Summary: Just ok.
Comment: I thought this for sure was going to be the cooling fan for me, after trying several no-name, in-store brands and not having much luck. I read the reviews for the Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand and thought it would be the best option. The first few days of usage were fine and I was really happy that my laptop wasn't overheating and the only thing that I was less than happy with, was the foldout stand that kept closing. Its a little hard to pry open and my fingers have slipped and got cut in the open fan blade more than once. I was willing to work around the sticky stand but then things took a turn for the worst.
My fan seems to only want to work when it feels like it. The jack in the back of the fan, doesn't like to stay plugged in, though the jack itself seems to look fine with no damage. More often than not, I have to spend a few minutes fiddling with the cord to get the fan to stay on, and when I pick my laptop up, or move it slightly, it usually shuts off again and I have to repeat the process.
It's lasted longer than my past cooling fans but I still don't think it's the best. I wish now I'd invested a little more money for one that perhaps, would work better.

Summary: Noisy and poorly designed
Comment: I bought this to replace an Antec cooler I've had for a couple of years. I quickly discovered that this single fan cooler is actually much noisier than my older 2-fan Antec.
It also has an odd concave shape that makes your laptop wiggle if it is not sized just right. Or you'll have to push your laptop up to center it and have the cooler base stick out of the bottom. Which makes it uncomfortable if you're used to placing your hands on the palmrest.

Summary: GREAT CONCEPT POOR QUALITY
Comment: Belkin clearly provided the specs for this unit to an Asian manufacturer which produced the cheapest quality product possible...I would venture to say that this item is worth no more than maybe $10 with the packaging reflecting at least $1.50 of that cost. Make no mistake, it is probably the best available currently but it will soon be replaced by better quality from another manufacturer. I purchased two thus far and had to return one because of a very noisy fan...Better you should wait for a superior product if you can.

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.

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.
