Does the cooling gel stop working over time?

I've had mine for only 6 months but the cooling gel is amazing and actually DOES work.

I had the pillow for a month. It only cools for the first 15 mins you lay on it each time. But it's a very comfortable pillow.

Yes, it has an inner envelope that you soak in water to activitate the cooling gel. The outer envelope, has a flap that velcros shut, good product,

Not sure what your question is. Just FYI we and our approximate 3 months and one of the cooling units went out . I went back and forth with the factory about having-it repaired. I could not find a repair person to fix it. Thank God for Amazon. The gave me a refund after restocking fees, picked it up and packaged it for me. One of the sticking points with with the factory was I did not keep the original package it came in so I was on my own to get it packaged for shipment. I bought one for a few dollars more with a compressor,

After two years of *almost* continuous use, the fan started making noises, but it still works and keeps the drive cool.

Yes, once, and as I mentioned in a review, it happens when the product gets hot for an extended period. Store at room temperature, and if you get a bad batch, contact the company for a free replacement.

Mine was for at least a year into the future. Other than that I have no idea--ask the Seller, I'm just another customer here like you!

I have only been using the product since 22 October (once a day for two weeks, then only twice per week). I have also stopped taking bubble baths which apparently have a drying effect. I suppose the potency will last as long as I keep using it twice weekly or if I go back into a permanent relationship thenI would cease using it. Its just nice that it works and to have a break from menopausal symptoms - I was tired after two years of hot flushes and not sleeping well.

I did not time it but it seems to last about 4-5 hours. When the water level is low, it would beep to warn you and automatically shut down the cooling feature.

I do not know but have never needed any extra help keeping my computer (Mac Air) cool which I use almost all day for work and writing (no gameplay). When this gets 'soft' from heating after 4-5 hours, I just pop in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. It solidifies again and I start over.

All coolant breaks down over time. I was able to get 3 years out of my first sealed system. I feel for the price it's worth it. Monitoring the system is fairly simple, just install CPU Temperature app on your windows/mac/Linux OS. I recommend doing an idle & stress test as benchmark for how high/low of an allowable temperature range you'll be getting. After you have those numbers simply do a test once a month or when ever you feel like it. 85C is my limit when I decide to change out my cooling unit. Hope this helps.

Same here. Mine started doing the same thing. It would start working again and then stop again. I finally got rid of it after 3 years of operation.

I purchased this item about two years ago and use it at least weekly. I have had no issues. Sounds like you may have a defective item.

It doesn't "wear out." You put a little bit on the top of the CPU and when you install the fan, it spreads it around the top. One application should cover it all. Amount: about a small pea. If the unit keeps overheating, take off the cooler and apply a little more.

I've used this product for years, about 4 per year and have only had issues with the pump once. My solution is to buy another and save the pumps which work so you'll always have a backup.

I've had mine about 2 1/2 years. The fan still turns on, but the little metal plate no longer vibrates, so of course no mist is produced. :( Yes, it will also produce little or no mist if it has too much or too little water in the lower portion, but sometimes it just goes kaput regardless of any trouble shooting. For $90 I would have liked it to last longer. It was great while it lasted.

Sounds silly be but when the cool button is on it stays cool (unlike some that go back to hot when you stop pressing, it's almost more like an on and off button)try pressing up and let it run for 10-15 secs. If that's not the problem try contacting the company they are really good at sending new ones are sending free replacement pieces. Good luck!!
