Pros & Cons
Pros
Fridge comes with easy instructions and is very simple. Make sure to calibrate it first though. The instructions are not in the manual, but a quick google search will tell you how. It maintains its temp well.
Keep fridge plugged in to 12v with no worries of vehicle not starting. A 100 watt solar panel, mppt charge controller, and 100ah lifeline agm battery runs this thing 24/7 in southern california. The only issue with it is that it will not work if you u... Read More
It's spendy but it's a solid performer. My arb is a champ. Very sturdy construction.
Great product. That's only complaint i have. Couldn't be happier.

Packaging/appearance
Was a bit worried when we plugged it in at home the first night.
Competitiveness
I had a dometic/ waeco fridge that broke after a few months of use.
I have this hooked to a 75ah deep-cycle battery and 100w renogy solar panel for off-grid camping and i'm absolutely astonished ... Read More
Engel also seems like a great brand, but they are more australia-focused and reportedly hard to get repaired in the usa.
