Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It only takes about 30mins or less to get the temp down to 37 degrees in eco mode. Works as a fridge/freezer.

Fm45-g costs much less than a comparably sized arb or dometic unit. Powerful yet relatively quiet compressor cools quickly and efficiently. Only drawback is that the compressor is not completely silent.

Customer service is outstanding. Amazon has many choices. Stay tuned. Buy it.

John fontana beaufort s. Is a great addition for off grid, or a campervan or boat. Purchased for our sailboat. Been living in the van with this and drove 8000 miles, many bumpy forest roads.



Cons

The unit is fine but the compressor makes a lot of noise. Now, like the 1st one, it no longer cools. I actually suspect the unit has a temperature 'high limit' switch which turns off at a certain temp, but it's not possible to get anyone competent to ...  Read More

This is a heavy and bulky item and there is a considerble distance between their dropping point and the door they were supposed to use. Its by the dumpster at boot key harbor city marina. The warranty is only year.

Quality


You will be really happy with the quality of this freezer thing!

He agreed, and said if it didn’t work, we could start the shipping process.


Jose was kind enough to extend the warranty for one month and offered to begin the shipping process.

Competitiveness


Purchased july 2022 and used for 2-week off-grid camping trip.


This appears to be a top notch unit.


A chest freezer that only runs on 110v (lacking 12v operation) is about a fifth the price and twice the capacity.


Have a jackery 500; at 70 degree average overnight temps, only used 50% of battery over a 12-hour period.
