This is big for cooler, but that is the tradeoff for choosing an actual compressor refrigerator rather than an ice chest. Most of the bulk. is the mechanics too, but the capacity is just what I need. I will mainly use this as a camper cooler, but the real purpose for me is as a back up refrigerator for medication. Having its own batter makes it perfect. NB it isn’t rated for pharmaceutical s, this is private use and regular consumer refrigeration is the norm.
They advertise “up to 42 hours” on a single charge. I got 60, albeit not in the most stressful conditions. Still, with two batteries (i bought an extra, it comes with one) I feel confident about getting two to three days of cooling, probably longer. That was my criteria for emergency planning, for that it exceeds expectations. Temperature stability was about what you would expect for a consumer refrigerator this size.
Oh, I got a kick out of the manual that labelled the bottle opener on the side as a “screwdriver”. It would be pretty clumsy for that purpose. Technical writer or translator must not be familiar with American coolers. But the manual was mostly clear, and operating the cooler is mostly intuitive. The one exception is turning off the indicator LEDs on the batteries. Had to experiment either that, and it doesn’t always work.
It will be nice to have camping as well!
