Pros & Cons
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.
Customer support is nonexistent. It usually takes them 2+ weeks to reply and they continue to blame the issue on my electrical current. I was incredibly frustrated at the response.
Highlights
Quality
You will be really happy with the quality of this freezer thing!
I am impressed by the unit as long as it continues to give me good service.
Some of the reviews listed issues with the control panel.
We had some issues with the dc cord that came with it, as in it never worked.

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.
