Great fridge!
Much bigger on the inside than it looks. Without having to allow for ice or frozen ice packets, it holds quite a bit of food and drink. I used the fridge last weekend on a camping trip and it was great. My Bluetti Power Station ran it fine for two days. It is a very nice fridge. Cools perfectly, simple to use, worked great. Love it, no more ice bags to deal with. Highly recommend this fridge. It is light weight, much lighter than my Rtic cooler and smaller it size as well than the Rtic.

Buy it!
Wow. Awesome product. Purchased because we were traveling and have a baby on breast milk so ice and cooler just wasn’t right for us. Temperature is very accurate, I bought a wireless thermometer to make sure. Not worrying about ice was huge! Worked better than every single hotel fridge we visited. Lightweight and quality made. Moving from car to hotel was a breeze. We even used a battery jumper that powered it for over 2 hrs at time. Insulation is great as it holds temp for hours unplugged and unopened. Even if you don’t need one just buy it, it’s that good. Even has a 2 year warranty.

Effective and efficient
The cooler is misnamed. It’s way better than a cooler. I have a 2600 watt LiFePo4 battery. It ran the cooler constantly for 3 days at a festival. Approximately 48 hours run time at 34F with highs in the mid 90s.It was also opened frequently and liquids were refreshed as used. The cooler didn’t run overnight in the van either, yet the food stayed cold. It’s very quiet, also. No ice was used other than the morning transfer from the hotel fridge to the cooler.

A very reliable versatile portable electric cooler/freezer
We purchased this cooler for our RV for a long trip, since we needed extra freezer space.The inside is not tall enough for some liter bottles, etc, so will have to lay those down.We ran this cooler for 6 weeks straight, only unplugging to move around the camper. It performed like a champ.Since the outer shell is susceptible to scratches and dings, we also had purchased the padded travel cover.I highly recommend adding the padded cover, since it not only protects the cooler's outside, but also does a great job helping to insulate it and keep the temps steady. The cover has opening for the vents and allows easy access to the controls without removing. The case also has pockets to store the cords and instructions and more items. Easy to remove and access the lid.The temp would vary just a few degrees at times, which I expected. The compressor and fans are very quiet.We used this as a freezer at first (set to 0 degrees) and later used as a refrigerator (at 38 degrees).When used as a freezer, some ice did form inside, but not very much.We also used the cooler in ECO mode 90% of the time and it held temps great. We only had to put on MAX when we added items that were not already cold.This cooler will not retain temp very long if unplugged, so keep that in mind. You can also get an optional battery to power it if needed, which is a great feature.

Nice fridge freezer for small RV
While I ended up returning this in favor of another one of their models that was just a bit more expensive but had a couple of extra features that I wanted, that this model did not have. That said, this model is nicer looking than the one I am keeping from this company. So based on the performance of the one I kept, I have to say that it works well. Mine brought the temperature down to below freezing within a half hour on eco mode from about 68 degrees F. These refrigerator coolers are constructed well. Has about 1 cu.ft. of space for food. These models draw very little power and one EcoFlo Delta 2 or similar will run this over night with battery capacity to spare. That’s about 45 watts so a 1200 watt hour power station will run this for quite a while.

5 stars but 1 flaw.
5 stars but 1 flaw: After over a month of testing in various situations including in a hot car, while driving, on the porch, and inside, I came to the conclusion that I can solidly recommend this to people. Bad things first. The insulation is thin. Its a fridge, not a cooler designed to hold ice for 5 days. It isn't gonna keep stuff cold when powered off for 12 hours. In an on/off setup such as driving a ways then going into a store it was still cool enough when I came out to know my perishables were not going to perish. Start the day with it filled with frozen water bottles or ice blocks and remove them as you need more room. Worked great. Pair it with a small power station (ecoflow river ran great) and it will run for hours on that and hold temp well. A 3 hour road trip with hours in the middle of shopping and it was perfect to bring back some rare deserts and fresh meats. The big flaw took weeks to pinpoint and lots of testing. If you place a non-cooled item, such as a room temp bottle of water/soda/etc, in the front right corner of the container in a few minutes it will incorrectly register a warmer temp and turn on. This leads to a problem that if you are using it as a fridge it will plunge the inside well below freezing until that item is cooled off. If you already have cold stuff inside at a temp of 34F and the fridge is trying with all its might to cool off something that is 60F, your already cold stuff will risk freezing. Fresh fruit and veggies might be ruined. Add warm soda to a bunch of cold soda, and the cold ones might freeze and burst. Additionally this uses extra power. If anyone is having a 'higher than normal' temp reading this is likely the problem. The temp sensor is somewhere in that front wall. Having it in direct sun will have a similar result. (attached photos: the thermometer in the photo has 2 numbers, the small one is the temp)Which gets us to the good stuff. Power: At max running I've measured this to a peak draw of 65 watts, and running of less than 50. In a climate controlled area it took a few days to use 1KW of power with a 1qt block of water inside as a thermal mass. Cycle time seems good (except the issue listed above), and it is really quiet to the point it blends into the background noise. My only regret is I didn't buy the bigger one.
