Expensive to say the least so I was very skeptical. It has some sort of industrial quality Danfoss compressor made specifically for automotive and rugged use?.

The problem with everything we have purchased in the past is that when you go across I-70 west of Colorado, those mini-fridges tend to fail because of the constant altitude changes. That, or the consistent shaking gets them and they stop working after a few months.

Wife keeps the temp setting at about +23F. It freezes whatever is in the very bottom of it, and the stuff at the top is just above freezing. Had it for few months, so far it is holding up to the abuse of the roadways and extreme altitudes we have put it through.

Seen that on your Amazon page (awesome idea btw) and these popped up too. The folks that reviewed them claim they are as good as the ARB just less cost. They say they use about 45 watts instead of the 80 some a fridge does. I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, but I"m thinking about it. I did good with an RTIC cooler and keeping ice in it but its an everyday thing with fetching ice and draining as I'm sure most already know.
