Pros & Cons
Pros
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.
Whynter remembers for us. When ref senses 10. Amazon has many choices. Stay tuned.
Cons
It no longer cools. I suspect it has a temperature 'high limit' switch which turns off at a certain temp.
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 albatross is dead. These units seem to only last one year and, as if they have a timer, die with no real warning. Won't work on 12v or 110. I want my lifepo4 batteries cut off at 12.
Customer support isnonexistent. There was no way to reach out to the manufacturer. Will have to talk to customer service.
Highlights
Quality

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.
Price
Yes the initial cost is high but the return on investment is worth it.
Shipping
I really appreciate the flexibility, as i had a trip planned and was doubtful about the back and forth shipping and repair maki... Read More
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.
Shipping damaged the fridge a bit, got a replacement sent out.
Competitiveness
Purchased july 2022 and used for 2-week off-grid camping trip.
This appears to be a top notch unit.
We had an issue with our fm-85 whynter.
A chest freezer that only runs on 110v (lacking 12v operation) is about a fifth the price and twice the capacity.
