This product solved my fridge problem. I went a few rounds with propane fridges and also tried running a dorm fridge from an inverter for a while in my camper, which was horrible on the batteries. But this fridge really doesn’t use much power and is reliable. I have a battery gauge that used to show some serious drop when powering my dorm fridge, especially on startup. But not with this fridge, it shows a .3 -.6 volt drop then recovering back to original voltage after the compressor cycle. So in short, I don’t know how much power…
and It works perfect as it draws some 30 watts/hour Bought this fridge in 2013 and installed in a cabin at 7400 feet elevation in the Dominican republic. I run it with 8 deep cycle batteries charged with a solar panel array, and It works perfect as it draws some 30 watts/hour. With the low temperatures prevailing at the site the compressor barely starts every 20-30 minutes and runs for a couple of minutes only and still keeps the temperature of the fridge at 2 centigrades (35 F). Bottom line it may use as little as 48 watts per day in this…
Excellent 12 volt frig. Easy to install and works great in RV in Mexico heat. Runs off of batteries with 2 solar panels, 2×200 watt. Surprised by how fast.it shipped to us!
