Wow we got this for a trip to Texas and Destin fla. Worked beautifully to keep salads and things cool and after the trip used it to keep beers in at home

It worked ok for 2 months now it gives me code F3 for 240. 00 dollars figured i woukd at least get a year out of it. I would not buy this piece of junk don't recommend this.

I bought this to replace a cooler for food items while camping. It has been a valuable item to our camping set up. It draws little power and keeps food items cold. Note the less you have in there the less accurate the temp range will drop vs the setting. My only wish is that it came with a basket or divider to help organize a little. But thats not a a huge hindrance. Overall a good buy.

I have been using this portable compressor based refrigerator/cooler for 4 months now and it has been operating well. I have set the temperature at 41F and it will maintain the temperature within +-4F. The one that is somewhat bothersome, is that it tends to form condensation on the sides.

I couldn’t decide between the 16 and 10 Q models so ordered them both since they were priced about the same. The 16 Q is surprisingly light which is good because once it is full it will be even heavier. It has handles on both sides which makes it easy to lug around. I also really like the 4 spots to attach straps. I will use them to anchor it in the car. I plan to use the cooler to freeze ice packs to keep a separate larger cooler cold so I don’t have to buy ice. I thought the extra freezer space of the 16 Q would give me room for ice packs and food. The drawback for me is that it is too large to fit on the floor in the front seat. I can’t shut the door. So it would have to go in the back which I don’t want. I have a van so the space is large. If you had a car it would have to go on the back seat or the trunk.They both work exactly the same so it is just a mater of how much space you want/need for cold items and where you want to put it. I have the same issues others have talked about regarding the size being just a bit to small for 2 cans width wise. No matter how you pack it you end up with too much space for air which will make it work harder to cool. The size of the ice packs in the picture are 6X3.5X1.It looks like a nice enough cooler just to big for my needs.

The refrigerator in our motorhome was not cooling properly on a 40 Day road trip. I purchased this and was able to have it shipped to a campground where we were staying. It came in extremely handy! We were able to freeze our blue ice blocks in it and then stick them into the refrigerator and freezer to save our groceries! We also kept some perishables in the fridge Portion of this unit as well. Again, really saved our vacation and our food! Highly recommended! A good price and quality product.

Let it run for about 1 week so far before a trip. Working well, using it as a freezer so temp is set to about 0. It runs pretty much non stop in eco mode to keep that temp. It's using about 620 watts per day. It allows for temperature offset if the temp is off, but mine was within a degree or 2 of being dead on. Display shows the temp fluctuating a lot as the compressor turns on and off, but the thermostat i put in there shows a very consistent temperature that only fluctuates 2 or 3 degrees Fahrenheit. So far so good. I would like a more sealed and insulated chest so the compressor didn't have to run so much, but that would probably mean that the overall size would be larger. For the price I am very happy. Using it as a refrigerator uses significantly less power although I didn't test that since my planned use is as a freezer.

First the upside:The fridge is super super quiet! Sometimes I have to put my hand on it or take a peek at the temp gauge to see if it’s running!It has a latch that actually catches and holds the lid in place.I am able to fit enough food for a single person for about 4 days (less if I added jars and bottles of condiments)It runs all day (off and on) and seems to manage a + or - temp within 3 degrees of what it’s set for. Full or empty will affect the temp as will longer periods of not opening it, outside air temp, etcThe handles on the side are molded into the cooler body so it’s real easy to move when needed and it won’t take up a ton of space when put away.Now the down side:It’s pretty small inside, more so because the lid protrudes down inside by 1/4” and can make it a trick to pack and then close. Now I chose this size so it’s my fault I got a small one, that said a small plastic bottle of milk is too tall, a bottle of BBQ sauce, coffee creamer (small bottle) and so on will stand up inside but then the lid won’t close, so bottles need to be laid down.It generates heat from vents around the compressor on 3 sides… cover one and the unit will overheat. This affects the places you might think this little guy will fit. You have to make sure there is constant airflow around the compressor end of the fridge at all times. In early fall in northern Az I found that inside my van the temp rose considerably and I had to open windows and vents and turn on fans to vent the heat. I now know enough to leave the roof vents open. I’m concerned about next summer.Because this is like the idiots guide to 12v fridges I had to get used to the fact that this comes with no Bluetooth or power settings etc. this is as basic as it gets!! Plug in power up and pick a temp…. The fridge does the rest.Since the fridge has no power settings it just runs to achieve the internal temperature you set, then shuts off- And when it feels like it needs to run again it clicks back on. The idea here is that currently I have it plugged into a battery bank with only 150ah (amp hours) and if I dont recharge back to a 100% charge each day the unit will draw the battery down considerably. After 48hrs with no charge up- this fridge will take the batteries to 60%. This is all based on several factors- the temp I set, how much food is inside, the temp inside the van, and so on. Also currently I only have 200 watts of solar so it seems like charging is all I do, 40% use of power can take 5-6 hours to recharge because I’m charging as the appliance is plugged in- it slows the recharge process. Its not terrible but it is worth keeping an eye on. I’ve since buying the fridge added 300watts more of solar panel and doubled the batteries capacity.No internal light, no baskets, no drain plug.Overall I am thrilled with my new fridge. Its positives outweigh the negatives. I purchased the 16qt version so yeah it’s small but then for the last 16-18months I had no fridge at all….I should point out that this is a top load fridge so the cold settles at the bottom. That means veggies that are touching the sides or bottom of the fridge will freeze at fridge temperature. Just be careful how you pack things in and you’ll be fine.I got mine on a great sale and picked it up for just over a $100. I added the 3 year warranty because things break. I highly recommend the protection.I will try to remember to do a follow up at one year.Happy shopping to all!!
