Just got this was packed well and as usual Amazon got it rolling out the door promptly.Plugged it in and it worked.Cooled from 80 degrees to 45 degrees in probably 15 minutes.The fan is not noisy and it doesn't draw much power at all.I just got it, so could die tomorrow but the way it sounds I can tell they did their homework.
Even the latch on the top door is great quality has a spring action the puts tension on the lid to keep it somewhat down even before you latch.Smart.Only complaint is it came with a dent in the front of it that happened between the first box and second 'shipping' box at the factory.Ah, but so what, it's nice and seems to work great.Did the flash freeze, got down to -2 and stayed there.Outside didn't get cool so the insulation must be good.
I'm a big solar guy, so when I go camping will run this off the sun + battery during the day and just a battery at night.I will post a pic showing it with a 1/2 gallon of milk inside, to give you some perspecitve.
I was going to buy an Engel fridge/freezer but couldn't justify the high price tag.
This fridge/freezer is about $400.00 cheaper and while it may not last as long as an Engel i'm sure it will last at least 5 years with proper care.
I live overseas and spending this much on a portable fridge is risky how they handle the mail is a crap shoot.
I didn't expect this to arrive for at least month from the time of order. I was surprised it arrived in 4 days which is remakable through the Military mail system. In fact as much as it weighs it arrived without a scratch!
The fridge is simple to operateAC or run on a deep cycle battery. Set the temp you want and thats it.
It's bit on the heavy side but not so much you can't lift it where you want to set it. The Plus is the removable baskets which should save you some back pain over time.
With these type of applances, they either work out of the box or they don't the first time you plug them in.
It's been my experence if they work they will work trouble free for a long time.
Luckly mine worked right out of the box :)
looks like I'll be one happy camper :)
