Thank you, I'm so sick of all the useless sponsored "reviews" of 12V fridges coming out, it's so hard to find someone who had used many kinds and can honestly compare them. I really appreciate your videos on this!

[marilynjones]

With rents at $2300 a month. More & more people are doing CAR life/SUV life/ VAN Life. So this video comes in handy. I need a very small refrigerator to run on a very small jackery.

[HolmesProspecting]

Holy Smokes.

I found the holy grail of reviews.

[RevCurtis]

Thank you so much. I'm a truck driver and I need a portable fridge. You saved my life with this video. Now I know what to get and what can fit in my volvo. Thank your Dad for me. He's the best

The fact that I, an almost 60-yo grandma, watched, and LIKED, a 30-minute video about technology means a lot! lol. I'm looking forward to getting and equipping a "Mini Van Camper" with solar power, fridge, and A/C, in the next year or two. I just found your page, hoping to find information comparing COOLING / Air-conditioning using Solar Power.

Saving people alot of money with a video like this. Trial and error is expensive. Thank you for this!!

[larrybell]

This is the best comparison of 12 volt refrigeration that I have found.

[voltron]

This video had me smiling throughout the whole video. I thought I was the only one who viewed fridges this way. Great stuff and thanks for sharing

Engel - My father bought one in new 1985 & I bought one 2nd hand in 2000 (1986) for $400 (Aus), both still going strong.

[tommykimble]

I love my 12v engel. If I wanted to it would freeze a box of ice cream solid! Been using it constantly in my semi truck since 2017 with 0 issues.

[shwartz]

your father in-law seems like a really good preson. I really enjoiyed the chimestry between you two ( listening to your conversation ) . thank you for summing so much information into this video!

I have the identical ICECO unit, the 45 he has in the video, it is built like a tank. I have had it a year now in my semi, I pulled the front passenger seat and bolted it to the floor. No issues to date, it holds 38* and it is never shut off. I was parked for around a week, away from the truck, my 1/2 gallon of milk was still ice cold and fresh when I got into it today. I have solar on the truck, and it draws very little energy on the 12 volt side. I did purchase the ABR 12 volt plug as it stays put in the outlet. I would buy this unit again.

Wonderful! Antunclecompressor fridge is great, too!
