Hi - we have purchased one of these fridges and have not had any issues with it but it has been given very little use. We are looking at purchasing a second one for our canopy and will be heading to remote WA. I would like to know if you are still happy with the fridge and if it is still working or whether you have changed to a different one?

@@KellyBrown-s8f hi, sorry for the delay. I still have the original fridge from this review. It now lives in a black DMax canopy and is run as a fridge freezer. It has kept ice cream frozen in 45°. Works a bit harder amps wise but gets it done. I’ll never buy another fridge. Enjoy your trip.

Thanks for your good review method and details. But 0 degrees Celsius is not a tough test, and I would have liked to see it reviewed as a freezer too, *especially* whether it really does freeze down to -18 Celsius (or if it can't, what can it freeze down to), and how much power it uses to keep things at -18 Celsius, or whatever the real-life minimum is. This is the acid test that sorts the men from the boys, and it has to perform as a freezer too, surely!

I've owned one for 20 months now. cheap and nasty, hard to keep the inside clean as it is like aluminium foil type lining and marks easily with the baskets rattling around, not like an easy to clean solid plastic liner in other fridges. Plus if you spill something inside is not easy to clean up due to the sharp internal corners that eventually become mouldy. But the biggest issue for me, on a recent camping trip it suddenly decided it wont go below 5 degrees. set it lower to like 2 degrees and the compressor runs non stop, so obviously something has packed up and I'm battling with a warranty claim as of now as comes with a 2 year warranty. When new, and for the first few months I thought it was a good for the price, but to see what something is really like a long term review is needed. for me minus one star.

Great video! I've had the same unit for over 2 years and it's on a slide in my aluminium canopy. I go off road quite regularly and it copes very well with the rough terrain. The only issue I can report was with the power pug on the unit. It looked fine but would not make contact so no power was getting to it. I bypassed the plug and simply hard wired it. I run 2 90ah batteries that charge from a 160w solar panel or from the alternator while driving. Even when parked up for close to a week under heavy cloud cover, I've never had any problems with the fridge draining the batteries. During the week, I usually have the fridge loaded with water bottles, both frozen and cold, to use at work. When camping, there is plenty of room to carry all the food supplies (including ice creams) for trips away. Other than the power plug issue, I cannot fault this fridge and highly recommend it to anyone! This fridge actually works better than the 240v fridge in my house!

Only wish the lids were reversable and it had plug points at either end for greater flexibility. For the price its a winner.

I've had one of these for around 2.5 years now and it's been my favorite fridge so far, and this is the 7th 12v fridge I've had over the years. It's quieter than any of the Danfoss/Secop based fridges I've had in the past. I've never had it struggle yet in heat. I like the LG compressor. The only thing that annoys me about this fridge is the basket that doesn't create a barrier over the area where you would keeps eggs and salad etc (above the motor) I don't know whether newer models have remedied this?

Great video test. You say you are running 2x 150A AGM Batteries, did you check the voltage state the next morning to see how much power was consumed ? We’re you also running solar input or just power from your batteries? The reason I ask is I have a 1x 135A AGM and 25A dc dc charger and not sure if it will cope, what are your thoughts.
@InfxusAdventures2 жыл бұрын
Voltage doesn’t really show usage. The amps used does. I use solar in my setup but didn’t have it hooked up for this test. I just ran off fully charged batteries. I think provided you run your vehicle for a few hours every day, your setup should be fine. I would suggest you get solar though for when your sitting still.
