Review: Excellent Fridge! Stays cold, doesn't use a lot of juice to maintain temp, and has held up to abuse! - This fridge was highly recommended by a certain overlanding youtuber I follow. I chose it based on his recommendation, my own research, budget, the style and also the fact that it is the only fridge at this price point that I could find having a 3 year compressor warranty. My first impressions were excellent and still loving it after some hard use. The fridge came well packaged in the box, arriving in pristine condition. The construction is high quality, hinges and latches are very sturdy and built to last. The lid seals well. The handles have a tight spring that holds them down so they don't flop and bang around. The buttons are nice and you have to hold them down to change the settings, so you don't accidentally change a setting and kill your battery or whatever. I read another review where the 12v adapter plug didn't fit snugly but mine is very snug and no problems with that connection so far whatsoever. I can plug it in to regular 110 outlet in the house and the temp will go from 85 to 34 within 15 minutes. I sometimes leave it plugged in and running for several days in the house and it runs quietly. I've taken it on several 3 and 4-day long camping trips where it rides in the bed of my Jeep Gladiator plugged into a 12v outlet while driving and an ECOFLOW RIVER 2 Max 500 Portable Power Station to power it overnight and when not on the move. I can adjust the settings as needed to help reduce the power it requires but it really maintains temp well overnight without using a lot of power. It's tough too, I've had it in the bed of the Gladiator without properly securing it while wheeling over large rock obstacles and deep mud holes and it's taken a bit more of a beating than I'd like to admit with only a small dent in the outside and it still runs like a top. Very happy with my purchase. Definitely think this fridge is the best bang for your buck if you're in the market for one in this price range.
Review: dry camp 300w solar, 1.2kwh battery - very impressed with the build quality. the insulation, lid sealing/latching, control panel, efficiency all seem to be top notch. things we like: - pull out baskets for easy cleanup of spilled items, to take into the house for loading and unloading. - metal lining for ease of cleaning and adds to the build quality / durability. - latching lid and foam seal. - appears to have thick insulation and overnight run test seems to confirm this. - quiet operation. - low power consumption. we plan to use this dry camping as a freezer and our test overnight seems to indicate we should have no problem doing this. my setup: - 3x100 w solar panels - 1.2 kwh power station - Southern State in early May, 85° day 60° night - inside box truck slightly higher temp where the freezer is. - 10° freezer setting. - Max operation setting IE not econo mode. our concern is it running overnight, as during the day, the solar can more than keep up with its power use, which in the photograph attached is about 66 Watts running at Max cooling. we ran the freezer overnight and measured power consumption crudely from 5:00 p.m.(solar power dwindles) till 6:00 a.m.(solar power starts to produce) the next morning. it consumed roughly 35% of the power station or roughly 420wh, which is ~32w/hr overnight. By 11:00 a.m. the power station had been fully recharged to 100%. checked the temperature before and after and it stayed constant at just below 10° see pictures. temperature on control panel seems to match quite well with my refrigerator temperature gauges. unit is quiet we had no issues sleeping in the same area with it running. the cigarette lighter power connector is a weak link in that it is apt to vibrate out or become dislodged. I used some cable management web on the cord and used a split key ring with cable ties and an s hook to provide a strain relief, see picture. I have a 12 ft extension at 10 gauge and that is in the picture. I don't like the power cord into this unit as it exits towards the front and I would prefer it exit towards the back i e hinged back of the lid see picture. I will need to see about strain relieving it also. power connection into the unit location is good just the orientation of the cord is something I wish was changed. regardless of price, build quality seems very good and at the price point we got it with manufacturer / desertcart discount we can highly recommend it. if it still performs well after the next couple of weeks, we will get another one to act as a refrigerator IE to run out 34°.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many watts does it draw?**
A: I do not choose items for purchase easily and demand rugged efficient tools and products. I did roughly 2 weeks of and on research on portable refrigerators  with a budget of $450 and this fridge cannot be beat. The average wattage is only about 35 watts and not even continuously. Im a 30 year electrician and do solar,  I saw a review of this unit that ran for 3 days on a portable power unit that was only 288wh with 8 percent left! so this fridge is going in my solar powered overland RV .  Hope this helps

**Q: How many DC amps on 12 volts does it use?**
A: Hi, there. Thanks for your question. The DC amp is 7.5A when the voltage is 12v.

**Q: could you sit on top of the fridge without breaking the lid?**
A: been using my setpower fridge for a week and sitting on it: 160 female. seems more than capable of handling my weight.

**Q: Does this unit switch from 12v to 110 automatically**
A: The unit only operates on 12v. The included AC adapter has an accessory socket on it that the 12v plug goes into.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good buy - POINTS TO CONSIDER!
*by P***S on July 31, 2022*

This is a sturdy, consistent product that gets the job done very well - a great product for the price range ('affordable' cooler/fridge/freezer). I hate buying ice for road trips and this product has successfully removed that step from my life. This cooler is great to use in-house, in-cabin, in-hotel room… or even when you simply need an additional fridge space (e.g. home gathering, etc). With some practice and tweaking - this portable fridge/freezer takes care of biz very well and keeps your foodstuffs out of the 'danger zone'. A FEW POINTS TO CONSIDER, however: 1) 'set-temp' vs 'real temp' -- I found that setting the device (set-temp) to 25 F allowed the fridge to run at a range of approximately 38-37 to 34-33 F (real temp) - a great temp for fridge foodstuffs. You will want to find a good range from coolest to warmest as your compressor turns off (coolest) and turns back on again (warmest) - for me, this was a set-temp of 25 F which offered about 30 minutes (give or take) from the coolest temp to the highest temp and then about 10 minutes (give or take) for the compressor to kick in and cool the device back down. This is something the manufacturer does not really consider or mention in their somewhat rudimentary instructions (i.e. setting your fridge to 34 F ain’t gonna cut it…) 2) Get a cheap fridge thermometer... it's a good idea to have a detached reference so you really know what temp you have in your fridge… there is no separate in-fridge thermometer… which would have been a nice feature. 3) You will want to consider cheaper models – we are all trying to get the most bang for our buck… BUT, I feel this product – although not the most ‘high-tech’ device – is built quite well and performed without a hiccup over our recent road trip/cabin excursion across desert and up into the mountains, and practice in-home prior. For what you may sacrifice for more (seemingly) fancy options, you get a sturdy, reliable device which maintains very consistent temps (the goal). 4) If you are an avid outdoors-person, off-the-grid camper, etc… this may be a great value for you IF YOU HAVE a reliable power source (RV power source, generator, etc) … BUT, you may want consider other options (i.e. with solar, etc) if you need additional support to power this device. Going into the $1000 or so range may offer you less tinkering and monitoring at the start. That said, once I became accustomed to this device and found my temp sweet-spot, I really didn’t have to think about it. 5) Overall, very happy with this purchase and recommend so long as you know what you are getting – check out the videos on Amazon and on-line for more details
