Why is this item advertised that it cools to 40degrees below ambient, when the product instructions only claims 32degrees?

Because if you put one of those frozen blue dodads in the bottom it probably could get colder.

I cannot remember but I was not impressed with its performance and had to return it. It may have been a bad unit but even when the room it was in was at 40 - 50 degrees F, the unit were run a few minutes (blew hot air fine) and then shut off because its thermostat thought the room was warm. Somehow the sensor was too close to the heated airstream.

No, the instructions says it'll keep things about 40ºF below the surrounding temperature. I doubt your area would be below about 38ºC.

No, I have a thermostat hooked in-line, so it doesn't run below 60 deg. I don't want to be cooling the space in the winter, I want the opposite, so the house stays warmer. This is an awesome unit and works really well.

It blows the air toward the laptop. I'm not sure how it works beacause the ambient air isn't all that cool/cold, but it does seem to work fairly well for me. My LT hasn't heated up since I started using it, but it was having a slight problem before.

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

The lowest you can set it is 45 degrees. I normally set mine so that it doesn't get colder than 58 degrees but I set it down as low as I could upon getting your question and it would not go any lower than 45, it stopped going down.

I don't know but I use it to cool down the White Wine, and it won't go below 56F when it's full, but when it empty it goes down to 46 which it the minimum it programmed to go. I used it on daul 12 bottles wine cooler. I replaced one side.So thanks!

I don't know. I didn't use it. I just vented it into the suspended ceiling of my office where we use it to keep our computer servers cool

I don't know but mine was delivered by UPS. A little unsolicited information. I bought this unit while looking for a unit with no frills. The only drawback to this unit for me is there is no auto shutoff or thermostat. It definitely cools but will run until you stop it.

This unit should not be run if temperatures are below 40 F. Optimally the temperature should be 45 F. There is no upper temperature that I have encountered that causes the unit to malfuntion.

40's, but I do not like the cooler. The motor/fan run all the time and never shut off. I called the mfg and they said that is just how it is and I would have to get used to it. Customer dissatisfaction was not a reason for them to let me return the darn thing. I choose to unplug it, put it on Craig's list and take the loss. The next one I buy will be from a store where I can see and hear it run before spending any money. Hope this helps, did not mean to rant on, but folks need to know about this company.

I have my CoolBot set up in a 4x6 walk-in cooler with the smallest air conditioner available. It has no trouble keeping the temp below 38*. I am very impressed and pleased with the CoolBot.

I dont know, it didnt get above 32 here. However I dont see how it would, it seems to be a constant heat source. Mine just couldnt handle the cold apparently, it froze through the first night.

I don't know exactly since I have the unit in storage right now, but probably over 36". Check the units online manual for exact specs. You should really think twice before purchasing this unit. I had one and it really couldn't cool the room to below 78 - 80 degrees. So the room was really not bearable in the summer months. And it is noisy. So I returned the unit and purchased a small in window ac unit and it gets the room very cool in 5 minutes. Huge difference. Really wanted the portable to work, but unfortunately once you move more than 6 or 7 feet from the unit, you really don't feel the impact of the unit.

I just checked the thermostat and it only goes down to 45 degrees. If you are trying to use this for freeze protection, you might look into a space heater with a built-in digital thermostat.

No idea. However, similar electronic devices I specify are rated to zero degrees C. It's inexpensive, simple, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it at low temps.
