Love this!
We bought this mini fridge/cooler to give us extra fridge space for our camper. It works excellent, frankly better than our camper fridge. It makes a great beer or beverage fridge, nice and cold! We love it.

Love this...BUT...
This fridge is awesome. We work in the car and it definitely is amazing for water and keeping our lunches cool. BUT... after a few weeks the car charger just fell apart and I am not seeing anyway to get a replacement...HELP!!!!!

Constant temp
This is one of my best purchases of the year so far. We used it for a 6 day trip, the temperature was constant daily, both with mobile plug-in or when in a hotel. Fit everything we want and needed.The wt even full was still reasonable, low noise level,.Best value for my money this year so far!

Works well for my application!
Works well at home, in the car, and on the boat. Perfect for my application. Hopefully it will last many years.

Well built, Works. Doesn't draw too much DC current for cigarette lighters. Reasonable pricing.
I did not have a portable refrigerator and saw this offered. I thought it might come in handy for traveling, camping, or other events where access to ice was an issue. When I received the item I found that it came well packaged, including adequate instructions. The price point seems respectable, slightly below similar offerings on Amazon. The refrigerator unit appeared well built and not at all cheap looking. The refrigerator has a smaller storage space on its interior that I at first thought was a smaller cubby for food items. However, it seems this additional smaller space doesn't get cool like the larger space. My second thought was that perhaps this space was simply for storing the power cords. I could not find anything in the advertisement or instructions which address my question. In my case I choose to store the power cords in the small cubby.I ran the refrigerator off both power sources (AC and DC) with no problems. After reviewing the instructions I found the control panel/display menu very easy to get around and use. The refrigerator held fairly stable at my preferred refrigerator temperatures (35-38 degrees F) at indoor ambient room temperature. I then tested the refrigerator for freezer potential, again, using both power sources. I found that the best the refrigerator (as a freezer) could go down to was about 0 (zero) degrees F at indoor ambient room temperature ranging 68-72 degrees F.I decided to test the refrigerator's Low Voltage Protection Battery Monitor feature. This feature has three settings for different levels of battery protection, designed to shut off the refrigerator if voltage drops below a certain level and turn back on when battery voltage raises above that certain level. This feature is supposed to keep the refrigerator from draining a vehicle starting battery too low, and two other (lower voltage) settings to protect other type of batteries (RV, etc.) from damage due to overdraw. In my situation I used an Alinco, 12 volt, 32 amp, DM-330MV Switching Power Supply for the 12 volt test. The power supply does have an analog meter to indicate the provided voltage and 12v amps being drawn. However, after doing my test, I found that the meter wasn't all that accurate. I tested the actual voltage provided from the switching supply with a Craftsman digital voltage multi-meter and found that the actual voltage was 13.04 volts output while the meter said 13.8 volts output (what the refrigerator manual says is optimum voltage). However, I had already done my tests for the Low Voltage Protection Battery Monitor relying on what the meter said and did not have time to do the tests over again with the actual voltage adjusted up to 13.8 volts. But, for what its worth, the refrigerator did shut off and turn back on at the three different Low Voltage Protection Battery Monitor settings (based upon my lower power supply voltage of 13.04 volts). I used some ratio math (and the questionable analog meter) to adjust voltage figures based on my math. I am not sure using the ratio math method keeps things consistent so take this information with a grain of salt. But here are my refrigerator settings findings: H3 highest setting - refrigerator went off @ 11.5 V +/- (12.2 V meter), turned back on @ 12.3 V +/- (13 V meter). H2 middle setting - refrigerator turned off @ 10.9 V +/- (11.5 V meter), turned back on @ 11.5 V +/- (12.1 V meter). H1 lowest setting - refrigerator turned off @ 9.3 V +/- (9.8 V meter), turned back on @ 10.9 V +/- (11.5 V meter). Additionally, when I dropped voltage down during my test to see when it would shut down, the display showed the E1 error code (Input voltage is low). Anyways....my testing seems to confirm that there are three different settings for battery protection levels as described in the advertisement/instructions. How accurate are my numbers? Not sure. Using my sameI ran the refrigerator continuously for about a week (after adjusting the power supply up to the specified 13.8 volts DC). I heard it turn on and off as one would expect to keep the refrigerator at my set "refrigerator" temperature range. It kept the temperature fairly stable with a few soda cans put inside for good measure. I ran the refrigerator in both HH (normal) and ECO mode. I don't know what was gained by using ECO mode versus HH mode since my power supply meter showed about 5.5 DC amps on start-up and about 3.8-3.9 DC amps after stabilizing. Again, the power supply meter was off a bit on voltage so the same might be true for amperage. But the amperage draw was the same regardless of what mode it was set on. The refrigerator seemed to turn on and off, with about the same regularity, while keeping my preferred temperature range.Overall I am very happy with this portable refrigerator. It works and does not draw too many DC amps for my vehicle / RV cigarette lighter to cause any issues. I will be using the refrigerator this summer.

does not cool near as cold as advertised
never got cold, at best cool maybe 60 degrees that's it even running for several hours. stopped working after 2 months. save your money and buy another brand, this one is no good!

Noise
It Worked but was noisier than I was expecting .I tried it on a small road trip in an electric car and it drew a lot more than I expected in energy.
