About Chiller: Hailea 300A 1/4hp

[3inone]

i just bought the above chiller, 2nd hand, 1.5years old. just wondering if it is worthwhile. please give opinions.

the normal:
1.5 years old.
silent. i had to put my ear on it to see if theres sound coming out.
the display works fine.
not dusty. the back side metal part no rust, clean.

the only downside:
sticker not stuck perfectly.
and got "scratch marks" on the side. about 3 of them, but very superficial. maybe lost 1mm of plastic only.
no external thermostat.

price: $180.

is this worth it?

is it worth it? intended for usage on 3-4ft tank.

the simple way to check is look at the ventilation net, if is very dirty(looking at the picture it is not well maintain) with lots of dirts, it shows that the owner never maintain the chiller as this is the air that goes into the chiller compartment, it would affect the lifespan of the chiller. just my 0.02cts opinion.

Since you already bought, is it a bit too late to ask "is it worth question" question?

Honestly it is difficult to tell, any moving parts are subjected to wear an tear even the electronic. I guess only time will tell.
