I don't usually take time to comment; however, I relied on your opinions when choosing this unit, so I must reciprocate.
I have an office that houses 6 Internet servers. When we lose power briefly, the previous Haier unit would not cycle back on, so the room was left to cook.
This unit, the Kenmore, is quiet and is an amazing power sipper. In Economy Mode, it cools and turns off. I keep the door closed, not worrying about whether the heat will build up if the power fails for a moment and the unit should turn off. Not with this unit. Unplug it and it remembers where it was when power was lost.
I am most fortunate to have it.
Downside: I opened the filter door and cracked the hinge. Be careful: It does not open all the way forward. No big deal. It isn't worth uninstalling it and returning it, for me. It's that good.
Lastly, my Honda, EU2000i generator runs the entire collection of servers, PLUS the air conditioner when power is lost. I'm at 1500 watts with 5 servers and Air conditioner. Close the door and I'm in Heaven!
Well, there you go. If anything rattles like the one complaint had it, you've either installed it incorrectly, or you need to return the unit. Mine is wonderful.
God bless our wonderful USA, and the comforts I wish for my brothers and sisters in the rest of the world.
