Wow! 

        You found that fast.  I’m glad as it is really nice having all things in the van working well. 

        And, I hope you need to turn it down often!

And, frankly, I’m not sure how often the average person uses it in a year but I can tell you that I set mine to as cold as possible and never touch it again.  If you actually have to turn yours down you have the best running unit I’ve ever heard about on this list!
