
- USB plug increase wear on computer power supply (couldn't find the wattage for that fan...)
- The back Support(riser) that flips open is very flimsy! and uncomfortable when in my lap.
- Added openings in the curved bottom of the cooler would have alleviated constant use of the fan and save its apparently unreliable motor (see other people's review) by improving static cooling.
Customer Rating: Summary: Belkin Cooling Stand Comment: This is my second Belkin Stand from Amazon. the first one I received lasted 2 hours only. I emailed Amazon.com and they were very nice and said to return it and they would replace it free within 30 days. Amazon actually had the new one here before I sent off the broken one. The replacement is working just fine and i've had it now for about 3 weeks. They had emailed me a prepaid postage return label to send the first one back. it was a smooth transaction. This is my first cooling stand of any kind so i have nothing to compare it to but I love this one..It does a great job of keeping things cool.
