Cheap vs Expensive overland fridge

#4runner #fridge #toyota overland
I bought two 12v drawer fridges to compare the differences to see if more expensive means more better. ‪@DometicOfficial‬ vs the Amazon special fridge. The results are shocking! Fridges - Amazon: amzn.to/40hYRWC, Dometic fridge: amzn.to/3ogJeBJ (Affilate).
Thank you for your help in supporting the channel!

Great video, looking for a compact fridge/freezer and I cant fathom spending 600 for the dometic. Great review 👏

Awesome! I’ve been hoping you would make this video. I ended up with a SR5P and have been using your information to help me build it out! Thanks for taking the time to create this content! I am also putting in my vote for a video on your drawer system!

[@EmbarkWithMark]

Congrats on the SR5P! You are very welcome. I’m glad your getting useful info from these videos. Have you decided if/what fridge your running? I shall make the video on my drawer setup. :)

It's also the time in cooling, faster cooling takes more energy for the Dometic.

[@EmbarkWithMark]

Good point.

Thanks for the video Mark very helpful. We were about to move forward with the Amazon fridge but noticed that the specs on Amazon show it to have a total length of 35" (29' fridge body + 6" external condenser) the one in your video seems a lot shorter in length? Do you know if they are different? For our build 2D rubicon that 35" is about 6" too long. Any help is appreciated

[@EmbarkWithMark]

Your welcome! I can’t remember the overall length. I feel like they are pretty close. Dometic has the exact dimensions on their website. The Dometic has a huge advantage in that you can move the compressor setup around a bit. Either to the side or remote mount it.

👍 Thanks for your videos, this one & the one before when you first got it. Overall, I'd choose the cheaper & better optioned Amazon fridge/freezer drawer 🙂 Sadly the Amazon one is unavailable at this time (Sept2023) Cheers - Ted

You are very welcome! Yea, the features of the cheaper amazon fridge are really hard to beat, I have to admit that. Just give it a little time, they always come back in stock. :)

I just don’t see a reason for the higher price Dometic. I mean other than the latch feeling a bit off it sounds like the Amazon one is a much better deal. The key factor here is longevity so I guess we will see. Thanks for the review.

[@EmbarkWithMark]

I would have to agree. The Dometic does feel like a better built fridge, but will it last twice as long for twice the price? My friend has the Amazon fridge so well do a long term update in a year and see how they have held up. Thank you for your input, glad you enjoyed the review.

Do you have measurements for the edhbay? I'm seeing contradictory numbers and one measurement will fit and the other won't.

[@EmbarkWithMark]

I cant seem to find them. From my memory it’s about the same size as the dometic. Very close if memory serves.

[@blakerodwell]

Lol, in Australia the Dometic is the cheap fridge

[@EmbarkWithMark]

I'm guessing Engel is a top tier brand?
